Title: Aqua Hot works on diesel but no electric
Post by: John Hennessey on September 25, 2016, 02:35:40 AM

The electric side of the Aqua Hot stopped working yesterday. Any ideas as to what could be the cause?

John,
What coach do you have (year and model) and are there any error lights lit on the AH control panel?

I had a problem with the electric side on mine last summer. It turned out to be the breaker in the electric panel box on the aquahot. The wires were burnt and the breaker melted. I got a new modified breaker  and rewired it and now its fine.

We have a 2003 Marquis. Haven't looked at the control box.

On 100 series the problem was the aqua stats.  I lost both the electric and diesel high limit switches within a month of each other but an easy fix.

I lost electric to my hydronic heating (mine is the Oasis Combi) and my symptom was that I was getting only about 60Volts on the hot wire.  The problem turned out to be a snap connector which connected the breaker circuit to the 3 wires running forward to the heater.  I had to remove the breaker box to access the space behind it where I unsnapped that connector and attempted to bend the blade on the black circuit then snapped it together again and then I had the proper AC voltage on the circuit.

I determined it was the snap connector by connecting white to ground at the heater then measure resistance at the breaker box and after the snap connector, then did black to ground connected at the heater, tested again, then black to white, and determined that black yielded an open connection from the breaker box but it was fine from the other side of the snap connector.  Thus the break was in the snap connector.

      Hi John, I tried to download the AHE-100 repair manual in this reply but the file is too big, so I sent you an e-mail. If you want it, get back to me. Regards, Fred
