How many wires do you have coming from air handler and what color are they? How many wires does your heatpump have and what color are they? How did you wire the thermostat and the air handler? Google...

Sorry I've been real busy lately. I saw the picture of the contactor. On your last reply you said that you checked the contactor on what you thought was the low voltage side (24volt). From the...

One more thing. Remember that a company to stay in business has to make a profit. He has to charge for the equipment, material, labor, insurance for the laborers and company, worker's comp,a...

They are both made by the same company... Carrier/ICP. Don't look at the Brand, do your homework on the installation company. Ask the insurance company what contractor are they going to use so that...

Google this part number [ GSV53CK198 ]. Look at it and see if it will work. It's a universal type gas valve that replaces a lot of obsolete ones. You'll find it at your nearest H.V.A.C. supply store....
-
Make sure that the thermostat is wired correctly as T-Top mentioned RH and RC need a jumper. The yellow wire needs to be connected to the Y terminal and at the furnace their should be two wires...
-
This can be several things. The most common reason is the circuit board. That's funny, I just left a home with that exact problem and it was the circuit board. Make sure that the fan switch is set to...
-
It sounds like your circuit board needs to be replaced. Turn off the power to furnace. Remove the circuit board from furnace without disconnecting any wires. They sometimes show burn marks on the...
-
If you already checked the pressure on your propane tank and its sufficient then its probably your gas valve. Needs to be adjusted our more likely replaced. This its definitely not something you can...
-
It looks like a car fuse the kind that you pull out and they are made of plastic. Usually yellow our orange. The power needs to be of when you do this. The only place you'll probably find it its in...
-
It sounds like you blew the fuse on the circuit board. It should be on the bottom half of the furnace.
-
Heat rises naturally that's why you have this problem.
You first need to check that the vent downstairs is blowing enough air.
Then check to make sure that everything is weatherstriped tight.Check...
-
Try turning the thermostat's fan switch to on. Then let me know if it blows. Do not turn on the heat or cool when you do this, I'm trying to eliminate the possibility that it might be the blower/fan...
-
If you're handy with tools then you might want to try replacing the gas flex connector. They're cheap and all you have to do to replace it is turn off the gas valve to remove it.
-
To check a capacitor you need to turn off the power to unit. Pull the wires from the capacitor very, very carefully because it holds a charge and will shock you. Then read the sticker which should...
-
The has valve is inside the furnace. Follow the gas line into the furnace and when it gets into a box shape component with wires coming out , that's the gas valve.
-
Try tapping on the gas valve when it starts clicking/sparking. Use something like a screw driver. If it turns on then you might have a bad gas valve.
-
Wait a minute... so it doesn't spark all the time you turn the thermostat to heat?
-
-
You might have a bad pressure switch, vent pipe might be clogged, fan switch might have gone bad or blower motor is not turning on because of a bad capacitor or fan switch. This is not something you...
-
Every thermostat has about a 4 degree band. When you set the temp. to 70 it will not come on until the temp. drops 4 degrees below 70. You can adjust this band by going in to the advance programming...
-
It sounds like you are using a heat strip for heat.(Electric heat) Your heat strip might have failed and you need to replace it. If you also have a heat pump then the outdoor unit might have a...
-
Sorry, never mind this answer. I forgot you said it comes on when you push the contactor. That rules out the capacitor theory.
-
Oh! I almost forgot... make sure that the dual run capacitor is good. Sometimes you can tell they have gone bad when they look swollen or are leaking fluid. The capacitor looks like a big battery...
-
You are getting 24v on the contactor when the thermostat is calling for heat? If so then you have a bad contactor. Their's no reason that the unit should not come on if the contactor coil is...
-
I agree with smoothy. You need to provide us with more info. Tell us what you are trying to achieve so we can be more helpful.
-
I agree with T-top. Make sure you have gas going to the gas valve and that if it has a switch, that it is in the on position.
-
Can you recognize the tune? Joke... I've never heard of that problem. I'm curious though. Have you tried bending the gas flex connector under the wall furnace. It connects the gas from the gas shut...
-
Typically manufacturers replace parts with better ones once they find that a part is a known offender. I don't think it's the brand. Make sure that your furnace is sized properly. It might be running...
-
You said when he pushed the door on the furnace came on?. Sounds like the door switch or the force of closing the door could have unstuck a safety switch like the pressure switch or limit switch....
-
How did you short your hot surface igniter? By control box, you mean thermostat? If your hot surface igniter is shorted then take it to your nearest hvac supply store and get a new one. They also...
-
I agree, it's very likely the ignition control board. If you want a second possibility it might also be something as silly as a loose connector or wire to the blower motor.
-
Need more info on the type of furnace and how it's installed. So far it sound like a limit switch is being triggered.
-
Sounds like you have a lazy tech. Tell him he needs to remove the blower from the furnace to properly attach that limit switch. These switches are there for safety reasons and if your tech is not...
-
The installer was not very good. That yellow cap you removed should have had a hose attached to it. That hose should have gone to a trap. That trap then drains to an approved lection....
