water heater not working with LP or Ele
Just saw that the issue was the thermostat....good to hear and easy to fix.
For anyone else having issues with water heater...I’ll leave this link and post.
The ignitor boards on those things are horrendous. Check everything first but I am guessing you simply have a bad ignitor board and that needs replaced. GD will most likely replace it with the same kind under warranty. Or like I did, i replaced mine with a bullet proof (more or less) Dinosaur board. Made in the USA (not in china like the Atwood.)Mine went out in year #2 of my last trailer and I swapped it out with the new 31MB we purchased about a month ago.
I have no financial interest in this. Just that it works and it so much more solid than that piece of junk that comes on the water heater. Super easy to install also.

I am waiting for my igniter board to fail so I carry a UIB64 Dinosaur Electronics board as a spare. I am the only one left in our camping group where the Atwood igniter board has not failed. Everyone else has switched to the UIB64 board and has been very happy.

I had this happen to me some time ago on our 349M. Found by reading the manual that you can reset the system but you will need to read the manual for your heater to see exactly how to do it. Took me a couple of times but after reset it heated up fine. I think my having the 110v power to the heater turned on without water in it for a few minutes tripped the system causing me to need to reset it. At least it didn't burn up the 110v heating element.

You guys have my head spinning. I am like 9 days in with my new 2020 Imagine 2800. Water was real hot yesterday and today, nothing. Was running electric only and open the LP and turned on gas. No hot water.
Open the panel...see the pilot but looked all around and don't see any valve switch not button to depress so I could try lighting it.
Will look at a couple things you guys mentioned before I toss in the towel and call repair man.

It's like Déjà vu all over again! I replaced the thermostat and ECO; (it's the one next to the thermostat) and that fixed it. They come as a set so I recommend you replace both of them. Part number is Dometic GC6AA-10E.
The water heater is set at the factory to 140 degrees and I don't think you can change that. There is no pilot light button to press and hold down, it too is automatic and factory set. Drove myself nuts looking for anything that resembled the manual.
Hope this helps more than hurts... I'm not a tech, I'm just reading what the repairman wrote on the insurance form when he charged me $212.00 to replace an $8.00 part.

Thanks. If a past is needed, then I'll push the shop ro do it. I dropped a lot 9 days ago and shouldn't need to spend more.

Being that your water was real HOT and then stopped points directly to the ECO/Thermo being bad - just keep in mind everyone there are two of these - they look alike but they are not....one is for 120VAC and the other 12VDC do not mix these if you replace.

I went through manual and several other recommended steps. I am in the same thought that something has failed and I have a call into mobile tech.

Talk with Grand Design first....they may be able to provide a name for one in your area that they recommend and they should cover the cost to repair and sometimes the mobile fee. If not when you talk with the Mobile Tech two things 1) ask them what their mobile fee is and 2) are they an authorized Suburban/Dometic (Dometic bought Suburban) dealer. If they are an authorized dealer the repair again should not cost you a thing - just the mobile fee.
Good Luck
