Clean Furnace...No Fire???

Hi: All... Just had the bearings repacked, brakes serviced, furnace& fridge, chimney's blown out. On the way home filled one tank of propane. Lit the stove...that works but the furnace NO WAY!!! The fan runs 30 sec's. then shuts off. Red light in the panel blinks...but no heat.
In this case there's snow on the roof, but no fire in the hearth!!! Any ideas? Alf

what did they do to the furnace for service? There is a switch behind the furnace cover that they may have turned off?

sounds like it is not getting propane for the ignitor to light or they messed the ignitor, is it sparking, can you hear the clicking like on the refer? we got to get you up and running for the trip to Tennessee in 3 weeks!!

Hi: cpaharley2008... The RVTech didn't go inside just blew out the chimney. The stove lights so propane is present there. No audible click and the on/off switch seems dead. I might try and bypass the switch to check out the igniter.
I may be in Tenn. a lot faster than you are Alf
