Atwood H20 Heater wont pass water

Havent used it for about 2-months and now at new RV site it wont allow water to move.

The gas thermo flame comes on and stays. It seemed to work after I hooked it to this sites water valve after it heated water but now it does not work.

Just wont allow water to pass thru it when I move faucets to warm position. Cold water flows great.

This RV site seems to have high water pressure but not sure if that would stop the flow somehow.

Its on 2000 Minnie Winnie

My Minnie Winnie Water Heater

1. Model - G6A - 8E 6.2 Gal

2. Spec # - 2280SD

3. Ser # - 96228068688

Does this condition ring sound familier to anyone out there?

j-d & CR; I'll try that if I can get to it.

I replaced the press valve last summer.

Havta search where the inside/back of the tank is accessible.

Question search on web said 3-valves are there and I have the schematics and parts list.

Thanks for the help.

We had that happen to us. Jammed check valve.

Depending on how it's plumbed for winterization, your water heater could have a Check Valve on the hot water discharge side. That valve could have fallen apart. Since it's a Winnebago product, you should be able to look up a parts breakdown on the web and see if it uses a check valve.

This is a brass one from Camco sold as Amazon Prime "add-on item" for under $5. Notice the directional flow arrows stamped into it.
