My Rheem Criterion will not ignite. RGDG 10EAMER CW5D302 F3293 3052
There is power to the unit, it worked last night. The thermostat is definitely sending the signal to the furnace to start. Gas is on, water heater pilot is working.
I watched a start cycle.
1) Small blower started
2) Small gas release sound
3) Large blower started
4) “BBQ” type pop, I assume from igniter
5) More gas release sound
6) No flames
My order may be a little off, I was not documenting it.
Little help please. I am handy but I know very little about HVAC.
I looked through a few other threads and this next section is from them:
There are no error messages on the board.
I do not know where the board is or what an error message looks like.
does your system have a hot surface igniter, or a spark igniter.
I am not sure, I think it is a spark.
Check to make sure that the pressure switch tube port on the draft inducer is not plugged.
I don’t know what this means.
Thanks.
