I spent the day ripping that pathetic excuse for a furnace out of its under
sink hidey place. I removed and eyeballed every switch and connection of
its galvanized poison little soul. In the end the gas solenoid valve and
the ignitor board were robbed from another Duo-Therm carcass and switched
to my current PIA non heating device.
What I did, I have no idea, but by day's end I had stuffed it back in place
and clicked the thermostat switch...Ignition !! That should do it until
the next time...and trust me I have pulled that thing more times than I can
count.
For the moment it works !
Thanks for your suggestions and advice.
