2015 FWC Atwood water heater 6 gallons I have the inside switch to electronic ingintion. How long does yours run to heat six gallons and burner turn off?

Maybe I haven't let it run long enough to shut off but it gets scalding hot after about 30-40 minutes. Does yours turn back on automatically when it cools off? My Hawk is a 2015 model but I doubt they changed the water heater.Wallowa said:Odd...my '16 Hawk hot water heater [Atwood] has a temp shut off....
Also a trick in case of expected cold nights to prevent or lessen the chance of freezing of the plumbing is to heat up the full 6 gallons and dump the 5 gallons that will come out into the 20 gallon water tank....repeat as needed.
