Default Gas Furnace Flame Jets Start, then Die Out

I'm trying to get an idea of what my problem might be. The thermostat
triggers the furnace, one by one the gas flame jets start going, then
they cut out, then one by one they try to start up again, then they
all die out except for an orange glow, then the blower comes on and
shoots out the cold air. I turned off power to my furnace for half an
hour, and when i turned it back on, and it worked as expected.
Anybody have any thoughts to the problem?


well it could be a number of things. If you are very low on gas (on LP
gas) or your pressure regulator (at the supply head) is frozen it can
easily cause this problem and is most likely. You could also have a
bad thermal cutoff switch telling your furnace's gas valve to cut
off.

best bet is the first option. It really sounds like you're low on gas
pressure. If you find that your gas supply is just fine and there are
no problems there- your best bet is to call a licensed professional to
have them service your furnace.
