Dometic OD-5001 rapidly cycles on and off

Use this when an OD-5001 burner starts but cycles rapidly during hot-water use.

Owner-safe checklist

  • Open the hot-water outlet enough to keep steady flow through the heater.
  • Clean faucet aerators or shower screens only where they are owner-accessible.
  • Avoid operating the heater below the minimum flow described by Dometic support.
  • Call service if rapid cycling continues after restoring normal water flow.
