Troubleshooting electric water heating
It's the morning after our second night ever in our 21C, and I'm certain that I'm getting no heat from the electric element in the water heater.
The propane heating is working fine, and actually gets the water very hot. But I've left the electric heater on overnight each night with the gas off. I see no significant current draw on the EMS panel, and the water in the tank is cold by morning.
I've toggled the breaker for the heater several times (confirming it is on), checked the switch under the water heater cover several times (confirming it is on), and pressed the reset buttons under the water heater cover. If it wasn't a rainy day, I would get out the multimeter and look for a place to check for 115VAC on the water heater itself.
From your experience, what else should I look at?
