Hi all, I have a Bradford White water heater with a power vent. Over the past few months, we have noticed that the fan kicks on, then off, then on, then off, then on finally for an extended period of time. I checked to see if the unit was lighting each time, and when I checked it was not. I am now concerned about what happens if the power vent fails, do these units have some sort of sensor that will shut the whole tank down if it is not venting correctly? Will it continue to operate if the vent isnt operational? I have multiple carbon monoxide detectors through the house, but still the thought of the power vent failing concerns me. Any advice anyone has would be appreciated!! Oh yes, unit is atleast 12 years old.
Thank you in advance for your time,
