Either no one can help, no one wants to try or everyone is busy reading
all those paranoia posts. No one has offered any ideas or suggestions
for resolving my Payne furnace problem. I posted it over 24 hours ago.
If any one might be interested yet, I'd be interested in hearing from
you. The post is on the 24th with subject: Pain Furnace, er I mean
Payne. Thanks, I hope! Kayle

Here is the original post:

This ol' furnace has been acting up for a month or so. It's a
Payne,
but I can not find the model number, nor do I know how old it is.
The
red light is doing a 3/4 blink sequence and everything works up to the

burner staying on. The fan ends up blowing coolish air for a minute
or
so, then the whole thing starts over again and eventually after
several
attempts the burner stays on and warm air gets blown. Tonight this
went
on for over an hour without any heat being made, so I shut it all
down.
Any ideas? Should I try restarting it? There is no gas odor, but is
there still a risk? I have plenty of warm woolies to put on, but
their
kinda scratchy and company is due Saturday. Any help would be
greatly
appreciated! Thanks, Kayle
