    Water Heater issue-yellow flame

    My atwood heater ignites fine but I only have a yellow flame and never get the normal "jet sound" as it starts to heat up. The flame is large and I worry that the wiring may already be damaged. Any thoughts what would be causing this. It was working 1 day and not the next.
