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.

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?


United Technologies is the company that owns CARRIER, Carrier is Bryant,
Payne, and the now defunct Day & Nite. United Technologies also owns Inner
City Products. ICP is Heil, Tempstar, Comfortmaker, and Kenmore.

You make a couple good points through your post , and ruin it at the end
sounding like an idiot.
