Ruud Silhouette II, automatic pilot
Started it up for the first time this season- pilot glows, gas blows in
and starts burning for a few seconds then flames and pilot die.
Blowing cold air.

Forgot to mention only the chamber on the side with the pilot starts
burning, no flames at all on the other side.

Sounds like a bad thermocouple. Safety circuit will close the gas valve if the
burner doesn't warm up quick enough.

Probably a safety device doing its job. Please tell us what
the repaair tech finds.

Did you expect it to blow hot air after only a few seconds??

What repair tech? After doing some research online I blew it all out
with an air hose and it is now working fine. Something was clogged up
with dust or whatever.

Yes. It always did before.

You just experienced the KISS principle of repair. I went on
four service calls today and one was "no trouble found" and
two were "wire unplugged" and the other was a "spring out of
place". All very simple repairs that required me to drive all
over the darned county. I spent more time on hold with dispatch
than I did repairing things. I never ceased to be amazed at the
simple things I find wrong. I do have a head scratcher every
now and then, things like hairline cracks, pinhole leaks and
I've not only found bugs in equipment but I found an electrocuted
mouse across the power terminals of a compressor. I love my work.

Stand by for repeat occurance. Since you're not sure what
was wrong, or what you changed.

I had the same symptom with the same brand and model name. Mine has the
electric igniter surface, not a pilot light.

The problem with mine was the flame sensor. A very light sanding and it
has been working well for the past two years.
