Hi Group,
I'm hoping that someone will have some idea of what is most likely
causing radio interference every time my Bryant hi-ef gas furnace
lights up. When I first noticed it about a month ago the pronounced
static would last for about 5 seconds. Now it's more like 30 seconds.
I replaced the ignitor, and that wasn't it. The big capacitor is my
next guess. Any thoughts from you experts will be greatly appreciated.

Replace the big capacitor. Then replace the thermostat. The diodes
have probably gone bad. Make sure to run new low voltage wiring to
sync up with the new stat.

Thank you, Bubba, for your advice. I really appreciate your insight.

Do you think it would be okay if I replace just hte big capacitor to
start with? Or is replacing the stat a manadatory part of the fix?

Sincerely, BlackHawk

In case you didn't get it, he's mocking you. Telling someone to "replace
the thermostat" or "install new low voltage wiring" passes for humor among
a portion of the hvac elite. It's like asking the new guy to go get the
wire stretcher or the left handed screwdriver.

Some of these guys take it personally that you are going anywhere near your
furnace without paying dues to the hvac priesthood. Whaddya gonna do?
It's Usenet.

Sounds like the choke coil has failed.
