He said the water heater WAS heating up,, It also needs 12 volts in many cases for operaitonal control.
Look to the fuses, not the breakers
Possiblities.
1: Blown fuse
2: (Most likely) Broken connection.. More on that in a second.
3: Broken wire
4: Broken control panel
The water pump, if controlled by the switch and not by a "remote" relay, uses fairly heavy wires that are most likely crimp-connected to other very heavy wires, This type of connection works very well in practice and hardly ever fails.. You said the water pump is working.
Everythign else sips 12 volts so the wires on the control board (Switch panel) are much smaller, like 22ga or there abouts, These are also crimped to like 18 ga or larger wires that run about the rig to assorted places.. This does NOT work so well, I have had a few pull right out of the crimp connector.. Now, in my case, I know how to fix 'em and have the tools needed, but hey.. That is what I'm trained for (Electronics)
I would check for a loose wire or two that look like they should go together behind the panel.
NOTE: There WILL be loose wires there.. They use one harness for assorted configurations and some wires are not used, So look for a loose wire on the panel, and a wire that has a stripped end in the harness. And pray there is only one.
More than one you will need professional help (Contact the manufacturer and ask for the color codes)
While you have the panel open.... Grab ye-old Multi Meter on the voltage range (At least 15) and search for 12vdc, And ground.. On my panel it was a ground that came apart.
