Atwood heater problem
hi I have an Atwood heater that I am having trouble with. The heater will not stay running. Got to dark to look into it tonight but just looking for any ideas as to what it may be. When I turn the...

That model uses the spark electrode for return path of flame signal (Flame generates milliamp signal thru rectification---which proves flame is lit)
No return signal circuit board shuts down DC to gas valve so raw fuel does not accumulate in combustion chamber
Spark electrode MUST be engulfed in flame when it lights off
Spark electrode must be free of soot/carbon build up.....clean with emery cloth
Spark electrode high voltage wire connection must be clean/tight
Spark electrode ceramic insulator can not be cracked....ground tracking
Spark electrode assembly screw must be clean/tight ------ground source for rod
Spark electrode gap 1/8"
