why will this not work on an older oil furnace

It attaches between a stove pipes and blows hot air out when it reaches a hot temp. I hope that helps answer your question.

Try to look them up online or u can contact the company. They're pretty basic really if u just play with them. If that doesn't work let me know and I'll see if I can help further. My 6 yr oil figured them out faster than I did lol

Problem could be very, but check the ignitor to see if it is too close to the burner and did not make enough spark, the other thing to check is to make sure the wire is ground, otherwise it will not spark.

I don't really have that I knowledge. I have a oil heat system is 56 years old and uses a 110 line to run the thermostat.

This did not work on my older (1990s) induction stove. The metal is very thin.

Check for any debris and then oil and if that does not work loosen the screws they could be too tight.

This looks like the one that is on my Rudd Sihouette furnace. However, mine's rather old, and previous techs have cut the plug and wire nutted it in place, so it can work. Just make sure to not touch the ignition with your bare hand because oils from your hand can make it prematurely burn up. I'm not a HVAC tech, just a DIYer that is tired of being charged 175$ to replace a 15$ part.

Yes, even if the connectors dont match up- just cut the connectors off of both ends (the new part and the one coming off your unit), splice the ends, then wire nut them together. This is basically just a ceramic resistor that heats up (red hot) when an electrical current is passed through it- thus lighting the gas inside your furnace. Kudos to you for doing this yourself! You just saved yourself alot of money =)

No it will not. Had to try it myself to see. Sorry. My units are several years old. They give off a lot of heat though & for the money have been good heaters. I own 2 of them.

Locate your oil pan and apply a magnet, if oil pan is aluminum, magnet won't stick. if it does stick, just attach heater to oil pan. I purchased a outdoor plug-in timer ($10.00) home depot. Plug heater into timer and timer into grounded receptacle. This product works well. regards

it should not get very hot or smell hot , make sure it matches old motors specs ie. amp draw ,horsepower, & correct voltage & rotation

Yes, this will run a standard gas or oil furnace with no problem - it has more than enough punch. It will NOT run an ELECTRIC FURNACE, those are almost always 240 volt, and use a LOT of electricity. This is a 120 volt generator. It also won't run your Clothes Dryer, Electric Oven, or Electric Hot Water Heater or Central Air Conditioner. But it WILL run a rather good sized 120 volt window Air Conditioner and even a microwave oven at the same time, it works great for powering up and cooling down my 5th Wheel RV Trailer. If you are going to buy it to keep your oil or gas furnace going during a winter power loss, you need to plan TODAY for how you are going to connect it to your furnace. Easiest way it to "un hardwire" your furnace, and just have it on a cord that goes into a regular 120 volt plug. When the power goes out, just run an extension cord OUTSIDE to the generator, fire it up, plug in the furnace into the extension cord and you're good to go. (Absolutely do NOT run the generator inside of ANY structure. Not in a lawn building, not out in the garage, not in the barn. Even if you just run in there "for a minute" to refill the gas tank after it has run out of fuel, the Carbon Monoxide levels will be high enough to kill ya dead in no time flat. RUN THE GENERATOR ONLY IN THE OUT OF DOORS!!!) As far as the difference in the model numbers, I can see nothing in the specifications other than slightly different dimensions and a much different gas-tank style. I am very happy with my purchase of this model, and it seems to have a much better price.

Sorry, mine is just a replacement furnace thermostat. I know nothing about it.

I am not sure every furnace has different size flame sensor check the specifications

I don't really know if it will work. In my case it needs a corresponding part wired directly into the furnace

My furnace is GMT090-4. The fan is standard on the GMT furnaces. It should work.
