    Furnace won't turn on
    My mother in law has a Goodman furnace (model unknown) that keeps going out.

    She has had a Technician out twice in 3 days. The first time he replaced the pressure switch the second time said the unit was overheating causing it to shut down and made the necessary adjustments. I cleaned the flame sensor.

    It works for a short time and then shuts down. She has to manually power off the unit wait a while power it back for it to start working.

    She is retired on a fixed income and can't afford the $90.00 per visit the technician wants to charge.

    Any suggestions?

    The service person should be coming back for free since they never did fix the problem.

Furnace won't turn off [ 2 Answers ]

Our furnace won't turn off. I turned the heat off at the thermostat and no luck. I changed out the thermostat with a new one and it is doing the same thing. If the breaker is off, the fan and heat are off; is the breaker is on, the fan and heat are on even if the thermostat is set to off. We...
