How Furnace Gas Valves Work and Leak

[@meTimetraveler]

does the solenoid stay energized? if not what closes the valve

Clean it and reuse it! These valves should be serviced!

[@NathansHVAC]

It isn't a good idea to service a safety device that has to always fail safe. This could lead to jumping out a safety feature that could result in a fail to unsafe condition. A perfect example would be removing a temperature limit. Or, putting a spring in the wrong prosition in a gas valve.

@@NathansHVAC once you know how it works, there should be no excuse not to repair it. I know it is not financially favorable to the contractors but to the owners , yes!

Great video exactly what I wanted I have one that is whistling when engaged. What do you is making that sound?

[@NathansHVAC]

Make sure there are no spider webs in the burner tubes. You can clean them with compressed air.

I'm getting a subtle gas smell from my vent. Could this be a reason?

[@NathansHVAC]

probably a leak on a pipe. try to sniff it out or use soap bubbles.
