The AC side of the heating unit is not working. I checked and there seems to be power going to the water heater. I am wondering if there is any kind of re-set on the heater or could it be the heating element..It is the origional heater on a 90 Cat. 42 (3 cabin). Has anyone had similar problems...or tried to replace or repair the heating element. I am only guessing, that the element may be the problem...Thanks... SV Chase ..Catalina Mark 1 tri cabin John

The heater should work fine. The cause is running the heater dry which overheats the element causing the overtemp sensor to trip.

I am about to clean the connection area and re-attach. Here's hoping that this is the only problem....Thanks John Black Cat 42 #208 Three cabin Semiahmoo WA
