    Well, I replaced the rocker switch and no luck. Still no hot water. Tried called suburban, but of course they are closed for the holidays. Guess I'll try again next week. Would really like to get it fixed so I'm not using all my propane heating the water in the cold weather.

    Electric hot water issue-update

    Yes all switches are in there proper positions. I'll try testing the element with electricity on. But why would a brand new element not work? The tank was full before I turned everything on and the reading is fine with the electricity off.
