I replaced the thermocouple in my gas furnace and it is running longer than it did before but it still shut off so what is the problem?

It could be a couple of things:
1. Wha is the condition of the pilot light? Does it have a yellow or white color to it? If so it will need to be cleaned. It could also be buring with to much pressure and blowing itself out.
2. What is the thermocouple connected to? If it is a silver color box (and not directly the gas valve) it could be weak and need repllacing.
3. If it is connected to the gas valve, that could be your problem as well, but it is an expensive replacment item.
4. Is there a down draft coming from the chimney? Air blowing down the chimney that does not have a cap on it can also cause the pilot to blow out.

Why would it mess up the water heater by running it out of propane the propane ran out and now it will not stay lit the replaced the thermocouple and it didn't fix it?
Did you purge the air out of the gas line? This could cause the problem by air being introduced into the line.
Rud furnace silheuotte II model The vent fan runs but there is no flame from the burner do what would be the problem?
The pressure switch that tells the furnace the vent fan has started and is running properly, did not close. Try tapping it lightly with a finger once the fan has started, then get it replaced. Follow the rubber hose from the vent fan to locate the pressure switch.

Not really, there's not much airflow when the furnace is not running.
What is wrong if you turn the thermostat to off but the furnace is still running?
When you say the furnace is still running, I take that to mean the fan and not the actual flame portion of the furnace. If this is correct, you either have a fan relay that is sticking closed or your tstat is bad. == == == == There may be a very slight time delay the the thermostat before turning off the furnace, but if you are sure that you have turned the thermostat off and the fire continues to burn, you have a serious problem. Have it checked out. The gas valve may be sticking in the open position. Regards

Try getting the PCV pipe replaced. Mine had a problem with it conking-out at stops and on turns and that turned-out to be the problem. It could also be a vacuum leak.
Why does a heater blower have a humming noise when the motor is running?
If the heater blower has humming noise when motor is running, first check its capacitor. If the capacitor is fine, then the motor is the problem and may need to be replaced.
Should you run the furnace fan along with the central air to help circulate cool air threw out house?
With central air the furnace fan must be running to provide the air to the living space. If the furnace fan is not running then you get no air out of the ducts and the A-coil (the part of the ac system that is in your furnace duct) will freeze and shut down the compressor (the part that is outside).
