miller/lear-siegler gas furnace
Posted: Wed Jul 28, 2010 12:47 pm
i have a mobile home with a miller/lear-siegler gas furnace MMG-82-CGC
pilot light won't stay lighted? the thermocouple needs to be changed?
it looks like i need to remove the whole burner assembly by disconnecting the main gas pipe with a pipe wrench between the box that has the "off-pilot-on" valve and where the pipe goes into the burner, after i shut off the outside valve on the gas meter.
then there are the smaller fittings to the pilot burner (red button), the thermocouple fitting and some electrical wiring.
after that it looks like i can remove the whole assembly as one piece where three bolts having "eye holes" allow me to turn everything slightly and pull the burner out.
then i hope to have access to the thermocouple and pilot burner, then replace thermocouple and reassemble everything, check for leaks and try to light pilot?
does this sound right?
any other advice?
