Hi, all. I have an older (20 years?) Johnson furnace, and the blower will not turn on, regardless of how the thermostat controls are set-- "On," "Auto," "Heat," "Cool," or any combination thereof. I've checked the breaker and main power control switch. Both were on, and I switched them off and on again. There's a repair ticket on the furnace stating that the fan motor was replaced in 1994. Beyond that, I'm clueless. Any ideas? Many thanks!

Hello, I moved into my leased house a few months ago and its finally gotten cold enough in Mississippi to warrant some heat. All of the house except the bathrooms is on a central forced air natural gas furnace. The bathrooms have in-wall gas heaters, according the labels I found inside of them they are Peerless model number 7602, serial numbers 555 and 574. I cleaned up the burner with some WD-40 (the cast iron was rusted pretty bad), waited for it dry, then lit her up. In minutes the bathroom was really toasty. I have three questions about these old units: 1. Is there a pilot light? There's an adjuster on the atomizer (for the lack of better description) between the valve and burner, I assume it is for the air mixture or a pilot light. 2. There is some yellow flame that shoots up from the burner every few seconds, is this due to something being dirty or is the mixture incorrect? 3. Will these things burn the house down? I know the previous tenants and they apparently used them regularly for three winters with no problems, and they are very common in this neighborhood and I haven't heard of any house fires. Thanks! This is a great forum, glad to see that there is a good place to go for DIY advice. Cheers, Kevin
