This might not be much help, without more details, but there should be a valve inside the water heater panel (outside) you can open. Open the valve at the main propane tank also.
Make sure the water tank is FULL before you fire it up. There should be a switch inside the coach somewhere to turn it on.
If it doesn't ignite immediately, you probably have air in the lines. Light the stove and let it burn for a minute, then try the hot water tank again. Might take a few tries to get it fired up.
Bleed your propane system by running the stove for a sec. if that doesn't work go out to the heater and listen for the ignitor clicks see if it's trying to lite. My fifth wheel does this first time every season.
Could be your igniter or possibly your control board. The red light not being on indicates you most likely have an electrical issue. Check your breaker as well. If you nee any parts this site will have them all
make sure it is a propane heater propane burns hotter than gas if not correct heater it will overheat if ok check gas pressure if not enough heater will overheat you also might have too small gas line and are emptying it
Hello,
Your Tankless water heater will briefly turn on when the propane is turned on and you switch it on but it only stays on when the shower handle is turned on to allow the flow of water. The water faucet must be on obviously. The unit will only stay on while the water is flowing out of the shower head.
If the unit doesn't turn on there is 3 things that will prevent it from operating correctly; 1. Batteries must have a charge /power. 2. The propane fuel must be on. 3. Water must be flowing from the shower head regardless of the spray pattern.
Good Luck!
Make sure propane is on and getting to your stove burners ok, first, then try switching it back on. If it fails to ignite, shut switch off and try a couple of times, if still no ignition, get back to me.
First of all you need to give more details with your questions.... is this an atmospheric burner, a ventless, a direct vent or a high efficiency. Since you haven't put this down, I will guess that it is an atmospheric (those who know little about propane always go with the cheapest option) As for your problems....The two are totally unrelated. Check your air gas mixture. it sounds like you need to adjust your burner venturi sleeve.
have tanks tested and certified if need be install back on camper screw on hoses to tanks open valves spray soap and water on fittings make sure no bubles if bubbles repair leaks spray all fittings were propane fittings in system tighten to check for small leaks if no leaks proceed to lighting pilot lites on heater-hot water tank-stove(is in oven and possibly under burners)and fridge on back of fridge(everything should have instructions on it)turn knobs to pilot push in knob lite hold for a few minute till pilot stays lit then turn to on position-may haft to hold pilot for a while to get propane thru all pipes start with unit farthest from tank.(also if stove top doesnt have pilot you can get all air out by turn on burner till it lites-ac should work on 110vac may haft to remove top cover and clean fins with degreaser and hose-water system i will add a cup of bleach and ciculate thru system let sit then flush out entire water system(to prime waterpump hook up hose to side of camper turn on rack all valves turn off all valves pump should be primed)should have 12v deep cycle i use a semi truck battery same thing alot cheaper and heavy duty i buy at battery store for 30dollars instead of a hundred at walmart and last longer-keep top tarped as uv rays will dry out seams(if leaks i goto place that sells semi-trailer parts and buy vulcam one gallon $50.00 a gallon and paint on all seams on top-vents seams etc anywere it could possibly leak)always keep tarped and tarp will take uv rays and weather not roof tarps are cheap compared to leaks)make sure in fall you winterize keep battery inside house were warm drain all water out of system should be valve at low spot if not blow out system if you get all water out of entire system shouldnt need rv antifreeze stuff has terrible taste and hard to flush out!!!dont set camper on ground set on pallets or something instead of straight on ground!!!!goto library get book on rv's learn as much as you can and you will be prepared and wont ruin a good camping trip because of equipment failure!!!Best of Luck to [email protected]
Have we met? Getting some Deja vue here.
Make sure you have propane to the heater by lightly loosening the line at the heater. If so, turn the heater off for 30 minutes make sure the gas line is tight. then attempt ipilot light again
