Default Furnace Problem ?

Thanks ITD for link on Honeywell Controller.

BTW, the last time I hit reset button, I held in for about 10 seconds then released. After about 15-20 seconds the burner kiked on and a huge blast of black smoke, came out my power venter. I suspect as a reults of an accumulation of oil in the combustion chamber. Next time, I'll just hit the reset button and release immediately ! Can you say KA-BOOM ! Not funny !

FYI, service tech also replace wom type of swithc on the power vent recently. As you know, if the power venter is not working, you'll NEVER start the furnace. It's a built-in safety feature. Darn powere ventors, I hate them, lots of trouble.

Also, which I didn't mention, is the furnace is located in a small outside room
(8x3) attached to the main building, but definitely separate. Have been told that this furnace room space, may not be getting enough air-flow exchange into the area, which could cause a shut-down of furnace. Also I guess a possibility ? Sort of makes ense ?

Will check wires in control module and photo cell next.

Thanks,
BD
