Hey I'm having almost the exact situation in my 97 Tioga Class C, except mine just cycles twice then gives up. It lights, stays lit for about a minute or less, then goes out, it lights again for a minute then goes out and stops cycling. If I go to the outside access door and flip the switch out there it seems to reset and does the same two cycles again with the same results. During all this, the blower in the furnace is running fine but just blowing cold air since the the flame keeps going out. In reading some of the comments in this thread, are you guys saying I can remove the furnace and clean it?
That switch in your outside access is a slow blow style CB/On-Off switch.
If you are having to reset it i norder for furnace to do a relight then you have a motor/circuit problem. That switch being slow blow type has to see excessive amp draw over a period of time to trip.
Could be low DC voltage issue causing high amp draw, could be really dirty blower/combustion wheels causing motor drag or could be motor going bad.
Yes you can pull furnaces to clean them..course depending on furnace some are easier than others.
Google your Brand & model for manual.....or post what you have.
