I had a similar call with no ignition, and was told it was running motor due to venting failure. I am still waiting for final answer from my boss this week as they replaced venting on friday.
I've always used the Honeywell with the continuous retry to prevent nuisance lockouts. Just needs a little rewiring.

Now I replace it with every failed module. When the switch has limited current capability, you can read a voltage drop across the rollout switch when the circuit is energized. Replacement of the rollout with the module IS a good idea.

I've seen one before, just didn't remember it.

But he figured it out and learned a little from it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
The JCI replacement is the black UEI box.
Call P&J !! we fix it the first time!!

Even though you have 24v at TH, if any limits are open the inducer will run but you will not get spark. He said they were grey boxes which means they were replaced. I think those are UEI boxes?

After looking at the wiring diagram I think he was talking about the ETD. Electronic Time Delay. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

This was in the control panel with the contactors and relays. I know about the limit by the heat exchanger. That was the first thing I had suggested. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
