Daydreamer furnace wont ignite

Right, fall has arrived and it's time to migrate south but not quite yet so I hit the swich to fire up the furnace to take the chill out and all I get is fan, no heat. Any suggestions??
  • The blowing air from the fan has to activate the sail switch before ignition.

    Are your batteries very good?
    Are you plugged in?
  • Was your exhaust vent open all summer? May have an obstruction in it, like a mud dauppers nest...happened to me once...fan fires up, tried to ignite and just went back out...but it DID try to ignite...had to pull the exhaust pipe out and was able to break loose the nest...presto, worked great afterward...I cover it with white duct tape in summer months.....

    ......or as other posted, might be an issue on your circuit board.

    hope you get it fixed soon and to your liking.
  • I checked the exhaust and it's clear, I tried starting it with all the other propane appliances working and nada, then I cycled it three times and on the third time it ignited and I felt hot air coming from the vent then after thirty seconds or so the burner shut off.
