Atwood Water Heater Eratic Operation
I have a new to me 2007 Itasca Meridian with a 10 gallon Atwood lpg/electric water heater. When I turn on the gas operation switch the unit ignites and heats the water and turns off. Then the problem occurs. It will stay off for only 10 seconds and then fires up again for 5 seconds. Sometime is will try to start and will not fire. Usually 2 or 3 tries and it will ignite. I have watched it go through this cycle for about 20 minutes without it quitting. This is the first time I have used the heater in gas mode so I do not know the history of it.
Any ideas of where to look or is it time to call the shop for an appointment?
