Suburban Furnace No Heat

[Ralph Fullenwider]

Also need to check the valve on the tree to be sure it is not just
partially turned on for some reason. Have you checked your LP pressure
lately? And are there mud dobber nests in the intake or exhaust ports out
side? These will lower combustion and give you low heat as well.


Safe travels,

Ralph,


I'm just getting started with this project and building my alternatives
sheet.


Usually there is no heat, minimal heat once in a while with t-stat at
max. T-stat, fan, click, all seem OK. I can see fire thru the glass when
it produces minimal heat


Yesterday I removed the unit. Removed the ignition/sensor unit and
cleaned it although is looked fine. The adjustments are correct. Burner
looks great. Little dust using compressed air in the fire box.


Need to continue checking...

What sort of issue? Do you hear a click click click and no fire? do you
hear one solid click first then click click click? Does the fan run?



Have you removed the front panel, then the cover with the sight glass and
cleaned the probes with a tooth brush? Ran a long cone brush that is used
in the house on the drier lint vent, to clean the top of the beaver
tail?


Is the circuit board getting the signal from the thermostat? Just
some thoughts before replacing, these units are usually pretty bullet
proof but the circuit boards will go out from time to time.

Having the no heat issue from the
center propane heater, Suburban NT16 SW.


Suburban tells me the NT16 SW was designed for Wanderlodge…the W
for Wanderlodge. The NT16 SE looks to be the same unit. Suburban could
not tell me the difference in the two units. Anyone have that knowledge?



Anyone know if the NT16 SE can be used as a direct replacement for the
NT16 SW without modifications?
