My furnace kicks in and then it never ignites it just blows cold air. Its a Trane XL80, I opened the inspection panel and the red light is blinking slowly. I did this last night and it just kicked in and ignited. It won't tonight, any ideas?

A quick fix i have herd is to used a dollar like sand paper on the sensor.
happened to us at our old place and it worked but only would fix it for a few weeks.

Thermocouples were typically used in older system with pilot lights. A modern system with electronic ignition wouldn't need a thermocouple.... they use flame sensors.Originally posted by 01darkblueTA View PostComment

A flame sensor is about $12 or so and is an easy fix. Worth a shot anyhow.
