I normally run the water heater on just the 120V element, but decided to use the propane (alone) for a bit, just to check it out. Seems the system doesn't want to cycle as automatically as it should. To the point that unless I manually recycle the switch, I end up with cooler water from the tank. Works OK on the element, though. Methinks the controller board may be at fault. The switch lights up when you turn it on, but the small indicator light doesn't seem to act "right." When the burner is lit, the flame is clean/blue, and there is no debris in the gas system, so I don't suspect any problems there.
I think I'll check the module board, maybe the plug connections are tarnished from lack of use, for a better word. But, if push comes to shove, I've located a replacement board, online, for the SW12DE unit for about $150.
