Could the thermostat be too close to a supply vent??? The brainiac before me put the thermostat about 5' away from a vent in my house......the thermostat saw it was warm and shut the furnace off.....the rest of the house was frozen.... :mad: I moved it and no problems now.

no , dont have that problem. im hoping its just a clogged up "A" coil. if it doesnt warm up after i clean all the fuzz out ill call the "proper guy".

Check the fan switch[ It may not be heating up enough to get rid of heat in the chamber, When chamber cools down, furnace will fire up again. Also check for blocked flu & or flu pipe clogged. Most furn. have a limit switch & again when it cools down ,. the furn. fires for a few minutes. If you need any more info. call Dave at 203-380-2331

well i took the furnace apart enough to get to the "A" coil. one side on the inside of the A shape was completely covered with fuzz/dust. scraped it off the best i could. very hard to reach.
also changed the filter.
we'll see ..............

winter sucks!

Shop vac it out.

It's amazing what a $2 filter will fix!:D :D :D




Did that do it?

Steve_H 01-30-2004 03:46 PM

did the shop vac thing also.

dont think it fixed it :confused:

something else i noticed.
sat next to one of the registers and noticed after the burner shuts off the fan keeps running until cold air is coming out , then shuts off again. few seconds later it repeats the same cycle.
make any sense?
dammit:mad:

Take it off the wall so you can get to the wires behind it. you will need a small flat head .
