Tampering with the P/T relief valve will void the
warranty.
22 P/T Relief Valve
The P/T relief valve is not serviceable. If the P/T relief
valve is found to be faulty, replace the valve.
This Water Heater is equipped with a P/T relief valve
that complies with the standard for Relief Valves and
Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Systems,
ANSI 221.22.
If a discharge line is used, do not use a reducing
coupling or other restriction smaller than the outlet of
the P/T relief valve. Allow both the valve and the line to
completely drain.
A P/T relief valve dripping while the Water Heater is
running does not mean it is defective. During normal
expansion of water, as it is heated in the closed water
system of an RV, may cause the P/T relief valve to drip.
The Dometic water heater tank is designed with an
internal air gap at the top of the tank to reduce the
possibility of dripping. Over time, the expanding water
will absorb this air and it must be restored. Due to
variations in water quality, the P/T relief valve may have a
shorter life and may need replacement within the Water
Heater warranty period. If corrosion is detected, it will
not be covered under warranty.

Replacement P/T Relief Valve Parts

Do not install anything less than a combination P/T
relief valve certified by a nationally recognized testing
laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of
product of listed equipment or materials, as meeting
requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas
Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI
221.22. The Valve must have a maximum set pressure
not to exceed 150 PSI (1034.21 kPa).
Install the valve into the provided opening marked for
this purpose on the Water Heater.
Installation must conform with local codes or in the
absence of local codes, American National Standard
for Recreational Vehicles, ANSI A119.2/NFPA 50IC.
For an external electrical source, ground this unit in
accordance with National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA70.

Dometic 6GEA. Hot and Cold Water Valves are open. I turn on both LP and Electric, immediately hear it come on and run for about five minutes. Let it run for a while, grate to outside is warm. Hooked to hose for water. No hot water (might be slightly warm for about 10 seconds).

I have tried to turn on hot water heater WH-6GEA and continue to get a fault error on the panel shown below. I reset the circuit breaker and the same issue continues to happen. The water heater has the fault issue with both gas or electric. This water heater has been used only twice prior to this time. It is installed in a Fleetwood 2023 flair 29m. Th manual that was provide by General RV shows a reset button on the top of the water. I looked for the reset button and see no button to reset. I am current camping and would appreciate any help that you could provide. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide

My water heater won't work on either electric or propane. Both the ECO and thermostats check ok as does the thermal link. I have 12 volts to both the white and orange signal wires to the board with the control switch on. I do not have voltage to the yellow wire though with the control switch on. I just replaced this heater and had hot water the first evening but then it quit working.

@Don Gaalswyk Hello there is a safety fuse by the heating pipe that is too close and it blows it. I bought a new one that usually comes with a wire extension so you can place it farther away, hope this helps.
