INTRODUCTION
The 2004 edition of the Atwood Furnace Service Manual is a resource created to help
service technicians identify Atwood product by serial number, diagnose service
problems and efficiently and effectively process warranty claims.
Changes to the Hydro Flame furnaces include:
• Ignition boards in the 79, 85 and 89 series furnaces now have the blower relay
incorporated into the PC board. These boards are compatible with previous Hydro
Flame furnaces. There is no longer a remote relay.
• New boards have a diagnostic ability with 4 fault codes.
• Furnaces with no outside access doors (only an exhaust vent) became available in
2003; the initials L/D in the model number identify these models. The gas valve was
re-oriented with a longer inlet manifold to make this possible.
Each of the manuals within this series offers a general overview of the product as well
as more specific product information. For each product within the manual, you will find
model identification, recommended tools and equipment, a sequence of operation,
warnings, annual maintenance procedures, parts and troubleshooting guides, warranty
procedures, flat rate schedules, and replacement part reference charts.
Due to the rapidly changing personal computer revolution we have placed
troubleshooting information in a variety of places to make sure that the most accurate
information is available. The best place to find the current information about Atwood
