Heil keep right on running

[Stormin Mormon]

I'm working (again) on a Heil. It's about 80K, upflow model. Older one, a 70 or 80 percenter.

Customer's complaint, keeps on running. House gets hot, and they have to turn it off at the swtich on the side of the furnace.

He's changed the you-know-what a couple times. I pulled a wire for the YKW.

So, the fellow called me, and it's running right along. Wants to know if he should change the YKW again. No, don't do that.

Last time it happened, I got him to call me right over. I pulled the main cover, and tapped ont he box with the electric. Went right out. Aha! Relay isn't releasing. Replace the relay.

And a couple weeks later, it's happening again. What's the odds of a bad relay a couple months later? Not all that much.

what's the next couple things to check? Sticky gas valve would cause that problem. Any other common problems?

So, should we flame your butt off for posting an alt.hvac question in a "consumer" group? After all, turn about's fair play...

[HeatMan]

Yeah, you working on it...

[HeatMan]

Flame away. He posts here because the alt.hvac people know he's an idiot.

[Stormin Mormon]

Only if you can document that I, personally, have flamed anyone on the HVAC group. I'm one of the most polite people on that group.

[HeatMan]

Flaming is one thing.

Not knowing what you're talking about is another...

Hey, I typed an answer to your comment. And then seconds later, I remember something more profound.

There was a very drunken man on a public bus. A very fat, and ugly woman said with a sneer "You're drunk!".

The man replied "you're fat and ugly!"

The lady repeated "you're drunk".

The man repeated "you're fat and ugly".

The lady repeated.

The man returned with a big smile "But I'll be sober in the morning!".

My answer to you is that I will learn how to fix Heils.

[Stormin Mormon]

I'll agree with that. Education and explaination work on one of them. The other one is usually incurable, except for the healing salve of the Gospel of Christ.

[Oscar_Lives]

Maybe you ought to learn who Jesus Christ is...

[~KJPRO~]

I doubt that!!!

Shit snipped!!

He can't, his eyes are glued shut!!

Not a chance. Jesus requires you to listen and understand !

Back from the customer's house. The furnace runs great by removing or replacing the heat wire. Lights up, and goes right out. So, the conclusion is either bad wire, or bad T-stat. I pulled the wire myself, and checked that. Not shorted. Conclusion is that the YKW is defective.
