Re: Rheem HVAC start up problem

said by Stan3 :

I have a friend that has a rheem furnace but the electric pilot does not come on , but the fan runs what could be the problem.
Depending on the age of the furnace, the pilot assembly may need cleaning. (should be done yearly by a service man) You can try to get in there with something thin and sharp, to clean the spark and sense rods. This would only be temporary. Make sure you turn the furnace OFF first.

If you dont have a pilot assembly, your furnace may have a bad hot surface ignitor. Usually these last 5-7yrs, depending on humidity and cycles. Again, time to call the service man.
