Will this unit replace GC6AA-9E? Do I need to purchase the door to and wiring kit?

Yes it comes with no door or use the old one is what I did! U can use the old wiring or you'll have to re-wire if you want to use the switch that comes with it! I'm using it as we speak and I'm using the gas and electric at the same time and I can tell you that water it hot as can be!!! I will give you a warning though. It came with plastic couplers 1/2" and they both broke! Go to Home Depot and get two brass ones before installing! 1/2" pipe thread $2.89 each!

The unit I ordered did not come with a door. Also, the metal hooks (for door hinge), provided with the unit for fastening the door to the water heater are shorter that the originals by about 1/8". So, it was necessary for my installation to use my old door. In addition, the 10E, series unit is wired for a different control panel. So, I had to provide a single pole 2 way switch to adapt it to my trailer. Other than the following, it is in and works fine.

I replaced a 9E with this unit. You can use the door you currently have and new hinge pins are included with the 10E. You will need to get either a single switch to go with your current gas switch or order the double Atwood switch as I did. You will need to run a single wire from the unit to the new switch you purchase. It is used to activate the water heater in electric mode. The 9E did not have this wire, only the gas wire/switch.

I don't know about compatability, wiring is included, door is not. U can use old door. I did.

You will have to buy an extra switch. I had to hire a rv repairman because the wiring is different. He had to put in an extra switch. It cost me $260 dollars more.

Yes it will fit. you need kit and harness for perfect fit if replacing factory unit.

Everything you need is in the kit. simply replace the old with the supplied new and away you go. No time at all to install

I replaced a 9E with a 10E. The 9E had a gas switch but no electric switch and I did have to order the double Atwood switch to replace the single Atwood switch.

I'm not sure if it replaces the model you described. If you program this one for your current unit, it will start to recognize this one as your primary opener. I hope that answers your question.

Yes. They call them doors. I had one for the same model. Should be easy to find an inexpensive one or a full kit.

Lorie--it sould work (same size) but we have the g6a-8E (electronic switch) so you will have to put in a switch. But it went right in & replaced the old one wire for wire. It was pretty easy for my husband to do with a little help from me holding it up!!

If you go to the atwood site and look at the water heater brochure, page 3, it gives the atwood package numbers, the oem numbers and the aftermarket model numbers to compatible heaters. I didn't see a GCH6A-7E model on their chart, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist, may have just been discontinued. The model 96117 was meant to replace the Atwood GC6AA-8, again, check the brochure, and it will tell you which measurements the models have which should narrow down your choices. Sorry I wasn't more help...

No it won't -- as I found out when I tried to replace my six G-6 alarms with 4618s using the KA-F. The wiring connector to the G-6 has three pins in a triangular pattern -- the KA-F has a three-pin receptacle, but it's in a straight line, so the two don't fit. For what it's worth, I ended up rewiring all of them manually. It was a bit tedious but not too difficult. Like many home-improvement items, the first one takes 20 minutes to figure out and the rest take less than 5 minutes each. Just make sure the a/c power is off and keep track of the polarity of the house wiring, if it isn't already clearly marked, so everything gets attached to the right wire on the new alarm.

Correct - just remove the old unit and replace with the new unit. Should take less than one minute...

its an universal part...it will work you might havta cut existing wires and splice this unit wires.

You need to buy the adapter Kidde KA-F, there is a two pack that seems to be cheaper than buying the adapter separately. Otherwise, just rewire the unit base.(It isn't hard, just one more step).

I'm not sure what the model is of the unit I replaced but this unit works great! Are you concerned with quality, size or wiring?

I got the WF8955PEC and it came with replacement for everything but the fuses and circuit breakers, including the lower board. I labelled each wire as I took out my old unit and installed the new one in the same configuration in less than an hour.

this is only brackets to connect your door to existing system , you need system itself , not the door holding brackets. System would be about $30 to buy , contact handyct for more information
