SOURCE: Atwood water heater - pilot light and flame malfunction

Michael,
The thermocouple sensor may not be in the best position to sense that the pilot is lit.
Adjust the thermocouple mount or simply bend the thermocouple "wire" so that the pilot flame is touching the tip.

SOURCE: Have an G6A-8E Atwood water heater. It Starts fine...

If it has the little thermal cut-off in power wire to thermostat (has a little plastic jacket over it) try removing it, and connect female spade from power wire, directly to male spade on thermostat, and see what happens. Also, make sure electrode is positioned in flame good for flame sensing properly.

SOURCE: Atwood GC6AA-9E water heater isnt working properly

The ignitor is also a flame sensor. If it's not working to ignite, good chance it's not sensing flame to keep gas flowing as well. Could also be board.

SOURCE: atwood water heater lights and goes off. i can hit

Remove the wires at both ends of the thermal cut-off that is located in the little plastic sleeve below the pressure relief valve area and it's connected to spade connector on thermostat disc. Once removed, connect the female spade from wire to male spade on thermostat disc, and try to light now. If all's o.k. replace thermal cut-off as it is a safety feature to protect in case of flame up.
If not, get back to me.

My camper water heater with electronic ignition lights for a short few second burst 3 times and then times out due to heater switch inside camper..why

Sounds like it may be a dirty flame sensor. It can be gently cleaned with steel wool or scotch bright pad (not emery or sand paper). Its a small rod that sits in the flame. I believe it is part of the spark ignition assembly on your model. Only open your burner compartment though if your are certain you have the skills (and perhaps gaskets etc) to reassemble it safely.

God bless

Atwood 7920-11 furnace will not light. I am trying to light the furnace on my 2006 Jayfeather 19H camper that is an Atwood and looks to be an automated pilot lighting system but I continually get a flame...

Your electrode acts as flame sense as well. Remove electrode and clean it thoroughly/carefully especially at end where flame would be sensed and retry. Be sure connections on high tension wire is good and clean as well as connector and contacts on circuit board as well. If still same result, replace electrode.

Getting hot water at out of the cold faucets. Bought a brass check valve from rv dealer as they said that was the problem but I don't see one to replace.

Open following link for Atwood troubleshoot resources to identify product and look at manual with parts lists.

It sounds like you have crossover problem, so dealer is saying to install check valve on the cold water line.
