Doug, do you know when this problem actually started. We have a 2018 Winnebago Fuse built in July 2017 with an Attwood GCH6A-10E water heater made in Greenbriar, Tn. There is no date of manufacture I can find but the electronics module has a label with "Zhongding" and a bar code. Any information would be greatly appreciated and may help others out also. Thanks for your time.

Yours would probably be in the time frame. The good news is, they fail within a few months or almost immediately when in service. The Water Heaters have a 2 year warranty. So, if you have had the unit for 6 months and it has not failed your board is probably NOT one of the suspect boards. As I stated, even Atwood has no way to verify when and what boards are suspect. They have told all distributors and suppliers to return the boards they had in stock. One thing, I have a friend that is very "particular" when it comes to his RV. He asked about buying one on Amazon or E bay to have a back up after his new unit Atwood failed and we replaced it under warranty. What happens when dishonest people get ahold of the suspect/bad boards somehow and then start selling them on Amazon or E Bay????? There are thousands of these suspect boards out there and I doubt ALL would be returned to Atwood. Doug
