Girard RV Water Heater Parts by Model
Find replacement parts for Girard RV tankless water heaters, including components for the GSWH-1, GSWH-1M, and GSWH-2 models. Shop Girard water heater parts by model or part type to find the correct replacement components for your existing tankless water heater.
Girard water heaters are designed specifically for on-demand RV hot water and use electronically controlled gas combustion rather than a traditional storage tank. Because the GSWH series relies on sensors, electronic controls, water-flow components, and combustion-air systems, identifying the complete model before ordering replacement parts is especially important.
Shop Girard Water Heater Parts by Model
Girard’s primary RV tankless water heater models include:
Girard GSWH-1
First-generation Girard tankless RV water heater
Girard GSWH-1M
Updated version of the original GSWH-1 tankless water heater
Girard GSWH-2
Later-generation Girard tankless water heater with electronic controls and adjustable temperature operation
Lippert continues to provide technical documentation, service information, and warranty references for the GSWH-1, GSWH-1M, and GSWH-2 models, making all three important for replacement-parts support.
Girard Water Heater Replacement Parts
Shop commonly replaced Girard tankless water heater components, including circuit boards, ignition parts, gas valves, burners, combustion components, blower assemblies, air-pressure components, thermostats, safety switches, temperature sensors, flow sensors, water-flow controls, control panels, user controls, doors, conversion panels, plumbing components, wiring, electrical parts, gaskets, seals, and mounting hardware.
Girard tankless systems rely on coordinated water-flow, ignition, combustion, and temperature-control components. A failure in one of these systems can result in no hot water, inconsistent water temperature, ignition problems, reduced water flow, or an error code at the control panel.
Girard GSWH-1 Water Heater Parts
The Girard GSWH-1 was one of Girard’s earlier tankless RV water heaters and remains installed in many motorhomes, travel trailers, and fifth wheels.
Replacement parts for the GSWH-1 may include ignition components, gas-system parts, water-flow components, sensors, control components, wiring, plumbing parts, and other model-specific hardware.
Lippert continues to maintain documentation for the GSWH-1, including owner information and winter-use guidance.
Girard GSWH-1M Water Heater Parts
The GSWH-1M is an updated version of the original Girard tankless water heater. Although it shares some design characteristics with the GSWH-1, parts should not automatically be assumed to interchange between the two models.
Available GSWH-1M parts may include circuit boards, ignition components, gas valves, sensors, water-flow components, controls, wiring, plumbing parts, and replacement hardware.
Always verify the complete model and replacement-part number before ordering.
Girard GSWH-2 Water Heater Parts
The Girard GSWH-2 is one of the most widely recognized Girard tankless RV water heaters and has extensive service and troubleshooting documentation available through Lippert.
Replacement GSWH-2 parts may include circuit boards, ignition components, gas valves, burners, blowers, temperature sensors, flow sensors, water controls, control panels, plumbing components, wiring, doors, conversion panels, and related hardware.
Lippert also provides model-specific GSWH-2 troubleshooting information covering operating problems and error codes from E1 through E9.
Girard Water Heater Doors and Conversion Panels
Replacement doors and conversion panels are available for certain Girard tankless water heater installations. These components are particularly important when replacing an older tank-style RV water heater or adapting a Girard water heater to an existing exterior opening.
Girard GSWH-2 conversion doors are specifically documented by Lippert and should be selected according to the installation opening and water heater configuration.
Door and conversion-panel compatibility should be verified independently from the internal water heater model because different RV installations may use different exterior opening sizes.
Girard Water Heater Sensors and Flow Components
Unlike traditional tank water heaters, Girard tankless systems depend heavily on water flow and temperature sensing to regulate burner operation and outlet-water temperature.
Common components in this system may include flow sensors, inlet-water components, temperature sensors, water controls, and filter screens. Restricted water flow or problems with these components can affect ignition and temperature performance.
Lippert specifically provides service guidance for water-flow testing, temperature problems, and cleaning the inlet water-line filter screen on Girard tankless water heaters.
Girard Water Heater Circuit Boards and Electrical Parts
Electronic controls are central to Girard tankless water heater operation. Depending on the model, electrical replacement parts may include circuit boards, wiring harnesses, switches, control panels, sensors, fuses, and related electrical components.
Because the GSWH-1, GSWH-1M, and GSWH-2 use different control systems, circuit boards and electrical components should always be matched to the exact water heater model and original part number.
Girard Water Heater Ignition and Gas Parts
Girard tankless water heaters use electronic ignition and propane combustion to produce hot water on demand. Replacement combustion-system components may include igniters, electrodes, gas valves, burner assemblies, air-pressure components, blowers, and related hardware.
Ignition problems can sometimes be caused by electrical, gas-pressure, airflow, or water-flow issues rather than the ignition component itself, so verifying the correct replacement part is important before ordering.
Girard Tankless Water Heater Maintenance Parts
Routine maintenance can help maintain consistent water flow and temperature while reducing mineral buildup inside the water heater.
Girard maintenance may include cleaning the inlet-water filter screen, inspecting plumbing connections, checking for freeze damage, inspecting the combustion system, and periodically decalcifying the water heater. Lippert provides dedicated guidance for decalcification, winterization, freeze-leak inspection, water-flow testing, and routine visual maintenance.
How to Find the Correct Girard Water Heater Part
Start by locating the complete Girard model number on the water heater identification label. The most common Girard RV water heater models are the GSWH-1, GSWH-1M, and GSWH-2.
Do not assume that a component fitting one GSWH model will automatically fit another. Differences in circuit boards, sensors, controls, wiring, doors, and other components can exist between model generations.
