Water heater not igniting

[mbd4kids]

We have a 1999 3023, and when I tried to light the water heater the reset button lights up quickly. I turned off the water heater button, waited 10 seconds (or longer) and turned it on again. This happened several times before I gave up. When consulting my very old manual, it said to check the reset button on the back of the water heater (ECO). It did not seem to move when pressed which I would assume means it didn't trip. I definitely have propane because the fridge lights. Any thoughts as to what to try now? I did take the cover off the ECO and it all looked OK, but I am not too savy with electrical issues. Any advice would be appreciated

My water heater stopped working this morning (it has been working great for the past three weeks strait). I am boondocking in the same place for this last week and it just this morning stopped working. Yes I searched the threads (that is how I found this one and others).

I did not try to do much this morning except to turn the switch off...then on again (I did not wait the usual 20 seconds) and also tried a couple of bad words and still it was not fixed. I tried the reset on both rubber plugs. It has propane (fridge and furnace work). I will go back and disconnect ALL electrical power from the rig, wait 5 minutes, then try again. I used to hear clicking when it started and now I do not hear anything.

Does anyone have a manual on PDF they can post? I have the new 6 gallon Suburban.

THANKS YOU so much.

Does anyone have a manual on PDF they can post? I have the new 6 gallon Suburban.

At risk of being seen as "admonishing" you, I will mention that the manual is in your blue binder, or if you don't have that, it is available as a pdf from numerous sources on the web. You can find it on the Suburban web site (when you search, you will find that Suburban is now a division of AirXcel, so start there). Another source for many manuals is BryantRV.

Good luck with getting it running.

I dont have a blue binder. No instructions came with the used trailer.

Here is a Suburban Service Manual I found. It has a good troubleshooting section.

I will try to "field service" the water heater today.
