My unit is a 2005 Damon Challenger, 36', Workhorse Chassis. My water heater will run from a few hours to a day or so, and then discontinue heating water. This while the switch is still on, and lit.
The first time, it ran for a day and then quit. I turned it off, figuring no point in leaving the switch on, if it doesn't work. Later, my wife wanted hot water, and having forgotten to tell her, she noticed the switch was off, and turned it on. Worked fine. Quit again, a few hours later.
I thought maybe there might be an interlock, so I turned it off, waited five minutes and turned it on, again. Worked fine, again.
Tiring of going thru the on again/off again, process, I thought of this fountain of experience and decided to see if someone here might have an idea as to why the thing kicks off, to start with. Takers?
Helpful hint, maybe. I thought maybe it was kicking off because it was too hot. Looked for a thermostat to turn it down. Didn't find it. Does it have a thermostat? Where is it? Would this cause this problem. I haven/t taken the temperature, but it is hot enough to cause a burn if not mixed with cold. It's too hot.
