·I have a problem with a natural gas furnace.
When I turn the wall thermostat up to make the furnace come on, it does NOT come on. If I do one of the following two things, the furnace comes on. 1. take out the fuse and re-install it. Or 2. remove the furnace front cover and replace put it back on (this allows the safety switch to come out and then be re-pushed in again, and this is what is causing the furnace to start). I tried installing a new thermostat but that didn't change anything except that I can now get the furnace to come on by turning the power off and then back on again at the thermostat. The heater works fine once it comes on but seems to need to be reset each time by cutting the power to the furnace and reestablishing it. I'm thinking there must be some part that is responsible for this that may need to be replaced. If anyone can can identify the problem and offer some advice on what I can do to fix it, I'd be very greatful.
Thank you,
