Its a 16 year old heil gas furnace with clicking (piezo starter?)

1. The thermostat turns on the furnace ok
2. The furnace clicks on the ignition flame with clicking and the
burners come on ok.

BUT!

3. The clicking never stops, and continues randomly and rapidly even
with the burners on.

4. Often the burners get extinguished due to rapid clicking as the
ignition (I think) for a second turns off the gas and attempts to
re-start the burners again and they do come on again within 2 seconds
or so.

5. This whole burners going on-off and clicking stops when the
thermostat turns off the furnace / target temperature has been
reached.

help!

Regards,
Jim B.

Do you think the ignition is bad.. Can I replace it?

thanks!
JB

Possible, ?? could possibly be whatever triggers the ignition too.
I am not a hvac man, play one at home tho sometimes............lol,
These guys usually won't tell you nothing, I guess its for good reason
tho.........
A Gas furnace, does of course have the potential to be VERY dangerous!
Sometimes if you read between the lines you can learn something
tho..........
Again, I'll probley get hell, but might want to try Taping ,(Taping now, not
beating the **** out of,..........lol) the ignition box when it is doing
that.

The problem is that there is no way to tell without being there to test it.

Before you go and start changing parts (that probably isn't the cure),
call someone that can diagnose the problem and fix it.

It will be cheaper to do that, then to change parts you can't take back.
