    My furnace has a fusible link in the top of the burner airbox that's wired in series with the gas valve, meaning if this is open the control won't allow the gas valve to open. The fusible link will open (fusible links in general usually melt) if it gets too hot inside so it's a safety device.

    Check your wiring diagram (should be inside one of the covers) to see if you have something like this.

    If you find it, you can easily check to see if you have continuity through it.

    If you don't have one, or if it checks OK, then the limit switch likely is the problem which it could be in either case.

Thermal protection device open? [ 0 Answers ]

I have an American Standard Freedom 80. The blower turns on when heat is called for but as the glow plug is not "lit", no gas comes through and there is no ignition = NO HEAT. I am very ignorant to the workings of furnaces and need some advice. Do I simply try to replace the glow plug? How can...
