As stated, my heat isn't coming on.

When this started: Everything has been all fine and dandy all winter. The other day I ran the fan only for a few hours without the heat. After this, my heat would no longer turn on.

I figured maybe my pilot light had gone out, so I went and checked. Turns out I have an electric pilot light.

I've done some troubleshooting already.

-10A round fuse on the side of the heater is good. Replaced it with new just to check that off. -Breaker was not flipped. Cut power and reengaged power just to check that off. -Thermostat can engage the furnace fan by setting it to "Fan On". Setting the heat causes it to call for heat (click noise). Heat does not come on. -Gas dial on inside of furnace is set to "on". I turned it to off and cut power, then reengaged everything before trying to call for heat from the thermostat just to check it off.

What am I missing here? Could something have failed while I was running the fan?

I have a Trane model BLU068L942A1. Probably from the 80's.

    Is the electronic ignition the type that sparks? If so does it go click and lights the pilot and then stops clicking? Or is it continuously clicking? – Joe Fala Mar 9 at 3:21
  • It is never clicking. When the thermostat is set to heat, nothing happens on the heater side. – Intense Par Mar 9 at 3:28
  • Try to jumper the R and W at the furnace. – Joe Fala Mar 9 at 3:32
  • I'm think it's the ignition module but we gotta rule out some things. – Joe Fala Mar 9 at 3:33
  • Thanks Joe. I'll get on that tomorrow. – Intense Par Mar 10 at 11:15

Check to make sure that when you switched the fan switch to the on position and back off that you didn't accidentally move the system switch from heat to cool.
