Hi all,
I have a 6 year old Trane XR80 furnace that will not stay lit. It will light for about 2-3 mins than will go out. It will stay out until the system is turned off for a significant amount of time. The filters are new and I have cleaned the burner parts. What other things can I check? Thanks for your time.

The flame sensor is probably dirty and needs to be cleaned. If you do not know what this part is it might be better to call for professional service.

Ir is a thin rod type item and needs to be cleaned with sandpaper or steel wool. Be careful the insulator can break. Then you can buy a new one.
