IF it is a 'Dometic' 6 gal gas/eclectic it should look like this
Dometic acquired Atwood few years ago and is not phasing out the Atwood Brand...redesigned the 6 gal so electric element is in the front
BUT it still uses the SAME Atwood electric control design
12VDC controls gas & electric .....Common DC goes to BOTH on/off switches
So check that the DC Fuse for water heater is not blown
Good Main fuse then the next common DC is to/thru the T-stat
Brown wires....on one of those wires is a Thermal Fuse. If it Blows NO DC to circuit board for any functions
Thermal Fuse is in that clear tubing.....blows when exposed to temps 190*F/above
That can happen if flame flare back should occur
**Dirty combustion chamber/dirty orifice
The other thing common is the 2A fuse on the circuit board
Those are the 3 common Fuses for the Gas & Electric Operation
Here is the New Manual for that Dometic Water Heater
Installation/Operation Manual
IF it is the last version of the Atwood GC6A-10E it will look like this
Same 3 common fuses that would stop gas/electric from operating
