Hello all,

I have searched for a answer, but it is not working for me. My stove burns good, my water heater is burning now, we are boondocking on battery and propane for a test run be cold weather boondocking for real.

My furnace fan comes on  for 10+- sec and goes off, no heat comes out.  the therm is set to 80 and the inside temp is 65.
 Weekend is here and the wife needs the furnace in the mornings. Any help is appreciated.

Search for "Sail Switch." That is likely the cause. Some of the R-Pods came with a sail switch that is not working properly. That prevents the furnace from working as it fails to detect that the fan is running properly. It may just be stuck and needs to be manually operated a few times to loosen it.

If it is convenient to get to your dealer, take it there and they should be able to fix it for you under warranty.
