Troubleshooting an Atwood Water Heater
Updated 09/29/2025 | Published 09/11/2025
Question:
The Atwood hot water tank goes on for just a few moments and then shuts off so I only get a few moments of warm water and then its cold again. The RV repair man adjusted the air but that didnt help. Do you have an idea as to what the problem could be?

Hey Mary. Did the repairman check your gas pressure? It could be that or the thermocoupler. What model Atwood water heater do you have?
