Thank you for this information. I have not experienced any problems with our water heater, but it is good to file the information for future reference if needed.

The water heater would not ignite In the gas mode, on our recently purchased 179. DSI light was staying on. Checked the flume, and the reset switches, they were fine. Checked the ignition control board, which was mounted to the water heater by double sided tape and a cable tie. Discovered the Q3 contacts located on the back of the circuit board covered by the double sided tape to be burned out.
This is a Suburban Water Heater SW6DE, replacement board $100+ (Made in China) 90 day warranty. We purchased a new Dinosaur Electric, UIB S (small) $88+ (Made in USA) 3 year warranty. Working great, easy fix. However would recommend purchasing a cover/case as old Suburban case will not fit. It is slightly bigger. The UIB S also has a 5 amp fuse built in, along with some LED lights and some test ports. It gets really good reviews Hopes this helps with any water heater ignition problems
