Yes. About 8pm we were watching tv when the smell began, took a few minutes to track down the source of the smell. When I opened the cabinet doors under the sink the smell was very intense and I figured it had to be the water heater. I immediately shut off the power, it was on AC at the time, opened the door, and turned on the vent fans to get rid of the smell. There was no smoke but a close inspection with a flashlight showed the black plastic box on the back of the water heater was partially melted so I knew this was the source. It was still early in the evening so I went ahead and made the repair. Also found out the breakers were not labeled correctly, got my eyeballs lit up while making the repair. My fault for not checking power with a meter, I know better but was in a hurry which always guarantees a surprise!!!
Again, glad we were awake and in the coach when the event occurred, could have been disastrous otherwise.
