Suburban t-stat sets (120V AC and 12V DC) have a 'manual' reset so that owner has to investigate and reset it when tripped. No 'fault light' indication when HI Temp t-stat trips.
Atwood ECO (Energy Cut Off---HI Temp) 'auto' resets when temp drops below 150*F BUT triggers 'Fault Light' and no reheating can occur until reset by owner.
All OEM T-stats are 'snap disc' FIXED temp.
Atwood does have an 'Optional' adjustable t-stat (110*-150*F) to replace normal temp t-stat (140*F) ECO remains same.
The HI Temp t-stats should only OPEN when the normal t-stat has failed to shut-down heating -----so if they have operated then t-stats s/b replaced.
High amp flow thru connecting wire between HI and Normal on Suburban will burn wire into. SO if that has occurred then wiring/element s/b checked for shorts
