It combines an AC thermostat (232306) and a DC thermostat (232282) with adapter cables, switches and wire nuts so you can swap out faulty controllers that cause constant cycling, imprecise temperatures, or unsafe overheating. The components are built for the vibration, moisture, and heat common in mobile RV environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich Suburban water heater models does this kit work with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit was designed to be compatible with a broad range of Suburban SW-series water heaters. It lists direct replacements for part numbers 232306, 233534, 525007 and 232282 and supports numerous SW6, SW10, SW12 and SW16 variants.
