Water heater issues

My 6gal Atwood water heater in my 2005 Safari won’t shut down. I’ve replaced the ECO and thermostat and adjusted the burner. The heater ignites and burns good. After about a half hour the relief valves starts to drip so I turn the switch off. Any ideas what to try next? Replace circuit board? Replace gas valve?
Thanks

With it running, try pulling one of the leads off of either the thermostat or the eco switch. If it shuts down, then it’s operating normally if it doesn’t, then the likely suspect is the board.

The drip from the valve may just be crud on the valve seat. With the system cold, try opening it and letting it run for a few seconds and the let it snap closed…
