Review on πŸ”Œ Atwood 91365 Circuit Board Kit: Optimal Water Heater Performance with Gas/Electric 12 VDC Compatibility! by Russell Robertson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Direct replacement for Atwood P/N 90097. Easy installation.

Our 2015 Leprechaun had a water heater that didn't work. I tested the 140 degree thermostatic switch built into the TCO and ECO switch (180 degree emergency shutdown). Everything checked out fine. Still won't start on electricity or propane. Sometimes it tried to catch fire, but there was no gas and therefore no flame. Looking through various boards I found that this one is physically the same as the original, although as other reviews have noted some of the tops of some components are no longer covered in epoxy. This may be a design change to improve heat dissipation from some components prone to thermal fatigue. Nothing has yet been exposed that could be damaged or corroded by the weather. In the photo above, mine comes with a plug-in adapter and two spare board mounting screws, although I didn't need any of those. It was a direct replacement for my original board and the propane caught fire immediately. At the moment I'm only giving 4 stars because I can't confirm the durability of this part. But it certainly worked great and takes about 5 minutes to swap out. Photos from left to right: original board next to the adapter included in the new board, original board with P/N sticker, and new board installed. So if all goes well, my wife will literally be a "happy camper" thanks to a working water heater.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
