Outside water heater rocker switch

Hello,
Im fairly new to the RV life, recently my water heater died, turns out it was just the switch outside that was no good, the plumber removed the switch, and was ordering a new one, but I can’t get ahold of him now, so im gonna fix it myself, but he took the old switch, so I don’t know the voltage etc needed, does any know will any rocker switch work on this, the two Leeds are just sitting there, but I don’t want to put in the wrong one and cause an issue or fire or anything.
Any suggestions?

I’d google your make and model hot water heater, find the part number in the parts diagram and go to Amazon search on that part number and see if they have it. I had to order a heating element for mine, did the same and had it in 2 days.
That was also the case when I had to order a control board for my RV fridge.

What you need is a Mini Rocker Switch, SPST, On/Off. Measure the mounting hole, it should be about ½" wide and 1" long (.470" x 1.026). Find one that fits that size mounting hole and is rated for 15 amps or greater at 125 volts and it will work.

Here's one that would work, but I'm sure you can find others. Carling Rocker Switch
