Furnaces have a device called a flame sensor. You'll find it sticking in the fire box from the bottom. It's a thin metal rod about four inches long. Its connected with a screw to the bottom of the fire box and has a red wire attached to it.The flame sensor serves a similar purpose to a thermocouple. When your furnace is about to cycle, a pilot flame first heats the flame sensor. After a certain amount of time, usually about 30 seconds, the furnace computer will call for gas to ignite in full burn mode. If the flame sensor does not detect flame, it shuts the furnace off. You will know if your flame sensor is bad when the furnace keeps trying to start, but shuts off before the flame box ignites. Flame sensors get dirty over time, and lose their ability to work because of buildup. All you need to do is to clean it with a piece of sand paper. A dollar bill will work to, as it has just enough abrasiveness. Eventually, you will need to replace the flame sensor.Chances are, if your furnace won't start, it's the flame sensor. It's really as simple as changing a spark plug on a car. A flame sensor costs $24 retail. It's about half that cost if you know someone in the trades who has an account with a wholesaler. I guarantee if I called an HVAC tech, they would have spent 30 minutes checking this, cleaning that. Bill would have been at least $200.Your gas powered water heater works the same way. If it stops firing, it's 98% likely to be the flame sensor too.Tomorrow's lesson, electric dryers.I've learned this stuff from a neighbor who has an appliance installation business for 20 years. He's saved me a ton of money with his tips.

Natives must be restless.
And Michigan was on the NCAA penalty pill when JB took over from the Dookie....
Well according to some, we instituted our own poison pill for some strange reason.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
It was the only way to get the taste of armpit sweat out of our mouths.
Really, I just got done eating.
Not to mention JB & Wright had both been winners as head coaches before taking over their current roles ... that's such a self-serving, bush league post. The pressure must be real, no?
NMAre ya with me, people?

Well according to some, we instituted our own poison pill made everyone eat red delicious apples for some strange reason.
I'm going to take things in a different direction.MN
Having quite a snow storm today I hear.
Am I with you??Does this answer your question?
Well, 45 days later, the dryer stops again. This time, I replace the fuse, and take a leaf blower to the dryer vent and blow out the vent from the outside. Holy sh1t, the last 6 feet of vent pipe must have been plugged. Problem solved
I'll continue embracing my role as "NM thread village idiot for all things mechanical" by asking.....if you blow the vent from the outside what do you do to prevent the 6 feet of lint from getting everywhere? I'm picturing a scene like when the drywall guys sealed off a room with plastic, swore it would keep the dust in, and we were noticing it for a month.
Very white here in Rochester.
