Finally a working furnace!!! I replaced the control board which had a bad motor relay. It was burnt right behind the relay where it is soldered in. I ended up paying $49 for a new control board. A very reasonable price. Once replaced the furnace fired right up! Thanks Estrogen Hostage (first...

After replacing the pressure switch the furnace ignitor will glow and the burners will kick on. After about a minute the main blower motor fails to start and the unit shuts down. The next thing I checked was the main blower motor which was working fine when I by passed the control board and...

Thanks Jim, I took apart the draft inducer, the exhaust pipe and cap and the hose. I then cleaned everything thoroughly and checked the hose for any cracks or splits. There were no obstructions in the vent pipe or the cap. I did have to put heavy suction on the pressure switch to get it to...

Thanks for the info Thatguy. I will purchase some hose and try the test. If that is succesful and I need a pressure switch can you recomend a web site to purcahse one? The furnace is a Ducane MPGA07583A SN # 6891790229. The switch has no brand on it. The part number on the switch is...

Thanks EH, I will give it a try and post the results. Do you know of a good site where I can order the part from. Everything I have looked at here locally is super expensive! Thanks again! Dean I

Speedbump, thanks for the reply. It turned out to be a waterlogged tank. the well screen is also plugged. I am also going to treat the well screen with tabs and flush with water as you suggested. I am replacing the pipe in the well and adding a footvalve which it didnt have. I should have...

shallow well Bob thanks for the reply. I put in about 48' of 1 1/2" pipe. Can you suggest a good quality switch? Today I was planning on pulling the pvc pipe and replacing it along with the foot valve. I was also going to replace the check valve at the pump. reference the new well-tablets...

sand point well Bob thanks for the advice. I will check the things you mentioned.

About 9 years ago my father and I sunk a sandpoint well. We went down about 50 feet using 2" galvanized pipe. I installed a well x trol pressure tank model wx302 and a 1 h.p. standard Fairbanks Morse shallow well jet pump. we ran 1 1/2" pvc pipe into the galvanized pipe and connected to the...
