Dometic OD-5001 startup or lockout behavior

Use this when an OD-5001 on-demand water heater will not start normally, needs first-use air purge, fails ignition, or lights the optional lockout lamp.

Owner-safe checklist

  • Pressurize the water system and purge air from hot-water lines from normal faucets.
  • Confirm 12V power and LP supply using normal RV controls only.
  • Reset ignition only with the water-heater power switch after one failed start attempt.
  • Turn the appliance off and call service if overheating occurs, gas does not shut off, or lockout returns.
