Atwood stove problem

[Lazy Lynn]

I have noticed that when using the high output burner on my stove. If I turn another burner on it cuts the output of the high output burner by a lot. Like maybe down to the #4 setting. Any ideas of what the problem could be?

Lazy Lynn-

While waiting for someone who knows anything to show up, I'll ask you if hot water heater and furnace are on at the same time you're trying to cook? If they are, try turning them off temporarily and see if the burner problem persists.

Another idea is to shut everything off, close the propane tank valve completely, then open it slowly until fully open. It seems to me that our 1998 Lazy Daze didn't have one of those high-flow protection devices on the propane, but maybe your newer coach does. The high-flow device is intended to cut flow if a pipe breaks, but sometimes it interprets a sudden valve opening as a break and shuts down the flow. This is likely NOT the cause of your symptom. As I said, we're waiting for someone who knows anything to show up. ;-)

By the way, on our LD I found that the Atwood oven knob was mis-marked, so that the oven ran substantially colder than marked. Atwood figured out the problem (incorrect knob installed), but by the time we bought the coach the correct knobs were no longer available. I tested and made a paper strip to tape to the old knob, with correct markings. If you should find the same oven behavior, you know what's behind it.

Thanks for the info. And I believe the hot water tank was running. I will try your suggestions and see what happens.
