Atwood water heater

You've heard it, smoking sooty flames from the water heater exhaust. Even burned wires! Well the round brush cleaned out the funnel web from a spider and now clean flames, bluish yellow, perfect. I just need the inline fuse. Watch those stinkin' webs.
  • Now would be a good time to fish a wire thru combustion chamber and out exhaust....then tie a rag to wire and pull it back thru.

    Brush only gets so far in 'U' tube...whether Suburban or Atwood
  • Yep, it's that time of year, everybody will be firing up those water heaters, furnaces, and refridgerators. All the places those little squatters love to set up house keeping. There are a few of them who also like the range hood.

    I've had mud daubers build their home in the fan motor of my range hood. When I turned it on, nothing but a humming sound and smell of hot wiring. All was well, after some cleaning.
