The year it was produced has no relevancy on tyhe dust in your home. You may want to consider having your ducts cleaned and possibly a pull and clean on your blower wheel. Also a good cleaning on the evaporator with routine filter changes will help with dust as well. Best Wishes.

SOURCE: Amana Air Command 80, 20

Hello Bob,
Welcome to fixya,

You said, Amana Air Command 80, 20 years old.
Electronic ignition.
Furnace does not start.
Good power to furnace.
Thermostat properly set.
Where do I start looking?

Sounds like you possibly have one or more bad jets if the unit is a gas furnace!
Let me know how it goes.

WOW, listen to this story!
I understand you are looking for the solution to fix your furnace your self.
But I want to tell you my story about my smart wife and our furnace.
When we moved into this house the furnace was 20 years old and she suggested that we put a new one that it will save us money.
I laughed at her and replied if it's not broken why fix it!
Six years later it finally broke down and I replaced the whole furnace and central air unit with a new one.
Our utility bill went down $100 dollars a month!
That's $7200. that I lost over 6 years due to not respecting my wife's power of reasoning!
If you can afford it or can get financing replace any unit 20 years old and it will pay for it self.
Can you imaging $1200. a year for 20 years is $24,000 dollars I'm saving with a new and efficient unit.
Do the math!!!!!!!!!

Thank You,
Huuum, Hope I gave you some good fatherly advice.

Thank you for posting your question here on Fixya.com.

What is the problem you are having that makes you think it is the pump? The pump has nothing to do with furnace operation; it is there to remove condensate and humidification water from the furnace to a drain or sink. If the furnace is tied to the pumps secondary float to allow the pump to shut off the furnace due to high water, disconnect the switch and wire nut the two wires from the furnace together.

If you want to fix the pump, a few common problems center on lint and dust buildup in the reservoir and/or tubing. You can use compressed air to blow out the discharge line. Be careful to keep the end in a safe direction...you would be surprised who much slimy crud builds up in the tubes. You can take the top off the reservoir and clean inside it. On the coldest days, check to be sure the water is not somehow freezing within the discharge, which would only seem possible if for some reason the tubing leads outdoors.

If this answer does not fix your problem, please comment with additional details prior to rating the answer. Positive feedback is appreciated once your problem is solved!

SOURCE: Amana Air Command 80 SSE gas furnace will not stay running

In the path of the flame on the last burner that starts, there will be a small rod. That rod is the flame sensor. Take a scrub pad and polish it. Also check the electrical connection that goes back to the circuit board. Disconnect any ground wire from the circuit board to furnace cabinet, sand it and replace it.

Furnace has water under it, why? Its a Dayton gas furnace.

There are several questions that need to be answered about what type of system you have, but i found this posting that may help:
As your gas furnace runs, is there water leaking at the base? Is the furnace's air filter wet, too?There are a few things that could be happening here. But if you have a high-efficiency furnace, here's the most common cause: a condensation leak.
We'll explain why a furnace creates condensation, and what's causing it to leak out of your furnace.
Note: You'll know if you have a high-efficiency furnace if:
  • The yellow energy guide tag says your furnace's efficiency is 90% or higher AFUE.
  • The vent/flue pipe is white PVC as opposed to metal.
Why a high-efficiency furnace creates condensation
How in the heck does a high efficiency furnace create condensation/water anyway?
It's all about how the furnace extracts heat from combustion gases.
A lower-efficiency furnace extracts some heat from combustion gases and then quickly vents them out the flue pipe.
But a high-efficiency furnace, to extract more heat, has 2 heat exchangers. These allow the furnace to extract heat from the gases for a longer period of time. This causes the combustion gases to cool and then condense.
That condensation then exits out your home through a drain. But if that water is pooling around the furnace, there's a problem preventing it from draining properly.
Causes of a condensation leak around a high-efficiency furnace
  • Clogged condensation tubing
  • Clogged condensation drain
  • Breaks in the condensation line
  • Issues with the condensate pump (if you have one)
You'll need a furnace technician to diagnose which of these is the issue and then fix it.
Other causes of leaking water around a furnace
If you have a conventional, standard-efficiency furnace...then its flue pipe may be incorrectly sized.
If you have a whole-house humidifier connected to the furnace...there may be an issue which is causing the humidifier to leak into your furnace. Your humidifier should be getting annual maintenance from a professional to prevent this.

Why is my furnace filter dirty after 3 days

depends on what you are calling dirty which is relative to each person
Are they so dirty they are clogged or do they just have dust on them
IF they are just dusty then that is normal and it is being pulled from inside the house
If you have a pet door that will cause a lot of dust
The only other way is if there is a hole in the attic or your return air somewhere

Can I vent my ultra v tech 80 propane gas furnance with pvc so I can do away with chimney

Generally, the furnace must be at least 90+ efficiency to be able to use PVC pipe. In addition, high efficiency gas furnaces require a condensation pump, to pump excess moisture out of the furnace. If yours has always been venting up a vent pipe, then NO, you can't use PVC pipe.

Hope this helps you.

I have 2goodmanGKS9 gas furnaces(propane) installed on 27 Dec 2009. Both units are working. One is in the basement adjacent to the rear outside wall. Lower unit heats about 1200 square feet. Lower...

well lets start with the 2" pvc pipe. that is a combustion air intake it does not put air into the room, i hope. this is a 90% furnace and they should have installed it that way. there should be 2 pipes to the outside the other is combustion gases. the dust problem maybe caused by the air return pulling the air to that room. the bedroom normaly does not get the trafic that the rest of the condo does.so it would not have as much dust.

What is the CO2 % of an 80% efficiency gas furnace and the CO2 % of a 90% gas furnace

Hello,You get between 10%-12% out of each.The efficiency rating difference is the flue gas(exaust) temperature! 90% furnace is much lower temp than any 80%.

Hi, I have a Carrier Weathermaster XS. I don't

If I am correct, that is a gas furnace, right? I believe it may be between 15 and 20 years. Pro-active with and older gas furnace is never a bad thing. First of all it can become a safety issue, as concerns of heat exchangers cracking and leaking carbon monoxide into the home become increasing. Second, it sure only be 80% efficient, whereas a new condensing furnace today can be up to 95% efficient. That means that you currently only use 80% of the gas you are burning as actual heat transferred into the house via airflow, and the other 20% is literally leaving the house through the flue. So you can increase efficiency dramatically and be safe at the same time by replacing pro-actively
