Bryant furnace-- code 34?
|
|
| cerealtrader 2006-03-12, 3:21 pm |
| Good Morning:
About two weeks ago, we woke up to pilot lights on both the hot water
heater and furnace out. No problem with restarting either on the first
try.
This morning, the Bryant furnace was out (Model 373L--it and the house
are 4 years old) -- I attempted to restart it, but get a Code 34
returned ("Ignition Proving Failure") each time, which then goes into
lockout (Code 14). I wiggled each and every wire, cleaned the filters,
and said a small prayer; however, no go.
Some poking around online brings up various suggestions; one more than
most-- "oxide buildup on flame sensor". I am not a HVAC-type guy, and
cannot locate the flame sensor... cleaning it with some steel wool
seems to be my next option, if someone can point me to it?
Any other suggestions are most welcomed (prior to the dreaded service
call)..

| I apologize for assuming that a heating question would be inappropriate
in a heating and cooling newsgroup. I'll also assume you don't have
anything useful to add, or a life, so you're just trolling around
pretending you have clever things to say.

I assume you're a fucking moron who thinks the whole of
fucking Usenet exists to answer stupid cheap-assed fucking home-moaner
questions.
I also assume you can suck my dick.
You fucking XXXXXXX....

The flame sensor should be a probe that protrudes into one of the burner
flames so if the flame is not present it is detected and shuts off the gas.

You obviously didnt pray hard enough. Have you been to confession? I
suggest you go............Immediately! When you get back, kneel down
before your furnace and pray for 2 days. Next, clean the filter again.
Im sure you didnt clean it good enough. After that, wiggle all the
wires again, only this time, stroke each of them slightly. Then give
them a hard tug. If that still doesnt work, replace your thermostat.
Dont use one of those cheap things from the Home Cheapo stores. Get
one of the really good digital programmable ones.
You should be up and running quickly because its almost always the
thermostat.
