Coleman furnace
Posted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 10:23 am
Gentlemen,
I have a Coleman Evcon Model DGAT056BDF Serial # 980998509 that is experiencing a rash of problems. Initially the diagnostic code indicated the combustion switch failed to close (3 flashes). I removed the switch and the induction motor and ordered both parts from your website. I re-assembled the switch and motor while waiting for the parts to be delivered and the furnace began to work again. When the parts arrived the combustion switch only had a single vacuum tube connection (mine has 2) and when I called your company a representative advised me that Coleman had replaced that part number. I kept the motor with the belief that the motor was probably the source of the problem and returned the combustion switch. The furnace worked for a couple of weeks and then it malfunctioned again, this time with an ignition failure code. Everything works up to the point of ignition and through the glass I can view that the igniter does not glow.
My questions are:
1.Is it likely that I have another problem perhaps in the board, etc? Or is it just coincidence that now the ignitor has gone bad too? Is the ignitor relatively easy to replace?
What would you recommend?
Thanks
