Bryant Gas Heater Needs Rebooting time to time
I have a Bryant gas heater I had installed in 1991. It is a model 394 and the model number is 394GAZ203675. From time to time the heater stops coming on and of course I don't notice it until I start to get cold. As soon as I turn off the furnace and turn it back on it immediately starts up and works fine. In the past this might happen every week, every few months, etc. Lately about 2x per day. I have also noticed that the spark would time out before the heater would light. Again, it was fine after the heater was switched on and off. I haven't called a repair man up until now because I know how terrifically difficult it is to diagnose an intermittent fault and I don't want to pay for having parts taken off and replaced until the right one is finally discovered. Then I would get charged for all the parts including all the ones that were unnecessary. I checked this out with a heater repair outfit.
By the way sorry about the username. It gives me a fit of laughter every time I see it. By the way, I'm not.
