Wont stay lit.

Ive looked around here to try and answer my own question but its a little much to take in so hopefully one of you guys could shed some light on this for me.

The best I can tell I have a Nordyne KG6RA060C-12 gas furnace that is acting up. For a while now I could turn on the heat and it would heat up to the set thermostat temp. but once it shut off, the furnace would never re-light and stay lit. I would have to turn off the t-stat, wait a min. and turn it back on. If I let it do its thing the blower would just endlessly cycle and no heat.

Recently the furnace wont stay lit more than a few seconds and will not produce any heat. I turn on the t-stat, head to where the unit is and I see the element heat up. A few seconds later the gas lights and a yellow light rapidly blinks on the board. After maybe 3 seconds the flame is gone but the blower is still pumping. I cant get it to heat up at all anymore and its starting to get a little chilly here in the south so any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Inspect the burner tube for any clogs and also the burner orifice/spud for spider-web-bugs that may be clogging it.


Thanks,
