There is something wrong with the igniter circuit
as if it wont ignite the safety system will turn the gas off
perhaps its micro controlled and will need the error also cleared

i think some pilot or as i say thermocouple has failed

Based on the info you have given here, I am going to make some assumptions. In "cleaning out all the components" you cleaned the air filter or changed it, cleaned the duct-work, and the intake combustion chamber? When the "furnace stays lite" the pilot and the main burner stays on? Lastly, when it "continues to blow cold air" is this when the main burner is on after long periods of time? If the answers are all yes, then maybe some of the ducts have come off, or the burners aren't working correctly.

SOURCE: Coleman presidential II furnace blower on and off

Sounds like the flame sensor. But it could be the thermostat. Is the furnace standing pilot or electronic spark or hot surface ignition. I would start by checking thermostat. Turn power off to furnace take thermostat off wall and take wires marked r & w and connect them together. Turn power back on if furnace works then change out thermostat.Most eclectronic ignition Furnaces have a flam sensor, You could take flame sensor out and clean it up with steel wool or wire brush. If you need anymore help just reply back .

SOURCE: Rheem gas furnace blower unit not working properly

look at circuit board and follow wires that come from fan motor, if this is a standard motor black is high and it will be going to a prong that says cool, red is low and it will go to heat, you will have a yellow and a blue that are "parked" remove red park it were the blue is and put blue on heat, if this is a variable speed motor you will have to set dip switches via your equipment manual

Flame sensor needs to be cleaned. turn off the furnace power switch or breaker. pull the flame sensor located in the burner runner section of the furnace. It will be easy to locate because it has 1 wire running to it. pull the screw being very careful not to harm anything else. get the sensor out. inspect it for cleanliness. clean the sensor with light grade sand paper gently. re-install the sensor plug the wire back on. restart your furnace and this should fix the problem.

SOURCE: Nordyne furnace. The furnace comes on, flame

Hello. The first thing you can do is check the flame sensor, this is a small metal rod on the opposite side of the ignitor, Turn off power to the unit remove flame sensor and clean it with some steel wool. Also check the flame sensor to make sure there are no cracks in the base of it, if so then replace the flame sensor. If you have checked the flame sensor and the problem still continues you might have a problem with the unit not being grounded properly, you should have a ground wire coming from the main electrical panel to the furnace. If the ground wire is there and problem continues the control board should be replaced. I hope this helps.

Intertherm furnace burner comes on, but blower does not. If I turn thermostat off then back on until it clicks the fan will then come on. It does not do this all of the time, just now and then.

Furnace burner and heat element are not the same. I think the fan time delay, a sensor that turns the fan on when this sensor senses heat, is shot and needs replacing, for a furnace type heat ( gas heat)

WEATHER KING GAS FURNACE . BLOWER MOTOR COMES ON INSTANTLY ON CALL FOR HEAT AND WONT SPARK IGNITE.

You have a high temp safety open. The control board sends a signal through all safeties first. And if there is a safety open, the board believes the unit is overheating, so it engages the blower to cool it down. The safeties are normally on the blower assembly, near the burners, and near the heat exchanger. Hope this helps!

Need your model # to check the codes but, this coming back on after turning the t-stat off is rare. You may have been in a lockout and the furnace re-started. Some furnaces try to start three times , then lock out. Time out, then re-start. The codes should be on your furnace blower door. Write back with this info and i could help.

Replace the fan limit switch. It is sometimes mounted in the ductwork and sometimes just below the ductwork in the furnace cabinet. Note where the little arrows are pointing to on the temperature scale so you can set the new control to the same as the old. Usually this control is made by Honeywell and may have three wires going to it.

Rheem gas furnace pilot lights, but no burners or fan

If the burners do not fully ignite, the sensor will shut the furnace down. The lack of sufficient burner flame is a gas valve or gas pressure problem within the valve.
Replacing the gas valve with the original one may get you going. I surely suggest a professional service company for safety reasons and a thorough inspection. A 20 year old furnace is past it's normal life span.

Motor run capacitor. If problem is intermittent, try wiggling wires from motor to capacitor to check for broken wires. Motor might seem to work ok with no load on bench but it has no real power. The power to really spin the motor under load comes from the capacitor
