We have an 02 Lite LE with auto ignite but in the back compartment I see a knob with "pilot" on it.
Is that for the water heater? How do I start the furnace? The blower comes on but no heat. Propane tanks are full. We are using a generator, we're in a very woodsy rural area.

Thank you,
Tara
 
Would you happen to know the make of your heater?
Thank you for replying, Frank
I was wrong.
I was looking at the hot water heater. 🚰♨️🤦‍♀️
Here's a picture of our furnace.
It kicks on but no heat.
Checked propane level.
And fuse.

Do the indicator lamps come on showing an issue with the propane? Does your stove work? Does the furnace fan come on then shut off? Do you live in an area that has dirt dobbers?
 
Attwood 8525-IV

How the furnace should work.
The 8525 does not have a pilot light. It has a spark igniter.

Furnace Cycle

The 8525 requires 12 volts from battery or converter. Check fuses and possible loose connections.
The thermostat is a simple switch. "ON" sends 12 volts to the control board. Check with voltmeter.
Sail switch must be "OFF" before fan will attempt to run.
Fan starts. Sail switch must switch to "ON".
Gas valve opens. You may be able to hear it "click".
At the same time igniter sparks.
Fan and gas continue for a minute.
If heat is not detected, gas shuts off.
Fan continues to run to clear burner chamber.
Gas valve opens again and igniter sparks.
Furnace repeats the cycle three times then fan stops and control board locks out.

To restart the furnace, switch thermostat "OFF" then back "ON".

I have same problem At risk of sounding super dumb the switch like light switch with flame on it.Which is on circle or line?
 
I found this:

In the standard "on/off" symbol representation, a circle indicates "off" and a line indicates "on"; essentially, think of the circle as a "0" (off) and the line as a "1" (on) in binary code
