Frigidedare furnace ONE single burner (out of 4) is sputtering after ignition. I’m not a tech but very handy and mechanical.

Dirt in the orifice that feeds the burner
Insufficient pressure
Too much air
These are the first 3 things I might check
Do you have a pressure gauge (manometer) for checking gas pressure?
Is it an end burner or a middle burner?
Is it propane of natural gan?
Finally, If this is not your profession... Have you had a professional maintenance performed on your equipment?
Some people do their own oil change and maintenance, some take their Ford to a dealer. Heaters need maintenance too!
Have you ever asked for an air filter for a Ford? The first question the counter man will ask is " Model and Year of the car?" so... your Frigidedare... How old and does it have a model number?
A picture of the heater and of the problem burner can be very helpful tooEdward Young Retired HVAC Contractor & HYDRONICIAN Services first oil burner at age 16 P/T trainer for EH-CC.org0 -
