3聽Reasons聽Why Your Furnace Isn’t Staying Lit and How to聽Solve聽It
A聽damaged聽furnace is聽a hassle聽to聽put up with. There are聽lots of聽reasons this聽might聽happen, but one of the most聽frequent聽is聽something wrong聽with the burners or聽associated聽systems.
Newer聽models聽don’t聽count on聽pilot lights to keep the furnace聽going. Instead, they聽work via聽electronic ignition. If this ignition聽stops working correctly, the burners聽can't聽are supposed to聽like they聽are supposed to.
When your gas furnace is聽are supposed to聽correctly, here’s how it should聽run:
- The thermostat聽directs聽your furnace to聽activate.
- Your furnace’s draft inducer fan聽turns on聽to聽pull聽fresh air聽into聽your furnace.
- The gas valve opens to聽send聽gas into the pilot burner.
- An electronic spark聽starts聽the pilot light.
- The flame sensor聽tells聽your furnace that the pilot聽is burning.
- The gas valve聽moves聽gas to the聽main聽burners, which are lit by the pilot light.
- Your furnace then聽pushes聽warm air聽provides聽your聽house聽via ductwork.
If something聽malfunctions聽during this聽procedure, your furnace will聽stop聽for safety聽reasons. Or it might聽deactivate聽a few minutes into heating because it’s聽overheating.
