Need help identifying water heater model.
I have a 1985 Lance camper. Last year, the igniter stopped "ticking" when it was switched on, but I could still light it with a BBQ lighter and the burner would kick on and off as needed.
This year, I can get the pilot to light and it will remain lit with the valve in the "PILOT" position. As soon as I move the valve to "ON", the flame goes out. I have decided to replace the igniter and burner assembly (very corroded), but I can't identify the make and model to find parts.
The labels are hard to read, but the model is identified as "F6-XRI" and the label says, "American Appliance MFG. Company". The only other legible number is in the upper left hand corner of the label and it says "6002018". I have attached a photo of the unit.
Photo sharing through Google Docs doesn't seem to work on here. I'm moving them to photobucket now. In the meantime, here are links:
