Atwood Water Heater Will Not Light

The Atwood water heater in my 1 year old TT does not light. It worked fine last year. There is no clicking noise when I turn on the water heater power. It is a propane-only heater. There is propane in the lines since the furnace and oven both work. I checked the outside water heater fuses and both appear good (the small 2 amp fuse and the long fuse encased in a plastic tube). Any idea what I should check next?

Check electrical connections.
If it still does not respond, it might be the circuit board. I had to swap mine for a new one on my one year old Atwood.

Are you getting propane to the heater if you are it could be the controller as I had same issue was covered under warranty.

Also hard to visually check fuses.
Remove the thermal cut out fuse and just wire directly to t-stat
(Brown wire to t-stat then from t-stat to circuit board)

Try lighting Water Heater.

OR
Use a voltmeter to test for DC Voltage
12V DC to On/Off Switch
12V DC from switch (BROWN) to 'thermal switch' to T-stat' to circuit board
12V DC from circuit board (RED) to ECO to gas valve solenoid
Solenoid (Black) to ground
Is it time for your medication or mine?
