On 2019-06-21 by stevenharwell84 - Carrier furnace model# 28RDi4800 manual needed

I have a customer thats lives way out of town and they have an old Carrier furnace model# 28RDi4800 they say it's making a thumping noise in the blower compartment so my question is does this furnace have a beit driven blower motor so I'll know what to take with me Thanks.

On 2018-12-10 by Jason - York Furnace. Model: UGC105D11N 1A.

Looking for a manual for an old York Furnace. Model: UGC105D11N 1A. It makes a terrible fan vibrating noise when the burners first start up. When I open the access panel I don’t see a visible draft inducer motor. Any help would be appreciated.

On 2018-12-09 by (mod) - LENOX G12RQ3E-B2-12 blower won't start

Watch the temperature dial in the fan limit switch after the burner turns on.

You should see the tile slowly rotate as the heating plenum warms up. If the dial rotates to the fan on position marked on the dial and the blower still does not start I would check all wiring connections for looseness or corrosion. If wiring is correct I would replace the switch.

On 2018-11-24 by mod: Need a manual with the electrical schematics.

Frank,

You need to specify the brand and model of the equipment - then on the page above go the the right alphabetical group to find the company - on that page you'll see quite a few manuals as well as contact information for each manufacturer.

The wiring diagrams or electrical schematics are often provided in the IO or Installation/Operation manual for your equipment.

If you look in those articles and don't find your company or brand/model post another comment and I'll help you look further.

On 2018-07-12 by Juan Sears Coldspot AC manual

P.S. the Sears Coldspot is being used as a through the wall AC, but it seems that was a window AC. My apologies if I have posted a question in the wrong area.

I have a Sears Coldspot air conditioner that from images on the web, it was built in the 1960s or 1970s.

The model number is 106.70171. I have determined that the first three digits, 106, meant that it was manufactured by Whirlpool. I am trying to decode the last five digits, 70171. Thanks for your help in advance.

On 2017-07-27 by (mod) - rattling HVAC blower fan

Interesting, Peter.

Perhaps the screen and filter were themselves loose?

Or

With power OFF you might see if the squirrel cage blower fan wiggles in its mount - signaling a worn fan bearing, or if there is a loose pully if your fan isn't a direct-drive unit.

Sometimes when a fan part is rattling around if we simply disturb it or change the air flow through it the rattling will cease or change - for a time.

We can fix the problem when we know what's loose.

On 2017-07-27 by PETER

I have a 1968 'American Standard' gas forced air furnace.
The fan unit starts to rattle and make noise when the heater is started.

The noise stopped when I removed the louvered screen and filter.
Any ideas on what is causing this; and How to fix the problem?
Thanks

On 2016-11-18 by (mod) Goodman/Janitrol (1982 model) home furnace

Rico,

I'm not sure about a 1982 model - but on current Goodman gas furnaces the igniter is electronic, so you won't see a pilot. The igniter is a ceramic and wire spark generator over the gas burner. Following wires at the burner area will point to it.

If yours is an older model that uses an actual pilot flame then there will be a thermocouple - search Inspectapedia for THERMOCOUPLE to see what that component looks like, then follow the small copper tube from the gas valve towards the burner.

On 2016-11-18 by Ricowill44

Hi,

I have a Goodman/Janitrol (1982 model) home furnace. Can someone please tell me where the pilot/igniter is located?

Thus far, I haven't seen any buttons/switches that say 'pilot' or 'igniter'.

Thanks in advance!

On 2016-11-18 by (mod) 1999 comfort maker

Tammy

Most-likely you're un-screwing a thumbscrew - a fastener designed to permit loosening by hand or without a screwdriver or nut-driver.

If you needed to buy one you'd ask for a "knurled thumbscrew" but you'd need to know the length and thread size and type of the knurled thumbscrew to get the right one. Best would be to take one of the remaining ones that you haven't lost over to a hardware store for matching, or to a heating supplier, or to a fastener supplier. Rhino, for example, makes and sells knurled thumbscrews online, as do Morton Machine Works, RAF Electronic, Winco, Gibraltar, and Nemco.

On 2016-10-20 by (mod) peerless jotw-150-Wpc

Joe,
Typically you need at least 1 sq.in. of open air intake per 1000 input BTUH of the heater. That's open space. So if the air intake is screened or louvered you need to increase the sq.in. of air intake accordingly. Please search InspectApedia.com for COMBUSTION AIR REQUIREMENTS to read details.

On 2016-09-16 by (mod) furnace won't shut off

First try disconnecting the thermostat wires at the furnace control. If that turns off the heater then we suspect that the thermostat wires are shorted together. If not the problem is in the furnace control at the unit not the thermostat.

First see the diagnostics at FAN WONT STOP - LIMIT SWITCH -

Cindy, we took our online copies of most manuals offline in response to Google's search and site characterization procedures. Let me research this boiler and I'll see what I can find asap.

Also as you'll see (with live links) in our references section below,

When converting a 95% Efficient 2-Stage 90,000BTU furnace from Natural Gas to LP Gas (Propane), what can go wrong if the contractor installs the wrong size gas orifices? For example, if the proper LP Gas orifice is supposed to be size 1.15 (.0453 dia) ..what can happen if he installed size 54 (.0550 dia)? Specifically, can an oversize LP gas orifice cause excessive soot and eventually plug the heat exchanger?

Reply:

Tammy,

If your furnace is a recent model you can identify it's brand, model, serial number, then give the manufacturer a call to obtain the clearances and to ask for a copy of the installation manual. From just your note we can't say a thing - as we don't know what furnace you're describing.

Reply:

If the sound is coming from the motor itself it may need replacement; if the sound is coming from a control it may just be a buzzing relay that needs to be replaced. Most such motors are rather standard - take the old parts to your HVAC service supplier for an equivalent replacement.
