Founding Illinios Chapter Leader-retired
I just got back from my 8 day maiden voyage and things went pretty well. I do think my water heater on electric setting is bad. I turned on the propane to heat the water , while I was setting up, then turned it to electric. I then got the compaint from DW no hot water. I then switched back to propane, still no hot water. I then found the problem , one of the valves at the bypass leading to the tank was closed. We got hot water after this fix. I then switched back to electric and the DW takes a shower and complains of her not so good luke warm water. I then turn propane back on, I then have a hot shower. I guess, I need to know did I burn up the electric element to only get warm water or is this the nature of Suburban Water Heaters.
