My Powermate 3400W generator won't turn on my NEW gas furnace! It did run the old oil furnace. When utility power to house came back on, the furnace started. The generator sockets have 3rd ground hole The ground is already connected to neutral side. The power out at end of 3 prong extension cord was 60cycle AC 117volts. The cord was checked for ground at both ends. What's wrong? The male plug on furnace side has poor ground. The socket on furnace has loose connection for plug. Is the new gas furnace in lockout mode? Service sheet says no power. No red light on board. Door switch has power. Does the new Airtemp gas furnace have a timed off period before allowing main circuit board to turn on? No response from contractor. He has the plague.
With all due respect, it wasn't that challenging, it was only a loose connection in the panel and low batteries in the thermostat. If they would have checked for voltage at the switch/disconnect and not found voltage, chances were pretty good that the problem was at the panel, (assuming that rodents hadn't gotten into the circuit, but if that was the case, the breaker probably would have been tripped.) That would have made this a much shorter video.
I’ve been working on the same problem for the last hour and a half and I’ve never heard two men complain so much in my life especially the one that’s so damn jumpy you’re not a help at all you need to get a grip what you did so far and oh damn the batteries are right give me a break
Amazing....one day you find electrician has installed a mini split, and now we have you guys going behind an electrician.....nice😀

Good luck to whoever has to change the coil or blower. Good video.
I got a great laugh when you jumped. It's happened to all of us. :))))
Excellent video --the fix was certainly challenging.

Wow!! That furnace is practically shoved into that closet. Why do they make it impossible for you guys to serve the equipment?
My switch toggle sparked so I replaced it and nothing. This is frustrating
You think an LED receptacle tester might do the trick? I might have swapped the wires
Great video.
Your gonna need a sawzall to get that blower out!

Maybe you should call for heating service That would fix your problem Thanks for watching
