A cheap dude trying to get some shit done himself.
Gas valve is on, batteries in thermostat are new. Pressure switch lines and ports have been checked and are clear. Water drain pan and line are verified clear. I could be wrong but I thought that the first event in the sequence for the furnace to fire was the blower starting up, and that is not happening so I was not expecting to see the igniter glow, and it does not. When I turn on the Tstat it signals the furnace and the furnace clicks and then sounds like it is trying to start up, but only hums. It sounds like it is a seized motor, but the blower starts up fine when the A/C is turned on, it is only when trying to fire up the heat that the blower is not starting. Here is the exact sequence.
1. Thermostat is turned on and can hear the switch click at the thermostat.
2. Furnace receives signal when tstat is turned on and clicks at the furnace.
3. Furnace hums as though it is getting juice and trying to start.
4. Red LED comes on on the little circuit board and stays on for a couple seconds.
5. Red LED goes off for a couple seconds, then blinks 3 times.
6. Red LED continues to blink in clusters of 3 times.
7. Furnace continues to hum as though it is trying to start but nothing fires and no blower comes on.
Whatever switch or relay or solenoid or capacitor that controls the blower kicking on during the heat function I assume is my issue, but not sure. Wondering if there is a quick way to check this. I have a multimeter on hand at home. Hope some of this info helps. As far as exact make and model, I would have to give that info when I get home, I'm at work now.
