SOURCE: My Dometic 620315 Penguin roof a/c does not produce cold air.

If the compressor is running with no cold air the unit is more than likely no good. It can not be recharged. you need a new unit. If the compressor is not running you need to check the capacitors.

SOURCE: carrier air-v AC is not blowing cold air

There could be a freon leak, or just low freon levels. If this is the case, you have to call a certified a/c technician to recharge your system.

SOURCE: I have a DuoTherm BriskAIr 13.5K BTU. The Dometic

If you look at control box at roof unit, they usually use a separate set of wires for furnace. See what colors they are attached to at harness to thermostat. Some just follow other harness, and come out at thermostat. (bypass control box) Once you've determined which 2 they are, join them together & see if furnace starts, as it should. If it does, thermostat is faulty. If not, pull outside cover off & check voltages at furnace. I'm guessing by furnace model that your unit is approx 30 ft , but if it's a park model, you may have 24 volt system on furnace or 12 volt. Another way of confirming is to go to back of furnace where air intake grille is inside your unit, and locate 2 blue wires going to furnace & remove whatever wires are attached to them & connect them together. Furnace should start up.

Furnace wil, not ignite when calling for heat

For this answer, we need a model and serial number.
Generally, be sure the power is on, does the heat moving device run? (Fan for air, or pumps for water)

Gas does not ignite on furnace. Fan stays on even when shut off at thermostat. When trying to start, I hear a click and get a gas odor that stops quickly. Furnace had major overhaul 10 years ago.

You have a ignitor problem .Replace the ignitor .Is it a direct spark or a glow type .My guess it's a glow type .About the fan issue sometimes fan would stay running for maybe a minute even after you turn the fan mode ofg

How do I light pilot light?

There should not be a pilot on a direct vent furnace. When you turn up the thermostat for heat the 1st thing to happen is a venter motor should start, it should vent for approximately 45 seconds, the air switch will verify a vacuum in the burner box, then a spark igniter should start clicking to start the pilot, then the flame rod will verify the pilot, the igniter will stop clicking, and the main burner will ignite and remain on until the thermostat has satisfied the set point. These guideline steps must be satisfied before the controller advances to the next step. The 1st step is the venter motor running, sometimes the motor will stick over the summer months, spin it manually to unstick it. PS, nothing runs if the fan door cover is open, as that shuts down the power to the whole furnace.

My furnace works on ac and blows on ac but on heat it does not blow but i hear a humming sound coming from the furnace

Most furnace operating on Oil or gas will heat the combustion chamber before starting fan to prevent cold air draft at start-up, can last a minute or two. Eiter the main flame does not come on or the chamber thermostat have fail. Try to modify fan option on room thermostat from auto to on. Cold air coming out: burner problem or no more oil or gas, warm air: burning chamber thermostat problem, leave room thermostat fan option to on until repair.

I have a Ruud UAKA-037JAZ central heat and air unit (Silhouette 11 gas furnace). When I turn the thermostat to heat the heat does not come on. I removed the front panel and there are 2 green lights lit up...

Need furnace model number. It sounds like you're looking for a standing pilot. Your furnace might not have one. Very likely to have a spark ignition type system or hot surface igniter.

Honeywell thermostat TH6110D1021. Blower comes on

Hi, You are right, fan is on a time delay in the heating cycle, and after burners fire that is when this delay comes into play. You have a preset factory temperature that determines the cycle on time for the fan, and the off time after the burners shut down also. This will not be in the thermostat, but in the fan/limit control the is mounted on the face of the furnace, with a probe inserted into the fire box.Depending on how old or new this unit is, will depend on the type control you have.It may be just a high limit switch, or the 1st I mentioned.If so, It rotates in the burner as the temperature rises, to turn the fan on and off.Disconnect power, remove cover, and 2 screws.Slowly remove the control and gently clean the probe. Turn the dial if this one has it and you will be able to hear it click. This click is contacts closing to start fan operation.Reinsert and try again. If problem continues, you will have to replace it.They do tend to stick closed/on, in the heat cycle from time to time and a cleaning sometimes will solve this problem. Not knowing how old this furnace is and type, make it difficult to give you a correct diagnosis, so check this fan control as I have explained, and if your system is of a different type, please let me no so I can correct this problem. Sincerely,

Gas Furnace is not heating anymore.

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

Sometimes the furnace doesn't come on when it should

OK so its an all electric furnace no gas? I cant think of anything clicking on an electric furnace except the sequencers or the safety switches.

If this is whats your hearing then the fan should definitely be running.

Feel carefully around the fan motor (I assume this is in a mobile home). See if you detect any heat coming around the blower area close to the fan motor. If so the fan motor may be at fault or one sequencer may be out (the main one of course...) the thing is can you get the fan to come on by turning the auto switch on the thermostat (or if older model the Auto On switch on the furnace) to ON? If so you can "limp by and have heat til someone either checks it or you can go on deeper into it. but to go deeper you'll have to let me know you know where the elements are and that you have a volt meter. and feel comfortable using it especially on HOT wires.

Looks like my humidistat calls for coil fan and for furnace heat

It sounds like the humidifier may be improperly wired.
It's hard to solve without checking the wiring, but it seems like the humidistat is wired so that as the dial is advanced, it incorrectly turns on the fan, or furnace, or both.  The contacts of the humidistat should be wired so that they turn on the solenoid only.  Also, the power to the humidistat, to turn on the solenoid, should come on only when the fan is on.
Hope this helps!

Rheem Furnace sometimes takes a couple of ignition cycles before

Try cleaning the flame sensor. It is located right besides the last burner. Looks like a thick piece of wire. Take steel wool and gently remove the carbon that has built up. Should only take 4 or 5 strokes. Let me know how it goes after that. ken
