If it is in the wash room odds are you need to clean the flame sensor

OK no problem, I will help you threw this.
First take the top door off your unit

Then locate the burners, on one side will be the ignitor, usually the right. And on the other side will be the flame rod.

Have you ever watched the unit to see exactly what is going wrong on it?

Joshdta
Apr 14, 2009, 04:43 PM
Also your fault codes should be on the back of one of the doors, or in your owners manual

Yes, If I turn the unit off and back on after I take the cover off it seem to for fine over night but when I get home in the evening it's back to the same thing. That which is I turn the thermostat up it kicks on and off after a quick cycle and goes off until I take the cover off and restart it again

OK well try the flame sensor, and while you are down there look on the back of the furnace doors for the fault code chart and see if it matches what you found online. And get back too me. I am usually on here in the morning around 8 and in the evenings for a hr or so.. josh

The blower doesn't run all the time and the error light has stopped flashing and its been working fine since the cleaning of the flame sensor.

Thanks again
