Surburban HWS

Hi G.T
Could be just the little elec switch. Reasonably easy to replace, a bit hard if you're all fingers. Just a thought any way.

Hi G.T
Generally the on off switch is located inside the unit by accessing from the outside ?

I had a similar problem over Xmas, the HWS service was heating fine on gas, but would only get luke warm on electricity.
I tried the 2 reset buttons a number of times, but didn't seem to work. In the end, I ended up prizing off the rubber covers that go over the reset buttons, gave the buttons another press, heard a click and then could hear the HWS start bubbling away heating on electric.
I assume the rubber on the buttons was somehow restricting the movement.

Brian 01. Yes you are right! I found a power point in the cupboard with a plug in it, the cupboard is over the H.W.S. The plug was not fully pushed in and the switch was not turned on. My guess that the switch was turned off by something loose in the cupboard when we were travelling, also even if the switch was on, the loose plug in the power point may have caused the same problem. We have been travelling for 6 months now and did not realise that there was a power point there. The wife commandeered the cupboard ( and the one above it ) when we got the van so I was none the wiser that the plug existed! We now have electric hot water, many thanks for your input. Regards G.T.
