  • Rheem Criterion Furnace, Model RGDG-10EAMER

    I have a Rheem Criterion Furnace, Model RGDG-10EAMER that has been giving me problems lately.
    The burners will not always light. The igniter comes on and glows red hot, I can hear the sensor trip the value to release the gas to ignite, but there is not ignition of the burners. It will cycle and the blower will start but still the burners will not start. I have cleand the furnace checked the wiring and the IIBC board, the green light comes on to show there is power to the board. After tinkering with it for a while and vaccumming out the furnance and have turned off the gas and the value and the power swith to the furance and then turning it all back on it will light ( I think it has more to do with the time lapse of having everything tunred off and not any I really did), but it will run for the day and cycle several times throughout the day, but it eventually stop again and I go through the same process again and it will ignite again, but of course it will stop again until I go through the same steps. Any ideas of what is causing the problem?

    usually if the burners lite then go out it is because the flame rod has a coating built up on it so it needs to be cleaned. The flame rod is between the burners, it looks like a nail. So take some fine sand paper and clean it up and try that first. Paul
