Hi, Just come back from weekend camp . On arrival filled water system turn on heater, applied pump , water every where.

I have diagnosed that the problem is at the front end of the heater tank were all the electric connections are. I had no tools at the time so drained the water system and just used site supplies.

What will I find when I do remove the cover over the electrics (some form of seal I hope) has anybody been here and repaired care to comment on procedure and how easy to carry out?

Thank you Wyn for suggesting preloved!

I had a problem with my Cascade water heater not firing up on gas. I was apprehensive as in the 2yrs we've had the van have only used electric to heat water, and the gas for cooking

Gary on preloved suggested to someone with the same problem it could be dampness in burner and electrics, and described how to get access and dismantle.

I took off the outer cowl, the plate covering the burner and watched the flame before it cut-off. It was messy. I wire brushed the burner holes, and with my heat gun dried out the burner and gently warmed the electrics. No dismantling!

I left it a while to warm through, tried firing it up. The green light stayed on and the burner had even flame jets. Just a few minutes and water was getting warm.
