Replacement Thermocouple for Older Atwood Water Heater That Won't Turn On
Question:
I have been trouble shooting my 1995 Atwood water heater in my RV that has stopped turning on. So far I have replaced the thermostat and switch. Both parts were for Atwood 91447. Will this circuit board work with my model of water heater?

The Camco RV Water Heater Thermocouple # CAM09273 that you referenced should work without issue as a replacement on your older Atwood model water heater. This is really a universal component so it's just a matter of choosing one that's the right length. You can measure the existing part on your water heater to be sure.
This particular unit measures 18" long but it's also available in a 12" # CAM09253, 24" # CAM09293, 30" # CAM09313, 36" # CAM09333, and 48" # CAM09353. For the issue you described in your question a bad thermocouple is a pretty common culprit, so this should hopefully get your water heater back up and running.
