Furnace Question


Recommended Posts

The basic Question is this: Will my atwood furnace cycle (blow air, and try to light) if it is not hooked up to gas??

Does your heater cycle (or try to turn on) if the gas is shut off

I replaced my blower motor, and I get nothing, no motor coming on, no nothing. I have 13+ volts at the unit and plenty of gas.

I think its time to bring the heater to a =n RV place.

Thanks for the help!!!

Answer is "yes." If you have electronic ignition - the as soon as there is power and the thermostat calls for heat - the blower comes on. Before it comes on the sail switch must be "open." Then when the wind starts - the sail switch "closes" and sends a signal to the gas valve and the igniter (via the control board). If no flame within X amount of seconds (like from no gas) - it all shuts down.
