Thank you for all your time and attention to detail. No apologies needed. I stayed to the end and waited for the ferris beuller, " why are you still here" scene.

Darren… LOVED this one! One of your best, frankly. Helps me diagnose my suburban. OH.. as an amateur astronomer - I LOVE the shirt!!

I love all the Video's I was a mobile technician and now a shop foreman.Super helpful videos especially the furnace and A/C ones.

Darren, there is no denying your enthusiasm for this stuff! That is what makes you such a good instructor.

You are the MAN!!!! With this video I was able to fix my furnace May God continue to bless you with your many gifts ,talents, and trades 👍

This was a MASTER CLASS, I got a ton of value out of this one !!

Finally, nice to see someone who knows their stuff vs. just posting a youtube video that says look at me. On a side observation the battery pack was reverse connected, thus it won't work.;-)

I watched this video again and once again it saved me. This video is my favorite furnace video.

Darren, my furnace is nearly identical to the one here and your step by step helped me disassemble, replace Burner and ignitor, clean it and put it back together so that it now works! Thanks!

Darren this is fantastic reliable information I personally used your information to replace a squealing blower motor, replace the burner and electrode. Heater works like a NEW unit now. Keep up the fantastic videos and sharing your wealth of information.

Keep em coming, and thanks for being so detailed in all your vids !

Thank you so much for all the work you do for us

i'm a new tech. your channel is my go to. thanks so much

Wonderful presentation Darren, your videos are great. Thanks so much

Keep these awesome video coming! I’m restoring my 2006 and I have applied your experience. Thanks Darren

Shout out to you Darin, thanks thanks and again thanks for the time that you put in to our Community. There are many of us that don’t have this knowledge and you take your time to help us.

Thanks Darren enjoy watching your videos of repair and maintenance very educational I have been watching your videos now for about six monthsThanks Wayne

Yeah, finally another video. Thanks Darren, love these videos. Binged on all of them and I don’t even have an RV yet but as a remodeling contractor, problem solving is my everyday thing. Nice to see you doing it on other systems. You do it well and I like your style. Keep up the great work. I know that it’s a lot of work to do the videos but totally appreciated. Love the T-shirt.

This is anamazing video! I love the explanations as you go through the videos! Keep it up!!

This is a great learning video, I was able to help a friend of mine in repairing his furnace. It turned out to be the orifice tube had a spiderwebbed inside of it. Thank you for your videos

EXCELLENT tutorial and detailed discussion, you will go far with your attitude and friendly manner of helping. The more you help, the more people will see and that they want to help you grow. Keep It Up.......

I can't tell you how much your videos have helped me. I'm getting ready to troubleshoot our furnace (in October, of course!). I've already replaced the ATS on our rig solely based on a video you did, and the job was a complete success. If you ever do an actual hands-on school, I'll be planning a trip to Washington. In the meantime, your videos are my school. Thank you!

Really appreciate the videos, Darren!

Another great video. Thanks. Glad you're back.

Absolutely awesome. Thanks so much! GREAT detailed video! You helped me troubleshoot my heater problem. One of your other videos "Atwood 8531-IV RV Furnace With Intermittent Heat " is the EXACT problem I'm having. I appreciate your expertise and that you've posted it to KZread. THANK YOU!

Yes, very helpful. Fixing two Atwood 8525s One a pig-squeal motor and the other with rodent nest. This session adds depth to the r and r videos.

Thanks for this one. It answer a lot of my questions about how the furnace works

Your videos are awesome. Keep up the great work. I enjoy your jibber jabber 😂. I can fix stuff. You help me see how to take things apart so I don't break them apart.

This is awesome information and always go to My RV Works video to learn how to do different fixes to my motorhome. THANK YOU Darren.

Darren, you are THE BEST guy at what you do that I have ever met! Thanks for always doing fantastic videos. Oh, my wife laughed about the woof-woof part. :)

WOW! Great Video Darren!!! Thank You so much.

Great video and info. You hooked up the jumper pack backwards and that's why, the system didn't power up. You put the yellow wire on the positive clamp and the red wire on the black clamp. Thanks for sharing your repair knowledge. Fun to watch and learn 🙂

Great video, thanks for taking the time and explaining the details of the entire circuit and function of the heater. our RV uses a 450D Aqua Hot system but it's nice to watch other systems and how they work in case someone asks me a question at an RV park. BTW the video on the 450 unit was fantastic!

Great information and great explanation of everything your doing and how things work!

I learn a lot from these videos. Thanks!

This is most informative info. I believe I can get my furnace working as soon as soon as I receive the parts.

Really enjoyed the video. I am new to RVing and I have used an electric heater plugged into our 110 at home. I tried my furnace yesterday since we purchased a used one and was told it did work. The blower would come on but then shut down. So as soon as the weather warms up with a day off, I will check my furnace. Again great video.

Awesome furnace video, learned a lot! Maybe I can figure mine out now!

Darren, As an industrial Sparky my career and owning my company doing so having the young employees that are at the stage of their career you and I were so many years ago I can tell you, you and I have the same teaching structure. Keeping it simple enough to help us that are ignorant about these units like mine that is the second example, same situation how you've got this one on a bench and not accessible in the 5th wheel I've got. I've got the 12vpos with the negative now on a screw of good ground for the 12v input. " The thermo has it's 12 pos and neg as well. I opened and closed the "circuit breaker"/overload that DOT requires but still nothing coming from the unit. Your video is giving great insight of where to look at "what". I appreciate you and your information on this situation that I'm having at this time as winter is rapidly approaching. Luckily I've got the AC with heat pump along with the fireplace in the living room. The space heater is a nice addition if the temps get below the 40deg range as the heatpump tends to not operate with the colder temps. Thank you for the information you've provided sir. Greatly appreciated.

You have passed on so much knowledge. It is fantastic. I was actually working with a Dometic/Atwood Service Tech and I was not understanding what he wanted me to do thru emails. But then I found your videos and was able to get it going again. And Ya the dumb exhaust tube has to be on. That bit me for a bit too. LOL, Thanks for all your knowledge.

Going to level one cert. training next week and this video helped alot. thank you!

Love.your vids. Most hard installed appliances have a switch nearby for service work. Called a service swirlch. It is there to protect any serviceman from AC shock. Also very convenient to turn on and off for servicing. Thanks for your very well made vids. I have learned a lot from you

That was a great video. one of the best explanations on you tube

Your furnace videos give me warm feelings.....cus it gets 'em working again!

Ha!

I agree that these are great videos. One thing that makes them good is that they are NOT rehearsed, but are like an actual repair on site.

I saw your kitty on the floor. At first he looked like a rug. Pretty fur. I am paying attention to you. Right tool for the job! Excellent information. Thanks for your vlog

Great video, I had a problem with a furnace and it was the control board but the video helped greatly determine what the problem was.

I feel much more confident playing with my heater! And watch all your videos! Thank you

All your videos are great information 👍 thanks you

Very helpful. Good video. I learned a lot.

Great video. Very well presented.

Another great video thanks I love learning how things work to be able to troubleshoot,

not long enough bud, Thank you for another great video

thanks for the info on the rv furnace. I learned alot. keep it up

What a great teacher! Thank you very much!!!

Another excellent video. Thanks! 😀

Darren- another great video that really showed me how to troubleshoot my furnace and what components make the thing work as well as what symptoms we can expect to present. I really appreciated the drill of if this is happening then what does this mean (i.e. igniter is firing and gas valve is opening then could it be the sale-switch?) That type of question and check-on-learning is particularly helpful! These are the best videos that I've found by a certified professional trying to help to repair our RVs! Thank you!

Thanks for all your videos. You just helped me solve the problem with my Burner. The probes had moved farther than 1/8 apart.. Moved them back and it fired right up. Thanks again.

1/8” gap is interesting as my 2016 mfg date Atwood manual that came with my AFLD40 says .375 or 3/8” is required distance from spark rod centerline to burner screen.

I’m a retired shop teacher, I can see your pasión to make sure your message gets across you have great videos very instructional

Thanks for taking the time to show us how to trouble shoot the heater.

Thank you for the great tutorial!

Great video keep them coming.

it wouldnt start because you had the red wire hooked up to the neg on battery pack and the black wire was on the positive on the battery pack..

Learning sooooo much from your videos!! Thank you so much!

Great video. I have a Dometic DLFD40 that stopped working. Only would click. Pulled it out after watching your other videos and found a loose wire from the breaker to the board. Hooked it up to test and it would turn on, ignite, then turn of the flame. Kept trying to relight. Checked the valve assembly (after watching your video) and solenoids were good. Did a little more research and found a thread on a site that explained this same problem----you can't bench test without the exhaust manifold on the unit!!! Started right up and ran like a charm! Wish I had known...

This guy is totally awesome!!!!! THANKS

Darren.... best furnace video yet. I also did notice as Hans did, that you had the positive and negative backwards on your power supply. I was thinking that a video in reference to tires would be great such as maintenance, inspection and explaining what all the information on the tires mean. There are clips on You tube however. you explain things so well.

Your a very good teacher/tech

Outstanding teaching video ... thank you!

You sir are the very best, thank you.

As I said before, you are an awesome instructor. Best how to videos I have watched. Too bad you didn't teach my college classes! Keep up the more than great videos!!!

Just to help others , my atwood 8525 would run the 3 seconds and stop the gas , I cleaned burner and adjusted igniter , still didnt fix, So i ordered the circuit board and that fixed it, Thank you for your videos.

Great video I learned a lot!

Keep up the great work

Super job on the propane explanation. Great content! Also, if the propane gets old, it may settle out ssme of the oil (gas reverts to the oil base) and as it gets to the bottom of the tank, the oil will begin to vaporize along with the propane and end up in the gas that is burning. (I'm an old LP tank driver and discovered the issue on some 3-4 year old 100# cylinders that were not used in a timely manner.) The propane needs to be relatively fresh or refilled recently. (I've also had some similar issues with my grill at the campground with oil residual on the tank/hose.) It needs to be used faster - kind of like leaving gasoline get old over the course of a winter - the wax part will loose its potential unless you put in an additive. Sorry - no additive for the propane.

you are a very smart man !! thank you

2 days ago I decided to tackle my air conditioner not turning on. Instead I have fixed my furnace and hot water heater. I have learned more about what ac compared to bc from you in a 37 minute video yesterday then I had ever known. And I'm a electronics manager.( Ret.). lol

My go to RV Tech

Great video

wow I'm so thankful that you're doing this because of you doing this these videos I'm starting to learn and I'm living in an RV I've already fix the propane system in a thermal coupler and stuff like that and got my gas propane system working for the frigerator absorption refrigerator of course I still haven't figured out how to get the thermocoupler exactly out so I can scrape it off and do it all the black Carbon I had to do it the hard way with it in there but I mean I did do it and it worked

Nice job ! Thank you!

love your video

I love your videos

You're the best Darren! I would like to know what you wear to work. You look very professional.

Thanks for sharing.

I enjoy all your videos. I have worked on that same heater. I found a great wrench to use as a backup at Home Depot. It’s called a adjustable plumbers wrench. It’s similar to a crescent wrench but has very slim jaws. Works well in tight places.

Great video it's great video 👍

Good job Darren. If there is a choice in learning I prefer too much information rather than just a brush on the surface. I came out of my industry in 1984 to teach vocational education. Four years later I went back to industry. An instructor should avoid assumptions that a student comes to the class with predetermined knowledge for it might be wrong or not enough to work into the depths of a procedure or device. In late 2019 I bought a 30 year old trqavel trailer to be my home. It’s my second RV. I have renewed the water heater with a new $20.00 thermocouple. I’ll work the furnace in May when weather is prime for such a project.

I think your battery booster pack didn't work at the end (49:00) because it was hooked up backwards. You had the red furnace wire hooked up to the black booster cable and the yellow furnace wire hooked up to the positive booster cable. At the start of the video you hooked it up red to red and yellow to black. I've got a 40k btu suburban furnace mounted under the refrigerator in our 2003 Newmar Dutch Star DP with no outside access so I'm trying to learn all I can about trouble shooting it if and when something goes wrong.(We always use the heat pumps for heat when possible). Your videos are a big big help. We live in S.C. If I was in your area I would definately call you. Thanks Darren.!

Very helpful. Thanks

Thank you for the information...

Such a good 👍 video

I just found your videos and watched you’re videos regarding loose connection and torque them what brand torque screwdriver do you use ?

And I always wondered about the filter...or lack there of...now I know😊

Thanks Darren, this is really helpful. Love the many tips and tricks you're sharing. I'm about to dive in and see if I can find out what's going on with my 2008 NT-16S. Fan blows, I hear a tick, I smell faint LP, but no flame/ignition. It cycles 3 times as per the instructions then shuts off after 90 seconds. I replaced the electrode but to no avail, so I figure it's either the module (bad ignitor component?) or insufficient LP caused by a bad valve or blocked LP pinhole. Anyway, with the info you share, I feel better equiped to troubleshoot it even though I do foresee it'll be a pain to get it out of its hole...
