i need help. i have a tappan furnace I just changed thermostat cause that was cheap to fix and thought it might be problem, but not. The furnace does not stay consistantly running. If i turn power or thermostat on/off it will come on and run and perodically it turns on and runs normally, but problem is thermostat is set at 72 and never runs long enough to reach over 68??? I do not know what to do next, please help!
Tappan furnace model# G6RA120C-16 any idea how old this might be? I looked it had four flashed which says ignition failer (check ground) what could cause that? what can i fix? i reset it and now no flashes but as i stated it will work for while and stop! yellow light (flame sensor) also flashes meaning low flame sensor, i do not know if that is bad or normal??? please help do not have money for tech to come out and fix, thank you!
it all looks ok that is what i do not understand purge fans goes on electronic ingnitor heats up gas goes on and lights runs for a while sometimes it stays going and some times it will start and stop over and over and then not start up by itself for a while unless i restart by turning off and then on? right now been running fine for hours but this morning woulnt stay running for longer than a couple of minutes. so all works at times ?? any ideas? From anyone, thank you for the help!
