Furnace wiring

Any tech types know where the furnace gets power from. I have wiring diagram for the furnace itself I just don’t have anything showing what or where it gets it’s power from.

The same fuse that runs the refrigerator also supply power to furnace. That fuse is good but there’s no 12 vdc at the furnace

Sounds like you have a broken wire between the fridge and furnace. It's probably not easily accessible, but I'd try tracing that wire. Hopefully it's broken at a location that's easy to get to.

I figured out the power problem. The circuit board is faulty. Is there an alternative to the suburban furnace for a class a mh? I have a 2017 fr3 32ds. Our local RV center said these circuit boards are not built to last. They keep them in stock. I have only had this coach less than a year.

I just installed a Dinosaur product from Amazon. very reasonable in cost and feel good about it lasting. I hope you were able to resolve your problem.
I , too, am having annual problems w/ my Suburban SF-35. I can only find a chinese motor for the blower and they last ONE year.Period.
My plan is to have a local elect motor shop rebuild w/ American parts....The chinese parts and hassle of pulling furnace ain't working for me...Lol. Good Luck finding a replacement furnace. PKM

less than one year old and dealer has a replacement board in stock. shouldn't this be a warranty repair? even if the replacement board goes out you've postponed the expense of buying your own replacement.

I replaced the board in my new Suburban furnace with a Dinosaur board before it crapped out. The factory unit is a similar board to the failing water heater board.
