Last weekend while we were camping we had no hot water. I tried to fire it up with gas, but it would not light. In trying to check it out today, I noticed the following:

a. I am getting electricity to it.
b. The light on the front counter stays lit. I have tried a reset from the back panel outside and the breaker inside with no joy.
c. After I do a reset it sounds like a relay is going on and off. When the relay goes off the light below on the front counter goes off.
d. If I listen carefully I hear a high pitched squeel while powered. If I turn off the power the high frequency sound stops.

I do have a warranty I bought on my trailer. That's the good news if it needs replaced. The bad news is the deductible is $200.00. Any suggestions on what I should be looking for. If the fix is easy enough, I will do it myself.
