in THE MAIN WALL
My father has a Miller gas furnace and he keeps having the pilot loight blow out on windy days. I had him check the gas pressures, replace the pilot, and check the wind cap. What else should I have him check ? I don't know where else to go with this one.

    bob,

    He could have a cracked heat exchanger. Have a pro in to check it. Cracked HX can be real tough to "see", you have to know how to find them.

    Does he have a CO det. in the house?

    Dont fool around with this!!!

    Have it checked.

    one indication of a cracked heat exchanger is a " dancing flame. "
