Hi!
I'm having a problem with my central heating system.
It is a Payne system.
Product: 396JAW060095ABFA
Model: 396JAW060095
Series: B

The problem I'm having is that when the thermostat is turned on, the pilot ignites pefectly and stays on but the main burners do not ignite. Initially out of frustration i banged on the outside with my hand and you could hear a clicking so I opened the upper compartment with the blower and the circuit board cleaned and fixed a few conectors so now i have no clicking sounds on beating the machine....

I took out the burners cleaned and vacumed them. I used a pin to clear out the opening for the main burners. I've checked the connections.... After that I put it all back together and closed it up and tried again. It started... I was satisfied....so i tried to turn it off and restart it.... now its cold and it wont start!!! Help Please....

Should i remove the 3 wire pilot and clean it out with WD 40? I didn't clean the part with the little metal strip next to the pilot flame....
The pilot still ignites but some how i think maybe the connection from that metal strip to the 3 wires isnt connecting....or maybe something completely different...

Another thing i noticed was that the little safety switches on the top of the machine the button was stuck down... i cant push it... it just stays down...
the other switch that connects with the transistor on the lower compartment is just the opposite it just hangs down so if you were to push it, it just limply falls back...
I'm not sure if that is the issue..
Please help

Oh and I almost forgot to say that when you adjust the termostat to fan on it works but not the main burners.....
I did disassemble the pilot took out the little cone shaped thing from the bottom cleaned the hole in it.

The fan doesn't turn on unless the main burners light which happened that one time and it also works if i remove the wires from the transistor board or even if i just turn on the fan from the thermostat.

I was waiting for the 24 VAC at the gas1 terminal but it never worked..


Here is my furnace photos... some how i couldn't make them come on this site.....another problem another day....
open flickr then type in teddyrockspin1 atyahoo ... this is kinda frusterating sorry though
Thanks everyone!!

Could be a bad thermopile, it tells the gas valve all is ok to ignite your main burner.

You need to replace the 3 wire pilot assembly.

Your 3 wire pilot, we call that a warp switch. It makes two wires when cold so it can lite pilot. after it lites it has to warp over to make the other contact
to prove to the board that we have pilot. There is a pilot adjustment on your gas valve, turn the pilot pressure up as high as it will go, and make sure you have a good blue clean flame. Does it work with the burner door off? After
doing this and it still don't work, replace pilot assembly. later paul

Hey thanks everyone...even you paul for callin me an ass....

What seemed to solve the problem was i opened the box adjacent to the warp switch the site where the three wires enter into the switch and opened the metal clips and cleaned it out with MAF cleaner. It removed some of the grime and luckly it started. Ive tried it 4 times and it works...

Thanks Again everyone!!!
