Breaker/Fuse for water heater in Chateau 29G?

My water heater is not working on electric, and I'm doing some troubleshooting. I can't find a 110v breaker for the water heater. I don't see a breaker in the panel at the foot of the bed labeled for it, and I can't find one anywhere else. Does anyone know where the WH breaker is?

If you can make sure you are getting voltage to the water heater, with a meter. Also could it be possible you had the water heater on and no water in it, if so it would burn out your heating element. The main fuse box should have the water heater. Manually check each fuse. Also make sure none of your gfi,s are tripped. Good luck.

It's in the 120 VAC distribution panel. It may not be labeled as such, but there is one there for it. On the DC fuse side there should be a fuse labeled "Appliances" but that supplies more items than the water heater control board.

I verified that I do have power to the WH. Just wondering how to check a breaker if I need to, or want to just shut off power to the WH.

The element seems okay based on measuring the resistance. I am going to replace the relay and see if that fixes the problem The new relay is supposed to come tomorrow from Amazon.

"Power to the WH"?
12 VDC or 120 VAC - It takes both.
When you know you have 120 VAC to the WH:
Open all your breakers, one at a time, until the 120 VAC goes away.
Now you know which breaker supplies the 120 VAC to the WH. Do your future self a favor and label it.
