Re: Atwood Furnace
Ok thanks so far for advice, I will try to find or purchase a 1/4” socket and maybe get circuit boards out , but still think it is more likely to be the sparkler com censor as it dos start and heat for about 5 seconds but could also possibly be board, I will try to get gas valve etc out to inspect and clean first. Thanks Frank.744Views0likes0CommentsAtwood Furnace
Atwood hydro flame model 2334. Furnace did not appear to be heating properly, came home and washed FW then tried to start it again, but with no success, removed outside cover and found som water inside being splattered around by the blower and combustion wheel. Vacuumed and blew it out and tried again. I managed to get it to start again but only for about 4-5 seconds cut out and did again 3times before stopping. Red light flash 2 times for a soft lockout ignition failure. But it started as I could hear the flame roar and feel the exhaust being hot before cutting out. I suspect the flame sensor? . I also found some evidence of wasp nests so trying to remove gas valve etc but can’t find a socket to fit the screws at back which holds it in. Size of socket please and am I on the right track. As I am in Australia I am in a bit of a pickle. Thanks for any help Frank.1.4KViews0likes7CommentsRe: Leaf Spring Failure - Replace the Others?
My 05 FW had made in China springs and I broke 2 at different times always where second leaf ended, not overloaded. Has operated current FW with extra long second leaf that extends to where main leaf is attached, we call it military wrapped. And no issue. Frank.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Roof tear along edge ...
I have a similar tear along edge on my FW, I repaired with Eternabond tape without going under the moulding on side, then applied self levelling Dicor to edge has been there for several years, was told also that roof had to be replaced and insurance not willing to pay more than 50% Frank487Views0likes0CommentsRe: best way to recover a roof
Gdetrailer so what you are saying is that it is a waste of time painting anything as it will not stick and wash off. I hope you didn’t pay for paint on your vehicle or your home. Yes there is prosesses for applications of most coatings and everything has a limited lifespan but maintenance do extend this.

Many people in Australia has installed the household inverter type revers cycle 240V air conditioning in there FW, and also now’s of one using the roof type cassette, not heard of any failure for several years. I and many others have also installed household 240V inverter refrigerator which runs of a 350-375W inverter. Frank.269Views0likes0CommentsRe: first commercially available all electric RV
I just went back to manufacturer site, and the solar capacity is stated as 1600-2000-or2400W So I don’t know where you get only 600W. Anyway I am not buying one and nor are you obviously. It is clear that some on hear have not got much idea about new technology and the rest of the world. Frank.559Views0likes0Comments
