Water Heater · 2 assemblies · 2 diagram sheets · 65 parts · by Andrew Strick, mobile RV technician

OEM exploded parts diagrams for the Suburban DSI Series DSI8 RV water heater: 2 assemblies (Exploded View, Replacement Appliance) and 65 manufacturer part numbers. 12 parts are marked as superseded — the description gives the replacement number to order instead.

The rating plate is inside the exterior access door, usually on the left of the burner area. Suburban model numbers encode capacity and ignition (e.g. SW6DE = 6 gal, DSI, electric); the serial number dates the board and thermostat generation.
