Describe what is wrong:
NO HEAT - Is the electric power "on" to the unit?
- Is the thermostat on 'heat' cycle and turned above room temperature?
- Is the pilot lit and a bright blue color?
- Is the gas valve turned to "on" position?
NOISY - A loud 'clicking' and 'clinking' can often be heard as the heat chamber expands.
- A loose belt or ticking of the squirrel cage fan are also common sounds.
- A very distinct blow torch sound indicates combustion taking place in the venturi.
- These can usually be corrected by a qualified serviceman.
ODOR - The first heating cycle of the season will produce the smell of dust and lint.
- If odor is accompanied with irritation of the eyes, headache, or nausea; the exhaust vent may be disconnected or plugged. A serviceman must be dispatched.
- A carbon monoxide test should be made.
- A cracked heat exchanger is a possible source of odor and CO.
