SOLVED: Electric hot water heater

First time using electric for hot water, I've always used propane. Is it normal for the red light to be on at the switcH? Or is that a sign that it's not working???

Hi Dylan,

Our Landmark has a wall type of light switch for the electric side of the water heater. When turned on the switch lights up.

If it's not on, check the circuit breakers first. Make sure the rocker switch on the outside of the water heater is turned on. It's also possible there could be a loose connection at the back of the switch.

We have a detailed Water Heater Usage Guide, and also a Water Heater Troubleshooting and Repair Guide if you need additional information.

Thanks, all it was, was the rocker switch was off.

Based on a parallel thread on the water heater electrical connection box having wiring connections coming apart, the "Water Heater Troubleshooting and Repair Guide" in the forum Manuals section needs to be updated. There is no mention of the electrical connections box in the guide.
