Hi all,
My name is Richard and I’m a new owner of a 2005 Magna. I’ve been spending the last two days learning the systems and troubleshooting the things I find not working. One of them being the 10 gallon auxiliary electric water heater in the bed room. When I turn on the circuit breaker I get no power at the heater. I feel like there might be a switch somewhere but yet to find. I would appreciate any direction.
Thank you in advance.

Congrats Rich. I picked up a 2005 magna last year. Unreal coach. Still going through it and learning.

Assuming you have an aqua hot ?

Thank you!
Yes a new Aqua Hot was installed 2014. Any idea how to turn on this auxiliary Atwood Electric water heater?

I have a switch on the side of the heater in addition to the circuit breaker.

I believe I should have a switch elsewhere since I have no power in the wiring to the water heater.

Mine is in the overhead compartment near the door. Along with tank level displays, battery monitor etc.

Sorry, I thought you were only talking about the electric side. In addition to my previous post, we have a switch above the door in that panel. The switch above the door operates the gas side and the circuit breaker and switch that in on the heater works the electric side. There is a cut off sensor for both gas and electric. I changed all thermostat and sensor on both gas and electric in addition to other serviceable parts. That made my whole system work.
