I have a Carrier Gas Furnace Model #58GS050-2
When I turn the thermostat to Auto or Heat and call for heat, the
electronic ignition clicks, fires up but then nothing afterwards!
I
let the pilot stay in this state for 5, 10, 15 minutes but the
furnace
never kicks in.
Do I have a faulty solenoid? Again, the pilot lights just fine.
Any help would be extremely appreciated.
Happy new year (brrrrrr)

the problem is a dirty flame sensor. find the metal rod that is
in
the pilot flame and sand it clean.

Hi,
When sensor gets rusty, it does not work well. Remove it and gently
rub
off rust/dirt with fine grade sand paper or emery cloth and
reinstall.
Furnace works on sequential logic(step by step), really no brainer.
1. Call for heat.
2. Ignite gas as main valve opens.
3. Sense the flame.
4. After buit-in delay, turn on the fan.
So seems like you're stuck in the step where it should sense the
flame.
Can't you read the error code off the control module? My Carrier
Weathermatic gives off error code by way of blinking LED on control
module.
HNY,

Tony, have you ever worked on a Carrier furnace model the OP has? I
did not
think so! You description is not even close!
Greg
Oh yeah. Pretty close to what the manual for my gas furnace
says. I would suspect that every 85 efficiency gas furnace
would have about the same sequence of events. He left out
starting the inductor fan and yes the ignition starts and
then the gas valve opens but the sequence is pretty damn
close. Some of you guys act like it's some kind of black
art that nobody but 20 year veterans can figure out.
Anybody that is reasonably smart and has mechanical
apptitude and reads the manual can figure it out, especially
if someone helps him with some of the arcane terminology.
This is jb books
you are right george. every furnace has the same identical start up
steps to accomplish the same thing. manufactures may vary the way
they accomplish it but he sequence is always the same. his furnace is
stuck at no pilot senced stage. these guys make it harder than it has
to be.
Same identical start up? No...I think not.
sometimes i think this group of big mouth owners never actually do any
of the manual labor part of this job. i think they sit in chairs and
talk **** on here all day. i think they have forgotton how to work on
furnaces. crazy isn't it.
I will make you the same offer I made Stormin Mormon, AKA Chris Young...you
come work for me a day...you make the same thing you normally make, or
better, and the only other thing thats different, is we get to tape you
working for a training vid...you might be in the section titled, This is how
its done right, or you might be in the section titled, You never want to do
this stupid ****.
heres a tip for you lurkers that own carier or bryant furnaces. if
it gets stuck in pilot take a big screwdriver and rap the pilot a few
times banging the handle of the screwdriver on the silver pilot
assembly and see if the burners come on. carrier and bryant use that
type of pilot all the time with spark type pilot. they call it a
three wire pilot here for i learned everything i know from here.
Now its obvious that you are clueless, or else you would have thrown in
Tempstar and Payne, since ICP is the company that owns them all....and just
tell me what in hell is gonna happen when someone takes your advice, has a
pacemaker installed, and the damn things got a spark ignitor with 10,000
volts behind it?
OR they dont know what kind of ignition they have and its a HSI and they
destroy the ignitor? How about those old gaspacks that use a standing pilot
with a relight system and its bad? Amazing that you have survived this long
without someone getting hurt.
