Riahl Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Hello I was hoping to get some help. We have a 2008 jayco jayflight travel trailer. We are plugged in to a hookup. We are currently living in the trailer and the first month or two the heater worked great. But then all of a sudden it stopped. I can hear the fan turn on and it tries to click to turn on the burner but won't start. And it'll keep trying then the fan will turn off. Then back on and start trying to run again but won't. So we stopped trying and have been using a plug in heater. We are still freezing. So I tried just yesterday to get the heater working again and it worked all day, all night and half today. Now it's back to the fan turning on but clicking and wont ignite. I switched propane tanks and nothing. I don't know a lot about travel trailers and I need help. Dumb it down if you can. I'm freezing! Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowdog353 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Had same problem with friends trailer, was a problem with the ignightor spacing. If you don't have experience with heaters and trailers it would be best to get professional help. Where are you located and what temps outside are you having. Wish I could be of more help.

Kirk W Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 It would help to know what brand and model your furnace is, but it does sound like it is probably a bad igniter probe. It may be just dirty, but replacing it would be a better bet. Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

Chris Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 We had the same issue under warranty, at least the first time. The igniters sagged so the tech who worked on it just readjusted them. The second time it turns out spider webs were blocking some sort of air flow gauge. That one wasn't on warranty.

Camper Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) You might just head over to the Jayco owners forum, the guys should give you some good info. It could be the sail switch. Edited February 13, 2020 by Camper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
