Woke up froz cold.

Be like whaaaa...gon'rong.

Chk furnace, it be blown' cold air.

4 blinking lights, " thermal limiter open "

ffffffffffffffffff................../ maximum h8 mode activate.


Checked thermal limiter switch, indeed, it won't reset.  Bridged the leads, blue flame fires.

Sigh...


Now must wait 2 days in suprcol  for switch.   IF Tp run the furnace without the limiter, assssuming it's just the switch that's broken,  Tp should probably no die. but welllll it is a gas appliance

THOUGHTS ?   Should Tp just run it w/ safety off ? Is that even legal ?

Anyone else I'd suggest putting on a coat as it can't be colder in than out but do you even own one?

If you blow up from a gas explosion, your post count will be surpassed at some point.  This cannot happen.  Call to get on a list for repair.  Make a tent and keep warm.  Remember, no cotton for sleeping.  Don't wanna sweat and lose precious heat.

Here's the p00r person engineering thought..

Tp dun' think the sensor tripped.. it MAY just be corrosion..  perhaps Recent xcapadz into Humidifying has accelerated oxidation on an already old-sensor.. no ?  imagining it ?  it sounded reasonable when Tp thunk it....

Xplodz ?

The radon outside air inlet is right next to the furnace, so it's getting a mix of cold wintry air + the normal air of the house,   Can't really see that it'd overheat in the winter.   The intake filter was changed only in late Jan, flow rate should be gud.

Imagine if off-topic posts counted toward the total !
