RE: Atwood water heater problem
That's easy. Your furnace had lost the magic dust that allowed :Bit to fire. By removing the orifice and blowing through it you rejuvenated the magic dust.
Yes that is a joke. But whatever it was, glad you got it working again.
I was thinking the same thing.

RE: Atwood water heater problem
I had a similar issue with the same water heater. Mine started sounding like a jet taking off with the occasional pop or hiccup. Prior to that, you could hear it turn on, but was very quiet during the heating process, then you heard it shut off. I ended up buying and installing a tune up kit and it solved the problem.

RE: Atwood water heater problem
I took everything apart and found no obstructions. I blew out the orifice while I had it off, even though it looked clear. Put it back together and I have a pretty blue, uninterrupted flame. I honestly have no idea what I did, but it’s working normally.

RE: Atwood water heater problem
Yeah, sorry for not starting with that info. Model is G6A-8E. Looks like manufactured in 04.
I don’t believe it is electrical issue. It fires right up each time. I don’t use the furnace, so can’t speak to its performance. Stove burners burn smoothly.
We did have an issue first trip in the spring, spider decided to make a web in the tube. Cleaned that out and had another trip where the heater worked fine. This just started on this trip and it acted the same for an 8 day trip. It DID heat the water just fine. The flame sounded just like it always does except for the hiccups.

Atwood water heater problem
We have an Atwood water heater. Ours runs on propane. On our last trip it had an issue that I have never seen before. It would start as usual and sounded normal, and then it would hesitate occasionally. Kind of like when you are blowing and have to take a breath. The flame looks normal, it heats just fine. Any ideas on what could be causing this?
Thanks for any and all help.

RE: AC Airflow
Really all you can do is get a less restrictive filter.
Other than that you can run without a filter and run a separate standalone fin and filter. Although you asked what you can do to keep the filter so only the first applies.
I’m not familiar with the standalone. Explain that please?

AC Airflow
I have an older Duotherm air conditioner. On our last trip a couple weeks ago I noticed lots of condensation around the panel in the ceiling. I pulled the panel and found the baffles directing the air had come loose. I taped them back up and turned the unit on to see if I had stopped the leaks. No air leakage. That looks good. I noticed the airflow out of the vents had increased greatly. This was with the panel off and no filter. I’m thinking this is great! I put a new filter in and replaced the panel. Airflow is back to not so great. I can’t believe the filter is cutting the airflow so much. Any ideas on a different way to filter and have better airflow?
