My upstairs furnace (located in the attic) has no flame. It buzzes when the thermostat demands heat then about 30 seconds later the fan comes on, but no flame. I managed to light the pilot light manually but it did not change the behavior in the slightest.

I suspect the gas valve is bad since it seemingly has a solenoid in it (I'm guessing that's the buzzing sound). It is a Honeywell Model VR800A1228 which is replaced (according to their website) with a model VR8200A2132.

I can get the part on eBay for $55 or so.

But even if I'm right, I don't readily see how to change out the valve.

Anyone know if I'm likely right? And if so, how do I change out the valve?

Thanks a ton of any help!

Brand name?
Exact model number?

Just figured it out. It was nothing more than the pilot light! I thought I had lit it but I hadn't turned the switch back to the "on" position.

Thanks!
Obviously a rookie

Easy job.LOL
