FAQs

How do you reset a Suburban hot water heater? ›

The left-hand button is the electric circuit reset and the right- hand is the LP reset. If both power switches are ON, but the electric element is not heating the water, press both reset buttons on the back of the water heater.

What is the code E3 on a Suburban hot water heater? ›

An E3 Error indicates that the water heater has overheated, meaning it reached very high temperatures and shut itself down so as not to cause damage or harm.

What does E3 and F5 error code? ›

The F5 E3 alert indicates there is issue with the lid lock. Do not force the lid open, as permanent damage could occur. Remove any objects from the lid and clear any obstructions. Touch POWER to exit cycle, then touch POWER again to release lid.

How do I fix an E3 error on my heater? ›

You need to check and make sure that there is no airflow restrictions. If the heater has been used for a while it could be plugged up inside where the fan moves air through the heating element. If you have access to an air compressor or another source of compressed air try blowing out the heater.

What does E3 mean on an electric heater? ›

If the fireplace insert is registering an E3 code, it simply means that the heater is not working. An E3 code may appear on both new and used units and will either be due to the safety features triggering or the fan.

How do I restart a hot water heater? ›

Somewhere on your electric water heater, you'll find a reset button. It's usually red and often located near the thermostat. It may also be hidden behind a removable metal panel on the unit—and then behind some insulation. Once you find the button, push and release it.

How do I know if my water heater reset? ›

For many homeowners, a cold shower is the first signal that their reset button has tripped (cutting the power to their water heater's heating elements).
