Propane Furnace in Kitchen

[erniecarpet@...]

Steve, you can take it apart and clean it real good. The probes can be
cleaned with a small wire brush- gently. The cut off valve - I believe in your
coach is behind the refer outside panel. Ernie 83pt40 in cool Montana

I have to remove the propane furnace under the stack of drawers in the
kitchen to get to a water leak. Is there any preventative or routine
maintenace I should do while it is out?

Thanks,

HI Steve:

Other than checking for mud, gut's and beer in the unit, you can remove the
local/remote sensor and igniter, clean it with a soft bristle brush, check
the gap between the sensor and igniter ( 1/8th inch) and with a long soft
bristle brush, clean off the beaver tail burner then re assemble.

Check intake and exhaust tub for mud dobber nests. Check the wiring in
general for abrasions cuts and lose connections. The fan motor is
permanently lubed and sealed. Check the sail switch for freedom of movement.

Caution: when replacing the unit back into it's space, double/triple check
that the intake and exhaust tubes to be sure they went into the out side
sleeves at least 2 1/4 inches to prevent Co2 problems. One can put it back
in and it will seem to be in the right position but in fact miss those tubes.

Safe travels,
