Could someone help me identify where the pilot ignition switch is on a Keeprite furnace? The furnace won't turn on from the thermostat so I suspect the pilot is out. The inside panel of the furnace states that it is not a standing pilot, but an electronic ignition switch, however it does not say where it is.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

When you say the furnace doesn't turn on, do you mean nothing happens? The inducer fan is the first thing to start up. If it's not running and has power, it's motor will get warm. If it stays cold then you may not have power to the furnace or a signal from the thermostat. If you have a signal from the thermostat but no inducer fan, you need a technician.

With intermittent electronic spark ignition the pilot is only lit when there is a call for heat. If it is not lighting there could be numerous things not allowing the spark ignition.
If it ain't broke don't fix it!

If the inducer draft motor comes on (Thats your exhaust motor), you may have a bad ignitor, open limit or bad control board. The blower usually stays on in the event of an open safety.
If nothing at all happens, you may have tripped a breaker or blown a fuse.
Is your thermostat digital, if so batteries may be keeping your display. If not check for fuses or breakers. Does the a/c come on. This can go on and on without more information.
Hope this helps
