I'm ALL for "do it yourself", but only FOOLS "practice" gas appliance repair via the 'net!

SORRY, but I had to say it... the life you save may be your own!

Well since I am about 1200 miles from the heater right now it does not seem I will be doing any work on the unit myself.
My mother sure ain't going to fix it.

My mom only asked if I had a idea of what it may be so she could be prepaired to know the cost effective outcome. Have you ever been a 75 year old woman and tried to deal with backstabing home repair people????? I think not!!!

The one thing my mom did teach me was.....
If you do not have something construtive to add to the conversation you just pass it by.

SORRY, but I had to say it...

John, The blower should not affect the pilot.The combustion chamber is seperate from the blower ,unless you have a cracked heat exchanger.Could be a bad gas valve.Check all the electrical connection and see if they are tight.Are you sure it doesn't have electronic ignition.?

John, another thought.Have her check to see if the "Red" knob on the gas control valve is in the proper position.Sometimes if they are not in the right position they will act up.After lighting the pilot make suer she turns it to the "on" position.

John,

1.) I know EXACTLY you mean about the elderly Mom thing. My Mom passed away only a few years ago, in her mid-80's, and I was an only child, so I dealt with EVERYTHING she needed, and the crap that folks try to pull on the elderly.

2.) I have workedin the gas furnace repair field, and have had quite a bit of training, and have seen and heard of what can happen when well-meaning (but untrained) folks try to repair these things themselves.

3.) You are yapping that YOU are NOT going to fix it, only want something to tell her, but in the same post state you HAVE been working on it!

4.) If you care about your Mom, and don't care to listen to MY advice, at least listen to Goose and LilFarmer... they are telling it like it is!

MERRY CHRISTMAS to you, John!
