Bad thermo,replace. The thermo senses that the pilot is lit and opens gas valve,also could be bad or blocked gas valve.
When pilot light goes out, gas flows out of the pilot light nozzle. If out has continued for a long time, a gas cloud can develop around the furnace. When you go to light the pilot light, you'll ignite this gas cloud and make a big fire ball. If your basement is drafty, you might never get a huge cloud of gas hovering around your furnace. When you notice that your pilot light is out, you should shut off the gas to the furnace and allow any stray gas to dissipate before you turn the gas back on and light the pilot light. alliedallcityinc.com
Pilot light would work but the main burner would not as the thermocouple proves that there is a pilot light to fire. The main gas valve would not open
Several things come out of blast furnaces. They are listed here: 1) A molten version of whatever material was put in it to begin with, 2) Incredible heat, 3) Powerfull light, 4) A waste gas and usually some slag remnant of the fuel that powers the furnace.
If one light bulb in a series circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will go out, until the failed bulb is replaced and the series circuit is completed again.If one light bulb in a parallel circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will still work.
The most comon way to detect a crack in a heat exchanger is with a visual inspection, removal of the burner assembly and the use of a mirror and flash light. Or a smoke bomb test. A special little smoke bomb is placed in the burner area with the burners OFF. The blower is runnig and you light the smoke bomb, the smoke will draft up the flue vent or if a crack or rust hole is present then the smoke will get sucked into the air stream and come out of the duct work. Other than that using a carbon monoxide detector to see what the CO levels of the furnace are and comparing them to the supply air of the furnace to verify that there is no CO present in the air stream. The best and most accurate way is to contact a local Heating and Air Conditioning specialist or your local gas company should come out and perform a CO test on the furnace. Good Luck and God BLess
At pilot light, where pilot light flame goes directly onto thermo coupler.
How do I light pilot light on furnace
Bad thermo couple Spillage (Down draft) Not enough free air for proper combustion Pilot light needs ajdustment
YIPPER!!!!!!!
it heats up the thermo couple which opens up the gas control valve allowing gas to flow to the main burner. if the pilot goes out the thrmo couple will cool and shut the gas valve so gas does not come out
It needs a new thermo couple
A thermocouple is a device used to sense the flame of a pilot light. IF the pilot light is not burning, the thermocouple does not permit the main flow of gas to the gas logs. Thermocouples DO wear out, are relatively cheap, and are made to be replaced.
It just happened to me a couple days ago..I found that my alternator belt broke and had to be replaced.
i have a model 125u19 payne furnace i move the thermostat but nothing comes on in the furnace and the pilot light is lit
by turning the control switches to the on position and attempting to light the furnace.
If this is happening you need to get your furnace serviced by a qualified engineer.
Electric furnaces don`t light
