Its 30 below in Western Canada and this furnace is misbehaving:
Furnace motor starts and runs for at least 60 seconds then shuts off
Furnace chimney vent motor runs for 30 seconds
Igniter glows red hot and gas lights successfully.
Burner stays lit for 5-20 seconds then shuts down (furnace motor off at this time)
After burner shuts down furnace motor starts for 30 seconds then shuts down
after 10 second delay
Igniter glows red hot and gas is lit.
Burner stays lit for 5-20 seconds then shuts down (furnace motor off)
After burner shuts down furnace motor starts for 30 seconds then shuts down
This happens 4 times, then the furnace shuts off for at least 1 hour then sometimes successfully restarts.
When it successfully restarts, the only difference is the furnace motor starts running before the burner cuts out.
I hear from the previous owner that this has been a problem for several years.
What he did was turn off the switch to the furnace and turn it back on, and it would usually restart successfully.
I an concerned there is potential safety problems in addition to the fact it won't reliably light. Product details below.
