I have had the intake portion of the outside intake/exhaust fitting get packed in by freezing up during a windy storm, cutting off the intake air and giving an error 17. Had to get up on a ladder and chip away the packed snow and ice to open up the airway.
someone suggested that could be the problem as it was -20 there and the regulator mightve stopped workingsomeone suggested that could be the problem as it was -20 there and the regulator mightve stopped working
Pull the front trim and grill, in the right side of the cabinet (lower right) you'll see the gas valve with a rubber tube going to it from the blower housing , trim about a 1/4" from each end and reinstall. Also check the ends on all other rubber hoses.
Yea there is an e17 error code on at least the monitor gf3800. the error code means according to the manual and other online resourses means that the fan is blocked, the intake or output vent is clogged, or there is insufficient fuel due to another appliance running on the same either lp or natural gas using the pressure. Apparently there are other reasons for the error code, as mine is also flashing e17 and all vents are clear, fan operates normally, and this is the only lp appliance I have in the house. Searched the internet for answers and only found the same question. hope someone figures this thing out and posts it somewhere (anywhere) on the net. you figure it out, let me know.
same error code. unit shuts off and does not heat. I had griffith energy and they were raping me so I switched. after they removed the tank I noticed dry grass in the lines, shoved down the line. new company cleared out what they could and said it was working fine. now this. don't ever use griffith energy. they lie, are overpriced and will sabotage your system before they leave.same error code. unit shuts off and does not heat.
