The pilot I have no problems with it fires up fine and burns clean looking I've jumped the two thermostat wires and the furnace doesn't fire up so I'm assuming a thermopile problem or gas valve. After all it IS 50 years old! There are two of these units still in the house, one we used constantly when I was a child, and the other hardly ever got lit up unless temps hit the teens. I'm tempted to pull the thermopile from the other unit and see if that's the issue. If not I'll have to assume the gas valve. | |
