    I remember when my grandma had one of those furnaces when the main blower kicked on it vibrated the entire kitchen and living room

    We had one just like this in our attic a rare horizontal all tan one from 1992 but it was replaced in 2019 bad heat exchanger unfortunately but we got a new Amana furnace

      Nice, I replaced my trane XE80 from 2000 that had 2 missing heat exchanger rings with a Goodman M9S80 back in november. I have videos of it

    One of my favourite sounds the Draft Inducer on the RUUD furnace.

    We have a Trane xe80 that is way quicker for startup. I live that furnace as much as this one, this one is a little too slow for startup but is good. I’m at my grandparents and they have one, but it makes a squealing sound after the flame shuts off. The flame comes on the second the enducer motor finishes starting up in the ruud out grandparents have

    This is got to be one of My Favorite Furnaces

    • @StuffStudier
      @StuffStudier Před rokem

      My favorite is Trane XE80. The enducer startup is awesome sounding with a nice flame cycle and quiet sound. It is very reliable we have had little problems on on it. This is my 2nd favorite furnace for sure

    Ours is in our attic but I can still kinda hear it through the vents from my bedroom.
    I can even hear the blue flames when they light up. Creepy sound huh.

    I remember having this kind of furnace at our old house when I was a child, and the noise caused by the inducer motor and how it ascends in volume as it activates scared me. It was so unusual that I would be scared over that noise as a child.

  • @BroadwayLTDProductions
    @BroadwayLTDProductions  Před 11 lety +2

    It should be on the opposite end of the row of burners from the igniter. Just look for a small rod that doesn't glow orange before ignition and that is the flame sensor.

  • @sschoeppey
    @sschoeppey Před 15 lety +4

    Why can't any of the furnace companies make a draft induction motor that is not as loud as a jet taking off? Don't they realize that many of these are in people's homes and not in an attic or garage?

    • @La01781
      @La01781 Před 3 lety

      the small form factor of it makes it impossible since the blower wheel needs cooling too

  • @BroadwayLTDProductions
    @BroadwayLTDProductions  Před 12 lety

    @billybassman21 It's a little stick that is found on the opposite end of the row of burners as the ignitor.

    I think Rheem/Ruud and the Century/Comfortaire they manufacture for Heat Controller, are as good as anything going. They're about as good as Trane, but more affordable.

    I replaced about everything there is to get it running but I think it's the flame thing I don't know what it's called it's where the pilot is next to it is a pointy thing that's what I think it is cuz I have to hold the safety door switch and then put it on fast so it will stay lite up any ideas

  • @stacymer1
    @stacymer1 Před 12 lety +1

    @mt90945557 I have the same problem and read that you can clean the tip of the flame sensor (located between the 1st and 2nd burner on mine) with emery cloth or steel wool and it should solve the problem.

    Hi. Not sure if you will see this, but thought I would try. I have a furnace pretty much just like this. We were out of town for three weeks and now, we think, the pilot light it out. Do you happen to know how we relight it? We don't see where the pilot light might be. We also don't see the work pilot on the on/off knob like most other videos show. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. thank you

    • @HighVoltageMadness
      @HighVoltageMadness Před 5 lety +2

      This type of furnace doesn't have a pilot light. It uses a hot surface igniter which is the glow in the video. The igniter starts glowing 0:43 and shuts off after the burners light at 1:08.

    Way too long to ignite. No reason it couldn't have been made to ignate in less than 10 sec.

    • @HighVoltageMadness
      @HighVoltageMadness Před 5 lety

      You need to measure the electrical resistance of the igniter to determine if it is bad or not, as well as if it is even getting voltage or not

    I have the exact same furnace. The flame kicks on for about a second and then shuts off. I have done some research and it sounds like the flame sensor. I can't find it. Where is the flame sensor on this model.

    @2007cjkelley Před 11 lety +1

    actually it is a different model. It only has three burners. I have looked for the flame sensor and have not found it or where you could attach it. Is it possible that this furnace does not have a flame sensor. The model isUGDG-07EAUER.

    • @HighVoltageMadness
      @HighVoltageMadness Před 4 lety

      yes it doesn't have one it uses the ignitor to sense the flame via flame rectification.
