Bad regulator...a first for me

[jsb5717]

Nearly 40 years of towing trailers, mostly 10-20 year old rigs, and I've never had a propane regulator go bad...until yesterday.

It actually started last fall with the furnace intermittently not working. It would ignite then turn off after a few seconds. I was looking at flame sensor and igniter distance from the screen. It would randomly work for a while. This past week it worked then didn't work. I began to wonder about the regulator not delivering enough psi. I adjusted it up a little but it still didn't work. Then, the regulator just stopped working altogether...no propane would flow at all.

I drove into town, bought a new one, installed it, and the furnace has been working perfectly since. Was below freezing last night and the furnace did its job.

Anyway, new experience for me. With a newer rig I assumed that the regulator would have not failed...live and learn.
