Atwood Water Heater
The Atwood water heater in my 1999 Fleetwood Pace Arrow has acted up since I bought the unit in 2009.
For the longest time the pilot light indicator would be lite on the monitor, but the unit required a few (3 or 4) on/offs to light. After a while, I had to go out and slightly twist the connector on the board for the unit to light. This intermittent issue continued for a few years until I replaced the wiring harness.
After I replaced the harness the unit starts without problem as long as the tank is in use. if it sits( overnight for example) then the switch on the monitor must be turned off and then on for the unit to start. It starts right up with a flick of the switch.
In addition, unlike before I changed the wiring harness, the pilot light on the monitoring unit is never lite up.
Anyone have any similar problems?
