    You are a lifesaver. I noticed the heat wasn’t kicking on and the flame would only ignite for like 10 seconds then shut off. I removed the filter to make sure it wasn’t an airflow issue and it still happened. The flame light on the control board would blink when the flame was on. I cleaned the flame sensor with some sandpaper and reinstalled, now the flame stays on and the light on the board is solid instead of blinking so I think it worked. Seriously huge thanks to you for saving me the money and headache.

    • @jimbarron8688
      @jimbarron8688 ปีที่แล้ว

      The flame sensor signal is very small measured at approx. 4-7 micro amps DC. Any oxidation or the build up of mercaptan on the sensing rod will impede this signal and shut off the gas valve circuit on flame failure. Keeping it clean with a few light passes of very fine steel wool is the best prevention.

    Interesting, I can’t tell on my unit which part of two is the flame sensor. Theres two possibilities. But my heater sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. It seems to work after turning my system off for a bit and then turning it back on. So now I’m wondering if my thermostat control limits how many times my heater can turn on in a given amount of time, like an hour. I’ve heard that some systems have controls to set the limits on how many times a heater or AC could turn on in an hour or so.

    • @DIYwithMichaelBorders
      @DIYwithMichaelBorders  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks for watching, that’s definitely a possibility. In the meantime, are any of your floor vents throughout your home covered in any way?
      All it takes is one floor vent to be covered by a rug or a dresser, causing a backflow of air pressure that the furnace can detect and lead to a system shut down for safety purposes.

    Is it not odd that the blower comes on well before the inducer does?

    This is indeed a very common issue. You can also use fine grit sand paper to clean the sensor rod. I find it’s more effective than the brush as it covers more surface area in a single stroke, and you can modulate the grinding pressure more easily as well.

      Good morning, we are drinking our morning coffee answering any and all questions for the DIY community.
      This is usually caused by a worn out blower fan mount. The large blower fan can begin spinning in a slightly offset manner while furnace is running.
      After furnace turns off, the blower fan begins to wind down and once at a slower rotation speed, it sometimes hits the mount and makes a bang or clunk sound.
