Well.. here's an interesting one:

My water heater won't fire up. It tries - but only stays on for 5, maybe 10 seconds. A subsequent attempt might stay on for 15 seconds...

So while troubleshooting - it fires up just fine when the door is open. Close the door and it shuts down within 5 or 10 seconds.

Sure sound like some kind of air flow issue to me...

Advice ??

Thanks,
