No hot water in an RV is an uncomfortable problem that gets worse the longer you're at a campsite. Fortunately, most RV water heater failures are straightforward to diagnose and fix on-site. The systematic approach - test gas mode, test electric mode, compare results - tells us exactly where to focus.

A water heater that fails on gas only (pilot won't stay lit or DSI spark fails) but works on electric is a gas system problem. A heater that fails on electric only but works on gas is an element or thermostat issue. A heater that fails on both modes usually indicates a cooling unit issue - in this case, the cooling unit, not the heating source.

Diagnostic Approach for No Hot Water

Fastest Common Fixes

Thermocouple replacement is the fastest, cheapest water heater fix in our toolkit - 45 minutes and typically $95 to $145. The thermocouple is a safety device that proves the gas flame is present and allows the gas valve to stay open. They fail after years of thermal cycling and are one of the most common RV water heater repairs. We carry Suburban and Atwood compatible thermocouples for same-day repair.

    FAQ

    Common Questions

    The most common sudden failures are: a tripped thermal cutout (reset button on the water heater - push it and try again), a failed thermocouple after years of use, or a tripped breaker for the electric element. Check these in order before calling - one of them resolves 60 percent of same-day service calls.

    A 6-gallon Suburban or Atwood water heater takes about 20 to 30 minutes on gas or 40 to 60 minutes on electric to heat from cold. If it's taking much longer than this, the element or burner is working at reduced efficiency.

    Bypass mode routes cold water past the heater tank, so no - there's no hot water in bypass mode. Bypass is only used for winterization. Make sure the bypass valves are in the normal position if you've recently de-winterized.

    The thermal cutout is a safety device that shuts off the water heater if it overheats. Repeated tripping means something is causing overheating: too much sediment in the tank (scales up from hard water), a failing thermostat sticking in the open position, or inadequate water flow in the system.
