Hi Folks!

I used to have a copy of the Atwood service manual for the Atwood GC10A-E3 Water Heater but seem to have lost it. If anyone has a copy could you be so kind as to post it up for me?

Many thanks!
Bob

Here is one that covers the 6 & 10 Electronic Models
It is a decent manual

Use to be LOTS of really good service manuals available....use to be!
Although Dometic acquired Atwood back in 2017 they seem to have flexed their corp. muscle and the really good manuals are no longer directly available.
Now you get directed to DOMETIC website and then try to navigate it to hunt for info and when you find some it is VERY Limited

Thanks Biscuit - that's exactly what I found out. I went to their site and wow - no manuals anymore. My guess is they want to direct you to a service center or just buy a new product. Same thing with parts - can't seem to find any parts listings either. Or, it could just be that their new website sucks because the developer doesn't know what he's doing. Hard to say.

I'm thinking of pulling the furnace out as the last time I used it I thought I heard some bearing noise. Either way, it's from the year 2000 and has never been out or checked and it gets used almost permanently in the winter so I don't want any issues at all. For that reason, I wanted to be forearmed with the manual. It's printing now - and thanks again!!!

Stoopid me....I meant the Atwood Furnace manual and got confused with my existing Atwood Water Heater (my fault entirely).

The good news is that I found I had already printed the furnace manual. But hey, now I also have the service manual for the hot water heater too!v
