Thought of that but didn't want to tear everything out, my main goal is keeping all the insulation intact. It has been up there for over a 100+ years doubt/hope it's not going to go anywhere. I have all the slotted 2x4s running opposite across the originals and have the ceiling lifted and next...

I have a room that is 14'x12' and the center is sagging about 1 3/4" The house was built early 1900s and the roof is a rafter style built with true 2x4s and the ceiling is the same. I have stripped all the plaster but left the lath because it has 12"-14" of blown in insulation. My plan was to...

It was a bad solenoid in the gas valve, as soon as you let off the pilot went off and I had replaced the thermocouple that wasn't needed. Replaced the gas valve and everything is working as expected.

Went in and picked up and paid with CC but he said they would take cash. I am guessing times have changed and you can purchase as guest or make an account.

Times may have changed, they were $25 cheaper than online and $90 cheaper than local HAVC shop. I called 800 # and told her cash no account and I go in and pickup Monday morning and pay then.

Yes I did look for a replacement solenoid but no luck. Fortunately I was able to find a new replacement gas valve for $125 at Granger, and we have one 20 mins away. Online most places wanted $149 or more.

Thanks for all the reply's. When I saw 24v I just assumed DC, my bad. I have since retested the original transformer and is in good working order. From what I have gone through and tested, it looks like it is probably the solenoid in the gas valve. I found a replacement but have to wait till...

I have blown a fuse in my meter before, but never smoked one lol

Ok looks like I am going to replace the gas valve as it will not hold the pilot even after replacing the thermocoupler.

Ok, I am not a furnace guy but it does say on the box 24v secondary on the box so I am guessing it should output 24v. and it is just in AC. Thank you for helping me figure that out.

Good morning, I am working on a 60+ year old furnace that has been working great for us and is on the list to be replaced but trying to get one more Michigan winter out of it. I am trying to test the transformer out of the furnace. It has to leads going in black/hot and white/neutral. I put 120...
