Aqua Hot burner switch

New to the RV world. Have a 2001 Monaco Dynasty 10 year anniversary edition. Still trying to figure out everything. Can anyone tell me where the Diesel Burner control switch is. My aquahot switch is by kitchen sink.
Thanks

Just a WAG..check your main breaker box, should have one possibly two breakers(Main & possibly one for the electric element) for the AH.
Our AH (mdl EXE-100-02s) has a rocker switch for diesel and another for electric @ the galley sink with the main breakers at the foot of our bed, and on the thermostat you have to pick the zone (1 or 2) then set to furnace (or some may say heat or gas),(DO NOT confuse with heat pump, that is in the A/C circuits)
There also may be heat only thermostats in the bathroom and in the basement water control bay.

Which model of AH do you have?

One thing that I suggest is ...IF you do not know for sure when the AH was last serviced..find a AH tec and have it serviced...and STAY AND WATCH Him/Her..ask a lot of questions as well..

AND..Pls list all your info on your signature line,so we know all the pertinent info on your coach & where you call home..
Happy Trails

As Saddlesore said your t-stats control aquahot temp, flip on switch by sink, switch should light up indicating power on, from there switch your t-stats to furnace, set desired temp, and zone, you should be good to go. There is a good description on how to operate Aqua Hot in your Monaco manual.

With a name like lonestarpyro ya gotta be from here in Tx

Your control panel probably looks like this



As for as I know this is the only switches , the diesel on the left and elect in
the center .
Like others have said there are breakers , relays and thermostats .

Tell us about it , has it worked previously , does it do anything ?

You may not know but on your model ( I think ) the diesel will not come on
if the elect can keep the temp up , so in that case you might try turning
the elect off and then see if the burner comes on after it's had time to
cool down .

To learn about AquaHot go to Roger Berke's site , lots of material there .

My AquaHot 600D will always start the burner when I first start it, even if I turn on both elements at rhe same time. Once up to temp the burner never comes on if the elements can keep up, but even so the burner runs quite often depending on the temps.

Your diesel control switch by the sink....IS....your Ah switch.
Caution.....if it does not light up, it does not mean your AH is
faulty....it could be a burned out bulb in the switch.

You either have 2 or 3 switches.
If you have 2.....one is for the diesel burner and the other is for electric.
When plugged in to shore power, leave both switches "ON".

If you have 3.... one is for diesel burner, one for electric, and one for
engine preheat. Only use preheat when temp is cold and you want to
start your engine. Use preheat at least one to two hours before firing
engine. Once engine is started, turn preheat off.

Diesel burner will only run if you have the switch turned on. If you have only the electric element on, and you unhook shore power, your coach turns cold !

From what I understand on the newer AquaHots the elect and diesel are controlled
by one thermostat that tells them when to come on .
The earlier models have 2 thermostats one for elect and one for diesel
The elect comes on first and if it can't keep up with demand then the diesel fires up
you could easily think some thing was wrong with the diesel burner
I'm not at all sure when they changed but I'm pretty sure that
lonestarpyro's coach and my 03 coach have the older set up .

Short answer: Yes. If your unit is operating correctly, and the "diesel switch" is on, the diesel burner will always come on when needed. Other than the 120 volt heaters that activate when you are plugged into shore power, the whole system is 12 volt based. It does not need any connection to 120 volts.

Just a thought, if your inverter is on that could drain your batteries if unplugged from shore power and on electric heat.
