Rudd Gas Furnace Problem!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can any one out here help me with this dilema that I'm having? I have a 2004 Rudd Achiever Series "Super Quiet 80" gas furnace and the problem I'm having is after I set the thermostat in heat mode and set it at 90, the inducer fan comes on for about 30 sec., then the electric style electrobe ignitor starts ticking and arcing for 10sec. gas ignites. After ticking of electrobe stops which happens 5 sec. after flame appears, the fire roars for maybe another 5 sec. and then it goes out. In another 10 sec. the electrobes starts ticking again , then the unit ignites again, then it repeats what it did at first. After the flame goes out for the second time, the blower fan starts to run with the inducer fan and it finally shut down after 5 min. Can anyone help me with this problem,Please?????? Oh yeah, I have the control board that has the 3 blinking lights, 2 green, one yellow which is the flame light and which is not coming on at all and this a new board.

Try this. Find the flame sensor, which should be a small metal rod sticking up in front of one of the burners. Usually, the sparker is near a burner tube on one side of the furnace and the flame sensor is at the burner tube farthest from the sparker. The sensor will have one wire going to it's base and is usually held in place by one screw. Remove the sensor and wipe it lengthwise with fine steel wool or very fine sandpaper. Do not stroke it hard, just enough to polish it. Reassemble. Reset your furnace by turning the electric off and then back on. I think you will find the flame stays on.
