My furnace which is a ComfortMaker RPJ II is not working. The dummy
light is a continuous flash which states that the "flame is sensed but
there is no call for heat". Anyone have any suggestions? What is weird
is that when i shut of the breaker for the furnace and turn it back on
the furnace sounds like it wants to start and then it goes off after a
few seconds.....Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks



You can try cleaning the thermocouple. That's the part the pilot
flame plays on. If it doesn't work try replacing it. Its easy enough
to do and its sure a lot cheaper than calling a service guy. That's
usually the cause of the problem you described. Even if that's not
the cause you still have a brand new thermocouple installed that will
last you a lot longer than the old one.
