Hmm, haven't had experience with Attwood furnaces, only suburban. Are you talking about a switch on the thermostat or the furnace itself?

What is stuck in the off position? The thermostat controls?
If youare unable to move the slide from OFF to AC or Heat you probably need the thermostat replaced or have someone that know a little about trailers take a look.

First pic is my thermostat. Does yours look similiar?
or like the second picture?

If not can you take a picture of the unit or give us the model number of heater?


Did you ever find your water pump from your earlier tread?
