Suburban Water Heater Burner Assembly 011030

The Suburban 011030 Water Heater Burner Assembly is an OEM replacement burner used on later-production Suburban SW Series direct spark ignition (DSI) RV water heaters. The burner mixes propane with combustion air and directs the flame into the water heater combustion chamber for proper heating.

Suburban 011030 is used with newer SW Series water heaters that also use the later-style gas valve system. Because Suburban changed burner assemblies during production, the water heater model and serial number should be checked before ordering.

Potential Issues

Before replacing the burner assembly, inspect the burner orifice, gas valve, igniter electrode, propane pressure, air intake, combustion chamber, and burner alignment. Dirt, spider webs, rust, or debris inside the burner tube can cause poor combustion and may produce symptoms similar to a damaged burner.

The burner should be properly aligned with the gas orifice and combustion chamber. After installation, inspect the burner flame for proper operation and check any disturbed propane connections for leaks.
