    Bryant furnace burner cutting out
    I have a 10 year old Bryant model 376CAV (92,000 btu) downflow furnace. The electronic igniter will glow at the appropriate time and ignite the flame but the flame will cut out shortly after the ignitor shuts off. This happens repeatedly through many cycles/attempts to maintain ignition.This has happened in the past (about 4 years ago) and vacuuming any sediment out of the relief box seemed to cure it (possibly the furnace is pressure sensitive and a partial block in the relief was to blame?). This is not the case this time as I have shop vac'd the relief box again to no avail unless possibly there is more blockage than I thought. You can only get so far into the relief box with a shop vac. Any ideas and/or suggestions on what could possibly be the problem would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Check the self test feature. How many blinks.

    Look on inside door for the blink code.

    Another possibility.

    Clean flame sensor see this link for location.
