attwood gc10-e3 water heater
After several years of very hot water on both electric or gas we now have barely hot water. From reading the online manual it appears that the thermostat is fixed at factory. Can it be adjusted or rep...

Your Atwood GC10A-3E is indeed a electic & gas water heater
BUT the electric uses it's own separate 120V AC set of t-stat/ECO. They are located on backside of water heater tank with the electric element
The gas uses it's own separate 12V DC set of t-stat/ECO and they are located on front in the outside compartment
Both sets are fixed temp
T-stat OPENS at 140*F (closes for refire at 110*F)
ECO (Energy Cut Off--High temp) OPENS at 180*F
Warm water on electric AND propane..then either water heater bypass valve is open/leaking thru (as suggested)
OR you have a shower still on (Hot/Cold Knobs open) and turned off at handle (allows hot/cold to mix inside the shower faucet which then results in warm water in hot lines)
FYI....Mixer Valves used on 'EXT' models (GE9-EXT or GE16-EXT)
