Carrier 38E Ignition Igniter
The ignition igniter in the 38E is in charge of igniting the gas inside the furnace. It is not possible for the furnace to ignite and heat up if it does not work.
What red flags are there that my igniter is not working right?
- No burning by the heating system during the ignition cycle
- HVAC system produces zero heat even though the thermostat is set properly
