Recently moved into this house so I don't have a history with this furnace as yet. With Fall coming on noticed this clicking noise while furnace is running (see attached vid).
Took the lower cover off and, using a mechanic's stethoscope, I noticed it's coming from black solenoid looking thing on right front of gas valve. Furnace seems to function just fine.
Everything I googled on this says igniter is running, but I watched and listened to igniter operate when furnace first starts up; doesn't sound like the same noise and don't see any sparking around the igniter when the noise is happening. Sometimes it makes the noise, and sometimes it doesn't. Definitely not normal as I can hear it on other side of the house.
Anyone have ideas on what this could be? TIA!
