Atwood 8500-IV furnace problem
Need a little help. We have a 2005 National Sea Breeze LX with an Atwood Hydro Flame 8500-IV series furnace. The furnace has been causing us problems for some time and hoping someone can offer some ...

Because the breaker is defective, the voltage is cut going through it- it is a high resistance circuit. Once you have less than optimal voltage feeding the system, all kinds of things happen- like the time delay relay acting funky.
Now it could be the time delay relay itself- why I suggest replacing the circuit breaker with a fuse.
However, if the breaker is soldered in the system, it has been heavily modified, as this was never done at the factory. In this case, all bets are off.

You may be correct about the weak breaker, but I will have to challenge you about soldering never being done at the factory. I purchased this coach new in 2005, The only soldering that has been done on the circuit breaker was done to repair a wire solder that had worked loose because of a poor soldering job at the factory. In addition there are approximately 25 circuit breakers ranging from 7 amps to 15 amps on the panel in a compartment in the coach. ALL of the wires are soldered to the various circuit breakers.
