Ok, this is still an issue so I thought I would add some more information.
I have been using the diesel side of AH for showers and temperature (according to thermometer display in galley) never drops below around 160. Yet....I run out of hot water. It starts hot and then gradually cools. Eventually it gets to below 97 degrees when I declare that my shower is finished...Clean or not!
Newell has looked at the unit multiple times and their last guess is that the copper tubing inside the AH unit has pulled away from the burner and needed to be "re-glued". Their estimate was around $2k to fix. I passed.
So...I am still stuck with cold showers.
My questions are these: 1) Has anyone else had this sort of problem? 2) Does anyone have pictures of what is inside the AH box? 3) If one were inclined to have work done on the AH unit (not just replace jets and such), where would one take the unit?
Thanks!
