Furnace Keeps Shutting Off - Furnace Repair 

Thank you, sir. I can't see my breath anymore and am regaining the feeling in my toes. Plus, my wife now thinks I'm a genius. We couldn't agree on that before.

I really really appreciate you for making this video i'm a single mom in a big house and every plumber I had come look at it was just taking my money and not fixing it and because of you I fixed it myself thank you thank you so much

Wow! First off, I just want to say thank you so very very much for fixing my problem. Exactly what you said, I did, and it's fixed. I can't even imagine how much I saved. I wish I can give you a handshake and a hug. Thanks again for keeping my family warm. May God bless you and yours!

I wish I can give you more than 1 LIKE. You saved me a few hundred bucks. 24Jan19, I woke up to a cold house. When I came across your video, I followed your steps and my heater was up and running again. Thank you. 5 Stars *****

YES LORD!!! 🙏Thank you for making this video. 👏 After 2 days without heat and 3 cold shivering children 😂 , issue has been RESOLVED !! and hundreds have been saved. 🙌

Now as a UK citizen I LOVE the term "Furnace"! In the UK we have boilers. Furnaces for us are things that melt metal, burn dead bodies etc. Furnace is WAY MORE EXCITING!

Thanks - this helped my family as well. I rarely post comments, but wanted others to know this helped me on a Lennox system. Thanks again!

Thank you so much! The heating guy came, said our flame sensor is dirty, needs to be cleaned for $227.00 or replaced for the same amount. After watching your video and three minutes later its done and working like new!!! Thank you!

I was just panicking and thought of RU-vid. This was my issue and I followed your directions and it worked! Thank you!

Let me say this thank you and God bless, husband works for city and has been out all night plowing snow . We have 2 boys and I am currently pregnant and can't afford to get sick lol I was able to fix this myself while he is at work. I speak for myself but if you started a PayPal donation account I am pretty sure people like me would donate 10 or 20 dollars to you for your knowledge and the fact that you saved us on paying for a $300.00 house call! God bless once again...

Thank you , I felt it was a simple thing but the heater would come on after three or 4 cycles to trying to start and stay started. I can see from just looking at several comments on this video that there are a lot of grateful people, as am I. Blessings to you Mr. FIX IT!

Can’t say thank you enough for this video. Been battling my furnace for awhile and you not only saved me some money, but also my sanity. I love you.

Thank you so much from a cold house in Michigan. Quick and easy fix and worked like a charm. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video.

Hey Coach. I watched a dozen different videos, and all of you HVAC guys who posts How-to videos on RU-vid "Thank You" so much. Believe it or not, it's Christmas Eve and the furnace decided to take some extra time off. And we called somebody to come out and there were no takers, and this close to Christmas I didn't want to shell out a couple hundred bucks for a technician to come out. So, I went through all the videos, and several trips downstairs, we have a horizontal Goodman, and at first I thought it was the igniter, but once I got the side panel off, I could see the igniter lighting up, then the gas would come on, but immediately shut itself off. Strike One. So I came up again and watched several more videos, posted by your hero Santa Claus "good will towards men" types, and got a good explanation on how the heat sensor works, and how that could be the most obvious problem. So after an hour of watching videos, and getting up the confidence, I grabbed a piece of fine grit sandpaper, pulled out the heat sensor, and noticed it was very dirty. I sanded it down gently, to where it was shiny, and reinstalled it. I checked the other lines too while I was at up. Turned on the safety switch, and low and behold, there IS a Santa Clause. It's been running now for a good ten minutes and Mom and the dogs and cats and warm and cozy again. All is good with the world, until tomorrow's drama rears its humbug head. I just wanted to shout a sincere and respectful "Thank You". For saving me $200 bucks and putting us back as ease.

This is a great tutorial. Unfortunately my situation is different I am changing out the inducer motor. So since I am there I also ordered a flame sensor to change out. My furnace is around 15 years old. So I am just going to replace it. It was only $8. But I will put a reminder in my phone to clean it every year. I may even reference your video in my reminder. Thank you

It's a Sunday night-Freezing cold weather-10 inches of snow coming-repair companies covered up with service calls-and I've got a furnace that decides to come on and then shut off. I watched your video about cleaning flame sensor and tried it! GREAT DAY in the MORNING!!!!!!!!!! It worked! I estimate that you saved me about 300.00 bucks! I can't thank you enough! My whole family THANKS YOU! Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much! This is exactly what was wrong with my furnace. I fixed it in 15 minutes--the hardest part was getting out the retaining screw on the flame sensor.

Thanks, this is exactly what my furnace was doing and cleaning the flame sensor was an easy 5 min fix.

Seven yrs and this video is still helping. Just saved me a couple hundred bucks… super cold night tonight. Thank you… 😃

This video just absolutely saved our family in the snap freeze today, just a simple cleaning of the sensor and we were back to normal. Thank you soooooo much for making this video!!!

I want to say thank you so much last night, my family and I had a cold night. I came across this video today and I did as you said and now the heat is working fine. I really appreciate you taking the time to making this video may you be blessed.. PS. Now it's seem like I'm the man.. I'm a handy man.. lol thanks again..

You are the best hands down my family and i were out of heat in the house for 2 days and came across this video and tried it and works thanks to you we have heat again👍👍

Wow. My furnace did this and I followed your advice.....Furnace is staying on.amazing.I would have been out of a lot of money had I called someone out to fix it. Thank You soo much. God Bless you sir

Sir I am just going to repeat what everyone else has said, but just thank you. I cannot begin to tell you how appreciative I am that you made this video. Probably was not a big deal for you, but judging by the comments there are so many of us who can't thank you enough.

Beautiful ... it worked .... thank you ... Praise Our Heavenly Father ... blessings to you

This guy is getting some tonight for sure. Thank you

this is the second video this week that has bailed my family out big time. ive been a plumber and now a furnace tech this week both fixed with youtube videos from people like yourself. god bless

Thank you so much. After a long day at work with the flu and being 5 months pregnant going home to a cold house was dreadful. I'm blessed to say you saved me money and the stress of figuring how to keep warm tonight. GOD BLESS YOU.

Man thanku, u made me a believer in RU-vid and have confidence in myself being that I'm handy illiterate

Thank you saved me from calling out for service saved me money thank you

Life saver. Thanks. Is there nothing one can't learn on RU-vid?

I thought i was going to have to call a heating person tomorrow but after viewing your video, I was able to solve my problem. Thank you so much for your wonderful video. God Bless!

Thank you very much make my night warm again

What if you don’t have a flame sensor when this occurs. Mine stays on for a few ki ties tan it goes off for about 5-7 minutes

Christmas day my furnace went out. This website helped me fix my furnace and kept my family from freezing. Thankyou

Thank you for this video. My unit got fixed just by playing your video. I was going to shut off the power to it and I had a thought to try to turn it on one more time. And it worked. Being a praying woman, I know that I experienced a miracle, and I also know that I’ll need to clean it up because it does look very dirty. God bless you and your family!

This video just me and my family's life. Now we can finally start making smores again.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. cold, icy out and I've got no heat. Saved my bacon!

Worked like a charm! Just saved me from having a miserable Super Bowl weekend, not to mention a pile of money. Thank you for posting.

Thank you for your video. This worked. I don't think the sensor had been cleaned since it was installed 12 years ago. And it didn't even look that dirty. Bless you. It's 17 degrees outside, but it's already getting warmer in our home.

Lol I'm sure the only thumbs down are from the heating techs.

You are THE MAN!!!!!!!!!

Thank you! You just saved this single mom a ton of money by not needing to call someone out to fix my furnace! I appreciate you taking your time to make this.

Helping a guy here in 2022. Thanks to you I'll be able to sleep without needing 3 blankets

OMG I can't thank you enough. After hiring several HVAC people to do mediocre work and finally saying I needed to spend about $4,000 on a new unit, I was fortunate enough to see your video. Not good with DIY projects at all but your video made it so simple! You're a life saver as it's 30 degrees (F) here, it's the day after Xmas and the unit decided to shut down. Thank you!

I went down and pulled the sensor and cleaned it after i saw your video. It's been about 5 years since the furnace was installed.

I will like to really thank you for making this video about the furnace keep shutting off. I had to sleep without heat last night and my home was as low as 50 degrees. Today I save money by watching your video and have a warm house for my family. Thank you and God bless! Please keep doing your videos they really are helpful.

You are a life saver. And money. Thanks for this video. I literally have been freezing in my house waiting for Monday to come so I could get a serviceman out. Watched your video and did it myself. Thanks a million.

Found this video at 5am today. Its straight to the point too. Within 10 minutes has heat again. Thanks

Great short video and right to the point and the fix. My issue was exactly as he described it. I just did exactly what he suggested and it worked!! I still have the old piece from the last guy who did furnace fix (same issue) and he charged me over $200 for part and labor. Thank you for sharing!! I can only imagine the thumbs down is from the repair guy.

Bro - you saved me the expense of a service call out! Took about 15 minutes and all is good. Much thanks.

I also wish I can give you more than one thumbs up. I thought I needed to buy a new furnace that would have cost me a few thousand dollars, but I followed your instructions and WALLA!!! My furnace is back operational. Thank you so much. 👍👍😊😊

Excellent video, very nice short and to the point. I think I watched this video years ago but I needed a refresher, so thanks :)

This guy is officially the GOAT! Thank you for the video. Saved us a lot of money by just checking on it.

Thank you so much for this quick and informative video. I was feeling exceptionally cold in the house, noticed that the heat was cycling on and off too frequently, and it was blowing cold air. Watched your video, a 1/4 inch socket, some 7000 Grit sandpaper, and I have heat once again!

Wow! My furnace was doing this exact thing. Thanks a LOT for doing this video. 23 degrees outside today. This just saved me an $85 house call for diagnosis, then likely another $150.oo to "repair".

Thank you been out of town for work . My wife told me the heater wasnt working correctly. Just got home and its snowing outside . Thanks to this video the heater is up and running again!!!!

Woke up to no heat, did this exact thing and it now works! Saved me lots of $ for a weekend service call, thank you!!!

This old Video probably just saved me Hundreds of dollars for a midnight emergency call when its -10 in Montana... YOU ROCK!!!!!!!

Thank you! You saved my butt at 5am today when I woke up to my house at 59 and getting colder. It's back up and running now thanks to you!

Just spent several hundred dollars on a hvac tech who could not determine the problem. Spent 5 minutes following your directions and it now works fine. One more time I should have gone to RU-vid first

I love you. I just bought my house this summer and it's supposed to be -5 tonight in minnesota..its 830 at night and i (you) just fixed my furnace! Thank you!

5 years later and your video is accurate. Thank you sir for making this video!!!!

Woke up this morning furnace was doing exactly this. Followed your steps and it fired right back up. Thank you!!!

Saw this video a year ago when my furnace did this .... I followed the steps and it resolved my issues, just yesterday I had the same issues and it again fixed it saved this girl a lot of money from calling a tech thanks a bunch what’s cool to me is I’m a girl and could do it so any one can woohoo thanks a bunch.

This guy is spot on. I replaced the flame sensor , cleaned the burners, changed the filters which worked a couple of years ago when my trane xb would not stay lit. Just beware if u have a nest thermostat with a low internal battery, if u still can’t get it to stay lit, pull the thermostat off the wall and charge it up for an hour or so - - after that it was good to go.

I had an Armstrong Ultra V Tech 91 and I had this problem for 4 hours. Watch the video and fix it. You saved me. Thanks

Worked like a charm! I live 30 mins from any town and just for a repair guy to drive out is $200.00 + plus time and materials. Thanks!

Thank you x 1,000,000! Coldest night of the year tomorrow night and my furnace would not ignite. Such an easy fix, thank you!

it took me longer to watch this video than to fix the issue after watching this awesome video. Saved big bucks and had the heat up and running in 2-minutes from 54 to 70.

God bless you. You just saved me $300. It worked like magic on my furnace. Wow!!! Thank youuuuuu

Thank you, I know nothing about a furnace and when I tell you it work like a charm God bless you for sharing this

You saved me tonight! I was trying everything to fix my furnace in negative degree temps and this immediately worked like a charm! Seriously you are a godsend!

Thank you for the simple and detailed instructions on how to get the heater working again. As you already know you saved us novices a lot of $$$$. Thank you again, James

Thank you! Your video saved my family from dying frozen tonight!

Thank you so much for showing this! You just saved us the cost of having a repair man come service it. Great video!

Wow! THANK YOU! I'm going out of town tomorrow and my heat went out this morning. There are others living in my home and I would have needed to call an emergency Heating & Air serviceman to fix this today. Your advice was simple and correct! Amazing!

You just saved my family from a long cold night. Its -25 here in Canada and this got our furnace working again. Cheers

Just want to thank you for saving me $700ish for a repair that cost me $0. I turned on your video and my malfunctioning heater at the same time and it was like you were talking about my money pit. Thank you very much! 😊

Thank you so much. The video perfectly showed the problem and the solution. I was able to get my furnace back to running properly in less than 30 minutes thanks to you!

Buddy u just saved me some money. Heating cooling guy was on his way, when I ran across ur video. This was my problem. Thank u so much👍🏽👊🏽

Thank you from Austin Texas! Your video saved me $$$ for a service call for something relatively simple. Merry Christmas to you!

You just saved me a HVAC call!!! Thank you so much :D Took a slight bit of sand paper to the sensor, lightly took off the corrosion, and the furnace fired up (and stayed on). I think it solved the problem. YOU ROCK!!!

Thanks a bunch, repaired my furnace for $25 with your help.

Thanks ,exactly what was wrong with mine,fixed in about twenty minutes.What a life saver in the middle of January.I owe you. Randy

Had 2 different HVAC companies come and give me 2 different wrong diagnoses they even crawled into the addict. I watched this and now it's back working again. Thanks.

Thanks for saving me a weekend emergency service call! You ROCK!

I just wanted to say thank you for this simple fix, as a single mama, I loved I get fix the furnace

Thank you. During a bad snow storm, this handy tip got my furnace up and running, saving me a very expensive furnace man call.

As a plumber I hate to admit that I couldn't figure it out, but I appreciate the video worked like a charm!

Thank you for making this video. The video is clear and well narrated. You just saved a bunch of people $$$.

Thank you so much way to save the day. RU-vid needs to give you a raise my friend

You are awesome. I figured it was that thing, but thought it was the thermo couple and didn't know what to do with it. Cleaned it and my family is warm again! Thank you!

1:50am, temperature dipping, and suddenly no heat. Found your video. Removed and sanded the flame sensor then reinstalled. 2:13am We have heat! Thank you so much for posting your video!

Thanks for posting this video! It was the exact solution I needed to get my furnace up and running again! Very grateful that you would share your expertise!

Thank you, I live in Michigan this morning no heat at 2:00, I saw your video and you got my Family back to sleep warm thank you.

Thanks for the information.Could not find a piece of sand paper at the moment so i used the fine part of my wifes nail file and got the job done. That fixed the problem!

Thank you for this video! You saved my family and me from a frosty night

Hello, Tried your tip and my heater works GREAT - Thank You.
