attwood water heater acting funky

We have an atwood combo water heater(gas/electric).When we have the heater on electric only, sometimes the PILOT OUT light comes on and the electric shuts down. If I turn off the electric and turn it back on ,we get hot water again and the PILOT OFF goes off. Has anybody had this problem?

First, I think the indicator light is really a FAILED TO IGNITE BURNER. (At least on my daughter's TT it is.)

First, remove and re-seat ALL electrical connectors at the heater. Second, carefully pull back the adhesive insulator over the two thermostatic switches. Remove each switch one at a time and clean the switch and the tank with something like a Scotch pad.
