When we purchased our home the inspector was unable to test the furnace due to what they thought was no propane in the tank. When we got the propane filled we discovered some issues.
It's a UltraSX80, and we had the furnace valve, the pilot, the igniter, and the thermal couple replaced. Later in the winter the control board went down so we had that replaced.
It's our first year in an old house if you can't tell and a new furnace will wait. The inducter motor is working. We got a new propane delivery today, it was at 10% from last winter and tried to turn on our furnace, the pilot igniter will turn on but does not light the propane. We can manually ignite the pilot with a flame but the pilot does not heat up the thermal couple and the unit shuts down. The flame is blue. We have checked all safety switches, the unit will fire up but will drop out due to lack of pressure. The valve on the propane tank is open, and pressure regulator on the side of the house is open. Any suggestions?
Does anyone have any ideas? We used a family member in the HVAC business but he's out of town and if it's something simple we're missing I'd rather save the money on a call to someone else on a weekend.
