I have a 2008 Hawk with a Suburban NT-16SE Furnance
This appears to be a new problem although since July when I've owned the Hawk I've never had a need for a furnace....well now its September and I'm in the Colorado high country often....and I'm starting to get cold.....furnace would be nice
Turn the propane on, thermostat is on, furnace fans turn on, and then the igniting click cycles begin. I see a spark, but a flame doesn't establish.
Consulted the troubleshooting manual http://www.bdub.net/manuals/Suburban_Service_Manual.pdf
but not overly helpful. Before taking it out and cleaning or adjusting the electrode it I want to make sure I'm not missing an easy fix.
Thanks,
Luke

- Electrical- I don't believe it to be electrical, when I turn the thermostat on, the fans kick in and it goes through the ignition cycle - so I don't think it is the sail switch. Have tried with both AC and DC, and fan/ignition cycle still occur.
- Gas pressure- I did recently get the tank topped off. I ran gas through the stove fine. Stove does not auto fire on "light" (is it supposed to?). Fridge on propane works (that is another story). Tried the "bleed trick" I read about on another post- didn't work.
- Electrode positioning?
Thanks,
