Atwood Hydro Flame Furnace just quit

[rvingnuts]

A few weeks ago we used our furnace(Atwood Hydro Flame)and all was fine. Last week we turned it on and it won't do anything. Have plenty of propane, thermostat is working. Have power to the circuit board because LED light flashes fast when first turned on then goes to a steady single slow flash. Fuses are good. Cleaned out the furnace compartment. Any thoughts appreciated.

The circuit board has quit flashing completely and the thermostat is not working. Could it possibly be the thermostat? Working on it this weekend and the thermostat is no longer even clicking. We can't get the A/C, or the fan to come on. Where does the thermostat get it's power and is there a way to bypass it to test? We have a permanent site so we are connected to shore power all the time. New battery and a new converter we installed Spring 2014.

there was a similar thread a couple of weeks ago;

You have a bad connections somewhere; I removed the furnace cover (outside) and removed/reinserted each of the connectors. There is also a resetable switch by the fan - I turned this off/on and the furnace started working.

(I checked my furnace yesterday and it's still working)

Furnace uses 12V DC power for operation
The 12V DC power can come from good charged battery when not on shore power
The 12V DC power can come from converter when connected to shore power

DO you hear it clicking trying to start up...

The control board usually trys three clicks before quitting...

Also we always burn the stove burners the first time we start up on a trip. This burns out all of any trapped air in the propane lines...

You should also hear the lower fan kick pn prior to firing the furnace flame.... There is a SAIL SWITCH the fan has to move before it will ignite the furnace... Might find that and make sure it isn't filled up with rash or something...

Most often when you hear about these not working it has to do with the battery drained down.

you must have a good charged 12v battery EVEN when on shore power.
