Default Furnace Issue

ITD... FYI... the Ignitor module was repalced less than 3 mos ago. As you mentioned the space between the Ignitor terminals needs to be calibrated fairly accurately.

I think my service tech just 'eye-balled', as you described. He told me at the time, that he was the expert, and had been doing this for over 30 yrs, so didn't need to use gage. I took away arrogance from that remark !

"Ok" was my answer. Who was I to tell the expert how to do his job, or question his ability and experience, what do I know ! Well maybe he got the terminals gapped correctly, and maybe he didn't?

I'll check the Ignitor box for soot, and also check photo cell and clean.
I see on page# 5 where electrode terminals are described. I'm assuming there's a special tool you need to use to set that gap?

Thanks,
BD
