I got my propane tank filled yesterday and now furnace won't run! Worked fine until i did the fill up. Is there anything that I can check to correct the problem? Could it be the way my duo-therm is set up?
Sorry I'm really a newbie at rving!

LOL I did make sure the valve was on. I'll try the bleeding part to see if that works.

Easiest way to see if the valve is on, does the stove light up? If not look at the valve, just after the tank. The filler will, alway, shut it off. Not alway to be turned on.

It is the Propane Gas Detecter it will have a reset switch on the front and a bepper will sound off till it resets it self about a min-or-two after You turn it on a green light is on them after they reset they blink and stop the beeping.They run on 12volt the 12 volt system must be on also.It will be on a wall or cabnet low near the floor.Help Me here are You where the weather is real cold?Things work slower in extream cold if the stove lights gas is flowing that far good sign.I will stay on line for a few min.let Me know what You find.Bushman

Look at Your wall furnace Thermastate settings are set right on auto or Run about 70* fan on and Heat not cool?Is the fan running at all? It should to purge the system of gas before lighting.What kind or make of furnace have You got ? if fan will not run check Your inside fuse box look for a burnt fuse if that is ok We will move on.Is the stat. a digital or the manual slide one ? make of stat.?if digital is there a battery in it ?may be if didgital replace it if so most are dubble A's or AAA,s can You send a e-mail add for Me to send a phone # to for You to call Me on ? I just do not want My number all over the Net.
