Exclamation Furnace won't shut off sometimes?

Hello!

Not sure if "Propane Systems" is the place to post this or not, but when my furnace doesn't shut off, it uses a LOT of propane. ha.

So this morning, I wake up, walk into the living room. Super nice and toasty. Didn't even think about it. lol! Furnace is running. So at 82 degrees, my wife wakes up uncomfortable... waaa? Why so hot in here?

I've had this happen before. It was on day 1 of use. It's happened about 3x total over a year's time. Each time the only way to get it to shut off is to pull the 15amp breaker for "utils". Then you have to wait, sometimes an hour or so. Plug it back in and everything works normal again.

Is there something that is causing this? I'd hate to think I leave the trailer for a day and then come back a day or two later and find my trailer is cold because it burned through all the propane. Or worse, a symptom of something more dangerous.

Thanks for any help!

Sounds like your tstat is on its way out or the controller board on your furnace.

Does the same happen with AC?

No. AC works good with 2 different zones.

In fact, in process of turning off the heater on the tstat on the wall, it will say "off" and the furnace is cooking away. (it's hot heat) I can even run the "ac" "when" the heater is doing it's thing and not shutting off. Tested that this morning. (obviously not for long)
