Re: gas water heater
Dark areas above the burner areas of water heaters sometimes indicates that the interior flame shield for the burner area has not been installed properly and is allow combustion gasses out of the front of the burner area. Check to see if the interior flame shield has been installed with the top metal section inside the burner area. Also, the heat coming from the burner area can damage the solenoid valve for the water heater. Check the operation of the solenoid valve to ensure it has not been damaged.
