What to check first
Record make/model, electric or propane mode, indicator or fault code, water level and whether other fixtures work. Never energize a tank known to be empty.
When to get help
Stop use if you smell gas or see scorching. Request appliance diagnosis before ordering a heating element or control part.
Your RV’s make, model and component instructions control. Stop use and seek qualified help for propane odor, smoke, active electrical danger, unsafe braking or other immediate hazards. This guide does not diagnose your RV or establish part compatibility.
Next step
Check the exact component manual and model number before following a model-specific procedure.
