Good morning, this is my first post. I feel fortunate to have found this forum and hoping to find an answer to my problem.
I had a Heil furnace (#GDE100F14A2) installed into my 30 year home just over 5 years ago. (Funny how problems always occur after the warranty ends). After noticing that the igniter was continuously cycling in and out I contacted the professional for a service call.
His remedy was as simple as blowing into the pressure tube to clean it out. Quickest $65.00 that fellow ever made. The furnace continued to work fine for about two weeks then the same thing happen. But, I was too savvy to shell out another $65.00 so I blew into the tube and all was well for about another two weeks. Well it's been about 6 weeks now and I have learned to just leave the lower cover off of the furnace to make it easier for me to blow into the tube.
Can anyone comment on what they feel could be the cause of this. Since the problem only occur after several days of satisfactory operation I doubt that there are any mechanical failures. And since the furnace worked fine for the first 5 years I doubt that heat vent/cold air returns balance is a factor. Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.
