Atwood water heater heating to tepid then shuts off
Last night, I noticed that my Atwood water heater (electric ignition) wasn't lighting. I'd hit the ignition switch and nothing. The water was around 40C (104F). It was definitely getting power.
This morning, the water heater turned on like normal, heated to 40C, and shut off. I couldn't get it to relight until the temp went down several degrees.
This happened again tonight. I can't get the water above 40C, which is barely tepid or lukewarm, definitely not hot enough for washing dishes much less taking a shower. It normally goes to at least 46 or 47F (115F); hot enough to scald myself.
I put in a new circuit board three years ago and I do maintenance like cleaning the flue, checking the probe, and cleaning all contacts at least twice a year.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Rae
