I learn more about diagnosing a problem watching your vids. You always stick to the basics and dont get distracted but the homeowners, phone ringing. Steve always saves the day!

Head light can make the job a lot easier. A slight adjustment and everywhere your eyes go, your light goes with both hands free. I've been in the field 25 years and I think you do a good job.

lots of people dissing the homeowner here. Dude just wants to know so he can fix it himself next time, get off his back about it hahah.

Nice diagnosis though. But yeah id be at that secondary pswitch checkin volts before i went to a roll out. You would never even get to an inducer starting or even ignitor glowing if rollout is tripped.

I just installed my own 90% goodman furnace. Took my time feel like I did a good job on everything. Ran great first day second day flame wasn't consistent and gas valve was clicking. Took me 3 days to figure it out after checking everything my vent was not pitched enough and condensation was building up and pressure switch wasn't closing. I probably saved 3k installing it myself. Furnace works great now and happy I did it myself. I'm not saying all furnace repair / installers are bad but most of them charge too much damn money. I learned how the furnace operates and learned how to install them. If you're handy at all its not very hard to do and I recommend it. Just make sure all your gas fittings are sealed ,tight and leak tested. Check gas pressures on your inlet and outlet. These new furnaces are pretty safe and have fail safes for the gas valve. Don't get ripped off do it yourself.

I am surprised a distributor was open on a Saturday, I am around the Kansas City area no distributors are open on Saturday unless you want to pay $125.00 for them to open the door, on the other hand they are open 8:00 a.m. to noon in summer time only

I swear I learn more everyday watching your videos. As a new tech I really appreciate it steve

Honeywell VR8345M is a good universal valve that includes an LP kit in case you need it. They’re a little pricey but a good true universal fit to save the running around. This is the second time I’ve noticed in a month you’ve needed to run after an LP kit. Good diagnosis though!

You do not have to remove that plug when attaching the manometer hose, just back it out about 1 turn.

I have been looking for the rest button for a week. Saw your video and recognized the part. I couldnt see the button till watching your video. I have heat. Thanks a bunch

The irony it's 2:42 March 17 st Patricks day and I'm having this issue. And it snowed earlier here in Missouri just my luck . I'ma watch to see if I can do something about this

The coil is bad on the gas valve. The best way it was described to me when I was going through tech school was that, "If it's receiving its inputs (voltage & gas) and it isn't doing its job, the component is bad.". Any call I go on where I have to condemn a part, I never try to say "I don't know.". The customer deserves a better reasoning than "I don't know.", lol. Good job on the repair.

Love listening to the unit owners hang by wanting to know what's up, they want the instant updates, like you are delivering their baby...

Steve for future reference the condensate pressure switch activates the gas valve in all goodmans and amana. Also you should check unit with combustion analizer at all time..

I like watching service people especially when they're by themselves!!! Things have happened over the years! I won't get into details! I've been thanked often!! Plus, I don't hover right over them, asking a bunch of questions! Oh, great vid as usual, Steve!!

Thanks for the help. I had the exact same furnace with the same problem. I figured out where my flame sensor is and that it was the problem from watching this video. Thanks mate

I am Glad my wife has not moved in yet, My has to be a new furnace , it's 30 years old and not throwing no money into this thing.. Minest well buy brand new one

The part he did really quick, about seeing if any of the switches were tripped, finally got my furnace on.

Houston we have ignition mama!

The "Root Cause" - Goodman.

Nice work Molly. I mean Molly’s assistant

Will a dirty flame sensor stop it from firing up all together??? I thought the flame sensor would need the ignitor to glow first and prove, then open the gas valve and light the burners and at that point the flame sensor would fail causing it to short cycle?

should have told him something like - 2 pickles fell on the floor, do you know what the one pickle say to the other ? dill wit it

You might want to get you a crystal ball,and keep on the truck.They always want to know why these parts fail.

Yep as a Car mechanic I use to get that why it failed ?? all the time!! My answer very simple they are designed that way on most parts to go at a certain time, Usually just after Hmmm Warranty runs out!! Money maken MOMMA!!

Thanks again Steven!

Man, this is gonna be expensive for him. What is the difference between a natural gas furnace and a propane gas furnace? Do the use different parts or the same parts?

Grandparents had a old Bryant propane furnace when I was growing up. It broke down only twice. Once for a thermocouple and the heat exchanger cracked and did it in. Was replaced with a Ream gas pack which was pure junk from day one.

This video helped me fix my furnace, you kept it simple so I was able repair mine, a big Thanks

I’d like to know what the he’ll difference the stupid spring matters from propane or gas? It seems like the makers have it out for the average Joe.

And you can do the conversion with the existing valve

Round and round she goes... where she starts nobody knows. Place your bets gentleman, place your bets! What's it going to be? 6.8”...7.3”...8.5”....9.7”…who's going with 10.5” on the money right out of the gate? 💵💵💵 👍

Good job checking pressure . Did it call for 9-11” wc.on the furnace plate? Nat gas is 95% reliable but from my experience propane is only about 80-85% reliable. I have propane now and it froze up 3 times in 3 years. I put a tee and various fittings with a Shutoff in the incoming gas line so now I can check inlet pressure easily. My valve doesnt have a pressure tap.

Good Job Steven

Dam customers. The best thing they can do is go upstairs and watch the price is right ..

Good job Steve it’s a crusty one mr grinch

Great video on the repair. Propane heating is very expensive though.

There goes another satisfied customer. Peace brother

Im assuming the new gas valves have spring ready for natural gas?

Yep must be the valve. It was installed upside down. Lol

Never liked to work on a propane furnace. Delayed igniton, bad news.

I have a question 🤔 I'm having the same problem with a Goodman furnace fan blower does not turn on but inducer motor ramps up and down until unit locks out because of no flame has been established and there is no flame at all gas valve is on should I put a manometer to read pressures and adjust before I condem a gas valve????

OEM Honeywells have been cheapened into CRAP! Replaced one this morning, advised homeowner to RELACE 3 year old nordyne with an ACTUAL FURNACE! They should be BANNED for sale in this country! Like a federal pacific circuit breaker, THEY ARE DANGEROUS!

Good video. But why not shut the valve off to put the plug in instead of shutting power off at the switch?

Can u not try to adjust the old one to get it to work maybe it was a dirty valve can u not open it up and try to adjust it up to see if it's just clogged

I came across a lot of them style gas valve gone bad after one or two season

It must be frustrating with the homeowner on your shoulder.

i love the gas forced hot air videos!

Great video as usual.

Put 24 v across the gas valve. If it opens, it’s not the valve.

Make sure you charge him for on job training Steve! Lol

I used to be scared of them thangs as a kid.

Why are the Honeywell gas valves so crappy anymore? I constantly have to replace them

Smh I have the same problem

What if the gas valve opens and still doesn't ignite?

Good video on that propane furnace!

Straightforward diagnosis and repair Great Video!

You do fine work Steve

Nice job as always

Where do I get that spring ? I can’t find one

Thanks for this, very well done!

Great videos as always love blower motor sound

I wanna buy a lavimoniere plumbing hat do they exist?

How do you like the field piece manometer? Have you used much of there stuff? Thinking about getting a co meter from them...

Nope NO TRIAL FOR IGNITION with any limit switch OPEN! What he just get in the business? The valve is stuck, tap it after coil energizes to confirm! It will fire! Then Replace!

Your the "Man" Steve thanks for the great video!

You need to get a Honeywell VR8345K4809 on your truck.

I have same exact problem. What to do?

Steven I need your help buddy. I've been doing these HVAC-R courses on interplaylearning and how do you start the simulations? Just can't figure it out. Thanks pal Love your videos, the wife says I'm watching KZfaq to much. 🤣

"I know your wife's up there and wants the heat" .. meaning stop bothering the repairman or else..

Never trust what a customer tells you. If you're not checking, you're guessing.

Wife wants the HEAT!

Steve you should of told him to GOOGLE " why does a Gas Valve go bad?"

What tool is that and brand please

Starts at 0:50

Good job sir 👍🏽

Thanks for the video,

"things break" ;)

Hey Steven, nice to see these helpful videos. I have a gas furnace and it's giving me a weird problem. When I turn the heat on to high, it doesn't fire up then shuts off. But when I turn it on manually with a BBQ lighter. It stays on its cycle only on max high Wich is 30°C. If I turn it down, then the whole furnace shuts off to safe mode. Do you know what could be the problem?

You do a TD test? WHY NOT?

Great video. What size are the brass fittings that screw into the gas valve that I hook up my monometer and where do I get them???

Oh, I don't know....I usually hang around because the more I can learn, the more I can fix these things myself; I don't know about anyone else, but I can't afford to keep paying these guys $100.00 and sometimes more, just to show up and look at it, not including any repair costs. I'll admit, however, that I don't keep shooting questions at them as they do their work, like this guy did, very annoying. I mostly just observe and make mental notes, with an occasional question if I'm still not 100% clear, but I can usually get it the first time just by quietly watching.

Not sure which customer question I hate the most...”Why did the part fail?” Or “Do you think it will last another year?”

Just tell'em propane is under a lot more pressure than natural gas. Puts more stress on the valves.

Almost 80,000 subs momma

I thought outlet gas pressure has to be 3.5IWC

Jumper would've been a lot quicker

great video

Good video !!

good job 👍🏻👌🏻

Ok

Should there have been an error code for the bad gas valve?

Or a bad ecodimiser

Always check other technicians , he is NOT doing good job.

You cant Kill a Goodman!!!

Steve is that the SDMN5 manometer?

I though gas valve have 110 v

@ 2:12 I'm thinking check for 24v @ valve. Let's continue

He is full of crap. Tell him to check burner sensor

Annoying customer
