Furnace not igniting (Comfortmaker RPJ II

Hi,
If you can see if the module is getting power when it needs to activate.
If it gets proper power and nothing happens(no sparksO, then module is a
suspect.
Problem is the module like that is often non-returnable once you buy it.
So unless absolutely sure, it's a gamble. But it's known to fail.

Hi,
It could be main control logic board as well.(the part which controls
the ignitor-probably a relay(mechanical or solid state)

It could also be one of the many safeties that is keeping the furnace from
firing.
Sure you don't want to call a tech and get it properly checked and
serviced??

As Steve reminds you, there are many reasons why a furnace would fail
to fire. If you just go replacing parts, it could easily cost more
than having the repair guy out.

You tried thermostat, and that didn't help. The next part(s) you
replace may be both expensive and unnecessary. At this point in time,
best to call the repairman. Before the weather gets colder, and the
rate schedule goes from "fall" to "winter".
