alright, so i'm sitting here and my furnace has been running nonstop for like three hours. I'm thinking....man, it should be shutting off soon.

Yes, it's cold as balls out but still.... So I feel the air coming from the registers and it's cooooold. WTF?

go check it out. The damn ignitor isn't firing. Now this furnace is less than 7 yrs old and a lennox so not a cheapo. I installed it myself. Insulated and sealed all duct Damn fine piece of equipment if I don't say so myself...which I do ;)

anywhoo, i'm thinking.... this ignitor shouldn't be bad yet, and it doesn't look burnt, why isn't it firing?

get out the multimeter, yep, got power to it hmmmm. start tracing the wire into the ignitor and it was pinched between a rubber gromet and the firebox, the plug also had a loose wire in it. Both factory flaws, not installer error. SO I cut the wire and wire nut that bitch and .....voila!

LET THERE BE HEAT!!!

just wondering what else can happen here in the winter blast of '14?

Even though the resistance reads good the igniters still need to be cleaned now and then.
Glad you found the pinched wires though.

My new 94% effy gas furnace (goodmon) has been running every 45 mins or so tonight.
Nasty out there!

-25ºF again today, and that's without windchill. School's been out the last 2 days. Hurts to breathe outside.

I sent 2 e mails to my attorney's office over the weekend. There response was they have done all they can and they gave me the phone # for the QDRO administrator. I called and they told me my attorney didn't send my address birth date or my SS#. So they didn't do everything they were paid to do. When I e mailed my attorney and ask them to take care of this they ask me to do it my self. I did but I won't use this attorney again. I will also make a complaint to the head of the ferm.

When they charge $15 for a copy (per page) I'd think you you could charge them at least $300 for having to fill it out yourself.

I'd forward a copy of the reply you get from the head of the firm to the State Attorney.

Yes, write a formal complaint about what you expect them to do and send it to them certified return receipt. Give them 2 weeks from receipt to rectify state this in the letter. At the end of that time take them to small claims for a portion of what you paid. Then file a complaint with the Bar. ;)

That will fix their little red wagon.
