Most likely a dirty flame sensor. Shut off your furnace at the disconnect switch mounted on it, should look like a light switch, restart it and listen to the startup sequence. If you hear the burner fire up and then go out a few seconds later, that's what it is and it's an easy fix you can do yourself.

That's what you try if the fan doesn't come on. The funny thing about that is it happens far more when the AC is in use than the heat.

The motor was WAY loud yesterday, but still heating the place. Sometime in the middle of the night it just froze up. I can hear it buzzing so it's getting power, but no movement at all. Plus, you can smell the hot metal smell in the air. Fun times. |

correcting papers and watching the original hawaii 5-0 on Decades. Not going out unless we have to get my Father in laws wife from the hospital to bring her home.
83 and carrying stuff up stairs instead of the elevator. WTF.

I'm thinking so.
I'm one of those damned dirty renters that you've come to love and adore so much over the years (just add that to the list, haha), and my maintenance guy is actually busting his tail on this the last couple of days. He's off to Lowe's right now to pick up a number of new motors, and he's said a couple of other apartments are dealing with the same thing. This complex is actually really nice, but it's about 20 years old and approaching the half life on these heater/ac units. |

Kind of surprised they don't have any blower motors on hand but many property management companies are reactive instead of proactive. I'd also be shocked if he found a blower motor at Lowe's, the HVAC industry does not like DIYers and does not supply much of anything to big box stores. |

I had a problem with my furnace like 20 years ago on super bowl Sunday and it was 2 degrees out. It kept ticking but it wouldn’t ignite. My friend told me to take the cover off and bang on the manifold and woooosh it ignited. I’d set the thermostat to 80 and then shut it off. I had to do that shit all day until I could get the part on Monday. It was the igniter.

I guess I can always just take out the old system and set it on fire in the tub, or something.
