I have a Norcold 838eg2 in the 75 Glenbrook. Recall was done.
Last trip I heard the ignitor clicking away running on propane. I nosed around a bit today, reseated the wires, vacuumed out the dust. Still does it.
It has an ignitor, and a flame sensor separate. If I unhook the flame sensor, it fires the ignitor for about seven seconds and at ten seconds shuts off the propane valve - as designed. Plug the sensor back up, and it will light instantly, stays lit, and keeps on firing the ignitor.
So, seems to me the sensor is working, but something in the ignitor board is not telling the actual ignitor to stop.
Found this

same on dinosaur's page:

but the sensor is directly connected to the board like this

so it seems that the firing control would be on it
Fixes, explanations, repair part links, anything welcome.
