Hello all, and thank you for allowing me into the forum. This is my first post, and I hope someone can help me with my problem. I have a 65925-001 furnace in an older Skyline Nomad 27' camper. I installed a new thermocouple a few years ago in the furnace, and it was like new inside the firebox.
The furnace has worked flawlessly for some time now. The only problem I ever had was, if I didn't switch the furnace off prior to hooking up 120V ac, it would blow the little fuse. I know everyone is going to scold me for this, but on a recent camping trip, I hooked up the power without turning the power off and blew my last fuse. Being they are special order, I had only the choice to go without heat, or wrap a small piece of alum foil around the fuse and reinstall if for the weekend only. Well, Murphy's law, my generator ran out of fuel and when I restarted it, I must have put a surge into the unit, and now it has a problem.
All the blowers still work as needed, but the function of the gas valve isn't right. The gas valve keeps pumping gas to the burner even with the furnace off and the pilot light out. I have verified this by lighting the burner manaully and it just runs and runs. I suspect I might have caused a malfunction in the gas control valve, but also wonder if it might be a relay problem? Does anyone have any idea's or a source for parts? I am very mechanical, and have troubleshot things before, but I don't have a schematic on the furnace, so some help would be greatly appreciated. I now have a dozen fuses in the drawer, but hope I haven't killed the furnace.
