Help! Coleman Furnace not working!

I have a Coleman Furnace, about a year and half old (Model # G8T11516UHC11B). The pilot is out and won't come on. The LED indicator light is flashing 4 times. The instructions say that means "High Aux or Spill Limit Switch open". Any ideas?

Very little chance that a newer furnace has a pilot light, so don't worry about that.

How's the filter?

I just put a new one in today. When I was trying to figure out what was wrong, I noticed the old one was ragged so I went out and bought a new one.

How To Tell If Furnace is Correct Size?

M

I'll start by trying to answer the questions the sticky post said you need before you can help: 1. I live in Albuquerque New Mexico. In the winter, temps can be in the teens. in the summer 100+ is not unheard of. 2. House style and construction details. Pueblo Ranch style made of Concrete Stucco (wood frame) with a "flat roof". ~2400 sq. ft. 3. Make, model and age of equipment related to the problem. Rheem RGPH15EARJR - almost 7 years old. 4. Fuel type. Gas - blown air 5. Water temperature and pressures of boiler systems. N/A 6. What type of zoning do you have with your boiler system. N/A 7. Thermostat type. (Huh?) Honeywell programmable? 8. Anything else that would be useful. Floor plan of our home: [URL]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e45/nmpondguy/FloorPlan.jpg[/URL] We had this home built in 2001. The house is basically divided into three sections (see floor plan): The master suite section, the living/dining/kitchen section, and the smaller bedrooms and office section. We have always thought it was cold in the master suite suite (on the west side of the house)during the winter. It is furthest from the furnace and has only one door connecting it to the rest of the house. Just stepping thru the door, there is a noticeable temperature difference. During the day I measured 67 degrees in the master while the living area is at 73 degrees. My theory is that this is the result of a poor floor plan design: Master closed off from the rest of the house and far away from the furnace. But, I'd like to know if my furnace might be undersized. How can I tell if my furnace is sized properly for my square footage? Thanks in advance. PhilRead More

Lennox furnance turns off. Primary Limit switch is open.

My Lenox furnnce turns off by itself. If I reset it, it works for some time (30 min ~ couple of hours) and then goes off. Diagnostic light #1 is flashing while #2 is on. According to schematic diagram this should mean that "Primry/Secondary limit switch is open". Does it mean that the unit is overheating? Any help is greatly appreciated!Read More
