attwood furnace motors fail to start

the 2006 pace arrow has 2 gas furnaces. both furnaces failed at same time. the rv dealer said the control board was replaced in one of the furnaces and the other furnace was reset. both operated at the dealership and then failed again after returning home. the trouble code indicated no air flow. neither furnace motor will run. both have at least 12vdc at the input terminals.
  • No air flow may be a stuck sail switch, obstruction in inlet air duct, failed fan motor. Is there a separate on board fuse or in the fan wiring? I would make sure you're working with a set of fully charged batteries, initially.

    If the furnaces have made three attempts to start, it may be necessary to reset them. There are different ways to reset, depending on model of furnace. Can you find the Model # and post it up. If you're lucky, one of the furnace experts on the Forum will log in and lead you through the diagnosis and repair. I'm not that guy.
  • No power to the furnace
    Thermostat not sending message to start the furnace.
    I am guessing that the thermostat needs to be reset. What make and model of thermostat and does it control the AC units as well?
  • thermostat is ICM controls AM7812. it controls 2 ac as well the furnaces in 2 zones
  • I didn't find much information on your thermostat.
    I would suggest you try to reset it.
    Turn system to off
    Remove cover
    There should be a fuse (on many anyway) Remove it for a minute or two
    Re-install fuse and let system think for a while, maybe 5-10 minutes, Short cup of coffee will do.
    Start system and see if it comes alive.
