Hello all -
Trying to get the hang of our new 2012 177. Today I fired up the water heater for the first time. The dealer basically told me just turn the power switch in the cabin on and it turns on - nothing else to do. I have fresh water in my tank - I turn the water pump on and run the "hot taps" on the kitchen sink and the bathroom, bleeding any air out and allowing water to run from the tap - it was my understanding that there is now water in the water heater tank if the "hot water tap"is producing water?? I turn the cabin switch to on - I hear the propane burner kick on - I came back in about 30 mn later and I had some warm water, when the water pump kicked on I would get surges of hot water and then cold water. I then noticed the red reset light was on. I turned everything off for awhile, turned it all back on, the light was out now, but 10 seconds later I heard a loud click from the water heater and the reset light came back on?? I read various posts about different bypass valves, and the concern of burning out your tank?? And of course the manual is worthless?? I do see the switch for electric in the panel of the water heater - there is a little pin thru the switch so it can not be switched to the "on" position?? Any tips for me?? Thanks |

Try bleeding some more gas thru the lines. Light your stove and let it run for a couple of minuets. Then re try you water htr. again sometimes air in the line will not feed gas to burner.

I am able to get the water heater to fire up no problem - I am just not getting much hot water, and the reset is tripping.

Podsuperior,
Type in "water heater" in the search feature top of forum...Read thru the posts I think it might have something to do with the way your valves on the lines are turned. WWR
