Okay - six weeks ago an RV repair/maintenance guy showed me how to light my HW Heater. The pilot and burner both lit.
But, this weekend I was unable to reproduce that ... I couldn't get the pilot to ignight. I pulled out the owners manual and, of course, the instructions are for a different unit than what I have. I tried several times and it just wouldn't light. I searched this forum for awhile and only found one similar post (
Water Heater Help 1975 tradewind). My HW heater is similar - with out any reset/adjustment knobs - and I am relatively certain that there are no ancillary gas line valves specific to the HW heater.
The propane tank was open and I was able to light the stove top. At the water heater, I turned the knob to the pilot position and held it against the stop while focusing the lighter flame at the pilot for several minutes. I tried moving the thermostat to different positions without any change. I opened the kitchen faucet/hot water to verify water was cycling through the HW tank.
Any help is appreciated. I'd like to try this again when I get home tonight.
