Problem # 2 Hot Water Heater
I have an Atwood G6A-Seven hot water heater in my 2002 Jayco Hybrid. It lights very easy but the burner only stays on for 2 or 3 minutes before going out. Sometimes when I turn it from "pilot" to "on"...
Forum Discussion
Here are some of the things Atwood suggest as possible cause of burner not remaining on and solutions:
Improper gas pressure -- Set inlet pressure to a minimum of 11? W.C.
with two or more appliances running
Improper air adjustment -- Adjust main burner air shutter approximately 1/4 open
Partial blockage of main burner -- Remove blockage
Partial blockage of main burner orifice -- Clean or replace orifice
Flame spreader misaligned--Re-align spreader or replace main burner
Blockage in “U” tube --Remove blockage
Poor gas supply -- Replace gas supply
Exhaust grille blocked --Remove blockage
Improper main burner alignment --Re-align main burner, main burner
orifice holder and gas valve
