Help w/ Water Heater

We own a 2004 Minnie Winnie. Having a problem with Atwood non-electric, auto pilot water heater. when switch is flipped ON it runs perfect for 30secs to a minute then shuts off. Any help would be appreciated!
  • Look at your furnace and refer circuit boards. Some use the same circuit board as in the WH. Swap the circuit boards. More apt to be the one in the furnace.
  • Get the model number off your wh. You will primarily need to ensure all the connections are good and that the protective thermal fuse is not burned. Let's start with the model number for your wh.
  • Silly question but is your propane on? Try lighting the stove and letting it run then try lighting the water heater.
  • The circuit board is not seeing the flame. It could be dirty or need adjusting.
    Could also be a failing circuit board. If you need new circuit board, get a Dinosaur Electronics version.
