Probably the T-Stat as the others have stated, that's where I would start. Shut off all the power before you start working on it!
I would remove the T-stat and look at it. Sometimes there is some lime built up on the terminals. If you use a product like "lime away" (be careful with this as it can give skin burns) and another "lime remover" (they sell it at the dollar tree in a green spray bottle) and allow the terminals to soak for a while it can remove the lime build up on the terminals and could very well function again. If this doesn't work or you just "for sure want it fixed now", you'll need the part from Atwood. However, I will state that it often works and the soaking takes less than 1 hour.
