I have a Suburban SW6DE hot water heater. The switch that turns on the electric element is located under the gas valve on the outside of the TrailManor. I forgot to turn it off once and burned up the electric element (I am certain no one has ever made this mistake but me). I purchased, from Suburban, a switch and light, similar to the one for the gas under the sink. I was wondering if anyone else has ever had the thought to install the electric switch next to the switch for the gas. Before I cut up the panel near the sink I thought someone might have some insight on how I might bypass the switch on the tank (under the outside cover) and wire a switch under the sink with a light which tells me when it is on so that I don't burn up the element again. Does anyone have any insight?
