Cleaning the Combustion Chamber The combustion chamber is where the fuel mixes with air and ignites. Over time, soot and other byproducts can build up. This leads to corrosion. Regular cleaning helps extend the life of the system. These are general steps to follow: Carefully remove the chamber cover. Use a small wire brush to scrape away built-up carbon. Vacuum out loose debris. Inspect the chamber for holes or signs of corrosion. Inspecting the Flue Pipe The flue pipe carries exhaust gases out of your home. It may have holes or corrosion, especially where it connects to the furnace. You can patch small holes with foil tape, but a professional should replace a corroded flue pipe. Also, inspect it for proper alignment and secure connections. Check the condition of the barometric damper, which regulates the chimney draft.

You suck!

Красавчик!

Very good video however you didn't verify furnace circuit was deenergized. I find this to be the biggest mistake. Yes, the switch SHOULD cut the power but finding out the hard way is never a good way.

Very true! The smallest things can cause the biggest problems. ✅✅✅ great video man! God Bless!

I don't mess around with that mess!!! Any wrong move that mess explodes 😬

no testing of the blower cap !

should we have the unit on or off. I didn't hear you say to turn the furnace switch off

When I open the front cover for vacuuming inside the firnace, there was something like filter attached to that front cover. That filter kind of thing was very dirty and broke. What do we call that one? It is round fiber something. Where to find it. Can we turn on furnace without that? Just closing the front cover? Can I add just something fireproof there like basement wall insulation cut in to round and attach there?

Very good knowledge Sir

Good info and what not.

This video just save my landlord a sue

Computer board? Bro cmon. Integrated fan control

A lot of the new high efficiency Carriers have very difficult to remove flame sensors.

Thank you ! Thank you ! Very helpful 👍👍👍

i just want to say thank you for cleaning the flame sensor with an abrasive. ive been told countless times to use non abrasive or "dollar bill" and not one time has an instructor been able to give me a confident or concise answer. i quit using non abrasive the first month of doing service work after the call backs started rolling in. the way i see it is if you verify low current before you clean it verify the micro amps there is no difference to a board. after 10+ years ive only ever replaced a flame sense rod because i broke it.

That filter catches rocks....

Thanks for the video. How about checking the burners how is done?

Thank you What Not.

Video would have been perfect if the camera man would zoom in to each part he talks about. Can't see anything from that distance.

11.34 Satan?

Good tips. My inducer motor is heating up and not spinning freely. Makes a squeaky sound. Where is the maintenance tip for that on a new Lenox Heater?

at 11:35 there is the faint whisper and it does not sound like a human at all you really have to turn up the audio to hear it but its low key creepy. But the video was very informative as well.

12:46 Perfect explanation of how it works! Thank you.

Thank you very much. and what not :)

After my blower shuts off, it starts back up in a minute or two and run for another 30-60 seconds. I presume that is because it cools the sensor but the heat exchanger still has quite a bit of heat in it and eventually heats the sensor back up to run the blower some more.

Great

Very well done

good job john

good detail thank

right before 9:00. The oils of your fingers on the igniter switch tip will cause tip to crack, furnace not to work and new part needed & installed. that fact should be emphasized for sustainability.

A home owner should keep a spare flame sensor and an igniter for their furnace. These items are available via the Internet for about 1/10 of what a service company will charge you. You can also purchase the fans for your furnace. Fans last a long time, 10-15-20 years typically. They normally only die when you have house guests during the holidays.

Thankyou!! At 11:37 I think you have a ghost reaching out!! It says something I can’t make it out lol. No I’m not crazy lol

They wanted 185.00 dollars to do what u just showed us thank u

There is also the humidifier filter

This guy must have said "what not" about 150 times in this video.

Thanks for the video John. Greetings from Holland;-)

What-not.

Lol I’m sure you recommend I call a professional :/ like this is rocket science. I’ll find another video

The care taker here told me if I hold the filter up to a light bulb and I can see the light it is a good filter [ the filter black as tar not changed for two years, two rays of light shone through.] Can this be right? I took care of my home furnace and this is exactly 180 degrees from what I learned years ago.

I love all the WHAT NOTS!

I don't have gas/ oil

I agree with other viewers that the cameraman sucks. He is way too far away and you cannot see the details of the Flame sensor or the burners and other things. Get up in that furnace his face. It’s almost like a cameraman couldn’t get close because he had some contagious disease and the HVAC tech didn’t want to get sick.

Good video and whatnot

Thank you Sir for sharing your knowledge!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for this you don't know how much of a blessing this was!!!

Cleaned system so half the things you mentioned were not done by you or what not.

anyway around not sniffing it lol like soap or something

Good video make more
