furnace freeze?

I suppose it possible that the water in the propane tank that made the ice that froze up the regulator also got to the control valve for the furnace and froze in there as well. But, you'd think it would melt out after awhile if it's warm inside the camper.

In your original post you stated that the regulator was freezing. Now you say it's not freezing up.

We can't help you fix it if we don't know what's broke.

I've seen regulators freeze up when it's 50F outside. The furnace is a completely different issue.

The best way to test for freezing is to light all of the burners on your cook top. If the regulator is freezing, the flames will decrease or possibly go out after less than 5 minutes.

are double sure your battery is good?

I don't think there is anything you can do externally.
As long as you have good battery voltage (12+) and propane that is about all you can do.

Take notes on the actual sounds is best I can say.
Such as blower starts, click of a relay, igniter sparking etc.

I'm in southern PA. I don't think it's the regulator though b/c I'm getting fuel to my water heater and stove. The furnace just keeps failing at firing off for some reason. Almost sounds like it's not getting enough fuel when the pilot lights.

Where are you that a regulator is freezing? Could it be that you have a failing regulator and the cause isn't from cold weather?

Disconnect power from furnace and then reconnect to reset the controls.

Will do....will have to just cut breaker. Furnace is completely hidden behind the cabinetry. We have warmer weather today so it may be okay tonight.....just wondering if there is anything I can do to avoid this problem.

If your regulator is freezing, you need to get the moisture out of the tank. Any propane dealer (not just someone who fills tanks) should know how to do it.

Have you tried a different propane tank? You might have moisture in the tank.

Yup tried both.
