Thank you so much, this was a $15.00 fix after trouble shooting hot water heater . Easy to follow instructions saved me a service call to the campground.
Thank you! Problem: Gas ignites but shuts off after about 40 seconds. It worked fine just 2 weeks ago. I had already replaced the igniter, but that didn't help. Because of your video I learned about the ECO and thermostat connections. I reasoned that it might shut off if it thought the water was already hot enough. I unplugged the connectors going to the ECO and T-Stat units and reconnected them and it fixed my problem! I'm guessing there was some corrosion on the connectors.
Thank you!!! I was able to fix my hotwater heater myself. Being a single mother I can't afford to pay anyone to make repairs. I've learned so much from RUclips. I'm RUclips certified electrician lol
FYI! The brown wire with the thermal fuse was put back on wrong! The thermal fuse is supposed to be bent so it is over the burn chamber. You have it backwards. It's a safety feature incase flames come out of the burn chamber and produce too much heat, it will melt the thermal fuse and kill power.
Thank you for making this video. I've read several troubleshooting sheets, but without the visual aid to locate what is being referenced, things are not so simple. You saved the day!
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I already knew the problem, just wanted to know how to install thermostat and ECO. Perfect video. Thanks Bugsmacker.
Excellent. So glad I found this video. I just broke off the tab on the eco while cleaning it (pilot light not lighting at wall switch but heater works on electric). I thought I was going to have to take the entire front off to get the Eco out. Thanks for posting this. Brian
Thank you for the video. I replaced both the thermostats and the cutoff fuse. The water is now HOLY CR@P hot!. I did notice that I have no visible light on my particular model. I don't see anything on mine that looked like your light. Mine is a 2015 unit so maybe they saved money by getting rid of the 30 cent light. Thank you again from SW Florida.
I'll try not to be long winded, but THANK YOU! Finally, a video that actually explains and shows how to do something and how it works. Very thorough and beneficial.
Very informative over all, but wonder is there a way to tell which is ECO and which is Thermostat as they came loose in my kit. I'm assuming that the ECO is the 180F and the Thermostat is the 140F cut off. I also noted that my brown wires on the Thermostat were backwards to the orientation you showed. I assume that it makes no difference since there seems to be no set orientation for either sensor. Am I assuming correctly?
At 1:04 ' "Use a meter to check the fuse and replace if necessary". Presumably the meter shows an infinite resistance (open circuit) for a bad fuse, but it's so much clearer if you actually spell this out so we don't have to assume anything.
@@projet2907 You need to learn the difference between "suppose" and "supposed." You should have written "What is it supposED to show . . ." It's basic English.

My water does not get hot when on electric only with gas, its a newer model atwood on a 2018 heartland, its a real pain in the ass getting it in for warranty work, rather just fix it myself, any help you can give me on this would be much appreciated.
I left the electric switch on on my 17 Thor Challenger 37TB with a Atwood water heater. Works on gas, not on electric, i am thinking the element burned out. What do you think, whrre should i start troubleshooting
No water is coming thru pop off relief valve why might that be? Can't seem to see the bypass valves in this area. Also my system is missing the LED on the deal on the board
So if they go back could it make it stay one as well? Mine is just lit and stays on, I have a falt light on my panel in side the camper . It gets so hot that the blow off starts to leak. So I just been leaving it off.
I was wondering why you assumed the sensors were bad when you wiggled the wire the light came on? Also would you first ohm test the sensors before replacing them? Seems you replaced sensors when all it was, was a bad connection sense when you moved the wire the light CAME ON ?
Mine heats up really hot then lights up the problem light on the inside and doesn't heat after that so I'm going to replace the thermostat tomorrow. Thanks
My hot water heater, Atwood, heats the water electrically and with LPG. My issue is that the water gets hot and the system will not cut off. I noticed this when using electricity and I smelled “electrical burning”. I turned on the gas and it never turned off. What should I be looking at?
Question, how do I check the condition of the circuit, when it is calling for heat, if I don't have that red light? The part of the video where you show to crimp the connectors, the gasket covering the thermostat and the EOC has disappeared then reappears. Neat magic trick.
I'm running mine on electricity. The water heater works fine but after getting up to temperature it'll shut off and the light on the switch comes on (lockout condition?) I've replaced that thermo wire with no luck. If I let it sit or use the hot water I can flip the switch again and it'll work. That is until it gets up to temp then it'll lockout again. Any ideas?
I just purchased a 2006 Fema Cavalier camper. I have the power connected to the camper. Your vedio is very helpfull. I can not locate an on off switch inside the camper. I do not have a battery. Do I need a battery connnected for the hot water heater?
My heater is too hot. The water is scalding hot and the emergency relief valve opens slightly sometimes and drains water to the ground. Someone has pulled the insulating tape on the ECO and T-Stat lose and the T-Stat seems loose in the clips, What is the part number and source for replace ECO and T--Stat sensors?
This is my problem. My guess is that the thermostat is not turning the flame off. For $15 I'm going to try changing it to see if that fixes my problem of water overheating and coming out the overpressure safety valve
My hot water STOPPED flowing! No idea why. Completely drained the tank and water started flowing again. Ignited the propane and heard a clicking sound one minute later no water flow again. ANY IDEAS?
I replaced both the ECO and thermostat and heater worked fine. I would turn on the water heater to shower and then turn it off. Wife turned it on and forgot to turn it off. I checked the ECO and thermostat and they both were open with a ohm meter so I replaced them again. Now it has done the same thing again after being left on overnight. Any suggestions?
one additional comment: I did run the three burner gas range. for the second time and it did sputter for about 4 or 5 seconds, so there was air in the system even though I lit the range about aweek ago, when I started trying to light the water heater.
I changed thermostat, eco and element and still get luke warm water, with occasional burst of hot water at bathroom sink which is above tank, What could be the problem? Valve blockage?
Ron Alan check your outdoor shower and see if the water is mixed also check and make sure you're not by past at the water heater like when you winterize
I have a 2002 jWinnebago Brave 32V. I am second owner. it has an Atwood heater, date says 5/23/2013. It looks like it never fired. I have filled the water tank. Turned on the water heater switch, Nothing happens. Is there a fuse in this water heater system. .R. Hardy
Finally I found the Bypass switch was in the wrong position. The lever was attached in the wrong position either at the factory or by some one removing the toggle switch an replacing it in the wrong position. If so remove the toggle switch and place in the correct position.
I have a GC6A-6 atwood hater heater how can I check to make sure my gas/control thermostate is working right?the video that I am watching is my waterheater.
How about a video on Atwood tankless water heater? They come with a dial. What should this be set at? At what point should I see the burners turn on and off?
How often should the propane fire/cycle on to maintain water temp on a 6 gallon tank? Mine fires up about every 2.5 minutes, sometimes less, and runs for 15 seconds. Seems odd....like a short cycle. Outside temps are only min the mid 50s F. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks Bug Smacker! My Atwood RV water heater used to work on Electric and gas and now only works on gas. Do you know why? It is 12 years old and now the gas comes on and lites, but in 2 seconds goes out, lites again and goes out again, and then the red light comes on. I checked the ECO T'Stat and the flat lug on left switch ) broke off in the plastic connector (2 red wires). So I soldered it back on to the terminal of the switch and that worked. But when gas lites it still goes out. Another camper told me that I should blow out the soot from the burner. How do I do that? I used can of compressed air and blew down the gas tube and the heater began to work, but it has trouble each time it tries to start. Can you give me some advice? Also, why is not working on electric?
I have the same heater...mine works on electric but when I try gas it just keeps trying to ignight but won't light...I've cleaned tubes....any ideas....control? gas valve? thanks
Try reading the correct section of this PDF file: manuals.adventurerv.net/Atwood-Water-Heater-Service.pdf Start by making sure the electronic igniter is gapped right and aimed correctly and the tubes are clear of bugs and aligned right.
I did everything you did. still not working. Replaced the circuit board, relay, element and thermol cut off. now im getting a high pitch buzz and still no hot water on the electric side. Any advice?

If my inside water heater switch light turns on for about 4 seconds and then turns off? But outside the flame is good and the heater is heating the water properly. What could be the diagnosis? Hot water is not the problem. Just the inside switch red light turns off after 4 seconds, but the water heater is still heating. Thanks

tina shipman HI tina. I checked all the connections and before getting at it as shown by this video I turned it on and waited to see if it would perform properly and it did. The reason why it was'nt shutting off is I was not giving it enough time (in my mind) to heat the water in the tank. It shut off; no over heated water was being let out of the emergency pressure release and the water was hot. problem solved: patience.
my heater heats the water up to temp but then a red light comes on above the switch and will not maintain the heat. shuts down. could this be thermostat?
Same problem here I replace the thermostat thinking I measured a problem with a DVM but that's not it. The water heats up but then fails when it try's to reheat the water
I have a problem turning the water heater from inside, I cant find the water heater switch. Can you tell me the exact location please. There is nothing where the stove and kitchen sink is. Where else can i find it ? Thanks.
+juancarloslax I have had RV's that are located in different locations. Most newer ones are located by the water and waste indicators. Others have been on the lower bunk wall on the bottom bunk. There is most often a switch with a red light. When turned on the red light will illuminate until the water heater is on. I hope this helps!
I found out today, the job is much more difficult when some previous BOZO flattens the tabs the hold these sensors in place. Not a good plan at all, they are a permanent part of the water heater frame.
Checked my Atwood, there’s gas out and the electric noise come out but no start. Check the spark probe , sand it and put it back, looks like the distance between 2 probes is a little far, bend more and it start the gas. Another possible reason no ignition.
Well, this video certainly was more helpful. Thank you for explaining this. I did something to my water heater which I , hmm, don't think should have done. Being a newbie, I went and turned on the switch for the hot water inside the bathroom, only for a moment out of curiosity. Then I heard a "small explosion". There was no water in the heater, so I have no idea what mistake I may have done. Your educated guess before I get this serviced? Yes, I wasn't feeling too brilliant that day. P.S. The trailer was using electric only.
Funny how you skipped over the hellish nightmare about trying to get the tabs, the springs and the plastic support collar all under the tabs they’re supposed to go under
