Atwood has had bad circuit boards.

This is info from an RV Tech:

"Yes, there is a problem with Atwood Water Heater boards.
As of 9/1/2018, most distributors should have the updated boards.
The problem is, Atwood has/had no way of determining which boards are defective. Originally, back in July, we were instructed by Atwood to get ALL replacement boards from the Manufacturing facility in Greenbriar, Tenn.
Atwood knew that those boards were the new updated.

ALL the distributors until 9/1/2018 would have the suspect bad boards. THAT is why there are multiple failures on the same water heater.
Even the boards the OEM RV makers had in their parts dept were bad."






You got bad boards.
Water heater has 2 yr warranty....have dealer get/install NEW board as per info posted above
