- Streamlined version of a previous video!
I thought I was going to have to call an HVAC tech to fix this, which is why it went unfixed for so many years. If only I had known it was this easy...
This video involves part number part #62-22868-93, which can be found here on Amazon:

thank you. I just ordered the part
Every man needs a wife that helps out with repairs around the house. Great video!!!
...and every woman needs a husband who helps out with the cleaning 😅
@@ChickFixUSA You're absolutely right.
@@ChickFixUSA HAHAHAHA!
Best video ever. Wish I could find a woman like her.
You helped my wife & I fix our furnace...thank you!!!
I like how you're like "This thing hasn't worked in 10 years...." and then it takes you less than 10 minutes to fix it. :D
Yeah, that actually hurt a little bit 😄
I have this exact furnace.
Thanks so much for the quick tutorial to refresh my memory about changing out this igniter. All replaced and I have glorious heat again! :)
Dynomite! Fixed mine $25!
Thanks for the humorous and helpful video...I've surfed a bunch of videos about different components, and I checked them all with an ohm meter, looking for open circuits. It was getting late and I was ready to quit for the night, but your video gave me the boost to check one more part
Oh yeah, it was the igniter
You Saved me and my family nso much heartache and pain. Thank you. Was a pain to find the ignitor.
We have the exact same heater and it stopped heating. I was able to order the the igniter listed on Amazon. Within a few minutes we had heat again. It was nice to not have pay for an expensive repair.
I'm so glad you were able to fix it yourself! Thank you for posting a comment.
We have electric everything in our home. But hey, very impressive work you did fixing your furnace! 👍Have a great day. Hugs from the southeast coast of Florida🌴😎💙😎🌴
Thanks for the video this helped me fix my furnace. Lucky also had the ignitor fail.
Great video. Thinking mine went out and I’m going to try this tomorrow
Thankyou! you fixed my problem. It was the flame detection sensor. Just scotch brited the sensor, unplugged and reconnected the unit, heater works great now!
Well, I didn't fix it, you did. But I'm glad to have helped!
Video is very helpful. Replaced flame sensor. Furnace is working now but sometimes it stops with rapid red code. When I restarted it works again for a while but will stop working with rapid red again.
Having exactly the same problem. Getting online to order part now!
Thank you ChickFix USA for this video! Furnace just went out today. After fiddling with it for the usual, came straight to UA-cam and in 2 videos, (yours the 2nd) found out it was the igniter. Almost replaced thanks to you!
Glad it was helpful to you!
Come to find out my sensor was too dusty. All I had to do was blow things away and all good to go :)
That's awesome!
This is so inspiring. Hope it works for me. Promise to be safe 😊
This wasn't quite the same problem I was having, but seeing how it works helped me get to the solution much quicker. I watched several other videos from "professionals" that told me nothing. After seeing this I had the heat back on in about 10 minutes. Thank you.
I'm so glad it helped!
So if my ignitor was lit does that mean it's just the flame sensor instead. Which I had that problem before in a different house and just had to clean
The fire stick was the issue we had to deal with. just a heads up, apparently a little annual maintenence will go a long way. Take a little time to remove that bad boy and dust it off with a piece of sandpaper.
Yes...And when ordering new ones, search for "flame sensor".
Great video!
Hey have you ever had to clean the flame sensor? I have the same furnace and it's almost impossible to get to.
I have not, fortunately.
nice job repairing the machine yourself
Thanks!
Just a couple of quick tips from a technician. First, never touch the ignitor element. The oils from your skin will cause premature failure. Second, contrary to another comment, never clean the flame detection rod (fire stick) with sandpaper. The most aggressive thing you should use is a clean kitchen scrounge. Most techs just scrub them with a dollar bill.
Thank you for those tips!
@@ChickFixUSA Thanks for an excellent channel.👍
Nice video. I have an issue with the same furnace, ours has a Direct Spark Ignition which ignites every time. Problem is the last burner was intermittent and found it was rusty so I cleaned it to no avail. I replaced the entire 3-burner assembly but still the last burner intermittently lights and sometimes needs 2 or more cycles... Any suggestions?
Thanks you so much 🤟🏾
You're welcome! Hope it helps
LOL, love the victory cry! Well done!
I have the same problem and the same unit it appears. A link where and how you found the part would be great in the comments.
You're absolutely right! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007TV56BG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Awesome, mine kept going on and off. I just ordered a new one today. I'm hoping it fixes it. It looks like the original one. Thank you
Me too ... That's why I'm here lol
Did it work???
@@Aleisha313 I am gonna install it tomorrow. I just got it in today
Hey Thanks for the reply! if you would let me know... I'm waiting on calling a repair man. I'd rather fix it myself if possible
Got mine working... Cleaned the flame igniter with some sandpaper... But still going to order a new one just in case! Good luck with yours😊
@@Aleisha313 I'm about to change it today
Watched your video…Ordered the part you linked in the comments…5 minutes to install. Heat works again. You Rock! Thank you for making such a quick and informative vid!
Don’t mind player haters like Poopoo Le Mule! You can’t get much more to the point than a 5:34 video that is successfully fixing everyone’s issue? No one wants to see a vid of someone talking like a technician droning on and on and putting us to sleep. Keep up the great work.
I'm really happy this video helped you! And thank you for the kind words. I suppose I'm not everyone's cup of tea, which is perfectly fine. Not sure why they feel the need to comment that I'm not their cup of tea, though. It's a free video to them, and commenting (either good or bad) only helps the channel grow. So, joke's on them!
@@ChickFixUSA I can guarantee its MEN who will be critical of you - cant imagine why?!!! VERY helpful video here by the way, and I just subscribed and will now be checking out the rest of your videos here! I think the one on painting kitchen cabinets might be MY next project! Thank you!
Great iob
When I turn on the heat, I hear it click, then nothing happens
I need to find out the age of my ruud with the serial number please.
I would call Ruud customer service directly for that information
@@ChickFixUSA I finally got it. My husband passed. This company had charged us $14,000 for an HVAC system. They installed the ac, but to make a long story short, they did not install the furnace. It is 19 years old. It should be less than 2 years old. I was out of town and my hubby was in a wheelchair and couldn't see it. So he trusted them.
The igniter looks just the one on my oven that had to be replaced on my oven...lol
indeed it is
It is. It’s made of a ceramic composite which over time will degrade and fail to produce adequate heat to signal the opening of the gas valve. Same issue in oven.
blonde chick fixing stuff NOW thats HOT!
Most abnoxious video. Just get to the point.
Thanks for watching!
And YOU sir win the award for most obnoxious viewer!!! She did a great job and has helped everybody on here, with the possible exception of yourself, and that may be a "comprehension" issue on your part I'm guessin! 🤨
