Spark Good, No Flame (Suburban Water Heater)
Greetings:
I've been enjoying my 1996 Sierra by Cobra TT thanks to the help of the forum. Recently, a new problem developed & I wanted to get some assistance.
My water heater as suddenly stopped heating water as there is no flame. I've turned the switch off overnight, turned it back on, and can hear the spark plus the "thud" sound of requesting LP (or at least that's what I assume the sound is) but no flame.
I waited until the evening & could see the spark, but again, no flame. My tanks are full. I turned 'em off and back on to ensure pressure. The stove works great and the tanks are full based on the pick 'em up & swish test.
The spark is strong. I took off the connectors to clean them thinking there was a problem there. No fix. The high limit control is exposed. I'm not sure what to do with this part. I took off the small, grey plastic part in the below picture & re-seated the part but still no luck.
I can only think of the following things that are different from the past several months of great use out of the water heater.
First, the temps here in Las Vegas have reached 100+ during the day. While I'm not in the TT during the day, I do leave the water heater on all day while I'm out.
Second, I replaced the anode rod about 2 weeks ago. The water heater was working just fine after the anode rod replacement though so I don't think the problem is related.
I suspect something is going on with that "high limit control" area but I haven't been able to find out much in my research on what to do next. I have done general MX/repairs on the TT, so hopefully I'm capable of getting the water heater fixed -- or it's time to take the TT to Camping World to get a new one installed!
Thanks for any further troubleshooting recommendations y'all have!
Cheers.
