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?
Here's Chantels reply
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.

Just a Thought, based on experience. Open your hot water heater door and leave it open and see if it still shuts off as before. If it works better you may have an air flow/exhaust problen or flame sensing problem. Try it and let us know. If you haven't already done that it's worth a try.

I thinks she's wrong, as opening the door reduces the problem (heat). Anyone solve this problem?
