Repairing Hydroflame furnace FA-7615
Hooked up a Hydroflame FA 7615 furnace to electric and gas and the blower works ok however it won't ignite. Tried several times as sometimes furnaces take a few tries before they will ignite the burner. However I'm not hearing and clicking from the igniter.
I need to pull it out in order inspect the entire furnace however whoever built the camper decided the furnace needs to stay mounted where it's at as they didn't leave any room to pull it out. The only way to remove it would be to cut it out either from the side or front.
Perhaps older B-Vans were made like this, without accessible furnaces? It's installed in a 88 Okanagan.
I did find a repair manual. Appears it needs a cleaning and various parts inspected and tested.
Has quite a few parts to look at. Perhaps the problem is only with the sail or limit switch or perhaps the burner requires cleaning. However I would like to become more familiar with how it operates by first removing it from it's installed location.
What I'll probably need to to is rebuild the cabinet it's installed in so can be easily pulled out and accessible. The only area it's currently accessible is from the opening for the front vent, which the furnace is too large to fit through.
I have worked a little with RV furnaces in the past i.e. to clean burners and replace blower motors and have a larger furnace in another RV I'm going to be working on but first need to pull this one to get a better view of it as it's takes up approx. 2 - 2.5 feet in a narrow space underneath the sink and control center with little and no access. There is some access in the front for the control board, igniter and gas valve.
I did find a parts schematic with parts list and also a service manual.
