Ok, did some troubleshooting. Here is what I have so far....
1. Atwood 6ga water heater
2. Strong blue flame under 12V - I'm assuming this is operating under propane?
3. Electrode engulfed in flame as it should be
4. Will NOT ignite when I use 120V switch.
5. Found that my pressure relief valve has a drip when it water heater is hot. I even jiggled the relief valve and let a little water out and it still leaks. It had this small leak before as well.
Questions:
How can I diagnose and repair the 120V issue?
How to replace the pressure relief valve. Is it a simple screw off and screw on a new one? Plumber's putty or teflon tape needed?
Thanks!
