My wife and I decided to go ahead with the purchase of a 2012 MPG 183 on Saturday. We did the walk through and everything seemed to be working fine, including the furnace.
I was told that to operate the furnace, I just slide the thermostat to the right (with the gas on of course).
I got home, plugged the trailer in and started to go through the set-up process in the driveway. Everything worked great until I hit the thermostat and nothing happened. The fan didn't kick on, there was no noise at all... just silence. I checked all breakers (flipped each one to ensure none were tripped). I moved the thermostat back and forth a number of times and nothing changed.
I lifted the cushion and board that covers the furnace compartment, and didn't see any reset switches to flip. I put the board and cushion back, pushed the thermostat to the right one last time, and low and behold, the furnace fired up and within a minute was pumping out hot air.
I am baffled... Has anyone else experienced this?? I have no idea what prevented it from kicking on or what changed that made it kick on when it did.
The temp inside was certainly cold enough to cause it to kick on with the temp setting on the thermostat.
Any info is appreciated.
