    Power vent water heater problems?
    My power vent water heater vent has been running non-stop. We cleaned it out with an air compressor, and it is still running non-stop. Any suggestions?

    The power vent fan is started amnd stops via a temperature sensor switch, which in your case, has likely failed. What brand/model are we talking about here?
