My forced air furnace does not stay lit when the heat is turned on. I climbed into the attic where it is located and had my wife set the thermostat to heat. I observed the burners light and watched the Honeywell limit switch start to do it's thing but after about a minute the limit switch clicked, the flames died and the transformer which is wired with the limit switch seemed to go dead. Nothing worked. No a/c, no heat, not even the fan. After several minutes of cooling everything will work again as long as I don't use the heat. This is an older wood frame house in Houston and I'm not sure but I believe this unit was installed in the early to mid 80's.
I could also use a schematic for this thing. I can't seem to locate one on the unit.
I believe the transformer/fan center may not be wired correctly because there is a brown wire from it that is not connected to anything and some other wires from the fan that are terminated but not connected.
Any idea where I can get the schematic ?
Is the problem with my limit switch or something else ?
