Goodman furnace pilot light problems.

Pilot light blows out. Other times the thermocouple in your furnace might manually shut off the pilot light for safety reasons. Sometimes this can happen simply due to a strong draft nearby. The tip of the pilot light where the gas comes out and ignites is a haven for collecting soot grime and grit.

The pilot light on my mom s bryant 394had upflow furnace has gone out. The most common and well known problem with pilot lights is that the flame can blow out. My mission is simple. Finally solved my furnace problem.

Flame adjusters control the size of the pilot light s flame. Hvac systems are designed for safety so they usually won t turn on at all if there s a faulty part such as a pressure switch or flame sensor. Open the access panel and look at the flue pipe system leading to the burners and pilot light. I know i sound like an idiot but i cannot find the location of the pilot.

If the flame is too small it won t kick. If the goodman furnace still doesn t light at the burner level even after ensuring the gas supply is on and the proper ignition sequence was followed turn off the furnace and ensure the furnace is cool. Hopefully this video will help someone with their furnace troubles.
