Hot water tank

[Marnis]

Hi all,
I have a 2018 Ranger 31CB. Recently when I turn on the hot water ac breaker on to turn on the hot water, the breaker light shows green and after about an hour there is no hot water at all. When I check the breaker, it is still on and green. I flip the breaker off and then back on and within 30 minutes I am getting hot water. If I leave the breaker on, I will continue to get hot water for as long as the breaker is on. It seems as if I have to turn the breaker on and then off and then on again to get hot water. In every case the breaker always shows green when turned on. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Sonny

The electric element in your tank is shot. They are the same as an RV. Shut off breaker, drain tank, disconnect wires to element, use large socket (1 - 1/8 ?) and removed element. Screw in new one and reconnect wires. Fill tank while leaving a hot tap open to vent air. Once the tank is full turn the breaker back on.

Common reason for electric water tank elements to fail is turning them on when the tank is empty. No water on the element and they burn up.

Good Luck, Leon
