Water pump won't pump water.

To make sure water hater is full you can also open water heater relief valve to make sure tank is full.

PS: I did say to look underneath bed.....

That worked! was not letting the hot water run long enough to empty out all of the air. now the pump shuts off and only goes on when I call for a water hot or cold.
Fonzie, you help me out with my weight distributing hitch problem and now with this thank you. I owe you a big beer around a campfire! and also I want to thank the other posters for their help also really do appreciate it.

Glad it's all working for you.....

Good you found them and everything is working. Remember to open the low point drains and flush them as well. There is antifreeze in them as well, otherwise mixing with some chlorinated water the water will stink really bad.

With the HW tank is located at the front maybe the factory did not install the necessary piping to bypass it or they have run the piping to some other part or panel of the trailer. You can still fill the tank most of the way full by manual procedure--Open the HOT Water faucets so as to relieve the back pressure on tank and remove the pressure valve near the top part of tank (It's the little Do Hicky with a leaver attached) and use a water hose to fill most of the tank. Turn on switch for your pump and water should flow from the removed pressure valve hole within a short time period. Stop pump and reinstall the pressure valve with pipe seal on the threads. Close faucets and lines should pressurize with use of pump when started again.

Thanks for the reply, I found the access panel with the help of Fonzie, previous page. All is working as should be!

Also be sure the hot water heater plug is in tightly. If wh plug is not in and bypass is to summer position the pressure to stop the pump will not build up.

Where is the WH plug located at, for future reference?

[CityMan]

If by pass valve is in correct position make sure WH plug is in the unit and tight.

When you say "WH plug", are you referring to the bolt/ annode rod?

[RSchleder]

I didn't make the post, however, I'm sure your correct. Plug = water heater anode.

Thank you, that is the only thing I think of as a plug.

[SkipnTerri]

That's correct, there's nothing else.

It looks like you have the different valves figured out so try this. I had this problem once. The fresh water tank pipe that feed the pump probably has an air bubble in it. fill the fresh water tank and then put the hose in the fill port and put something around the hose to keep water from flowing back. What you are attempting is to pup pressure on the fresh water tank to force the air bubble out. Any excess water will come out of the vent pipe so look out so you don't get hit with that water. It does not take much to force the bubble out. If this does not work, make sure there is a path for water between the tank and pump. Good luck

Thanks for the tip! Will keep it in mind if this happens again. Have a nice weekend!
