2015 Thor Vegas Furnace prob.?

This is the 1st trip I've needed to use the Atwood furnace in our Thor Vegas 24.1. If dry outside it works fine. If it rains or snows, as here in Flagstaff, Az., it trys to come on, the fan runs & the fire ignites, but fire goes off after about 1 minute. Resetting the thermostat will cause it to try again with same results??? :?

    Do you have enough propane? Is the propane tank turned on?

    Are you saying it works except when it rains?

    Aside from the previous post about checking to ensure your LP is turned on - and the line bled, is anything blocking the vent and is your lp detector working and not blocked?

    If it's under warranty I wouldn't mess with it too much. Let the dealer fix it.

    May also be your regulator freezing up. Maybe check its location and wrap some insulation around it to see if that helps.

    If the fan comes on but there is no flame, it could be the sail switch. If the sail switch isn't closing, it will cause a shut down. The limit switch will shut it down too.

    HERE is a troubleshooting guide. Maybe it will help.
