Suburban water heater soot, gas smell, flame, or combustion service boundary
Use this when a Suburban tank or on-demand water heater has soot, gas odor, blocked venting, flame concern, delayed ignition, or suspected combustion trouble.
Owner-safe checklist
- Evacuate people from the RV and avoid ignition sources if gas odor is present.
- Shut off LP at the source only if it is safe to do so.
- Turn the water heater off if soot, blocked venting, delayed ignition, abnormal flame evidence, or water intrusion is present.
- Do not operate the water heater again until a dealer, gas supplier, or qualified service person corrects the condition.
