I have this Atwood 6gal propane water heater that I installed in 2012. I put a timer in series with the 12v power. When I get up the morning I set the timer to 15min, enough time to heat the water for shaving and breakfast dishes, but will not run all day. Until a year ago worked perfect. Lately, I set the timer for 15 min, and after 10 minutes the flame shuts off and red light comes on. It will then cycle 3 times trying to restart. It does restart all three times with flame but only lasts for about 10seconds, and then will not restart. If I shut power off for 10 minutes or so, it will restart and run for the additional 5 minutes I need to get water to desired temp. I have replaced the igniter when I found that the ground had broken off and worked Ok for about three times out, then went back to shutting down after 10 minutes. Any ideas? TIA
