, posted Mon 14 Apr 12:33  
Could anyone give some thoughts on my furnace trouble before I call for a professional.
My furnace is not keeping the flame. After it ignited, with in five second the flame will go out and it will ignite again, but cannot hold the flame. What are the issues that could relate to this problem? Does anyone think it could be easy to fix without needing to call a professional?
Thanks to all for any input
