Funny how men like myself will wake up at 1 a.m. sensing something is wrong with a lower temperature (6F drop) in the house. Here it is 4 a.m. and I have already ordered from the big A a new igniter with expected delivery in a day; I will have to do the work myself as it is too difficult to find a competent trustworthy service shop anymore. A non-contact voltage sensor showed AC voltage to the igniter but no inner glow as you show in your video. An ohm meter showed an open circuit; I would expect less than 200 ohms from online info. I will wear rubber gloves in case I accidentally touch the heater. Last year I had to replace the inducer fan. Thank you for this great helpful video.
Thank you for this!!! Single mama here and our heat went out for almost a week. Figured out what was wrong and what needed to be replaced, but once the part came in I had literally zero idea on what to do.

thanks very much but my black "this little thing" is melted and I don't know how to order a new one any help finding out where to get a new one @DMAdventuresandHVAC
At my wits end for a fix so I thought I should ask here. I have a coleman dgaa070bdta natural gas furnace that keeps throwing the 4 flashing lights code for the limit switches. I have changed both and also have changed the control board thermostat and thermostat wires. It still throws the code so I'm not sure what else to do. Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you
@@Victoryhomeservices209 yes it will blow hot air for about 3 cycles then shuts off and throws the code. It will come back on after an hour or so and do it all over again.
@@chrisginter6211 it’s most likely overheating and tripping the high limit. I’m pretty sure the limits were OK it’s getting too hot. There’s either a blockage somewhere or the blower motor is not working correctly dirty filters, close registers plugged evaporator coil something like that.
All of my furnace turns on but it stays on and doesn’t actually heat the house very much when it’s running for awhile I got look and the flame is out but it’s still blowing? what issue do you think this is I already changed the pilot like two three months ago 😞
@@Victoryhomeservices209 I took it out and put it back and it would turn on the fan but when it goes off and I try using the thermostat it still doesn’t work. Do you have any idea of what else it might be?
You could have a bad gas valve or circuit board if you can check to see if you’re getting 24 V to the gas valve you’ll need a multimeter also there could be a spiderweb stuck in the gas orfice I have a video about the spiderweb check it out spiderweb is very common
Thanks for sharing this video as it helped me repair the igniter issue. I did notice at 6:30 into the video, when replacing the metal heat shield, it was installed backwards. Suggest updating your video as this may create a new issue with the protection (or lack of) provided by the heat shield.
This is huge. I just purchased a trailer with a decent Coleman furnace. The previous owner said the ignitor needed to be replaced. So this shows me what I need to do. Thanks.
@@Victoryhomeservices209 If when and when I turn on thermostat to initiate heat....it takes about 5 min after the burner has been on for the blower to start blowing air. (Then) once it starts blowing air, the blower stops blowing air and shuts off for about 2 to 4 mins and then kicks back on and this happens the whole time. You feel like it could be the flame sensor??
@@Olivia07262007 sounds like it’s overheating or you have a problem with the fan limit switch how old is your furnace? Are the doors brown or are the white?
@@Victoryhomeservices209 Thank you for your response. My Coleman unit is in a mobile home and the doors a brown I believe it is from 1979 same age as home. I have a photo of the unit.
@Gino Camarillo it’s most likely your fan limit switch or relay that controls your blower motor if it keeps going off and on by itself does the burner keep the flame on? While the fan stops?
You started saying that if the flame don't go out of the circle, but never finished the sentence. Mine is not going out very much. And it blows cold air.
Can a faulty gas valve that seems to be producing a bigger flame but doesn't seem to be very colorful blue but doesn't seem to have more than normal yellow tips, make real low flame rectification on the multimeter ? When the furnace gets to the point when the blower kicks on, it will instantly shut off the gas valve. On my multimeter it fluctuates anywhere between 0 at one point to 2.5 at the most but it fluctuates the whole time until the gas valve shuts off. Any help would really be appreciated ! Thank You Bob
I have cleaned the sensor which looked like new anyway because I just replaced it last year and the flame kind of looks like its its not touching the sensor all the time like its getting blown past it with the gas valve pressure or something. I can upload a short video so you can see it if you would really take the time. This definitely isn't the time of year for my furnace to give me issues !I have been messing with this furnace for a week now and figured out how I can keep the valve opened with unplugging the wires running to the valve and running a 24 volt wire from the transformer to the valve when the board calls for it to turn on by the relay and let the house warm up during the day and when it gets warm I unplug the gas valve to shut it down but I have to be awake when doing this so I cant run it while sleeping. Waiting for parts to get here like the valve which I really think it is. I already have a new board and sensor but don't want to install it until I install the valve first, so I can return them if not needed. Would this be asking too much if I was to upload a video of the flame and see what you think sir ? Thank You Bob
Yes ignition failure ... 1 flash but when I jump the valve with 24 volts then the board flashes 5 times which says gas valve energized with no call for heat which makes sense. I really APPRECIATE all your time trying to help me get this pile going ! :)
I had a question my furnace ia almost identical to this one by the yellow wire coming from the themocouple is notconnected to anything where does it go
What indicated it was the igniter? My furnace calls for heat from the t-stat, I hear something buzzing on the furnace. I did change out the ignition controller but same issue, could my igniter be the issue?
I checked to see if there was 120v going to the igniter there was voltage going to it which means the igniter was bad if you don’t have voltage going to it that would be the circuit board
Help! I have the same furnace, except my gas line is different, it's stiff and doesn't allow me to pull it away from the ignitor housing to access the flame sensor/etc - - how else could I access it?
I have a pilot light, and I can't see any flame at the back. Just not sure how to test and find out what's wrong? It just all the sudden stopped working. The pilot won't light, and no appointment openings for a month unless I want to pay $200 for emergency service. Ugh
I changed the limit switch because that's was the code it was giving me. I also replaced the ignitor and the furnace still doesn't blow heat. The flame is off and it's still giving me a code for the limit switch. Any ideas?
From your experience in the field What brand is the best furnace you can buy for a mobile home ? In other words performance/ issues /part cost when they fail
Hello Sr, I replaced the igniter but the big burner still doesn’t turn on, I tried turning on the fan by itself and it worked but not the burner, any idea?

Yeah I’m pretty sure you can find it on Amazon just search Coleman igniter make sure it’s the long lead so the wires reach all the way outside the burner compartment It’s a carbide igniter
The company I work for has a contractor license we get them from Johnstone Supply you can get them on eBay or Amazon just search Coleman long lead igniter
My company has a contractor license we get them from Johnstone Supply you can get them on eBay or Amazon just search Coleman long lead igniter for mobile home
This may sound stupid, but does that furnace use gas or propane? I recently bought a mobile home and it has a Coleman 7663, I called the gas company and they said they have no records of the home ever using gas, there is a propane tank in the back but not connected.
The main limit switch should be next to the circuit board box it’s a circle switch with two wires going in to it or there could be one up by the blower motor if it’s the auxiliary limit that limit is inside the furnace next to the heat exchanger which requires the whole furnace to be taken apart hope this helps
@@nctrnlmjsty8719 yeah one of your limit switches are bad or one needs to be reset some models have an auxiliary limit which is deep inside the furnace that you won’t be able to access if it is that limit that sometimes indicates that the chamber got too hot and there could be a possible crack
I just noticed Terry Wunderlich commented on the heat shield installed backwards from 2 years ago. Consider placing a warning on your video so others don't make the same error.
This one uses natural gas most furnaces in the city will be natural gas but if you live in a rural area it could be propane it should say on the data plate or by the gas valve there should be a small metal tag on a screw by the gas valve that says natural gas or LP for propane thanks for watching 👍
Typically when that happens it means your flame sensor is either dirty of failing, Mine did that it would start and then turn off after about 10 seconds it would repeat this 3 times then it would shut it self off. The easy way to help narrow it down is the furnace should have a diagnostic trouble light on the control box and it should flash a certain number of times to tell you wheat the problem is. I replaced my flame sensor and that fixed the issue my light code was 1 flash indicating ignition failure even thought you could clearly see the flame was burning which indicated that the flame sensor was faulty. Hope this helps
The furnace was set up on natural gas mode and gas is propane:(but now its fixed for propane, however when it got pulled out there was alot black carbon(soot) around the area and the flame rod sensor was damage. The flame rod sensor got replaced and ignitor cleaned, there's glow but no flame. What else could be the issue?
If the igniter glows but no flame could be a bad gas valve or clogged burner or orfice there is a brass piece on the valve that needs to be unscrewed and turned in the direction for propane they come set from factory for natural gas
@@Victoryhomeservices209 they changed the orfice and brass piece to LP but if the gas valve is still defective. Is it possible that it could of been defective from the manufacturer? or because the orifice and the brass on the valve was not set to LP for two weeks when the furnace was installed & running?
Terry Wunderlich yes I did ! I do that to protect the igniter as much as possible , less heat directly on the ceramic base extends the life been doing it that way for 10 + years.. the sleeve on the igniter aren’t as long as the factory ones so I keep them back by where the flames are to protect wires as much as possible thanks for watching 👍
Quick question do I have to turn off the propane valve to do this? And also the breaker that powers the furnace unit? Or just the button on the circuit board like you did on 10:56 ?
MrLowrider3 You can just turn the power switch off to the furnace like I did if you feel more safe You can turn off the breaker no need to turn off propane
Can I use an ignitor with shorter leads? I have an ignitor that should work fine but the leads are only 5", I was going to cut the leads off the old ignitor and use wire nuts to connect the connecting part of the leads to my new ignitor.
Kris Krenn you can wire nut it but it will melt over time causing a short if you are going to use wire nuts it needs to be ceramic I would just buy the proper igniter so you don’t have any further problems check out amazon sonic cobray posted a link good luck!
