we're currently doing a bunch of troubleshooting and stuff, but it's almost midnight so i dunno if there's anything we can do about it tonight if it doesn't start working again. put extra blankets out for the cats and hope for the best tomorrow
I hope you can get it sorted out. This cold is no joke.
I know in the past I've had to clean my furnace's flame sensor; it's a safety feature that shuts off the gas if it doesn't detect fire within a few seconds.
oh we'll have to check that out. it looks like it's working *for now* but the fan's not blowing as hard as it should. at least it's heat. but before that one of the issues was that the pilot light would light and then not STAY lit, so i'll check then sensor on it like you said
we have lots of blankets and hoodies and fuzzy socks and stuff, but i don't think we have extra heaters. we have folks we could probably borrow them from if we needed tho, so we're not totally out of luck there!
so i posted this an hour after we realized it wasn't working and had been troubleshooting. it's ON now, but the fan's not blowing as hard as it should for some reason. my partner had to go to bed so i'm just gonna keep an eye on it tonight and hope for the best as it's after midnight
