I have a jayco 195rb with atwood g6a7 gas only water heater.

Atwood hot water heater leaking.

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. Jerry i had and atwood e3 water heater for 10 years never did the pressure valve leak. 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.

A webcast viewer asks gary bunzer the rv doctor if he should be worried about a leaky hot water pressure relief valve. Lastly the most common cause of a leaking water tank. A leak in the drain valve at the bottom of the water heater is another common issue. Had to replace it this year with an 900 00 atwood e4 water heater and ever time the water heats up the valve leaks.

Even with temp dial on white rodgers control set to lowest position the water gets scalding hot. Check where the water is coming from. Pressure valve leak by. It works but too well.

Drain the water out of the water heater tank by opening the valve at the bottom of the tank near the floor. 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. If a leak on your water heater is suspected after doing all the steps above the power and water valve must be switched off. Looks like a bad design.

You can see the corrosion from minerals in our water it s been doing this a while apparently. 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. It s not the fitting but actually on the tank inlet. Any way to repair this.
