Furnace shut down
I have a Rheem Criterion Gas furnce with an intermitant problem. My
house was built in 1997 and the furnace is the same age. The problem I have been experiencing is when the furnace starts it's cycle the ignitor will glow, the flame kicks in and when the blower comes on the flame will go out. This repeats 4 times. I'll leave it alone and it seems to correct itself. I havecleaned the flame sensor and have checked the ground and every thing seems fine. Could it be the gas valve? |

Why not call your local licensed professional HVAC dealer and have him look at it before it quits on a weekend, you freeze your ass off and you pay through the nose for an overtime service call?

I worked on such a problem this year. After a new flame sensor, the next
step was to replace the circuit board. That did the job, now the furnace works. -- Christopher A. Young You can't shout down a troll. You have to starve them. .. "Brian" wrote in message oups.com... Replace flame sensor. ( Part is like $12 ) |
