*Always use a licenced and certified technician*
*This is not a how to video its a how I video*
My furnace wasn't staying lit, it would attempt to start going through the opening cycle 3 times before shutting down. Red and Green fast flashing lights as an error code. This is how I fixed it and saved some money. I'll need to replace the flame sensor but this simple trick saved me from a freezing cold house at 2AM until the stores open.

I clean mine once a year with fine steel wool, no problems since. Also make sure you change your furnace filters often. If we get very cold weather and my filter is not clean, the heat exchanger sensor will shut the burners off until the furnace cools down.

I just did this little trick, and it works! My furnace was intermittently not starting. I did exactly what he said to do, I cleaned off the flame sensor. Now it’s working wonderfully! Thank you.

Thanks you Sir. My Lennox system did the same thing yours did tried to ignite 3 times and then would shutdown for a few minutes to clear the gas. After a few attempts it would go into a lock down. I cleaned the flame sensor which was located different than your furnace and was L shaped at the end but after watching your video had no trouble locating it. I cleaned it with a $1 bill just as you did put it back in and heat is on. You saved me some big bucks because it's a Friday night around 5 p.m. when I got home. My furnace was giving a code the red light would flash 8 times then pause and flash 8 times and pause continuously. Now I know. Thanks a bunch!

Thank you for this video! Like you said, it's a Friday night on a holiday weekend. 26 degrees F below zero and getting colder. My heater: "Goodbye Cruel World." We're back up and running after cleaning the sensor.

Whew, That was bitter cold and I worried as well. My Lennox is slightly different and running on L.P. and I haven't had it checked since installed in this old farm house on 11-2019. Works like a champ but when it's bitter cold an old guy on the farm can worry. My furnace place said they sell Lennox cause they are most reliable. Finally going to warm back up but it was 7* below zero near Battle Creek, Mi. this morning. I will stop in this week and buy that sensor and probably ignitor to install and keep old ones as spares.

Dude, you wanna really know why this video was perfect? Today, Dec. 23, 2022, in SE Wisconsin it was -10° at 6 am and yes, No Heat in the house. Fortunately, I have the exact same furnace and mine was doing the same thing. Super easy to fix and 10 min later, my house is warming again. Thank you.

Crooks? A service company spends an average of 2 hours to diagnose (time to get to you plus time in your home plus time to get back to base) the tech gets paid $35 an hour with his benefits (ss and Medicare match and workers comp, you’re at $45 an hour add to it $10 an hour for gas and truck upkeep. If you were charged $125 for a service charge, the heating company breaks even and makes zero profit! They haven’t even paid their office expenses, license fees, taxes and liability insurance yet. You may want to use your own car and gas money to make less than minimum wage but others do not. Before you make a moronic statement about them being rip offs, do the math. If you have no need for them, fine. But don’t label people as rip offs because they charge people a fair rate that allows them to stay in business to serve people that need them. Why pay $7 for breakfast when you can buy a dozen eggs for $1 and have 6 servings. Arron you are dumb.

Excellent video! Thank you for taking the time to share this info. Our is doing the same. I installed the NEST thermostat many years ago when it first came out and I’ll be darned the thing monitors the performance of the furnace! Sent an email saying “hey buddy your furnace had difficulty starting and staying fired, gave the dates and times it happened. The email said Is likely your flame sensor. If you’re not comfortable working on your own furnace NEST customers can receive a service call to diagnose for $50.00”. I always service and repair all my own when needed. Thank you again.

Very informative video, thank you. We use to have an old Rheem gas furnace, and the repairman did the same thing. Only he used a small ribbon of 2500 grit sandpaper. We now have a Lennox furnace just like the one in this video, and it started acting up last night. Did the same thing in the video and it now runs like a champ.

My furnace quit last night. However I've had this issue before. Check your intake pipe outside. On cold ,windy, snowy days this pipe may plug up. Just clear it with some type of wire and it should start up. This may or may not be your issue but before calling a technician go outside and check the intake. Merry warm Christmas to all.

You can jump R- W at the ICM board to call for heat just make sure the door switch is down .If you know that the issue is the flame sensor just buy a new one there less then $30 . Some of these’ sensors are a pain in the butt access so why mess around with a $1 bill for a maybe fix .

Anyone know how to replace the filter on these things? I have the same furnace, but the air intake is different. In this video you can see the filter box set on the floor to the left of the furnace. My air intake does not come from the left, but from the bottom. I opened it up and did not see a 3M square filters nor a larger box filter unit between the air intake and the cylindrical fan towards the bottom. I am starting to think that I might need a tech for this one.
