Atwood water heater reset question

Worked OK on propane but didn't work on electric........ :H

Well the 'tech' didn't reset the t-stats cause there is only one set of t-stats for that Atwood.
There is NO 'reset' button.
There is also no need to unplug board to reset.

'Tech' did one of 2 things:
1) Reset the AC circuit breaker for the electric element---turned it OFF then back ON
OR
2) Reset by turn the ON/OFF switch for electric operation on panel OFF. IF electric or gas 'fault' you reset by turning the switch OFF (then back on to restart)
The 'tech' was trying to make it sound like he really dug into problem and solved it...........bet he didn't tell you why it had to be 'reset'


NOW there is a 'resettable' ECO (high temp t-stat) that is available aftermarket. It has a 'reset' button on it so it can be manually reset if it trips. But if it trips it must be manually reset or neither electric or propane will operate.
OEM ECO& normal t-stats auto reset after opening when WH tank temp drops below roughly 110*F.

Mine does not have the switch on the back. I was told the newer ones do not have a switch. I was not sure if there is a button like on a home water heater that can be pushed to reset the electrical connection.

Reset button :h

My Atwood has a switch on the back of the tank to turn the AC voltage on or off but it doesn't act as a breaker or reset button.

Unplug the board wait a minute plug it back in
