  • No Flame In The Furnace

    Hi:

    I have a Unitary Products Induced Draft Gas Furnace (Model EU0116G095A). It does not have a pilot light but uses hot surface igniter. It was "tuned-up" by the gas company about two months ago. After the tune-up, I replaced the old smaller filter to the proper size filter recommended by the service technician. Last week when I turned on the heat, hot air came on for about 30 minutes and before the set temperature was reached, the flame went off. The fan continued to run since it was set to ON and only cold air emerged from the registers. When the thermostat was set above the room temperature and the fan set to AUTO , you could hear a click and the induced draft blower was activated. However, the hot surface igniter did not glow and the burners did not light. Also, the circulating blower never came on. There was no gas smell. The draft blower remained on until the heat was turned off. What is causing the problem? Please help! Thanks a lot!

    sounds like a bad hot surface ignitor. was the service warrantied? get them to replace it. otherwise, just do it yourself - very easy and should only cost about $30. get a spare - they burn out frequently (I have replaced mine twice in 9 years). good luck

      No, I do not have a service plan. Perhaps, I should get one since the furnace is about 10 years old. Anyway, I'll try to replace the igniter. Thanks for the tip.[8D]

        I replaced the hot surface igniter but it still will not glow. I am wondering why originally (when I first turned on heat)heat came on for about 30 minutes but before reaching the set temperature it went off. Since then heat never came back on. Can someone please shed some light on this. I really appreciate it.

          Anyone have any info on this or what can be done to troubleshoot?
          I am having the same problem and it happened the same way. Heat was working but stopped and hot surface ignitor is not coming on. Unit starts up and after about 30 secs the gas comes out for a couple seconds and turns off. The hot surface ignito never gets hot or glows.
