Atwood 8516-III Furnace Question
#1

By following a spec sheet for this Atwood unit there should be 2 wires that flow from sail switch , 1 to Limit switch, one off to another stop. 1 should be blue the other either blue or white. I follow one wire that seems to go into camper, the other that goes to what seems like a 5 prong nickel sized unit attached in viewable area next to fan unit. not comparable to my dime sized 2 prong unit that I purchased as my limit switch.
My question is do I have to remove furnace to get to limit switch? Or maybe did I recieve the wrong limit switch from RV store, and am actually staring at limit switch?

You can also find it by following the wire from the sail switch to the limit switch - they are connected if I recall....
I don't see a way to get to mine without taking out the blower assembly.

On a sadder note, suddenly my fan is not working again. That could be my fault though. I was about to put ear next to exhaust port to see if I could here the clicking of furnace trying to light. I put my hand up to the exhaust vent and suddenly the fan died, although covering exhaust with hand I in no way sealed it. Like I said, could be a coincidence.

Go to Home Depot...Electrical section...ask for a 10-in-1 (might be called 11-in-1)screwdriver. You'll find a square bit at one end. I keep one in the camper. Has a bit for almost anything.So now that I have removed plate attached to limit switch, I am having a tough time finding square tool to remove the 2 screws. No luck at Sears, home depot, or Ace hardware!
