Janitol furnace dilema

Sep 24, 2006 2 Replies

I am working on a 1993 Janitriol model number GMPN100-4. Actually two of them in the same residence. Big ranch house with on on each side.


I watch the Ignitor turn on, the main valve opens, it ignites and stays lit for about 5 seconds, then the flame goes out. It waits about 30 seconds then does the same thing again.



It stops after three tries and then I get a single blink from the control board.



At least I think it is a single blink. It blinks on, waits 1/2 a second then blinks once again, repeat.....



I replaced the flame sensor and it still does the same thing.



Reading the sticker in the furnce, a single blink means Gas flow, Gas pressure, Gas valve, or Flame sensor.



Sure seems like it is the flame sensor to me, but I have swapped it out once.



It wouldnt flame on if it was the Gas flow, Gas pressure or Gas valve would it?



Any Ideas?



Thanks in advance..

Its propane. All of the pressures checked fine. So I swapped out control boards, and that fixed it.

The control board wasnt picking up the flame sensor.

Thanks to everone who made helpful comments.
