FAQ

This 2-prong igniter and sense electrode is designed for Atwood and Dometic electronic ignition RV water heaters, including models GCH6-4E, GCH6-6E, GC6AA-10E, and GCH6A-10E.
If your water heater fails to light, clicks repeatedly without ignition, or enters a 'fault' or 'lockout' mode, the electrode may be faulty. Over time, the ceramic insulator can crack or the probe tips can become corroded or carbon-fouled, preventing the spark from jumping correctly or failing to sense the flame.
This part is a direct replacement for Atwood and Dometic OEM part number 93868.
Installation is generally straightforward and can usually be completed in 15 to 30 minutes. You will typically need a screwdriver to remove the access panel and a socket or wrench to remove the mounting screws holding the electrode in place. Ensure the water heater is powered off and the gas supply is shut off before beginning the repair.
When installing the new electrode, ensure the probe tips are clean and free of any oils or debris from your hands. Verify that the spark gap is set correctly according to your water heater's service manual—if the gap is too wide or too narrow, the unit may struggle to ignite. Additionally, inspect the high-voltage wire connection for any signs of corrosion or melting before attaching it to the new unit.
