Dsi water heater
My Atwood 6 gallon gas only water heater, kicks on. But it does not stay on long enough to heat the water sufficiently. Any ideas?

Flame MUST engulf spark electrode when it lights off
Spark electrode needs to be clean-----emery/crocus cloth
Ceramic on spark electrode if cracked will allow ground tracking...wipe down using a rag with silicone sprayed on it
Contacts on high tension wire at board or electrode must be clean/tight
Flame has to 'prove' it lit
It does this by flame ionization which actually generates a millivolt signal that goes back to circuit board.if circuit board doesn't get this signal it shuts down gas valve
