First off, specs. Dinosaur UIB 64 installed over a year ago. Situation. Had the leak down test done. Got around to purging the propane lines as far as I could go, took a little while for the three burners on the stove to light. Put the fridge on propane, all good so far. Flip the switch for gas on the water heater, listen for the light. No light, DSI light on. Off and on again, again and again. Getting hot. Went back out after a few hours and turned on the AC, on shore power. Now cool enough the stand there inside and cycle the on off switch. I'm about 30 to 40 times, on, off. In quick recession. Finally get a no DSI light. Good, we have a fire. Go out and around. Smell burning something. Plastic? Wiring? Open WH cover and find this. No fire anymore in the burner area, thermal link toast.
So, did I violate procedure and create my own problem? Is there something I should check before replacing the thermal link before attempting a relight?
Feel like I'm reliving the flameout in the Huey at 10,000 and in autoroation and get a relight at about 5,000.
