Just had this furnace installed and the furnace would only stay running with the cover off on one side. I did have to move a wall so I though maybe the issue was over heating. The wall is now moved but the same issue occurs. If I put the cover on the furnace shuts down after about a minute of running and I have to hit the reset button to start it up. This is the Williams double sided gravity wall furnace. Flame is blue when the furnace is running.

SOURCE: Pilot adjustment on Williams wall heater

The insert sounds like the cap covering the adjustment screw. Pin hole is for cap removal. Wondering why flame is so high?! Shouldn't have orange flame. If heater doesn't light with lower flame... thermocouple (thing that the flame heats up) may be bad.

SOURCE: FURNACE COMES ON AND SHUTS DOWN WITHIN 15 SECONDS

On a call for heat, the 24 volt thermostat sends a signal to the control module. The control module will indicate a call for heat with a light on the control either blinking or remain solid depending upon model. The inducer (exhaust) blower will purge all gasses from the furnace and pressurize a pressure switch. Once the pressure switch tells the module to continue, the electronic ignition will energize and send 120 volts to the igniter. The igniter will glow and you will be able to see it if viewed thru the small inspection port. Once the igniter gets hot enough, it sends a signal to the module opening up the gas valve (24 volts). Either a pilot will come on or the burner tube will ignite then spread the flame to all burners. Lastly a safety sensor will be looking for a certain temperature within a few seconds and the furnace will continue to operate and the room air blower will turn on in a minute or two.

What could go wrong? The unit will not run if there is no signal from the thermostat (bad thermostat or broken wire), the control module does not sense a signal from the thermostat (bad control), the inducer does not energize (bad motor), the pressure switch does not close (blocked vent piping, bad switch, plugged condensate hose), the igniter does not energize (bad control, bad igniter), the gas valve does not open or there is no gas (bad gas valve, broken wire, no gas), the pilot does not light (dirty pilot), the burner does not light (bad burner, plugged orifice, not enough combustion air), the flame does not spread to each burner (bad flame spreader, dirty flame spreader, more bad burners), the flame safety sensor does not detect flame (dirty or bad flame spreader, bad flame sensor, broken wire, bad control), or the room air blower does not energize (bad fan motor, bad control). When all else fails, check the ground connection for corrosion.

My furnace runs and blows heat until the desired temperature is reached, but then it will stay off until the house cools another 15-20 degrees before kicking back on. What to do?

first , make sure thermostat is level on the wall. If o.k. try adjusting the anticipator at the thermostat. remove cover and you should see same as in picture. Move arm away from longer slightly, and try it a few times, each time before going more. If that doesn't help, it may be time for a new thermostat.motor1258_9.jpg

RVP 8000 A/C just experienced slight power surge. Compressor on.

I'm leaning toward sticky relay as well, but if you want to confirm it's not thermostat, remove thermostat from wall, and temporarily disconnect the yellow wire from thermostat (compressor) when/if, it happens again. If compressor stays running, I'd say relay for sure.
Just for future reference , Gray wire from thermostat is low fan, green wire is high fan, yellow is compressor, blue is ground. ( For cooling side) The red is 12 v + to furnace and white is negative to furnace.(heat side)

The fan runs all the time.

Disconnect your thermostat from the wall. If the fan shuts off then you probably have a bad or miswired thermostat.
If it continues to run, disconnect the thermostat wires from the furnace. If this shuts the fan off then you have a problem with the thermostat wires.
If the fan continues to run with the thermostat wires off of the furnace,
then you have a problem with the furnace.
Even though the fan stays on...... does the furnace still work? If so I bet you have a bad or stuck blower relay. If the furnace does not function other than the blower than you most likely have a safety control that is open. Worst case you could have a bad circuit board.
Good luck.....

Dayton 3e735 standing wall furnace

Wall furnace? maybe and maybe not! if there is a way it would be on the gas valve and be labeled (though it might be hard to read). often the adjustment screw is under another screw but always labeled.

Unable To Keep Pilot Light Lit!

I have a Williams top vent gravity wall furnace (model 5009622) and I had the same problem. I had to take the cover off the furnace -- screw on top and two at the bottom (open the access door and there is one screw on each side) to get to the reset button for the vent safety shutoff system. On my furnace it's on the left side toward the top of the unit. I pressed the little red reset button and it's been working ever since. If your furnace is properly installed and doesn't have bird's nest in the chimney, it should work fine. Good luck!
