I have an 8535-IV DCLP. When thermostat cycles it onn the fan is not starting. There's a buzz/clicking sound and then everything quits with a Fault Code indicatin "limit switch or airflow problems". Checked the sail switch with the VoM & it's good. Haven't tested the limit switch yet, but from your videos, I'm gathering that if the fan isn't running, it hasn't proceeded to the point where the limit switch would yet be a factor. Is that correct? What else should I be checking?

Good information. I’m just working on my 8525-IV. Don’t have a meter for testing. I’m not getting any ticking sounds before ignition. I can hear the sail switch then in all shuts off and I get an ignition fail code. I’m going to do the igniter, for you think the gas valve would be good as well? Do they tend die for no reason. This unit is very clean and was working perfectly all season. Then it just wouldn’t light.

this is more of a question, than a comment. I have a reoccurring problem with my Atwood Furnace, it seems that the exhaust tube is a bit critical on staying in, and it causes my furnace to not go through the light sequence. My first test since this is a reoccurring problem is to take the cover off and remove the exhaust pipe, and placing the exhaust tube back into place. My question should I replace the exhaust tube is or their something I should check. I have replace the cover screws as it has been remove so many times over the past 3 years of trouble shooting and having this chronic condition. Your channel is great and your trouble shooting techniques are dead on.

@@thecanadianrvrepairguy3062 The furnace will not fully sequence and ignite. It gets to the ignite stage and will then shut down. The exahust tube needs to be fully inserted into the receptical tube. It seems to rattle out just a little bit during transport or movement it seems to work fine for multiple times but will revert to not igniting. I have replaced the screws both on the cover and exhaust tube.

Test Results : clean furnace opened up 2 extra ducts, furnace runs fine with plastic service door open cycles on and off with it shut,hooked up 3 test leads 1 before sail 1 after sail 1 after limit switch.Limit switch cuts out within 3 minutes of shutting plastic cover.Nothing blocking air in.So, hotwired limit switch works fine.Do limit switches get lazy in their old age?

Need some help here so I did check the sail switch and limit switch with multimeter like in first video and both are working. I turn on the heater and it just blows cold air no heat not sure if it’s not igniting I do here a click a little after the blower comes on and the click comes back again few times but no heat at all. Could it be the ignitor itself or gas line or could it even be the Thermostat that’s not working properly. The heater was working on the unit prior and was working fine all of a sudden just stopped working and only blew cool air Anyone who can help me out point me to direction go now since I know both switches are working

The hard part is getting to the furnace. Mine is built in with access only on the inside where the ducts are, but nothing else. The outside just has a small hole for the exhaust, but no access door to reach the control board, gas, valve, sail switch, etc. Stupid design by Jayco.

Hey man great videos! Need some help. It’s 40 outside and I set my heat to 70 in the camper but it shuts off at 60 and will not cut back on unless I turn heat to off and then back to heat. But it still at that point will run for 10 mins max and shut back off. Why will it not stay running till my camper reaches the set temp? Thanks so much

So there are a few things I need to know first. When you say it runs for ten minutes and shuts off you mean the blower and everything or just the burner shuts off and the blower stays running. I also offer a $50 dollar phone consultation through PayPal.

J. René Godin Ok so that model has a fan control relay on it centre of the fan shroud. That being said if the furnace tries to light it three time and goes into a fault the fan will run until the power is turned off to it or the battery goes dead. I am assuming your board or igniter is faulty. Without doing a gas test to see if pressure is a problem or it could be a dirty burner.
