furnace trouble - DIY Chatroom

jkwilson · 10-28-2009, 05:21 PM

i have a carrier 58gc100-2a gas furnace want to know if i have the right thermocouple on it i put a Johnstone 30" L36-070 on it is this right because the pilot will not stay lit?

That thermocouple should work. Do you have a good pilot flame hitting it ? If not the pilot orifice may need cleaning.

Most thermocouples are universal. I agree with Mike about checking that the t-couple is in the pilot flame. If it is double check the t-couple is tight with the gas valve. If it checks out you may have a bad gas valve and the pull in coil has high resistance to the milivolt generated by the t-couple

plumer 1 duh! i was not asking for the obvious i wanted some intellegent info. i cleaned it, i checked to see if the flame was hitting it i put a new gas valvle in all before i posted the problem. so, the furnace runs ine cycle shuts down and the pilot does not want to relight the voltages are all good the gas presure may be a little strong but thats it what now?

Apparently, Plumber failed the mind reading course 101 like many of us did.
