Water Heater won't stay on
I wrote Atwood the following concerning my water heater
I have an Atwood 10 gallon water heater model GC10 spark ignition, Literature number 93755 which was OEM in my 2005 Fleetwood Pace Arrow 36D. I have had problems for years where the unit shuts itself down and has to keep re-starting over and over again. It stays on for about 5-15 seconds and then shuts down and re-starts. I read in Motorhome magazine that these models shut down due to an overly sensitive thermal cut off and so I replaced that part. It helped for a while but now it has gotten worse. Can you recommend a solution?

Thank you for visiting the Atwood website. I would recommend that you change the spark probe. I don't think it has anything to do with your thermal cut off.
I thinks she's wrong, as opening the door reduces the problem (heat). Anyone solve this problem?
