Access plate 3 screws on the bottom 3 screws on top..I think ! There is so much undercoat I can't find them,
I got the bottom 3 out, plus a 4th screw that was coming thru from the inside out and was holding the access plate locked in place, I had to use pliers to loosen it then a hammer to knock it back into the enclosure, but I still need to get the top 3 screws out, to remove the plate, it can't even be pried up enough to.peek inside because of the LP tubing that is in the way,
This has become a real PITA,
IF this drags out past Sunday , I'm going to need a Yankee alternative, like plumbing a portable propane camping shower inside, or an electric hot water unit, I have never worked on one that was such a pain to access and service, the Onan starter was easier to replace, than getting access to the water lines on this water heater , I ran new fuel line and external fuel pump on this beast for the 460", including new power wires for the pump, and it was less head ache than this,
Very Frustrated tired and Grumpy, my repair thread is turning into a Rant Thread, Having the WH right under the shower .. Was great before this malfunction,
I'm starting to feel like this guy
