Dealer is WAY out of TOUCH
Up to/thru 2003 Atwood Electric/Gas combo water heaters used separate t-stats for electric and propane functions
2004 ---Present (For past 13 YEARS)
Atwood Combo Units use ONE set of t-stat/ECO for BOTH electric/gas functions
They are on front (outside compartment)
Under the foam insulator ....marked ECO/T-stat
Red wires/....ECO (HI Temp T-stat---180*F
Brown wires/..T-stat (Normal controlling ---140*F)
BOTH failing is suprising
T&P Relief Valve BLEW??
OR weep heavily
T&P opens at 210*F YIKES
Weeping....could be from T-stat failing,,,water heating to 180*F (ECO shut down----should have gotten a RED Fault light) and loss of Air Pocket inside WH TANK
You did buy/replace BOTH ---correct?
Not necessary but 'best practice' to replace (come as a set with new foam cover)
