Re: [A/S] Furnace
My furnace quit last year. All it would do is start and blow cold air.
I checked the bottles, plenty of gas. Gas water heater was working OK.
Removed the ignitor from the furnace which was covered with soot.
Cleaned it of by scraping with a kitchen knife. Reinstalled and that was
it, the hot air was back.
Worked OK for a week or two and the problem came back.
Re cleaned the ignitor and all was well again for a while.
Turns out the regulator at the tanks had a leaky diaphram
causing the soot to accumulate.
Replaced regulator ($39.00), recleaned the ignitor and
SO FAR SO GOOD.
You might try cleaning the ignitor. Who knows?
