I have a Johnson & Starley warm air system, and before anyone disses warm air I (normally, when it works) love it! It's a J55-65 (Modairflow Series 2) Here it is:
Problem is that at the moment something is v wrong... The burner keeps not firing up, despite the thermostat being turned up & the house cold (so it should start up).
Bizarely, every now & then it will spontaneously start up - sometimes just for 30 seconds, sometimes for a few minutes. Then it will stop again. The intervals between these firing-ups varies hugely. There seems to be no pattern.
Unfortunately these random (usually short) firing-ups are not sufficient to heat up the house and we are freezing!
A few months ago the burner etc was thoroughly cleaned out so I don't think it is sooted up.
And yesterday the guy who usually looks after our system replaced the capacitor, but the problem is still there - so it's not the capacitor.
So what could the problem be???
