WHY IS IT SO FREEZING COLD IN THE HOUSE? - Page 3

You haven't tried the "take pictures and let someone guide you through it" option ...

monster · 11-01-2011, 09:45 AM

that's what I was gonna suggest....... but then I didn't.

infinite monkey · 11-01-2011, 09:46 AM

I don't know that pictures would help. For one, the furnace is in the very narrow hallway, it'll be a tight squeeze to get a decent picture...which I suck at taking pictures anyway. And I can't get a picture inside the hole.

monster · 11-01-2011, 09:46 AM

um munkie....... did you pay the gas bill? I mean, do you actually have gas? are you sure? does it make hissy noises and smell funny if you turn it on?

infinite monkey · 11-01-2011, 09:48 AM

Hahahhahaa! Yeah, my gas stove works. I used it last night. And I hear hissy and smell gassy. (Well, I don't think I smell gassy...I mean I smell the gas!)

infinite monkey · 11-01-2011, 09:50 AM

I'm going to try one more thing tonight, then I will take a picture. If that doesn't work out, I will call someone tomorrow. We're to have a warm couple days anyway.

I do appreciate the suggestions and stuff: just that much helps my anxiety level.

I really do like you people.

wolf · 11-01-2011, 09:55 AM

If you're smelling kalor in the area of the furnace, you want to call someone.

Now.

Sooner than now.

Get out the time machine if you have to. It's worth the energy expenditure.

infinite monkey · 11-01-2011, 09:57 AM

I don't know what is kalor, but I only smell the gas when I'm "farting" around with the pilot light control and the release button thingy.

Undertoad · 11-01-2011, 10:01 AM

Is there a model number on this contraption?

glatt · 11-01-2011, 10:02 AM

Well, if you do end up calling someone, make sure they show you how to do it. You're probably doing it right, there's probably just some other problem.

infinite monkey · 11-01-2011, 10:07 AM

I've looked for it on the 'net. I don't think the company exists anymore...

I can't remember the name or anything right now though.

Nirvana · 11-01-2011, 10:51 AM

You should have a button or knob that must be turned and held down to light the pilot. If the knob is in the pilot position you will have to turn it off, wait 10 minutes put it to the pilot position and hold down while lighting the "holey thingy" in the trap door. Continue holding the ignition knob down for at least one minute then turn the knob to the on position.

monster · 11-01-2011, 10:53 AM

I think she's an attention ho in NJ who doesn't actually have a furnace at all.

infinite monkey · 11-01-2011, 10:59 AM

lol @ monster

I've tried that, Nirvana. I've tried everything. But I'll try again, just as you say it.

If it works this time I will love you forever.

Nirvana · 11-01-2011, 11:05 AM

Important item I forgot turn the thermostat all the way to the lowest setting and then follow the other instructions. Good luck

If that does not work be safe and call someone.
