Angry Attwood on demand hot water heater

We have an Attwood on demand Hot water heater. Seems sometimes you have to hit reset button to get hot water. Its the ECO pressure switfch with reset button. Could it be a bad switch?

No, it's just a terrible water heater. We had the same problem. Ours also had awful temperature control. We replaced it with a Truma AquaGo and it is wonderful.

Steve speaketh the truth. I had my two-month-old Atwood OD-50 thrown in the trash rather than resell it so I wouldn't have on my conscience that someone else was inflicted by that worthless pile of camel dung masquerading as a water heater. I got a Truma AquaGo Comfort and could not be more pleased.

My Atwood was working fine after 3-4 service calls and phone calls to Atwood. They said I needed a certain water flow. Worked on that and it worked fine. All of a sudden, acouldnt give me more than Luke warm water. Now what? It is brand new in
A brand new rig. Service guys at the dealer are Luke warm as well! We r on the road. Could elevation have something to do with it?

Sorry to say, but in my opinion there is no solution for the problems with the Atwood Instant Hot Water
Heater. It is junk. It is sad that many of us have been stuck with this problem :(

A lawyer as in a class action would be the choice with a better chance of success.
