Okay, I’m not a happy camper. A cool camper would be more like it, is in “shivering.”
Earlier this summer, a late-night thunderstorm knocked out the main circuit board for our central AC unit – cost us $350 to get it replaced. Now that we need it, we find the gas furnace is not working, and I can’t help but think it’s related, that maybe something dedicated to the furnace fried, too.
There is a small box attached to the gas valve with a four-wire plug going to it. Presumable this is what lets the gas pass through to the burners, or perhaps is related to the electronic igniter. Any way to tell of this thing is bad, or if it’s that main circuit board? What kind of voltage should I be getting on that plug to the gas valve if the circuit board is operating correctly? If I can find this out, I can probably figure out which is the problem.
By the way, I when I pulled off the cover to take a look at things, I didn’t notice any igniter glowing.
