I have a 2015 23RB with an Atwood GC6AA-10E hot water heater. This is the version with a spark ignition, not a pilot light. There was no problem using the hot water heater on electric and/or propane the first two days of use. On our last outing, it would not maintain a flame in propane mode, but electric is fine.
Here are a few details of what I am observing:
* the propane tank is near full and good pressure based on all other appliances operating on propane without issues
* there is a strong flame during the spark ignition that lasts 6 to 8 seconds when the switch is activated
* the flame extinguishes after the 6 to 8 seconds of spark ignition
So far I have checked the seating of the connectors on the circuit board, confirmed 12V to the circuit board, confirmed gap and position of the spark probe (ignitor), replaced the spark probe based on technical advice already received and ensured a good ground at the ground screw.
Words of wisdom would be appreciated on how to address this issue.
