This time of year the diaphram in the propane regulator gets stiffer so on a bad regulator it makes it harder for appliances to work
I was wondering about things along this line.
I did not go into all my troubleshooting. It has been extensive.
One of the times I was turning things off and on in different orders I ended with the DSI fault cleared but the furnace would produce no heat. The furnace would come one when the temp dropped and it would blow air, but no heat. So I turned lots of things off and on again until the fault came back and my heat worked as expected.
The regulator that I have now is a
Cavagna Group 52-A-890-0007 Automatic Changeover Type 924N .
I can't find any reviews on it other than the three on the Amazon page saying it's junk and you should not buy it.
After looking at some reviews I was looking at a
Fairview RV Camper LP Propane 2 Stage Automatic Changeover Regulator .
Evidentially they use a lot of really super cheap parts on this thing. Last year, when it was only one year old, I had to replace both the pig tails within a month of each other b/c they both started leaking where the hose was mounted to the coupling for the tank. The folks in the parts dept said they should have lasted a lot longer than a year.
Should my next troubleshooting step be to replace the regulator?
