Hello all. Im a new owner of a used 2009 3950 that I got from a dealer. Walk through information was not entirely accurate but Im figuring things out. The water heater has me perplexed though. I have (through the forum) figured out which switch was which. I was misinformed as to which was which by the salesman. I had thought that maybe I had burned out the electric element based on previous postings, but, I get hot or warm water for a few seconds after the water runs for a few seconds. I did have the element on without water in the heater Im pretty sure, cause bypass for the water heater was shut off. If that were the case why would I be getting a little warm water? I know that the gas heater is not on.
Secondly, how long should it take for the propane water heater to kick on. It seems to be really inconsistent or maybe its not coming on because the water heater has hot water in the heater? Not really sure based on the other problems with the heater. I would appreciate any and all help, but if you have pictures of the different items or things you are suggesting it sure would be helpful for the new guy.
Thanks in advance to all
