During my last camping trip over the 4 July holiday we were at Jetty Park campground at Port Canaveral, Fl. We had full hookups with 50 Amp power so we used the electric heating element on the Aqua Hot to make hot water. After 2 or 3 days the water got cold. So I started trouble shooting and this is what I found.

The post meleted off of the "Thermostat, VAC High-Limit, 230°F, White Dot, AH"
Part number: ELE-254-010 , Item # 99 in the diagram below.
Cost was about $33.00
I really do not know what caused the problem, but I have 2 guesses.
1. The part failed due to age and overheated.
2. The campground had very high voltage all weekend, usally from 124 to 127 Volts. I do not know if that contributed to the failure.
There is a real nice web site now for Aqua Hot that I ordered a repaclement part from. The site has a large selection of manuals and I was able to download all the information I needed to find the problem and get the right part number.
