Generally that's accomplished either with a timer, or by a second thermodisc ( klixon) that's mounted next to the high limit one on the heat exchanger.

Because he had to relight it, ya goofball.

It wasn't clear to me at first what type of furnace it was...I'm recalling that with some models, if no flame is sensed then gas gets shut off and the blower starts in order to keep gas from possibly collecting in the area.

It could very well be a re-badged intertherm, which if I recall is the same as coleman, york, luxaire and probably a few other brand names.

I think Luxaire may still have pretty good documentation online.

You missed the dripping sarcasm, like you missed so much else.

I saw in your other post, that dissemble and clean did the job. From what you wrote, sounded a bit like it was wired wrong. In any case, glad you managed to get it going for now. Hope it stayed fixed.

The service guy told me that the limit switch both turns the burner off, and forces the fan to turn on, so that the heat exchanger gets some cooling if the fan switch is broken.

So the behavior is normal for a broken fan switch -- it's just that fixing the fan switch doesn't fix the @$#% behavior.

( Inducer fan, not "blower" )

But it's been a while since I've had to deal with these, and so I also pointed him to a few sites to look at...

Is it the door switch ? are you sure the door is closing onto the switch. It is likely the case.

The switch is in series with the motor. simple elec.

Does the fan actually run when you put power to it?

The methodology of the left has always been:

  1. Lie
  2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
  3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
  4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
  5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
  6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
