Furnace problems

[Mrbobcat]

Ok my sewer pipe backed up the past couple days and it was a mess, about 4-5 inches in the basement. I know I should have called the plumber yesterday, but I had clinicals which I can't miss. Damn plumber charged me $180 which I cannot afford, but at least the water heater still works. It didn't put out the pilot lights on the gas furnance, but it must have shorted something out because it turns on and the flames all ignite, but the blower does'nt turn. Right now I have a fan blowing on it so I have a little heat, but don't know if I should leave it like that overnight as I can smell gas. I probly should'nt have messed with it. A wire looked like it was unplugged so I plugged it in the middle plug (there is 3-1 with H, 1 with M and 1 with L) I figured middle must mean medium, anyway a shot of flames came out the side, so I don't know if I shorted something or not. My gf says to turn it off for awile and leave the fan blowing on it, sound like good advice or should I call the gas company or get a new blower? By the way I really can't afford this right now as I'm in school and living on borrowed money, but its supposed to get into the uppper 20's tonight and its a weekend.

Sounds pretty nasty. If you smell gas, well you should turn off the gas (got to be a main valve located somewhere depending on your set-up n type house.)


I wouldn't recommend you mess with it anymore. Its clear you have no clue what your doing and you could easily hurt yourself badly. You could have very well shorted something to your blower as well. If you follow the wires there should be a solenoid (something that regulates the electric current from probably the fan blower and the house temperature dial) which you might have messed up.


Have someone look at it man or go to the store and buy a space heater if you need some heat. Crappy situation tho bro.
