Water Heater Problem
Yahoo Message Number: 103019
While getting ready for a short camping trip, I checked the water heater and found it did not work.  No spark, so flame - nothing.
Based on researching past letters on this forum, I checked the usual stuff - voltage, clean contacts, fuses - everything looked good.  I called the local RV repair place and they suggested checking the ECO switch.  They said it might need to be reset.  This switch is located next to the tank under a protective flap of sponge, or something.  I removed it, but didn't see anything to reset.  I checked the continuity and it was good.  Now I'm thinking the problem is the circuit board ($$$).  I reinstalled the ECO, and Voila!  it worked! In removing the ECO I must have reset it.

I pass this along for what its worth if your WH is not working.

Sorry if this seams like a mundane question, but can someone guide me to where this Eco switch might be located on a Atwood water heater in a 1986 FL?

Thank You
