I have a jayco 195rb with atwood g6a7 gas only water heater.
Atwood hot water heater leaking.
Closing in on the vicinity will allow the contractor to narrow down the source of the water and confirm if it is an actual leak or not.
Had to replace it this year with an 900 00 atwood e4 water heater and ever time the water heats up the valve leaks.
Shut off the water supply to the water heater also shut off the electrical power if you have an electric water heater.
If you intend to do it yourself these are the basic steps to do so.
If age and deterioration is the cause of your leak you will need to call a professional plumber to replace your water heater.
If a leak on your water heater is suspected after doing all the steps above the power and water valve must be switched off.
As discussed above when sediment builds up in the bottom of a water tank for years and years it will eventually corrode through the bottom of the tank and begin to leak.
You can see the corrosion from minerals in our water it s been doing this a while apparently.
Lastly the most common cause of a leaking water tank.
Even with temp dial on white rodgers control set to lowest position the water gets scalding hot.
A leak in the drain valve at the bottom of the water heater is another common issue.
We are ou read more.
Drain the water out of the water heater tank by opening the valve at the bottom of the tank near the floor.
Any way to repair this.
It s not the fitting but actually on the tank inlet.
Check where the water is coming from.
Jerry i had and atwood e3 water heater for 10 years never did the pressure valve leak.
Pressure valve leak by.
After draining or flushing a water heater it is common for the drain valve to fail to close completely.
A webcast viewer asks gary bunzer the rv doctor if he should be worried about a leaky hot water pressure relief valve.
Looks like we have a leak on our inlet side of the atwood water heater a pinhole leak in the part that connects to the pex.
Good thing it leaks outside the 5 wheel.
