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.

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.

@JOHNDANIEL1 Жыл бұрын

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.

@user-vt7dm2pb7o 10 ай бұрын

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

@BoB4jjjjs 3 жыл бұрын

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.

Such a helpful video! Just pulled out the suburban DD-17DSI from my 97 flagstaff popup and found that the sail switch/leaf switch was bad. It would show continuity when open, however, there was 500 ohms resistance across the sail switch was I think is an indicator of a bad switch. I took the wires off of either end of the sail switch and was connected them together, and everything fired right up first time. My symptoms prior to this were no spark and gas, but the fan would run.

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.

Manually press the sail switch to see if its just not making full contact when fire up happens. If its out of the case it can act like its not getting enough pressure, and some switches may have too small a flag on them to keep it connected the full 2 seconds the board needs to see to react.

John! Enjoyed the video! Very good information. I have an Atwood heater 8500 - IV Series. It's in my 2003 Jayco 5th wheel. I ran the furnace today but here is what happened...the combustion fan came on, followed by the clicking board relay followed by the gas igniting. The issue is that the blower motor did not come on. I waited a long time and it never came on. The gas just stayed on and kept heating. I was worried that things were going to get too hot so I turned the unit off. Normal shutdown, combustion fan ran to cool unit and finally shut off. So, that's what I am up against. You did not mention what causes the main blower to come on after it heats up. From your video everything is working normally, so should I think about throwing a blower motor at it?

@JOHNDANIEL1 Жыл бұрын

You only have one blower motor, when the combustion blower side is running, the whole motor is running. If you recently heard a odd noise from it, it could be the blower on the ducting side came off the shaft inside. These furnaces, that model has a horrendous record of issues. I have seen this before in all made from 2018 to date. See part #39 on this diagram page one, techsupport.pdxrvwholesale.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/2-Stage-Exploded-Parts-Views.pdf If your blower came off, you will hear or feel the fresh air at about 5 mph from the exhaust, it will likely be 6 mph without the bigger blower taking up energy. Make sure its not just hot evacuation on the exhaust, then start to look in to see if the main blower is loose and laying in the duct can in it.

I just repaired or replaced my heater motor but now it won't fire up. I had the sail switch, board, and burner cleaned out, this last fall. The fan started making noise so I replaced the motor. I get no clicking or heater start up, no light on the circuit board.

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.

I have a hydro flame model 7920. It will turn the fan on with out the thermostat being turned on and won’t shut off till I shut done the main camper power or remove wire from circuit breaker in unit. I can not figure out what is wrong . Because it was working just fine and now it’s doing this . Not sure if it’s wiring or the actual thermostat. Because I have changed almost everything other than the limit switch . If you have any advice would love to hear . Thanks ! You helped me fix my furnace the first time and now this is happening . Thanks again video really helped .

Super confused. 3 months ago I found this video. I decided to get a universal fan blower delay relay since it was cheap. Well, now I realize there's no place on my atwood hydroflame 8531-111 for it. Like I can't tell heads or tails where the location of its supposed place is in relation to where it would be from the access flap. I have found wiring diagrams and schematics and the part you had linked to is listed as a heat sequencer in Amazon. Can't return it now. So now I'm off to test everything with a test light. And actually figure out my problem. Ugh.

The relay on my board is what happened to by furnace . Thanks for explaining the working. Unfortunately GD put the furnace in without access door, how stupid!

@JOHNDANIEL1 Жыл бұрын

You can replace only the relay, but look carefully at the capacitor next to it to be sure it did not cause the fail.

My kids convinced me to put a buy me a coffee link below the videos now to help fund us for getting more equipment to start doing a little better videos. So if you want to see more, and more in depth ones and get answers the best I can that's the best way that we figured out how to do it

Your kinda choppy on procedures but you diagnosis is spot on. Your expertise is evident. I do gas furnaces(20yrs) Up to 5mbtu. Sis gotta intermittent fault in Ohio and I'm gonna take a look. (2hr drive) . Seems RV Forced air ain't much different than a 3mbtu air house.just miniature. Hipped me to take small nut drivers and screw driver than I probably would've (most are not in my tool bag. The fan delay switch looks like a residential control except they're 99% 24v signal. Curious flame proof . Combo igniter Flame sense ? Thanks so much Sir. Spent 1 or so on others and.... watched yours completely! Dirty hands were vaguely familiar! Peace my friend.

I am so sick of fixing my stupid furnace. Changed the igniter board 3 times, fail switch twice (changed the s to an f because I found it more suitable), thermostat once, and the high limit once. Furnace is a dometic (Atwood) hydroflame and only a year old. Had issues since new lol... I went to a Dino board and that solved the ignition issues, and so far, it's been good for about 3 weeks. Good for this particular unit lol The problem is these stupid little parts are really expensive in Canada! Like that sail switch. It's just a standard d41x microswitch which you can get for like three bucks on eBay. Call it a sail switch, and suddenly they're 50! So I bought a few micro switches and now I just put that aluminum sail on whatever switch I'm using lol

Great video. I have a Atwood 8535 furnace. It will try to start 3 times but won’t go. Replaced flame burner, electrodes, and gas valve. I have 1/8 on electrodes. Any chance you could shoot me some advice what to try next

Blower mounted Sail Switch. amzn.to/3SgjP4X . It identifies the clear and safe run cycle of start up has happened and sends a signal to fire up the heater. If it is not working, the heater will run a fan only cycle, and shut off after about a minute.

Very helpful. I have this same unit and it fires up and runs great but doesn’t shut off at the desired temp and also it’s making a noise when it runs any idea? I would truly appreciate it if you could help me out thanks. And great video.

@JOHNDANIEL1 2 жыл бұрын

When the run delay relay gets old the metal in them can get distorted enough to hang up on it's contacts. Also if a fan switch is failing it may be rubbing against the blower causing it to keep contact.
