You guys like my click bait title?  One of the coldest nights of the year and the pressure switch sticks open on the furnace. No heat last night at all. Woke up to a 60° house. One of the flue pipes was off.  It was the one that draws air in from outside not the one that goes out. Maybe something got in and blocked the pressure switch. I reseated the pipes and unseated and reseated the hoses to the switch and it seems to be working. Think I should replace it? If it works, it's good, right? It's not a complicated part. I probably should keep a spare on hand though. | ||

Ha, that was my first thought. Maybe a misleading thumbnail image to go along with it? Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view. Complacency sucks… | |||

Try this one trick to get it working again! | |||

Excellent click bait title. I know exactly what part you need to replace. The answer will shock you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

If it's not one WEIRD trick then I ain't trying it. | |||

Weird old trick. Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view. Complacency sucks… | |||

That's about the temp I keep the house on at night, I wouldn't have noticed any difference | |||

Furnace gets OWNED by mark123. Click to see what happens next! "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Not quite two weeks ago I had the same thing happen, I have a Service Guard account so it didn't cost anything to have a repairman come out and replace the part. I don't know what the cost would've been if I didn't have SG. ___________________________________________________________________________ "....imitate the action of the Tiger." | |||

HVAC guys don't want this information out but mark123 shows this one weird trick to let you know that it costs about $20 for the part and probably $100 for the service call. | |||

I'm jealous though that you can even start to figure out what might be wrong. If it were me, I certainly wouldn't know anything except the furnace isn't working. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Well, you take off the cover first. Then you hold the safety interlock closed so the furnace starts up. There is usually an LED that will blink if there is an error code detected and the error code list is usually on the inside of the cover. It's pretty descriptive and there is also a schematic of the system on the inside of the cover as well. | |||

Pretty funny, needed a laugh today. Thanks. On a serious note the repairman told me what most HVAC markup the cost of parts, I told him that those guys should have to wear a ski mask and point a gun at you when they make their quote.___________________________________________________________________________ "....imitate the action of the Tiger." | |||

Same here. We keep our heater setting at 58. | |||

Mark123 made one service call to HVAC guys and now he gets 9 paychecks each week! His bank statements show that you can too! -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||
