When your park model or RV furnace stops lighting, the ignitor board is often the culprit. The Dinosaur Electronics UIB24VAC is a direct-replacement ignitor control board for furnaces that operate on 24-volt AC power -- including Duo-Therm, Hydro-Flame, and Suburban park model units. It is a drop-in upgrade with onboard diagnostics, overcurrent protection, and a 3-year manufacturer warranty that outpaces most OEM replacements.
Park model furnaces and some older RV furnaces use 24-volt AC ignitor boards rather than the 12V DC boards found in standard travel trailers and motorhomes. Finding a quality replacement for these units can be difficult. Dinosaur Electronics has specialized in RV furnace board replacements for decades, and the UIB24VAC is purpose-built for this specific application.
This board installs in the same footprint as the original, connects to the same wiring harness, and adds genuine improvements: a 3-try microcontrolled ignition sequence, onboard diagnostic LED indicators, and a built-in fuse that protects the 24V circuitry from short circuit damage -- a common failure point on unprotected OEM boards.
Microcontrolled board attempts ignition up to 3 times before locking out, improving cold-weather and low-gas-pressure starts.
Green LED confirms power to the board. Red LED indicates power to the gas valve. Simplifies troubleshooting without a multimeter.
Built-in fuse protects 24V circuits from short circuit damage. Surge protection reduces risk of board failure from power spikes.
Limited 3-year warranty from Dinosaur Electronics -- significantly longer coverage than most OEM furnace boards.
This ignitor board is designed for furnaces that use a 24-volt AC ignitor board. That includes many Duo-Therm, Hydro-Flame, and Suburban furnaces installed in park model homes and some older RV applications. Before ordering, confirm that your existing board is labeled for 24 VAC operation -- this board will NOT work in standard 12V DC RV furnace applications.
The two onboard LEDs make field diagnosis much faster than probing with a meter:
Replacement follows a straightforward process for anyone comfortable with basic furnace service:
