Not sure if this will help but it comes from the Atwood owner's manual:

ELECTRONIC IGNITION MAINTENANCE
• The water heater comes factory-equipped with a fused circuit board,
which will protect the circuit board from wiring shorts. If the fuse
should activate, the water heater will not operate. Before replacing
the fuse, check for a short external to the board. Once the short is
corrected, replace the 2 amp fuse with a mini ATO style fuse. Do not
install a fuse larger than 3 amps.
• If the fuse is good and the unit is inoperative, check for excessively
high voltage to the unit (more than 14 volts).
• If the previous two steps did not solve the problem, check the
thermal cut-off (FIG 3-I). The thermal cutoff is a device installed in the
power supply line. This device will shut off electrical power and stop
heater operation when activated. For example, if an obstruction
within the flue tube should occur, as described in the Preventative
Maintenance section, the burner flame/heat may contact the cutoff,
resulting in a melting of the fuse element incorporated in the
thermal cutoff. In order to restore power and proper operation of the
water heater, the obstruction must be removed and the thermal
cutoff must be replaced.

If the formatting is screwed up it is due to the cut and paste from the manual to the forum.
