    I take it this must be an oil furnace? You need to call a serviceman to service it. PS never reset an oil furnace 10x's. Three is enough. Also tell the service man how many times you reset it so he can burn all the fuel out before he goes to light it. There is so much fuel soaked into the heat exchanger at this point, the furnace will practically uninstall itself should it light!

Furnace Blower won't stay on [ 1 Answers ]
