I know it's on there. I just didn't see it.

I think it would really be helpful if you would go and take a look at the
model number and post the model number here. If you have a digital camera,
sometimes an easy way to see and read the model number is to take a photo of
it.

Among other things, that would allow people here to determine if it is a
direct vent water heater etc., and also enable looking up the various parts
that your particular water heater has.

You could also go to http://www.repairclinic.com/ and try clicking on
"Repair Help" in the upper right hand corner of the page. Water heaters are
shown under "Heating and Cooling". And, the actual parts are shown on the
main page.

Also, with a digital camera or cell phone camera, you could take a photo or
two of the "venting" that keeps coming up as a possible cause/issue/problem.
You could use a free website like http://tinypic.com/ to create a link to
the photos that you could post here.

This is a long thread, and you have been very responsive to what has been
posted, but I think a little more detail about the specific model number and
what the venting looks like may help -- especially since you said that you
keep spending a lot of money having people come out to look at and try to
fix the problem.

Good luck.
