Water should have been HOT......heats to 140*F
NO the RED FAULT Light should NOT come on unless a 'fault condition' occurs
*Propane Flame FAILS to light and PROVE it lit........3 attempts then circuit board will go into 'LOCK-OUT' and trigger the FAULT Light
Reset by turning GAS On/Off Switch ----OFF/wait 30 seconds/turn back ON
Circuit board will make 3 attempts again to light/prove main flame
*ECO Trips (Energy Cut Out---HI Temp T-stat).
Opens at 180*F to shut down ALL heating (electric and/or propane) if Normal T_stat fails to open
Anytime ECO Opens it triggers FAULT Light.
ECO will self-reset when water temp drops below 150*F but you have to reset Fault Light ---turn off/wait/turn on
If ECO operates.....replace Normal t-stat cause it is NOT controlling normal heat cycles
You can use just electric to heat when you have 120V AC----slowest recovery time (6 gal/hr from initial fill with cold water)
You can use just propane to heat anytime....little faster recovery time (13 gal/hr from initial fill with cold water)
you can use electric/propane together....fastest recovery time (~18-20 gal/hr from initial fill with cold water)
Might want to do a bit of 'preventative maintenance' on that water heater
Replace that rusted up 'burner tube'
While you have it off----unscrew main gas orifice on gas valve ---soak it in alcohol then let it air dry (no poking anything thru orifice or high pressure air....damage it)
Then go thru all wire terminal/spade connectors and clean/tighten so they have good contacts
Pull circuit board connectors.........clean board contacts with pencil eraser
And that T&P Relief Valve.....with water supply turned ON---Cold----Pop Valve Open via Lever and flush valve disc/seat then let valve snap close
Above will go along way to keeping your water heater functioning properly
Exact Model Number will be on that sticker on side frame next to burner area
What RV do you have???
