Troubleshooting Dometic water heaters (with and without a multimeter)

These are some of the most common issues you will run into with dometic water heaters. This video will provide step by step instructions on how to diagnose dometic water heater lighting issues with ECO switches, Tstat, thermal limit fuse and burner issues. This is not a comprehensive repair video as their are many other causes of a dometic water heater not lighting. I will have a separate video on diagnosing the electric heat not working. I will also cover a few tips on diagnosing a dometic water heater without having a multimeter!

Man! this is the BEST explanation of this diagnostic process I've found on here!

This video saved my butt. After getting caught in the rain all my family wanted was a hot shower but of course the hot water heater was not working. I used this video to find the issue, a bad thermo limit fuse, and get the hot water flowing. Luckily I had a fuse on hand but I would have been scratching my head the whole time. This was the first time I had to do a repair on our coach and am glad for this resource.

The best video I’ve ever seen. A lot of people ramble on an on an on to the point that it’s not worth watching. You my friend are straight to the point with easy to understand instructions.

I just want to say. THANK YOU!!!! This was by far the easiest explained video. I now follow you. You saved me hundreds of dollars. I even learned how to use the meter. Ty. I really appreciate it.

Thank you for the video on this hot water heater. My RV was 2 months old and on its 3rd trip when the roll fuse went out. Your Video made trouble shooting it easy.

Excellent diagnostic video for the Dometic WH6-GEA water heater!

[@utid1957]

Awesome troubleshooting video. You saved me a trip to the repair shop and a lot of trouble. The last time I brought my Rv to the shop they kept it 3 months!!!

Thanks for your help we went from a completely working water heater to nothing at the next stop...tried your fuse trick and it worked was going to order the new tco but upon a good re-connection it all worked again! Thanks for the great video!!

Thank you so much! Of all the videos i watched on TH-cam to try to figure out what was wrong this was the most helpful. Got my water heater back up and running amd also now I have all the knowledge to conquer any other issues it gives me thanks again!

I found your video Saturday July 18th 2023. I had been searching for videos and troubleshooting for a whole week prior to stumbling across your channel. Thanks to your video, I found the issue and ordered a thermal fuse on Saturday the 18th. I have a meter but it wasn't working. The battery is dead. Your tip with a fuse was amazing! I ordered 6 just in case since that is a recurring issues with the new dometic hot water heater. I'm about to subscribe to your channel.

This video was great, saved me spending $350 on a control board while traveling on the road. It was just the thermal fuse. Thank you!

[@jrmoreno860]

Great video Sir. The self diagnostic tips you provided helped me resolve my issue with my water heater. 🙏

[@joesimmons1692]

Thanks for the info. Was a big help. Tested thermal fuse and had no continuity. Made a temporary jumper and the heater fired right up.. definitely buying extra thermal fuses to keep on hand.. Again thanks.

[@markworks1324]

Great video, good info delivered in an easy to digest way. Thank you for putting this together and posting it.😊

[@kennethnewbrough701]

Thank You, Excellent Video. Great job of explaining all the equipment, how it works and how to test. I have been looking for quite some time for this type of video for testing.

[@nikkol1987]

Thank you so much! I'm a travel nurse and my husband and I full time RV. We are on our way to my next assignment and got to our overnight only to find that our hot water heater wasn't working. We looked at TONS of videos. Didn't find your video until the next day, and we were able to locate the problem exactly. It was the ECO plug thing!! We were praying not to hear the beep when tested it!! Easy fix for $20 (plus we had to buy a multi meter, but we'll use it plenty I think). Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for making full time RV living a little less stressful today!

Great video! I was about to begin performing the diagnosis where you said switch inside. I looked and it was off 😂 again create video I'm a believer and a subscriber

Wow! This is super helpful. Really appreciate you taking the time to post this! Very well done. Fixed my issue. That darned thermal cutoff fuse was my issue.
