We have a gas furnace that is less than 8 years old (Payne Model PG8UAA). Last night it stopped blowing heat. When you move the theromstat past the actual temperature, it will not blow out through the vents. While standing by the furnace, it actually comes on, but doesn't blow out through the vents. I can hear it clicking like it's trying to fire up, but nothing happens. If I turn on the fan at the thermostat, it blows out cool air. The furnace next to it for downstairs, does the click noise and then you see fire ignite and the heat comes out. The one that does not work is blowing, but when it clicks it doesn't ignite and you don't see any fire.
The fan you hear come on at a call for heat is most likely just the inducer motor. the click you hear is probably the relay for the hot surface ignitor which should glow red, then in turn ignite the main burners. your going to have to determine if the ignitor is coming on. if it isnt the ignitor is bad and will need to be replaced. if it comes on and than shuts off after a few seconds the ifc board is probably at fault
