American Standard Furnace 6 red flashes Code
I burnt out the ignitor and just replaced it. After turning the furnace on, the inducer motor kicked in but then shut off and the vent motor kicked in blowing cold air only. The ignitor won't glow. The furnace indicator LED shows 6 flashes.
Any help on troubleshooting this issue is much appreciated. Thanks.

Look for the codes on the inside of the door on the blower section. Lets us know what code 6 is.

Most likely a bad control board. What's the model number of the furnace?

I believe CNT05165 is the control board number. A little more detail, so I was cleaning the flame rod and readjusting the ignitor. I put the ignitor back on but did not line it up correctly so heat was produced and the ignitor shattered. It's now replaced, but now I have this 6 red flashes code. I wonder if the blown out ignitor did some electrical damage to the system or board.

so heat was produced and the ignitor shattered.
If yes..... more than likely the control board is damaged.
You could look at the back of it and probably see a burned spot.

So i replaced the circuit board and furnace is working. Lesson leant, make sure when you replace your ignitor do not let it contact anything otherwise it will burn your circuit board. Thanks for the help everyone.
[b]Help with Miller propane furnace please![/b]
Hi, thanks in advance for any help you can offer.....I also posted this in a different forum on here so apologize for duplicating but I think this forum is probably better suited to help me!
I live in a manufactured home and have a Miller propane furnace. For the first time this season, I tried to turn the heat on and.....NOTHING !
The heating system is about 8 years old so don't think it has failed because of age. However, over the summer I had a lightening strike nearby my home (not a direct hit) that blew out one of my GFI outlets and subsequently other outlets on the same circuit. The furnace is on the same side of the house that was affected and near the other outlets that were affected...Once I replaced the GFI circuit, all was well......
Since I haven't used my heat since then I have no way of knowing if the nearby strike affected my heating system. I have central a/c and that worked fine after the strike.
May have nothing to do with the lightening but I am wondering....maybe I need to reset something! When I turn the stat on it calls for heat but the blower won't even kick in. I have checked the circuit breaker and I have full tanks of propane.
Any ideas? Is there a reset somewhere I could try and if so where is it usually found?
