furnace

2008 Fleetwood Discovery. Last used our furnace in April. Worked just fine. Turned it on this past weekend, nothing happened. No fan, no heat. Checked breakers and fuses. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks. Todd.
  • T-stat....
    Select HEAT
    When you move temp set point UP (higher then room temp to HEAT room up) do you hear a 'click' at the t-stat?

    If yes......
    Then furnace fan should come on and blow cold air for 30-90 seconds (purge cycle)then propane ignitor should fire (Click, Click, Click at furnace) and burner light off

    No click at t-stat...
    Feeder DC Fuse bad. It would be in the DC Dist Panel...individual fuse 7.5A minimum or a 15A fuse (test it don't just look at it)

    Click at t-stat but no furnace fan
    Then the On/Off Circuit Breaker on furnace frame may need reset (open furnace access panel and push button in to reset)

    OR time delay relay is bad (either a stand alone component or incorporated on to circuit board ---blower power)

    DC comes from feeder fuse to timed delay relay/blower power on circuit board and to t-stat.
    DC power to fan goes thru relay/blower power WHEN triggered by DC from t-stat

    For specifics post Brand/Model of furnace
  • Last one I fixed did what OB said fan came on no fire installed new circuit board and all was well
    agree with OB on resettable 12V circuit breaker I never thought about it have a reset breaker on the furnace itself ?? maybe good to take a check on that
