    Trane Gas Furnace just stopped working
    I have a Trane XL80 gas furnace. It also has a heat pump for ref. Today, the temp in our home dropped and I noticed that the furnace was not working. I opened it up, and vacuumed it out, and have no idea why it started working. All was good!

    However, hours later, the temp is again dropping. I opened it up again and noticed that on the right side there is a white plastic box (model 50E-47-60)with a bunch of wires running out of it at the bottom. On the left side bottom of the box, there is a small red light blinking. It states that if the red light is steady to replace the box. It also states that if the red light is blinking to consult the owners manual. Our home is 18 years old, and we are not the first owner. NO MANUAL.

    Does anyone have an idea what the problem is? Is there a fuse, circuit breaker somewhere or?? Earlier this morning, a ribbon or?? Turned red hot to ignite the gas after a few moments. This evening, the ribbon or heating element does not turn on.

    Thanks,

    Jim

    My suggestion is to call a professional. It could be a flame rod/flame sensor dirty or a list of many other items. From the sound of your post you have no manual to tell what the number of blinks mean.

    You might try to look on the inside of the blower door at the drawing there. It should have a blink schedule there. If you can find that post back.
