DSI Atwood propane only water heater
Hello. We fired up the Atwood this morning via a DSI switch in travel trailer. 20 minutes later hot water aplenty from the 6 gallon tank. Left switch on and left for awhile. Returned and no hot water ...

I have the same new WH as the OP with the same symptom . As Old Biscuit describes , is exactly what my unit was doing. Red light on next to on/off switch. 'DSI FLT'
"
Fault Light will also come on when burner fails to light off and prove it lit.
Control module will make 3 attempts to light main flame/have it prove t lit and then 'lock out'
Again RED light would be ON and you have to reset it "
I did the steps as O-B describes to eliminate those possibilities. I was hoping that it would be a loose connection . In my case, once again, it was the board. Simple to do, it just unscrews and unplugs.
If you are on the road under warranty, the MFG. will authorize any RV repair shop to do this for you.
I have been shipped new parts to me while on the road and did the repair myself if it was a simple switch the part kind of thing.
(A repair shop is only going to do the things that Old-Biscuit described anyway, relay that to the MFG. )
It saved them the labor to an out of network repair shop.
I too, still had a month of travel ahead of me and did not want do a manual restart all the time.
