Angry Suburban SW6DE Hot Water Heater

Okay - I'm stumped. No ignition (no gas). Tube - clean/cleared. No blown fuses. Checked the LP Gas Valve (turned "on" heater switch, ignitor clicked with spark and nothing). Checked electrical the four connectors - each had power when the ignition system was in progress. Had resistance across poles 3&4 - but not 1&2....new valve time? Oh - electrical heating element worked perfectly.

Sounds like gas valve may not be opening.

assuming your not out of gas and there's no air in the lines

No whiff of gas. The heater, stove, oven and refrigerator all work...perfectly. I "cracked" the line opening into the valve with a soap mixture - bubbled dramatically with a STRONG smell of gas. My conclusion is that it's not opening.....so, it's probably time to replace the valve....unless you know a fix. To top it off.....I've owned the trailer 2 years and 2 months (new) - you can probably guess the dealer's response.
