My original thought was about blowing the electrical heating element for the WH. Sorry for hijacking the electrical thread and thanks again for your help. Curt

Please note that the comments on the drains only apply to the front two drains by the tire. The back two drains (by the gray/black dump valves) are for the pressurized hot and cold lines. The hot line could cause some drain of the hot water tank (not the whole tank, but possibly some) depending on where the water is taken from the tank. If you ever release those drains, it could result in a less-than-full hot water tank.
This is why I always check before turning on the heater -- just good practice!
