Broke, I found the mfr and begged to buy some parts. They related that it is now manufactured overseas. I asked for any solution as I could not leave this aged vet to cold showers that winter. He said, "Just a minute." Came back saying most of their company was vets, and a unit was enroute, complete, and free. $600.

Edit; $400 now. https://www.amazon.com/Suburban-Manu.../dp/B01NBTVDBC

So this was a water heater on F-22 or F-35?

I think only the UK planes and tanks get water heaters.
Fighters don't get them though. Something about spilling hot tea everywhere while doing negative Gs.

They call them kettles though.

Edit:
New info,
The US has been including a "Heater, Water & Rations" in most of it's vehicles for a while now.

Fancy digital unit, needs a control board and possibly a power supply board...700 for both on line. Not worth fixing imo...

Curious to see how this is going turn out myself...I'll let yous know.

Was the dryer a casualty of the power issues as well?

I only understand about half of what Bill lays down. I just make up the rest as I please (like we all do).
