hopefully someone can help
led light is constantly blinking...
everything appears to be operationg normally.. but sometimes the igniter will not ignite the gas.
temp outside is like -35 c I can get it to work by reseting the furnace(so were not dead from exposure) .which usally takes 3 or 4 times before it catches..
this is what happens..fan kicks on..igniter glows (for about 4sec) gas starts to hiss igniter goes out burners aren't lit and the fan keeps running blowing cold air
filter is clean

as I scatch my head????

ok what could be telling the furnace not to shut down the main blower after thermo has stopped calling for heat..? this is the problem as the blower will continue to go and furnace won't restart unless I cut the power???
what sensors tell it the cumbustion chamber is still hot?
thanks
