Hot water heater won,t light on gas.

[Del_Turner]

My hot water heater won't light on gas. I don't believe that gas is even at the ignition point. Works fine on electric. I just purchases this 2012 38 foot Sandstorm toy-hauler. It used to light just fine. I turn the switch to off at the hot water tank and turn the switch on in the trailer. I do have gas and the tank is full of water. Stove lights just fine in the kitchen any ideas?

I am going to check voltages tomorrow at the solenoids, any more ideas?

Turn off both propane tanks.
The very very slowly turn them on and try that.
You may have popped the opd valves

Had a similar issue and looked and looked found out it was just a blown fuse. Water heater worked fine on electric but nothing happened when I attempted to use gas. Check the fuses it took me a couple of tries to find it but that's all it was

I tried that and nothing. Thanks.

Fuses are good. Thanks.

Do you hear it clicking when trying to light ?

Had this happen to me last month... This could be a bad thermostat. If you open the door, yhere should be two rubber plugs on the heater.they cover the resets. If you push them simultaneously, it may reset...
