    Coleman evcon furnace doesn't work properly
    Coleman evcon model #bgm075166
    Here is process:
    I turn to temp with thermostat
    Furnace comes on and there's a click for the ignitor
    Ignitor glows then flame is started
    Ignitor clicks then turns off
    Then the flame cuts off shortly after the ignitor does
    The furnace then retries to ignite 2 times and fails and shuts down with 7 flash code which indicates "ignition lockout due to retries"

    At first I thought maybe house temp is just too warm for the furnace to start but it takes the house temp to drop a lot until it self-ignite
    When it does self-ignite it works fine and comes on properly
    Always seem to have this problem during late night ,early morning hours

    Locate and clean the flame sensor. You will usually find it situated in front of the main burner OPPOSITE the ignitor, looks like a ceramic-insulated rod connected to a single wire. Use steel wool or fine sandpaper.
