Anybody know how to get at the igniter on the Duotherm series furnace?
I don't have any thing that even shows where it is.

Thanks,

RonC

In my life time I have removed that $#*%# Duotherm furnace at least 6
times from my 77 Kingsley. If you mean igniter as in the sparker, it's at
the end of that loosely covered wire that runs into the center of oval
bread pan that is lying on its side at the lower front of the furnace.
If you mean the 'brains' or board that tells the igniter what to do, it's
on the upper right(facing) behind the plate where the wires come out. It is
not accessible without removal of the furnace or if you can enlarge the
hole on the side of the sink cabinetry at the lower section IF the end of
your coach will cover it.
I hope I have answered your question and if I didn't mine was working
perfectly and now won't start....it's gotta come out again!! Grrrr

It's been a long time, but, as I recall, it's accessible from the front. I
would
recommend downloading the manual from Bdubs site. Usually, igniter
problems are a result of the sail switch not closing. This is caused by
either the fan motor is gummed up and not turning fast enough or the
sail switch is gummed up, or both. Remove, clean and lubricate.
And, of course, there's always dirty electrical connections.
