water heater on shore power

Have a new problem that has cropped up on our 2013 Freedom Elite 28Z w/ Atwood 6 gl hot water heater.

On propane, hot water heater works great. No issues.

On shore power, it works fine except...

Occasionally (~1-3 days), the "Pilot Out" indicator light comes on on the control panel and the hot water heater turns off. Initial condition is: propane switch off, 110 switch on. We know the water heater is off because we slowly run out of hot water.

Turning the 110 hot water heater switch off, then immediately back on turns the light off and the water heater back on.

The water heater has no pilot, it is DSI, so the indicator light is mis-labeled but that's not an issue.

Have checked the outside propane stuff and no indications of any close or worn wires. Haven't pulled the inside 110 panel off the water heater yet, but am about to.

Water tank is full, we are running off the pump and it is working fine, so don't suspect water level in the heater tank.

Have not noticed any power glitches or interruptions.

Was wondering if anyone had seen this before or had any specific ideas of what might be going on or what the indicator light is actually telling us.

TIA
Greg
