Furnace not igniting (Comfortmaker RPJ II - electronic igniter)

[s***@gmail.com]

I have a Comfortmaker RPJ II gas furnace with an electronic igniter (no
standing pilot light). The furnace and the fan come on when signaled by
the thermostat but the furnace does not light. No flames come out of
the burners. I've tested this with two different thermostats thinking
our old thermostat was not turning on the furnace. But you can hear it
come on. Any ideas what else would keep the burners from lighting/ not
igniting? or what the problem may be? There is no smell of gas. Any
help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You need a new thermostat. You just got a bad one.

Hi,
If it's electronic ignitor(Piezo electric) You can hear it when it's
activated. Zap, zap, click, click kinda sound. If you don't hear it
then ignitor module could e bad. There are many things which can
malfunction. What is trouble code?

Piezo electric ignition in a gas furnace???? Did you know you have to push
the button every time it calls for heat? I found some replacements for you.

The model # of the furnace is GNJ050N12D1.
I don't hear the zap, click sound which used to come before the sound
of flames.
A previous post mentioned a trouble code? Where can I check that?
I don't think it's the thermostat. I replaced my old one thinking that
was the problem. But with the new thermostat the exact same thing
happens: the furnace and fan come on, but the furnace doesn't ignite.

Did you polarize the thermostat when you installed it? Comfortmaker needs
the thermostat polarized and sync'ed with the controller board before it
will work correctly.

Hi,
He is trolling. Trouble code is blinking LED thru small glass window.
Count the blinks to come up with a code. Like ... . will be 31.
Either you have a manual or a sheet with list of code is on the cover
panel usually.

I didn't see any LED signals. There isn't a list of codes anywhere on
the furnace either.
After more trouble shooting I'm thinking it's the igniter. Usually the
first thing you hear is the click-zap sound of the electric igniter.
That no longer happens. Can a non-professional like me replace this
part or try to service it?

Hi,
If you can see if the module is getting power when it needs to activate.
If it gets proper power and nothing happens(no sparksO, then module is a
suspect.
Problem is the module like that is often non-returnable once you buy it.
So unless absolutely sure, it's a gamble. But it's known to fail.

Hi,
It could be main control logic board as well.(the part which controls
the ignitor-probably a relay(mechanical or solid state)

It could also be one of the many safeties that is keeping the furnace from
firing.
Sure you don't want to call a tech and get it properly checked and
serviced??

[Stormin Mormon]

As Steve reminds you, there are many reasons why a furnace would fail
to fire. If you just go replacing parts, it could easily cost more
than having the repair guy out.

You tried thermostat, and that didn't help. The next part(s) you
replace may be both expensive and unnecessary. At this point in time,
best to call the repairman. Before the weather gets colder, and the
rate schedule goes from "fall" to "winter".

It could be caused by Jupiter not being properly aligned with mars. I
think that the real problem though is that the thermostat has somehow
detected daylight savings time early and has gotten its time stamp
sequence out of whack.

Tony might be guessing since he seems to be mentioning every part on
your furnace.
Do what Oscar says and try polarizing your thermostat. Get a small
jumper wire and with power applied to your furnace, briefly jumper the
R & C terminals together at the furnace 7 times.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, you have to jump C to R or the daylight savings
time time stamp sequence feature will go all haywire.

Here's a video to help with troubleshooting & cleaning the flame sensor. It's a quick way to rule out a $15 part from causing your issue. Link to new flame sensors for the Comfortmaker RPJ II furnace in the description on YouTube.

Polarizing requires a Modulating Current meter. Many VOM have them
now, they call em VOMM, for Volt Ohm Modulating Meter. Sure sounds
like your low voltage moduator might be out of synch with the circuit
board. I remember the days when you had to manually synch the
modulator every time you serviced a unit. That could take as long as
an hour, if you had to go through the six or seven cycles of bootup
which were required to fine tune the synch.

I think Oscar has a more up to date manual than mine, but some new
furnace autosynch. Just turn the power switch off for half an hour,
and make sure the case of the furnace is properly grounded to drain
off the high impedance farrady charge. Of course, Os will provide the
specific details, being a helpful fellow as he is.

I use propane and every year I have to bleed my gas line to the furnace
until I smell gas, close it off then try to restart and bingo!!!!!!!!! heat.
the electronic ignition will not try forever to light the furnace and the
pilot draws such a little bit of gas that its quicker to bleed the line then
keep retrying. Is your ignitor working????????

I have a Comfortmaker RPJ II gas furnace with an electronic igniter (no
standing pilot light). The furnace and the fan come on when signaled by
the thermostat but the furnace does not light. No flames come out of
the burners. I've tested this with two different thermostats thinking
our old thermostat was not turning on the furnace. But you can hear it
come on. Any ideas what else would keep the burners from lighting/ not
igniting? or what the problem may be? There is no smell of gas. Any
help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Gas filter clogged.

Gas injector needs resetting.

Gas controller needs calibration.

etc.

I have hundreds of ideas why it's not working. Kindly pay me 100.00
for each one and we can play "fix the furnace".

It sounds like your Gas Valve is not coming on .It the igniter is glowing and you see the fan and furnace running, with no flames, your NOT getting any GAS.
Check your Gas Valve

Too late...The complainant froze to death 11 years ago.
But it was thoughtful of the respondent to think it over very carefully
for eleven years to insure a correct answer. Perhaps he would like to
donate to the dead complainants favorite charity?
