Woke up and furnace not working
Woke up this morning and the furnace was not working anymore. It turned on for a few minutes early in the morning ran for a few minutes (maybe 5) and then turned off. When I turn power off to the furnace and it turn it back on the fans all go and I get a red glow on the ignitor but it doesn't ignite and it turns off after a few minutes. I have taken the flame sensor out and cleaned it. I have also tried bypassing the pressure switch as recommended on another forum. For bypassing the pressure switch I turned off the power to the furnace, disconnected the two wires to the pressure switch. Turn it back on and then connect those two wires together. When I do that the fans are running but I no longer get a red glow on the ignitor.

If the igniter glows..... the pressure switch and circuit is ok.
Look to see if there is a sight glass in the door with a blinking fault code.
A model number would be helpful. It can be found inside on the side wall near the burner.

Ok..... the igniter will preheat for approx 30 seconds. There will only be 24vAC to the valve at the end of the preheat. If the burner doesn't light..... the igniter will turn off and the system will attempt a restart up to three times before locking out for usually one hour. So that means there will only be 24v on the valve for approx 7 seconds unless the flame is established.

Yeah, I tested through the prehead stayed connected until the end of the preheat. Went through the cycle 3 times just to make sure that I wasn't missing it.
