Furnace with over-active igniter
After years of lurking, I have finally come up with an issue that I have to post my own thread for!
I have a furnace that in the past couple days has decided to continue to click (sounds like the igniter) AFTER lighting. It lights up no problem, keeps the trailer nice and toasty. The clicking is not continuous, it occurs at fairly regular intervals that I have not timed because I usually notice it when I'm about half-awake. On occasion the fan will also shut off then start up seconds later. Re-ignites just fine (or stays ignited?), keeps blowing warm air.
I'm planning on trying to open it up later to see if there's anything in there that might be clogging up the fan or doing something... The outside vents have been meshed for years, so shouldn't be anything getting in that way, but I do have critters with copious amounts of fur. And my poor rig was neglected for 6 years before I got it (I've been fulltiming it for 3.5 years), so who knows what's going on in there....
I know I should give you guys the full specs of the furnace, but it's 4 AM and I don't feel like getting up yet, so I'll get to that later... :)
