I have been having flame failure problems the last few years. Flame rod replace/clean didn't work. I ended up taking the burners out and cleaning them. Back to normal! 23 years old and still going!
You are the man!! My A/C quit, and you told how to check a capacitor. That was it and I got one from Amazon for $15!! You saved me 500 bucks!! Thanks!! Now I know what to look for if my furnace quits. I almost hope it does so I can see if I can figure it out!!!
Thank you for going over this subject again. Your videos from last year helped me a lot and I’m sure many others will appreciate this video. Thank You Again 😊
Thanks so much for this highly informative video. This could prove a game-changer on a cold winter day when a service person can’t get there soon. God bless you for sharing this!
Thank you for the video. By the way on that capacitor measurement 5% of 20 microfarad (unit ) is not 1 % but 1 microfarad. just trying to make sure other people know what u ment. Thanks for the help regardless.
Love the videos great content!! Have you ever considered doing a video on balancing your HVAC system for summer cooling and winter heating throughout the rooms in a home via dampeners and floor registers? I’m unable to find an informative or intuitive video describing the process. That way your subscribers and future subscribers could balanced temperatures and optimize functionality of our HVAC system. Also your recommendation on tools. If you need a home to do such a video, let me know!?!?
My gas furnace quit working a few yrs ago. It was new in 2008. I called a company from the yellow pages. They came out and replaced the thermostat. It worked for a day then quit working again. I called them again and they came out and replaced the circuit board. It’s been working since.

I have seen these hvac guys get mad at guys like this on youtube because they cant screw every homeowner that doesn't know how to do something anymore due to the internet and resources readily available. Keep on keeping on with the good content and make that money from youtube!
I watched many videos, after watching this I went outside to find a plastic bag stuck in my exhaust pipe! Turned the furnace on and it started right up.😊
Great video. Thanks for info!!! I am a little stumped. My system keeps shorting and blowing a fuse after inducer motor coems on and before the igniter can even glow. Changed the ignitor just in case and also the pressure switch. Still trips at that exact point every time. What else is happening at this point in the sequence of events that could be tripping? Thanks in advance!
Senior citizen going 3rd year without working furnace. Will get someone to help me with these checks. Thank you! My cats and I are in a small bedroom with a heater. I bought them fleece vests and a snow suit for me. We count off the days to warmer weather. I have significant health issues so does one of my cats. So we must have money for health needs. It is very difficult to live like this. I am not the only senior living like this. My son passed in 2002 and I live far from any family still left. I have been afraid that someone will find out that I have no working furnace. I still am paying on mortgage. Long story…..how this has all happened to me. My washer, refrigerator and oven need replaced too. I don’t want strangers making me abandon my home. I thank God for finding this video. I have a full tank of heating oil. My furnace went out and never could use it. So if can get furnace working……good to go!
Love your videos! I also have a question - When my gas furnace first gets the call to run, I hear the inducer spin up and then within a few seconds, I hear a loud metallic sounding "smack". Sometimes it is just one, other times two in close succession. After that everything seems to continue into the ignition (hot surface igniter) and flame. Blower seems fine. What do you think that could be? Thanks
Yes, the fuse is easy to check (with small fingers or a needle nose pliar). Yes, it is easy to replace. But, if it blows again, during testing, then there is something more serious to check. rats chewed on the wires? failed motor by short circuit due to old age, or wet, or too hot? You might need to get an HVAC guy. I am a retired electrical engineer.
Hello, the furnaces should not drip water, today there are 90 plus furnace systems that have a system that drains water. If this is yours, then you must connect it through where the condensation from the AC drains.
Had my furnace and thermostat inoperative. Turned out to be a failed condensate pump. When it fails it breaks the 24 volts going to the thermostat. Robisson Repair guy hosed me for $450. Exact same part in Amazon cost $45. Go figure!
Man people like you are what RUclips should be about. Can’t thank you enough for the education.
Pulled out flame sensor, gave it a clean!! Popped it back in, and 'hey presto!!' Back in business!! Thx man!
This is the best video on DIY furnace diagnostics!! Thanks a million!!!!
This man obviously knows his stuff and is a born teacher.
RUclips needs a "love" button....i love your content! Thank you so much for posting videos like this!

You always do such a great job teaching. Keep up the great videos.
Great video. Thanks so much.
Well done!👍
Thank you so much. I had to replace my blower last year and I wish I had this before.
Dope, thanks I will definitely check your training vid. I want to pivot from IT and with my IT and auto experience I know I can totally do this.
Insightful video a guy with zero knowledge about furnaces can learn a lot.
excellent video as always God bless.............
Thank you for all your great informative videos

Hi on them 96% furnaces for the vents you can put insect screen on the pipes to keep wasp out.
Thank you so much and again for teaching us

I am a little stumped.

Changed the ignitor just in case and also the pressure switch. Still trips at that exact point every time.
What else is happening at this point in the sequence of events that could be tripping?
Thanks in advance!
Excellent job 👏
Thank you so very much.
Earlier this fall my furnace did not come on. Cause: I had turned the gas line off when the weather warmed up in the spring.
This should be #6 waiting for answers
Very good.

thanks bro
Good video
You’re the best!
Love all your content. Just watched your emergency sand heater can’t beat that.
The surface igniter on our furnace is like the one in your video. It's NOT round. Will the round one that's in the link, work on our furnace?
Thank you!!
nice job
HVACTalk does not like this:-) big thank you man. Asset to the society.

Thumbs up!
I didn’t find the link to the universal hot sensor igniter.
Sorry about that. I put it in the video description so you should be able to find that there now 👍🏼
If you find it, please let me know where it is. I can't find it either. 🤔

My nest thermostat sometimes it doesn't communicate with the furnace
Hello, is the furnace drips water when it’s on like the AC? Thank you.

We have replaced the inducer motor it ran for 30mins. And then the inducer motor never started. What could be the issue? Plz help me out
Exhaust on my furnace smell like reach mix. Does anybody know what causes it. Furnace starts and works OK
most of the time i have no power to my W wire but sometimes it’ll randomly run fine… Can anyone help with this? It’s electric by the way not heat pump
Why am i watching this at 1 am if i live in Miami and is 80 degrees here. Good question ah
My furnace just flashes 888 and IDL

I have a control board without lights from 1991
LOCK OUT POWER SOURCE!
