I have a 2005 Kountry Star diesel 3910 model and installed is the Suburban RV water heater. This water heater uses electric and gas for heating the water, providing both options. The heater began boiling over at the relief valve, dripping hot water down the side of the coach. Initially this occurred when heating by electric, but now it does this with either electric or gas option. I assume that this might be because the thermostat is not shutting down the heaters at the right time. And on rare occasions we have also had times where the water is not fully heated. But more often it is overheating the water and boiling out through the relief valve.
Is there a way to troubleshoot this to be sure of the problem. And if it is the thermostat (or some other problem) is this user fixable? It is under warranty but rather than go through that hassle, if I can fix it myself I would prefer that.
Any tips or suggestions?
