How to Light a Furnace Pilot Light Here, we'll explain the basic steps for re-lighting the pilot light of a gas furnace.

#1: Locate the Instructions Label on Your Furnace

Every furnace should have a label on it that tells you how to light a furnace. Sometimes, however, the printing may be small or the furnace area may be dark. In these cases, the label may be difficult to read. Keeping the following instructions near your furnace or in another safe spot where they can be located easily will make the task much easier.

#2: Find Pilot Light and Components

Near the bottom of your furnace is a switch that normally says "Pilot," "On" and "Off." Find this switch and turn it to the "Off" position. Wait at least five minutes. This is important because it gives the gas time to dissipate, which is necessary to avoid possibly starting a fire. While you are waiting, take note of the location of the reset button, which should be near the dial you just turned to "Off."

#3: Re-Light the Pilot Light

Once the gas has had time to dissipate, turn the knob to "Pilot." Then, hold down the "Reset" button and bring the flame of a long lighter close to the pilot light opening. This should light the furnace pilot light. Once you are sure the pilot light is on, release your pressure on the reset button.
Sometimes, seeing a job bein

If they could not find you a gas valve, the part is obsolete. You do not want to buy the modified part because of waking up several times each night to relight the pilot light. Time to buy a new furnace.

Why Does My Gas Furnace Pilot Light Keep Going Out?

Jan 10, 2014 - The thermocouple is the copper rod you see the pilot flame hitting. It's a safety device that controls a small valve to shut off gas going to the pilot ...

Is the pilot light lit? There should be a valve that turns the gas off at the furnace itself. This valve is for the pilot lite There is no breaker of sorts but rather a sparker that lights the furnace. If the furnace does not light there is a small 12 volt valve that shuts off the gas to the furnace but not to the pilot light. Also make sure your 12 volt system is connected and operating. It wont work without it as it operates off that system not 120V. The same goes for refrigerators, the will not function with the 12v system disconnected

If I recall correctly, model number Rheem furnace you listed has electronic ignition to light the pilot, when the home's thermostat calls for heat. Is this what you're having a problem with?

on the bottom of the unit there is an access door remove it and behind it you will find a gas valve and a pilot find the piolot......turn off the gas valve and move the selector to piolot depress the switch and at the same time place the flame from a log lighter onto the pilot light after this lights turn the gas valve to run and the burner should light.

FOLLOW THE ALUMINUM 1/4 INCH TUBING WHICH IS THE PILOT TUBING WHERE IT ENDS IS WHERE U LITE

Hi, normally when you turn the gas off at the flex line valve and leave it off for awhile, the gas has to clear the gas valve and lines up to the pilot. Purge its self of air before it will light again. It will take the electronic ignition several clicks and more before there is enough gas to light the pilot and then open the main gas valve to fire the burners. Tell me, what kind of gas furnace is this when you speak of water? you say the site glass was full and you had to drain it and then the ignitor kept on clicking when it normally only took one click to light it. Please let me know the style as in a split system, a package unit, all in one, or what you have. I will wait to hear back from you. If the pilot does not light right away, then yes let it continue to click and see if it will light. On a heater with the electronic ignition control module on it or a circuit board, this is what tells the pilot coil to energize to light the pilot. It will send power to the pilot coil to open and let gas through to light and same for the main gas valve, will get a signal to open when the pilot is on. It will not open unless the pilot is lite for saftey. I will wait for you're responce.

Check the pilot light size. Is it small and not surrounding the top 1/3 of the thermocouple? If it isn't then the pilot orfice is restricted or the pilot tube compression nut could be loose. The pilot gas adjustment screw may also need adjusting if this gas valve has one. These problems should only be addressed by an experienced service tech.

The problem might be with your safety switches other than you gas valve poilte
