Water heater issues
HI, brand new camper with a Dometic water heater model # WH-6GEA gas and electric. Dealer is 400 miles away and I'm not leaving it for 6 months lol. Heater worked for 3 days and then quit. I have powe...

That WH-G6EA is a brand new revision...Dometic FINALLY moved the electric element/DC Relay from backside to Front of WH Tank....YEAH
WH...(Product ID_
G ...(GAS)
6 ...(Volume)
E ...(Electric)
A ...(Revision)
Combustion/Exhaust 'U' Tube is now Stacked vs the Diagonal on previous version (to make room for DC Relay/Element
DC Relay/Element is under that cover on right bottom area in outside compartment
Wiring scheme is same as a GC6A-10E/GC10A-4E versions (from 2004--present)
So you verified that you have 12VDC from On/Off Switches to circuit board
Orange wire....Gas
White wire ....Electric
You verified you have 12VDC on Brown wire from circuit board to/thru thermal fuse, to/thru T-stat and back to circuit board via Brown wire
Did you remove that 2A fuse and verify it has continuity?
Second Board not working either
Thermal Fuse (in clear tube) if blown will stop ALL DC back to circuit board
Remove it and jumper Brown wire straight to T-stat
2A fuse protects the circuit board
So if blown then there is a short in circuit board
2 Boards...doubtful
Check ALL the ground connections Pin 6 & 5
