Could be a bad computer board or flame sensor. If you have to keep resetting it-the computer board is more likely the problem.
warning: flame roll out can cause serious injury 1) turn service switch off at the furnace 2) adjust thermostat so set point is 5-6 degrees above room temp, set t-stat for heat, and set fan to auto 3) remove ignition compartment door of the furnace as opposed to the door enclosing the indoor blower motor 4) turn the furnace service switch back on 5) do not look directly at the combustion burners as flame will shoot out of the burner compartment 6) observe the ignition finally proper ignition is confined to the area intended for combustion, with a blue flame. a roll out will cause the flame to ignite beyond the burners and may even blow beyond the blower compartment. further, a roll out can persist beyond the initial ignition sequence.
# Why doe the gas furnace blow black smoke?
There is a delay on the fan to allow the furnace to get hot so as not to blow cold air into the home at start up. There is also an `OFF` delay, where the fan runs for a minute or so after the flame shuts off. This is to cool down the furnace.
Not sure but just reset your breakers
If it`s a heat pump, they do that, heat is not instantaneous with them. If it`s a furnace the fan/limit switch or fan delay timer whichever you have, needs to be adjusted.
That is the function of the fan/limit control on your furnace. When the thermostat nears the point where the room temp setpoint is satified it shuts off the flame. The fan/limit control keeps the fan on for a minute or so to cool the furnace down before shutting off. Conversly, if your watch your furnace at start up you will see the flame lights first but the fan does not come on for a minute or so to allow the furnace to get hot and avoid blowing cold air into the home.
A gentle blow, which increases the flow of oxygen around the flame will make it bigger. A strong blow which will reduce the air pressure and so reduce the amount of oxygen will make the flame smaller.
Because you set it that way
no
Burning coal requires oxygen to chemically react (C+O2=CO2). The availability of oxygen is limited in the furnace by several factors such as the friction of the air against the coal. Blowing provides more oxygen to the flame and raises the temperature of the flame. The hotter flame pops the corn more rapidly. Blacksmiths use the same principle to raise the temperature of their forges.
next to the blow off switch
because you got to light it....commen mistake
