Furnace question

The atwood furnace in my 2015 Pinnacle will start and run fine. Shuts off when temp. reached but will not fire up again. The switch on top of furnace trips. Reset the switch and furnace will run again through one cycle and trip swotch again.

Make sure nothing's in the outside exhaust vent. Clogged vents will cause it to overheat, tripping the switch. Check the air intake as well. Bad blower motor will do it too. Just a couple to check.

Yup, critters like to get in their and make nest.. All that ended when i installed the bug screens on all the outside vent's. Was a little pricey but well worth the investment.

After you check the suggestions above, and you check you have smooth air flow to the vents…then replace the switch.
Atwood tech told me once it starts tripping it continues to trip easily.
Changed mine, no more issues. Only after dealer charged me $500 to do all their unnecessary treatments to try and fix it, even after I kept telling them to replace the switch. Then they finally did.
