Troubleshooting Payne propane furnace blower fan constant but no heat

Zen · 2013-01-15T08:20:03+00:00

Just as it gets cold, my Payne hot air propane-fired furnace broke! of a sudden, the blower just blows cold air constantly without letup.The pilot flame never starts.Obviously, the gas never lights up either.This happened, all of a sudden.Normally, it has an electronic pilot, which lights the gas about a minute after the blower starts. There is plenty of propane.Any troubleshooting ideas?I think there are three main components:1. The flame apparatus2. The circuit board 3. The lockout switchI'm inclined to just buy all three, and replace (and have a spare), since I remember the last service call was expensive and the circuit board was replaced in seconds after a three week wait for the parts to arrive.Do you have any idea WHERE I can get the three main components?

Yes...seems reasonable. Unit looks old probably only one fan

+1 That's sure what it looked exactly like to me. But I have to be careful now. George says it's not OK to try to decipher what a poster actually has based on what he gives us. I'm supposed to only ask clarifying questions, otherwise the thread becomes too long as we try to sort it out.

That's for sure, we have to do what George says.

Wonder if the OP ever got the heat back on? And, if he got permission from George to have it fixed?
