[B and C]

Good afternoon,

Just returned from storage and noticed the Aquahot was reading LO on the inside display.  It is switched on electric and I am wondering what I should look for when checking?  Only have 30 amp service.

Thanks,

The big heating element in your AH is 240V.  The 30A shore power is 120V, it may come up to temp if the 120V 1600W element is working and so connected electrically.  Your diesel should bring the temp up if working correctly.

From ambient to full temp on the 120 vac element is 2 to 3 hours. The diesel burner will heat it up in 15 to 20 minutes max. Once the temp is high enough, the meter will read in degrees.
