One More: Never put the furnace in the attic or in the crawl space under the house.
Hi there,
I have a Carrier model furnace in the attic circa 2001. About a week ago, it stopped working. (Fortunately in California, the nights only dip down to the mid-low 60s, so it's more of an annoyance than a necessity.)
Here is the info I gathered:
1) The water heater and oven still work fine.
2) The thermostat still appears to be working. The fan controls work (on/off) and the AC works.
3) When I set it to heater, the thermostat indicates its own. But you don't hear the typical noise from the ducts and no hot air blows out.
I haven't gone up in the attic yet, as we have somethings in the closet that will require moving in order to get a ladder to the access panel. So I want to gather all info and see what else I need to do first.
I've read that it could be:
1) The ignitor needs to be replaced, nice and simple
2) Faulty wiring on the board
3) Dirty filter needs to be cleaned
4) A limit switch was tripped and got stuck, so the system needs a hard boot (flip the breaker)
Any other ideas before I venture up there?
Thanks!
Mike
