No Heat/Clicking Noise/No Pilot light

I woke up this morning with no heat. Only air blowing out of the ac unit. The pilot light is not lit and i can hear a clicking like noise coming from the unit, as if it's trying to do something. Help!

Clicking noise

Noises are hard to troubleshoot but what you may be hearing is a spark ignition system trying to light the pilot.

Grady, Thanks for your response.

If it's my spark ignition system, what's my next step or how can i verify if this is the problem?

Remove & clean the pilot burner including the orifice.

Gas Furnance Won't Come On

K

kennesaw on Nov 06, 2006

Hi all, This is a great forum thanks to you guys I've fixed my air last summer now my gas heater won't come on . Have tested the blower and it comes on when I turn on the air or when I turn it on manually. But when I turn on the heat... nothing. Should I start with replacing the capacitor in the unit or is there some sort of fuse in the transmission box I could replace. Have cleaned all gas nozzels with small wire. They were blowing fine last March. Appreciate any advice. Thanks

moving gas furnace exhaust vent

N

natoinex on Nov 08, 2006

I have a 6+ year old Goodman GMP075-3 furnace in my unfinished basement which has an exhaust vent going through the chimney. I'd like to move the exhaust somewhere else (through the sidewall) which would make it a horizontal exhaust. Is this a good idea? Someone suggested I'd need to attach a fan to the exhaust. Thank you.
