Atwood Water Heater T-Stat Question
Hello All, Just needing a sanity check here. I recently had an issue with my Atwood water heater thermostat apparently not making good contact with the tank and creating an overheating situation. ...

Just clean tank wall and make sure t-stat is held tight against wall.
My daughter brand new TT had a problem with the water heater not re-lighting. After 2 (or was it 3 ?) attempts by the dealer (including a charge for re-adjusting the flame sensor), simply cleaning the t-stats and the spot where they contacted the tank, solved the problem.
OP - Curious, how did you realize the tank was over heating ? There is a PT valve just like on your home water heater tank, so you were not really in any danger. There is also a thermal fuse that will melt cutting off all power if thing got REALLY hot !
