Gee, 'nothing happens' would indicate no fan either. Check the breaker to
see if it's blow for some reason. You say 'no click' which indicates it may
be pilotless, so it could be a bad igniter assembly. Or, if it does have a
pilot, it is either out, or the thermocouple has failed.

Not much else you can do yourself if you haven't got the skills to diagnose
it any furhter but call the repairman. Depending on how cold you are
expecting, do it quick before you end up needing a plumber for frozen pipes
as well! If it's expected to get that cold and you can't get it repaired,
leave a few sinks running just slightly to keep some water flowing in the
pipes. Pick sinks the furthest from where the water lines enter the house,
and do a cold and a hot. Just cause the water heater is still heating the
water, the pipes a few feet from the tank can still freeze if it drops low
enough.

My old GE ambassador mark II furnace suddenly went
out. It is a natural gas forced air furnace about 15 years old.
I just replaced the thermostat, but no luck. The furnace is getting
power, but when I turn it on, absolutely nothing happens. No spark, no
click, nothing. I can hear the thermostat click, so I know it
is working. Any advice???? Its going be cold tonight...
