Mitch installed a new water pump the other day, and subsequently we do not have any hot water, either on electric or on LP. Is the timing a coincidence, or is it possible he knocked something out or made something loose? What should we be looking for to resolve this? Thanks!

Check your shut off valve positions first, which you have probably already done. Our hot water heater has a small switch on/off switch on it, check for one of those. Check fuses and breakers.

Cheryl,
In addition to each valve on the water manifold that distributes the water lines to the different areas, also check the hot water bypass valve and see if it was turned off. If you are getting cold water out of all of the faucets, including the hot water faucets, then I really suspect the hot water bypass valve.
The picture below is of our 2010 Mobile Suites. Look to the right of the water filter housing and you will see a "T" with a red handled valve. In the picture, the valve handle is down, which is the non-bypass setting on our unit. At any rate, go to the valve and turn it opposite of what it is when you see it. Then check your hot water faucets. I learned this the hard way myself.

Yup I have turned my bi pass valve more than once doing things under there then having no hot water. Then the light comes on and I remember to turn the valve.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! You were correct - it was just a valve in the wrong position. Phew!
