[A/S] Water heater Problem
Our Atwood water heater has an automatic ignition with the switch located in
the bathroom. A couple of nights ago my wife turned it on and all seemed to
go OK. After a few minutes when she checked the water it was cold and the
light was on at the water heater switch. She turned it on again and it would
not ignite. I read my water heater book and didn't get any great ideas. The
next morning I turned on the switch and the water heater lit but it only ran
for a very few minutes and shut off. When the service man looked at it he
made a few checks, mainly to verify that we had voltage to the water heater,
and then announced that we needed a new board. He installed the new Atwood
board for $137.80 and we are now back in business.
Another side benefit of Port O'Call is that we get good repair service at a
fair price and the temperature didn't get below 30F Thursday night. Come on
down.
