The one time I bypassed all the safety equipment, was an
evening when I needed a part that I didn't have, and the
stores were closed. The house was cold, so I changed a few
things, to be able to put some heat into the house. Not
proud of doing something that dangerous, but it was cold.
Sigh.

Thanks for the diet Coke. Here's best wishes, that your
flame sensor starts working again.

Thank you SM. I failed to mention that the furnace was
converted to LP when
installed. I can understand your reasoning on #2, people in
our society are
always looking for someone else to blame for their mistakes
and
shortcomings. Diet Coke it is!

Incorrect adjustments after the conversion may be causing the flame not
to be properly contacting the sensor. Either orifice size or air
adjustment could be out of whack. Someone with direct experience with
that sensor system needs to check it out.

Also, one delivery of dirty LP can mess you up for a long time!
