Does anyone know anything about Suburban heaters? I have a NT12LEC unit installed in the Westy. It's thermostatically controlled and electronically ignited. The blower is 12v and the fuel is from the central LP tank. When the thermostat kicks on, the blower will start and run continuously, but no heat. I do hear one click, but nothing that sounds like gas igniting. There's a red push button behind the grill, but I'm not sure what it's supposed to do (see red arrow in pic below). I gather the heater has not been used in the last year. I do have gas in the tank and I'm reasonably certain that there is not a gas cutoff in the line somewhere, so I'm confident that it is getting gas. Any idea how I can test the ignition unit? Any thoughts on what the big red button does? http://www.skipemmert.com/vanquestions/heater.jpg
