  • Is your furnace not blowing hot air? That may be a quick and easy fix. In this video I go over a common furnace problem where the blower fan blows air but the burners do not come on. Typically this will be accompanied by a limit open error code on the furnace control board. I also show how to test the hi limit switch and how to reset it if it is stuck open.

    I would of probably just waited out until tomorrow if I didn't have my girls 7&3 years old home with their mom..
    Started watching UA-cam videos after watching maybe 3-4 came across yours . tried everything step by step in this video for 2 times.. 3rd time the MAGIC HAPPENED...

    It was the first day of cool temps and my house was 63°F. I turned on the heater and sure enough it was blowing, but only cold air. I watched your video. I opened my furnace panel, I looked at the flashing lights, I correlated it to the diagnostic on the sticker of the inside of the furnace. I replaced the filter, I didn’t have to bang on the thingy, but I pulled the plugs out, and when I put them back in my heater started working! I am so proud of myself, and I only tried it because of how clear and easy your video was. Thank you! Single female, 10pm and I’m so happy.

    Hey Jay...You are my Furnace Fixer HERO!!!! After watching your video it took me exactly 2 minutes to fix my High Limit Switch that must have been out over 6 months. Of course, I heard the fan blowing and all the switches and button worked so I felt I was good to go...and of course I purchased room fans. Your step by step educational video save me of $225...from a so call professional quote...and now my home is HEATED, in no time. That Tapping trick on the High Limit Switch was amazing...and your other video, on cleaning your burners with a wired brush was fantastic...my burners look like new. By the way, I have never touched my Furnace...didn't even know a blinking Sight light was even suppose to be on. You make me proud to be a Female fixer upper in my home...Thankssssssssssssssssssss a whole lot!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!

So we have been cold all day and I decided to search on youtube and came across this video around an hour ago.

    @reneerobinson5663 5 років тому +5

    thank you so much for your videos. I sure wish I had found them last year. i'm a 60 yr old grandma who honestly doesn't know anything about mechanical things. i'm actually afraid to touch anything that uses electricity, gas, propane, etc. i'm afraid it will blow up. last year I practically rebuilt the front of my nordyne 90% propane furnace in the middle of winter. my electric bill doubled while I replaced almost everything trying to get the furnace to work. I kept getting different combinations of red blinks after I would replace a piece. I finally got it working and it was ok until a couple of weeks ago when I noticed that it was pouring cool air out of my floor vents again. this time the furnace would fire up and then the flames would go out after several minutes. sometimes the flames would stop burning where they were supposed to burn and an orange flame would light up inside one or two of the burner tubes. no actual "blow back", but the furnace would shut off after a few minutes and just cool air would come out of my vents. it would try to recycle but the same thing would happen. I found your videos and noted a lot less that I could replace this time around. I had a yellow blinking light which on my furnace means a low flame fault. I bought a new flame sensor because I was able to rub some gunk off of it but about 2/3's of it was blackened and would not clean off. I put the new flame sensor in, turned on my furnace and it seemed to stay on a little longer than the first time but still faulted out to the blinking yellow light and the cool air. I checked your videos again and started taking the burner box apart to try to clean the burners. got to a point where my available tools wouldn't allow me to continue--can't reach 2 of the screws on the right side of it. i'm trying to loosen things to a point where I can reach in and clean the burners on the right side without removing them. I cleaned the orifices in that bar from the gas bar in front of the burners. the burner by the flame sensor was blackened and I can't seem to get that clean either. I'm going to try to clean the condensate tubes too. I think this is all I have left to try unless you have any other ideas. it's been pretty cold here in the upper peninsula of Michigan as i'm sure you know--below zero wind chills at night and we've gotten so much snow that my garage just collapsed early this morning. so as you might have guessed....there's no new furnace for me any time soon. thanks again for your videos. you do a great job of teaching at the right level and showing us everything that we need to see--so many others just tell us what they've done but don't show the video. The only other comment I have is.....you don't happen to have a single father who knows as much as you do about all of this, do you?

    Thanks so much. Eight degrees and no heat. We had been cutting a lot of tile in the garage, probably clogged the filter. A few raps on the switch got her up and running. You are awesome, we are grateful.

    Thank you. Followed the instructions, and worked. Furnace back on. I tapped the furnace housing and the switch didn't reset. I removed it and tapped it and it reset. I would have diagnosed it and bought a new switch. Saved not only money, but the time to get the switch. Don't know why someone would give it a thumbs down. Two thumbs up!

    I have (2) Bryant Plus 90i Furnaces. My problem was with one, it was blowing out cool air for a while, then cuts off and stays off for a long period of time then turns back on blowing cool air again. I called the HVAC guy and he charged me $435.00 just only to replace a pressure switch. Months later, a similar problem began with my other furnace. So I went on Ebay and purchased a Pressure switch costing $125.00 and installed it myself. Now I must say its working great! Thank You.

      @@willarddickerson921 Nice work. I have learned so much about furnaces with the help of this guy and others on UA-cam. I have always been mechanically inclined but watching experienced folks helps out so much. I have replaced almost every part of my furnace the last 2 years.. in fact I have a spare ignitor now so if it breaks I can fix it right away. Next fall I may try replacing the entire thing as I know the heat exchanger is probably going to go bad sometime. It's 15 years old and that seems to be the life of appliances nowadays unfortunately.

    It worked just as you suggested. I can't believe I did it all by myself. I'm not a handy girl, but I was having problem with my furnace blowing cold air. I saw your video, followed your instructions and repaired it myself. It took me less than 2 minutes. I have a friend who is on his way over to fix it for me, he won't believe I did it either. Thank you so much. I was tired of being cold and waiting for someone to come by to look at it. Thank you thank you!!!!!
