Dometic OD-5001 temperature fluctuates during use

Use this when an OD-5001 burner runs but hot-water temperature fluctuates erratically.

Owner-safe checklist

  • Reduce outlet restrictions by cleaning owner-accessible showerhead screens, faucet aerators, or strainers.
  • Keep hot-water flow steady and avoid partially restricted fixtures during testing.
  • Stop use if water temperature becomes unsafe or unpredictable.
  • Call service if temperature swings continue after normal outlet restrictions are cleared.
