John Daniel, any ideas on a heater that only works when you pull the board plate and cover down? My guess is airflow but I’m not sure. Thanks !

John Daniel could you please help me. Our 2000 Colemans furnace/ac aren't working. We thought wed start with the thermostat but putting a new one in had no effect and still does absolutely nothing. Doesnt even attempt to start. Please help. We are living in it now and really need this to work without a complete replacement. Thanks in advance

John Daniel, I need help trying to find the exhaust tubing that is on the inside of my furnace. Would you know where I could find it? It's 1"3/8 od by 14" long. Please help. 🙏

I've been pulling my hair out for months trying to get a Duo Therm 66117 running in the old Skamper popup I bought last summer. I've read the manual, read every forum thread, and watched ever video I can find on these. No matter what I tried the dang thing would not run more than a few seconds before it would blow the flame out, do the single retry, then lock itself out. Unless I pulled the unit out of the camper and ran it on an external propane supply, then it ran fine. That pointed to a problem with the camper's propane supply pressure so I completely redid everything there and still the same result. I even pulled the camper's propane bottle and regulator to do the bench test and it was fine, just not when installed in the cabinet. I tested the sail switch, the gas valve, the line pressure, tried adjusting the burner pipe's intake air damper a few different ways, and nothing worked. I must have had that thing pulled out and back in six times before I realized the dang flue pipe telescopes in and out of the combustion chamber. Turns out when it was installed it wasn't quite poking all the way into the center of the direct vent fitting on the outside of the camper, and there was just enough of a gap there that as soon as the flame lit, it would start sucking exhaust gas into the combustion air intake, which would suffocate the flame within seconds. It was a bear getting the flue pipe centered and pulled all the way into the external housing but as soon as I accomplished that the heater ran like a champ. If anything at 17kBtu it's way too big for this tiny camper but I'll probably never use it for more than taking the edge off when I get up on a cold morning. I'm just glad I finally figured out what the problem was.

I like this guy he's thorough but at the same time quick he gets to the point I like that. Keep it up buddy.

You fogot to mention that sometimes the sail switch will have dog hair or dust that prevents contact and a simple cleaning will make furnace work👍

You rock sir. As a semi clueless self repair person I was able to follow your instructions easily. I may have missed an instruction about the " reset " button ? Maybe it's called one of those other names for stuff to check. Anyhow. Your easy to follow instructions helped me find a white button . I pushed it as a last ditch attempt before yanking out the whole heater Assembly. We are back up and toasty warm again. Thank you. Also thanks to your other people comments. That was another big help. 🙃🙃🙃

Thank You. Lots of great tips on what to check before wasting money on the wrong parts. This knowledge and these skills are becoming a rare commodity in our "throw it away and get a new one world."

My RV sat unused inside from 2004 until this year when I bought it. Checking everything out the furnace worked initially then stopped for some reason. I pulled it out and checked sail switch and others and all checked out. Completely disassembled and cleaned an unreal amount of bugs and nest out of the heating chamber. Has worked flawless ever since and it's an older unit a 1997. For do it yourselfers your videos are a huge savings in time and money..thank you

YOU WENT WAY BEYOND NAILING IT ! YOU SUPREMELY NAILED IT ! Subscribed before the video finished... I'm now a CERTIFIED RV furnace tech !

This video is incredible for overall troubleshooting but c'mon people, he ain't the google machine! If you need to know where a part is on your specific model look up the schematics for chrysler sake! I found the schematics for my apartment furnace manufactured in 1972. Detailed enough for someone with zero experience to troubleshoot and rewire it. This video right here is an awesome lesson, wisdom you won't find in a manual, don't pollute it with silly questions you could find on search page 1!

John ,Thank You , Heater Is Running On The Test Bench ! Getting Ready To Install ! Thanks You Again !

Micro Switches have a million uses. I have a bucket full of them stashed. Every dead microwave has at least two or three in it to save.

Yes, it was my mother board that was defective. Changed it out, and everything worked.

Thank you there John. My great, great grandad was named John Daniel!

Thank you very much for the brutal honest problems that can come up. I been looking for that relay switch with no luck. I have an older RV and thank you very much for your knowledge in replacing and thank you for the link.

Found you great video when I encountered furnace problems tonight. Will be ordering all these parts to have on hand for my furnace. My prob was easy fix...Bus wasn't level so was throwing off my temp switch. Instead of leveling bus I just took all but 1 screw out and swiveled the thermostat level.

Thank you.i payed 400.00 for a fan relay switch one year now I know.THANK YOU now I know.

Is the blower supposed to keep running after the thermostat is satisfied

My board relay had fine cracked solder joints. Fixed the ignition and gas valve, but my gas valve goes poot and stops, fires and goes out. Going to check that sail switch business tomorrow. Thank you.

With a multi meter, check your active voltage conditions. Test the wire to the solenoids on the gas valve, see if after they activate, volts drop real low. Below 11. If so, you have to find where they are loosing contact to be weaker in the system. Usually carbon build up on relays is the cause.

Thank u for ur time & expertise! It’s So appreciated....

Thanks for the video John! It helped me diagnose my old Duo-Therm and the limit switch you gave a link for fixed the problem.

John! U r the man! My 1st purchase 40 ft HR IMPERIAL..many small electronics issues. I NEED YOU BAD!!. thanks for taking the time to explain this ...now atleast I won't freeze. Im currently desperately trying to figure out and I derstand the B.I.R.D. system on This thing. I'm going. Through batteries like my ex with vibratory bats. And all the relays that are for the ignition system. 1997 holiday rambler imperial. 8.3 cummins mechanical. I bought it when my mother died and I sold everything to live ring. And It's sentimental and very comfortable.. so it's not going anywhere..thanks.

Thanks for keeping it simple and for the money saving tips

Cleaned our furnace and it's working.so thanks to all.

Friend , your video had more info than anyplace I've looked so far. Your camera work had me fast forwarding too often. Get a tripod then you win ! BTW... Nailed the diagnosis on my sail switch ! Thanks...

Outstanding teaching video, going to troubleshoot my RV furnace!

Thanks for posting.

Thanks for all the info. It was really useful. I just bought a 14 year old popup camper so all you mentioned will be hopeful. The pigtail leaked when I hooked it up for the first time so after I change that then I expect something else to go wrong. Now i know that to expect

Over the last 12 years working as an RV tech i have replaced 2 or 3 thermal disks, i few fan relays, now they are part of the board, but 9 chances out of 10 it is that sail switch. Good video,

Hey man if you don’t mind asking do you work for a dealer or are you mobile tech ?

Great ,common sense.!

Thank you much! Just ordered my parts and subscribed!

Thank you John. Easy to understand.

Yes, take a multi meter or test light and check a connection goes through them all. Before you change the board also make sure there is a spark, also make sure the spark in not shorting dut to a breakdown in the insulation as there is a lot of voltage going through it. There is also a probe inside to detect flame on some models, others use the same spark probe to detect flame )it changes the AC spark to DC and the board will lock on until up to temperature when it will go off for a while before firing up again. Check this probe is not burned away or gone brittle. The over temperature and fan change over (pressure switch) often fail. If the blower motor runs for a short while then goes off, suspect the fan switch. If it does not come on at all, over temperature switch. If the burner fires than goes straight off again, it is the spark probe of sensor probe depending on model. If you hear clicking like a spark, look for a break in the insulation on the HT spark lead, it may look perfect, but if you lift it away from metal you might see a spark jump, or run a screwdriver (not a metal handle) along the wire, if you see a spark jump before you get to close to the spark probe, replace the lead. If all else fails, the board may be faulty, but check everything else first, it will save you a lot of money.

Golden information. Thanks so much!

Thank you for the great information about this furnace, definitely you deserve one more subscriber, thanks again

Great video. Mine is in a 2008 surveyor by Forrest river. Turn the furnace on, cold air comes out of Ducts, air comes out exhaust fine after 10 seconds or less it shuts off. Only way to get it to run is to raise and lower thermostat and the same cycle continues.

Great video thank you for your expertise.

Great video thank you.

Thank you for a very detailed video.

Thank you!! I called a mobile service. Right away, before assessing the heater he said “ohhhh it’s your circuit board and those are costly.” He wants $600 to take the whole unit out. It’s only my relay switch.

What a great video that’s a lot of help.

Awesome information

Very good video . my furnace just quit now I'm not so scared to look into it . not many furnace repair people close by in my area plus I don't care to spend 100$ an hour to have it looked at. Thank you and love the dogs.

Thanks for the great advice! Went through your steps and it was my limit switch!

Thank you! It sounds like that thermal disk is probably my problem. We get the fan going but some clicking and sometimes and other times it fires and works. This seems like a symptom of that disk sometimes sticking, now i know how to jump it if it won’t fire to test that theory.

Great video 🤙🏼🤙🏼 thank you

Those little disk sensors can usually be reset just by throwing them against the floor or banging them on your lineman's or pliers. They are a saucer shaped disk inside that snaps the opposite way when the temperature is reached breaking the contact so with enough force they will snap back to the original direction.

Excellent video
