"Lazy" Yellow Flame Atwood Water Heater
I have an Atwood Gas/Electric water heater model number GC6AA-10E.
I was working on getting the trailer ready to go camping and tried lighting the water heater. The first time I tried lighting it, the DSI FLT indicator light came on.
I shut it off and tried again and it sounded like it only tried once to light but I didn't hear the normal sound of it running.
I went outside to check it and there was a "lazy" yellow flame and black smoke coming out of the vent.
I tried once more turning it on and off and it lit again but was a "lazy" yellow flame again.
The stove works fine on gas and so does the fridge, it appears to be a problem with the water heater and not the gas supply.
We're planning on going camping on Monday, is this fixable before then? If not can I use the water heater on electric? I didn't try it today to see if it would heat on electric.
Thanks for your help!
