My furnace isnt running right now. It is a gas furnace . The name on the front pannel says Duo-therm.?
QUESTION:I live in a small mobile home not sure how old my home is but I would say probably around the late 50's or early 60's. I am having the gas company come out to fix it but not until the first. I joined something with them called an appliance plan where they can come out and fix your furnace free of charge sort of because you pay 10 dollars a month on your bill which isnt bad considering how much repairmen can cost. Meanwhile a neighbor tested the electricity with a tester and found no current in my thermostat so he guesses that may be the problem. When I turn the dial on the thermostat their is no click nothing. I dont have circuit breaker on the wall, only the screw in fuses and they all seem to be okay. I already tried plugging and unplugging my furnace from the wall but it made no difference. All other appliances on that same wall seem to be working. Could you give me some insight as to what the problem could be
ANSWER: Look inside the furnace and see if the pilot light is lit if you haven't already. If it is lit and won't stay lit then you have a bad themocouple and that part can be obtained at a hardware store. If the thermostat is non functional the is is probably the 24 volt transformer located in the furnace unit providing the unit has electricity going to it. Good luck and hope this helps.
