This video greatly helped me figure out what was going on with my water heater, turns out my board had finally went bad. Which after living in mine for over a year it's worked flawlessly so im impressed it lasted this long after purchasing my Coachmen Captiva RV used.

On my Atwood (propane only) the red light comes on when you first press it and then it cuts off after a couple seconds if the unit lit successfully.

Hello Mr. Air Force Guy. Thanks for this great video. Do you have the part number for this Atwood water heater? I have one just like it and I’m planning on replacing it soon. Thank you Sir.

Thank for watching. Unfortunately I do not. You could probably just call Atwood and they could give you the part number of one. Just let them know if it’s a 6 gallons or 10 gallon water heater Best of Luck

So basically when you do your walk thru inspection after buying a new travel trailer, if the technician tells you to hold the bypass valve open until you see water coming out is the wrong thing to do. You are saying turn the water on from the water source open up the a faucet until you see water come, and then turn the electric side on to the water heater. Thank you!

Atwood water heater is heating but no water is going into water heater. Hooked up to city water. Steady Cold stream at faucets. Worked a month ago. Got more propane and now water heater is not filling. No water coming out at pressure relief valve?

Check your by-pass valve. If you had it on electric without any water in it then you will need a new element. It burns up in seconds. One must make sure you have water in the water heater before you turn it on. Hope all turns out well. Good Luck!

@@TheAirForceGuy how do you know if you have water in heater? Its hooked up to city water. Nothing comes out of the pressure relief valve. Does that mean there is no water in the tank. I'm getting a steady stream out of the hot water faucet and I read if that happens with no air that it means you're tank is full. Also the water heater tank is getting hot so does that mean the element is good. Or would a bad check valve not let hot water out of the tank. Sorry for all the questions. Bypass valve is in the right position. One valve system.

Great Info! I have an issue I have hot water pouring out of my Pressure valve sometimes. I think I only have the propane option, that is the only time it is hot, And I am connected to electricity. It seems the water heater only fires up when the RV air heater is on, but now the water from the pressure valve is blowing out the flame and I smelled gas today from it so I turned off the heater and gas. I only have one heater button on this 200 coachman Pathfinder that i see. I don't have a manual so I don't have much Help. All I really need is the heater fro the RV i don't need the how water, but no way to turn that option off. Thanks Any Input from you would help :).

How do you determine if the tank is over filled? How do you correct it if it is? My Atwood heater kept relighting itself. As if it couldnt keep the temperature at some setting. I opened the air valve to get a larger flame, bluish, and thought that fixed it, but I keep hearing it cycle on about every ten minutes. Just had the logic board replaced too.

1987 Fleetwood jamboree rallye ford E350 hot water heater issues, a RV dealer said we have a attwood 6 gallon water heater but that it doesn't need a anode rod,it's gas and electric, leaking from the gas hose at the valve connection to the tank. The aluminum tank has rust on the outside of the tank. Do I install a anode rod anyway once I change gas valve burner and igniter? How do I address the leak also of the gas tube??

Just checked my panel. It’s normal if you have a separate “FAULT” or “DSI Fault” lamp. I’m going to turn off my LP and attempt to ignite gas to see what happens. I’m betting the “On” lamp stays lit and the fault light comes on also. Hope that helps.
