10E in model number means it uses the same DC Power Source, Same set of t-stats and same circuit board
DC Relay triggers 120V AC to element which is fed from a AC Circuit Breaker
Should have a Dual On/Off Switch ....
One switch for electric element function
One switch for propane function
One Main DC Power comes from a FUSED DC SOURCE to the dual switches.
First to one of the on/off and then jumpered to the other on/off switch
(If RV MFG didn't use Atwood OEM Dual Switches then RV MFG could have wired it 'their' way.)
From the on/off switches each heating function uses separate wires to the circuit board.........but use same circuits for thermal fuse/T-stat (Brown wires) then ECO (Red wires)
Circuit board then splits heating control between electric, propane OR both at same time (both on/off switches ON)
When turning electric ON.........propane also fires up (switch still off)?
Then switches are shorting across OR shorting across at upper pin connector on circuit board (WHITE Wire/Electric---ORANGE Wire/Propane)
As for normal temps...whether using electric or propane
T-stat (normal temp control t-stat) OPENS when water temp reaches 140*F ----CLOSES so heating can resume when water temp reaches >110*F
ECO (Energy Cut Off/HI Temp t-stat) OPENS at 180*F to shut ALL heating down (Safety feature) Will reset when temp >150*F
*ECO Opens....RED Fault Light on OEM Dual Switch Panel. Heating 'locked out' have to turn switch(es) OFF wait 30 seconds turn ON for continue heating cycles
**ECO Opens.......then T-stat (normal temp) FAILED---loose/not tight to tank or bad
Thermal Fuse (clear tubing---Brown wire to t-stat) is a one shot safety device. BLOWS if senses 190*F ----blow back for propane flame coming out of combustion chamber (blocked/obstructed combustion/exhaust ---mud dabbers/nest etc)
If blown have to buy new and replace it
Dual On/Off Switches (or TWO separate switches)......wiring
