2014 Trailrunner bunkhouse - Heater issue

[RWizinsky]

Hi all,
I am trying to figure out how to remove or access the circuit on the furnace heater. It appears the sail switch is malfunctioning or something is blocking it. There is not an outside access panel. Has anyone accessed this before?

You should be able to get to it from the outside. Remove the outside furnace cover and you'll see a black shroud that covers the blower. I think there's one or two screws holding the cover. The sail switch is inside.

There doesn't seem to be an outside panel for the heater

Looks like there's just a vent on your exterior. I guess you'll have to take the vent cover off and rotate the furnace to get to the blower.

In the first picture I do not see any ducts connected to the furnace. That would be a reason for the furnace not working properly.

I think their duct goes down into the floor

Yes, I thought of that a few hours after I posted it.

 

[RWizinsky]

Yes, it goes thru the floor. I'm leaning towards bad switch.the unit was working great in December camping and started acting up intermittently in January. Then finally stopped working in February.

 

[Bones]

Were you able to figure out how to get to the switch?

No not yet,far as I can see I'll have to remove the unit.I'm hoping it's not screwed into the floor in the back like the front is.

What is above your heater? You should be able to remove that panel above it

The refrigerator.

 

[Bones]

I'm guessing you are out of Heartland's one year manufacturers warranty, but you may still be under the warranty of the furnace manufacturer.

Contact them . . . they may get you fixed up!
