I think that you have a gen ll. This would have a rotary dial for control. Mine is found in the medicine cupboard near the shower in my 390fl. If it is a gen l, I think it is only a switch and I don't know where they located those.

Best bet is to call Gerard in the morning. They are on the left coast so they open at 10 i believe. You might have a bad sensor. Assuming you have the dial set.

I have a 2013 390RB and I believe I have a Gen 1 as well (at least that's the literature I have that came with the coach).

I think your mode switch is right above your slide switches. Should be "auto" and "low".

The switch on my 322RK is in the kitchen above the cabinet doors below the sink. It is labeled low and auto.

I have a 2012 390Bh60 and fought with this exact issue until last summer.
The solution is as follows.
The unit is currently wired for low/auto. The auto switch is faulty .... as was the case with many of us.
Once you bye pass the auto switch the the unit with be high/low.
If you open up the outside access door to your water heater and look at the upper left of the back wall ... you will see the auto switch with a wire coming in and going out. If I remember correctly the switch is about the size of a quarter with two blade connectors.
If you remove both wire from the switch and connect them.together, you problem will be solved.
I also stopped using the small (low flow) barrel type pressure regulator and installed a high flow watt regulator that I purchased at Lowe's.
