Atwood Hydro Flame heater problem

[Mopar1973Man]

I've read several articles about making sure the burner and tubes stay clean on your water heater and such so I broke out a phillips screw and opened up the cover on the heater. I found the blower was packed dust and dirt so using compressed air I blew out all the compartment. Then flip on the heater and no burner now...

I double checked the batteries and plugged in the AC power to be sure there was enough power for the sail switch but still no burner...

So now what? Need help!

Ok got it fixed...

After surfing all over the web and doing some serious reading. I found out between the sail switch and the blower motor is the issues with these heaters...

Well just to test the theory I grab the WD40 and gave the one end of the blow a shot of lube and retested. Guess what? the furance fired up. So that means the bearing in the blower motor are dry.

So I took the blower motor out of the furance... Which I might ad was a royal pain in the rear end. Being that combustion blower was rusted to the motor shaft and took quite a bit to free it. But once I got the motor out I cut me a piece of vinyl tubing (3/8") just long enough to cover the long shaft plus 1/2". The unscrew the tip of the grease gun and screwed the vinyl tube on then with a little bit of pressure pushing the vinyl tube against the motor I gave each bearing 1 pump of the grease gun. While I had it all apart I double check the sail switch operation, clean all blowers and ducts, and re-assembled.

Nice and quiet blower... Lots of heat!

I should of took my camera out there to take pics of everything and make a write up of it but... Rainy weather and waiting o just get it done...
