Some older Rheem/Ruud furnaces had a rollout switch mounted directly to the front of the HE and would occasionally trip for no obvious reason. Besides the HE itself, I would look for adequate combustion air, and that nothing was causing negative pressure that would pull the flames out. Larry

Very good grasshopper.... Mud nest in the outlet of the combustion blower. Lit with a bang... enough to bow the cabinet door.
Which of course cuts labor costs as it is already partially disassembled. ;-p
Don't forget the charge for sheet metal work. :-)
Its a great deal. That bent panel can also double as a Ford Hubcap.
