How to replace water heater element

[jdebiso]

Hi!

I just purchased a 2005 29BHS. The previous owner told me I need to replace the heater element. It's an Atwood GC6AA-10E heater. Where is the element? I can't figure it out. Any suggestions? I have googles and every diagram I find does not show it.

Go to www.atwoodmobile.com

There's a section on the left that has schematics and parts lists.
This should help you find where it's located.

I found that site but there is only 1 diagram showing the location and it does not match my model. This should be simple.

See if this looks like yours.

It's a screw in element.


A=bolt-on
AA= screw in

Mine does not look like that. It is close but mine is gas and electric.

Heater element is in the back (near the bottom), you have to take the electrical box off. Be sure to mark your wires.

Looks like it's behind the WH

Is that accessible from outside the camper or inside. I dont find anything that looks like that on the outside. The outside looks just like page 18.

From the inside..

It may be accessible behind an inside cabinet panel.

just look where it is located then go inside and remove whatever you have to remove. Usual the winterizing valves are in that location too.

Thanks for all the help! I am hoping to get out to the camper this weekend and I'll see what I can find. I did order the part so fingers crossed!
