My RV Furnace Stays On After The Thermostat Temperature Has Been Reached

Question:I have a 1999 holiday rambler vacationer with a duo-therm comfort control. The furnace will continue to run after the set temp has been reached. I assume the control has gone bad. Am I missing anything else that could cause this condition?



Robbie:If just the fan is running the time delay switch could be bad, this switch allows the fan to continue to run for a few minutes after the flame shuts down to allow cooling of the burner chamber. If the heat is not shutting off you could have a bad thermostat or a sticking gas valve and should have a tech look at it before you use it again.

Thanks for the Question Good Luck,
Robbie

We just purchased a 2004 Coachman Concord and the furnace does not heat. The fan works with the thermostat and you can hear clicking as I think the furnace attempts to ignite but it will stop trying and then in a few minutes try again. The camper has been in Florida so imagine the furnace has not been used often. Any ideas? Thank you
