Frequently Asked Questions
Will this switch work with both gas and electric water heaters?
Yes, this dual rocker switch is designed for Atwood water heaters that have both gas and electric heating capabilities. One rocker controls the gas operation, while the other controls the electric heating element. You can use either independently or both together for faster heating.
How do I know if my switch needs replacement?
Common signs include switches that don't click properly, fail to turn on the water heater, feel loose or wobbly, show visible cracks or discoloration, or don't illuminate indicator lights when activated. If your water heater works when you bypass the switch but not through normal operation, the switch is likely the problem.
Is this difficult to install for someone with basic RV maintenance skills?
Most RV owners with basic electrical knowledge can replace this switch. The installation involves disconnecting the old switch wiring, removing the failed switch from the panel, installing the new switch in the same location, and reconnecting the wires to the appropriate terminals. Always disconnect power at the breaker before working on any electrical components.
Does this switch fit 6-gallon Atwood water heaters?
This switch is specifically designed for Atwood 4E and 10E series models. For 6-gallon models, verify your water heater's exact model number and check compatibility. If you're unsure about fitment, contact our parts specialists with your water heater model information for confirmation.
