Our home is 5 years old and has a Trane YCC036FIMOBF package gas/electric unit. Yesterday morning we woke up to no heat. I know a little about furnaces and air conditioning and can usually solve my own problems. However, I've never owned a package unit before. There seems to be no support available from Trane in the form of schematics, parts diagrams, etc.

The exhaust blower for the gas burner was running. I took two side covers off and the LED on the PCB indicated that the thermostat was calling for heat.

Two wires on the gas valve are connected to a device mounted on the inside vertical panel that I'm assuming is either an ignitor or a heat sensor. Anyhow i removed the 2 screws and shook the device without removing it.

When I turned the power back on, the burner lit & has been working properly since then. I guess I got lucky, but I'd like to have some understanding and documentation of this unit. Also, I'd appreciate advice as to what I should do to assure this unit won't fail to heat again.

I have identical symptom with YCC024 model just over 10 years old. It takes several taps with a mallet while cycling the heat on/off to get the burner to light. I usually smell gas just prior to the burner lighting. I am tapping on the external covers in the area of the burner and relays. Problem only happens if thermostat has not called for heat in 36-48 hours.

I need to look at my PCB and the wires going to the gas valve.
Would sure appreciate knowing resolution of your problem!

I am having the same issue on a 1999 YCC036F. It has happened the past two years at the start of the season and was fixed with some cleaning of terminals. That did not work this time. Any suggestions? The led lights three times slowly.

Thanks
