Your 2002 Atwood combo WH as separate sets of thermostats for electric side and for propane side
Electric set (120V AC) are on backside of WH Tank where the electric element is located.
Propane set (12V DC) are in outside compartment behind the burner tube.
Both sets have a 'Normal' t-stat preset for 140*F and a ECO (Energy Cut Off---HI Temp) T-stat preset for 180*F
There are some options but limited:
Nothing can be done about the t-stats for the electric side as they are 120V AC and no options available
Propane side uses 12V DC t-stats and there is a 120*F t-stat available to replace the 140*F (Atwood part number 91470).
There is also an Atwood Adjustable T-stat (110*F to 150*F) to replace the 140*F (Atwood 93105)
The ECO Hi Temp remains at 180*F
NOTE: Above info pertains to PRE-2004 Atwood WHs
In 2004 Atwood redesigned their WHs and incorporated electric/propane controls to use one set of 12V DC t-stats and a combined circuit board.
