    Heat will not come on
    Furnace has electronic ignition. Pilot comes on for 30-60 seconds but heater does not kick on. Help please.

    Brand and age of furnace please? Does the pilot stay lit? Or go out after 30 seconds?

    The furnace is a Goodman 1988. The pilot goes out after 30 seconds.

    Turn off the power, look for a small metal rod sticking into the pilot flame and clean it with fine sandpaper or steel wool. Turn the furnace back on. Did this do anything?

    Cleaned it and still have the same problem. Sometimes when I turn the switch on the thermostat to heat it clicks of and on in about 1 second and have to keep messing with it to get to get it to work for the pilot to come on.
