Check propane levels, keep purging line of air, several attempts may be needed. Check exhaust for debris (mud dauber nest clogging). The quick connect will not help you. My refrigerator works fine on propane but not on electric! (new camper!)

Could be but not likely, sound like the flame sensor is not working. If it lights and goes out that would probably be on the flame sensing side. Make sure that you have no air in the propane line....Rick

It might be the tank valve not opening properly. If you shut off both tanks and release any pressure in the lines and then open a tank valve really, I mean really slow it might help. I think the tank valve thinks there is a major leak and shuts off.

mine ran fine on propane for two weeks in a test environment, home before taking on trip. I did not see any problems with it on propane. might check on propane pressure, try another regulator.

I am pretty sure that they make a propane version of this water heater. I know that I love this new tankless heater that I have. It came set up for natural gas which is what my house runs off of. Make sure that whatever heater that you buy is set up for propane or you will end up paying more money out to have someone convert it from natural gas to propane.

This heater will trip any GFI on the same circuit if it is overloaded or if the plug or cord is being affected by water somehow. Since it's probably outside you need to seal the plug/receptacle from moisture getting in.

When we had a similar problem, it turned out that one of the two heating elements was corroded through. (We have well water.) We had both elements replaced, and so far so good. This happened after we'd had the water heater for several years. If yours is fairly new, it could be a lemon. Hope you can get the problem fixed.

My husband thinks it could possibly be a dirty orifice or low gas pressure. Ours works fine and we have not had any problems so far!

it may be getting air in the have you tried spraying the line with soapy water like a Dawn type detergent and water and if it bubbles then you know that air in the line and possibly a leak spray water where heater hooks up at in at the propane tank hookups.. I had this happen to me it was my regulator getting air... I hope this help..

Not 100% sure but I had the same thing and assumed it was either the debris left over from the original rod exterior, which was completely rotted away, the only thing left was a thin copper rod, or sediment from the water itself that built up over the years. I suggest not only draining the water heater but also flushing it. Leaving the power removed from the water heater and a hose attached to the bottom of water heater running to a good drainage area, turn the water source back on and run it until all of that sediment is flushed from your water heater. Hope this helps

I put my on the base of a turkey fryer and crank up the propane. Just remember that with more heat, water evaporates quickly. Hope this helps!

If you check on line you will find other people have complained of the same thing. That after a while the OEM regulator inhibits high gas flow rates. Ours got to the point of not working at all. After purchasing this unit which comes complete with everything the problem was immediately resolved and the BBQ is back to working perfectly.

I have not had a problem with mine but definitely call the company and explain to them what has happened. Be firm but not rude in letting them know that you are not satisfied with the performance of the heater. I am sure they will do something to rectify the problem. Good luck.

I don't believe the GPM is sufficient enough for the water heater to turn on! check the manufacturers minimum requirements for GPM (gallons per minutes)

Do you have any propane units at all that your using now?It's a great heater I would google it too...and see

I can't answer your question. I believe you would need to have a professional come in and look at the unit. If you are not getting hot water, it sounds like either no power to the heating elements or the elements have gone bad. In either event, a professional could trouble shoot the unit and tell you.

Sounds like a faulty product. Pretty hard to mess up the (simple) install. Mine works fine (house hot water recirc pump)

I wish I could help you but I don't know. All I can tell L you is you have to replumb the filter system and it uses a lot of propane.

Most obvious thing: check the circuit breaker. It is probably not the same one that runs the pump. If you are not familiar with electrical troubleshooting, get professional help. Otherwise, make sure that the heater is getting electricity. If not, get professional help. Otherwise, shut the power off and check for continuity of each component. I'd start with the heating elements. Use your phone and take a picture of the wires on the elements. Remove the wires from the elements and test with an ohmmeter (if available). Each should read about 10 ohms. If either element is open, it will need to be replaced. Replace the wires. Next check the thermostat. Take a picture and remove the wires. Assuming the water temperature is low, the thermostat should be closed and your ohmmeter reading near zero. If it's open, it will need to be replaced. Replace the wires. Next, check the high temperature cut off. Take a picture and remove the wires. Like the thermostat, it should be closed. If it's open, it will need to be replaced. Replace the wires. If it still doesn't work, get professional help. Hope this helps, ..j
