Okay so I set the hot water heater to propane only and it initially lit and heated up. I thought it was okay but a day later and now it appears it will not stay lit. If I turn off the switch and back on again it lights up and then goes out again and the red light next to the switch comes back on again.
We weren't having any problems with using the propane with the hot water heater until the repair place rewired the electric to get it working, but that may be just coincidence? We have plenty of propane in the tank. When I switch the propane off and back on I can hear it start up but it will not stay lit for some reason.
A few years ago Atwood had a problem with ALL the control boards. So, you need to get to a Atwood service center(most RV service centers are Atwood centers also) and get your Model/Serial number and spec number submitted to Atwood to see if your circuit board was built during that bad period. Odds are the Control/Circuit module is bad. Your problem was one of the problems with the bad serial numbers. I believe your Atwood spec plate should indicate the month/year the WH was built. Doug
