Looking for assistance again and ended up here- but referenced is my accidental fix from a few years ago on our Atwood G6A-7P 6 GAL water heater. Hmm
After cleaned it ran flawlessly for 5 years- however started few weeks ago again with the perpetual but slower click click click after pilot lit instead of stopping (Clicking). Resorted to lighting then turn the switch off. Works great for lighting-miss the relight though.
So spent a few hours yesterday thinking I could repeat previous 'fix' ...Cleaning the electrode-connections etc., unsuccessfully. Tried everything twice with no luck. Tried another electrode, direct ground to pilot tube- nada. Resigned myself to replace only to find parts are no longer available?
After some searching gave up. Since ignitor/relighter is independent of actual water heater going to use a Suburban universal ignitor/relighter. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007HRWQTC/
though on B/O so using https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003G9J5CQ.
Few dollars more but can read label-matches mine 12v 0.1 amp.
About half the cost of equivalent Atwood part. Though the (new) Atwood has included ground probe so not relying on sheet metal connection its also twice the cost, still require some mod to fit.
But just curious if anyone came up with stock/replacement parts source. I found odd not even references for substitutes of stock part numbers.
