Hello Mel, first, check the gas valve orifice for any blockage internally,( insects/webs), this can disrupt the burner flame and prevent complete combustion, if needed the gas valve is part 279923.

Curt, This issue would either be caused by a faulty centrifugal switch on the motor or the timer. You will want to check power supply from the timer to make sure that there is power going to the igniter and if there is then will be a issue with the motor.

Martin, You will want to check the thermostats in the unit to make sure that they are good for continuity and also check the venting from the blower wheel to the outside of the home. If this checks ok then the coils would be the most likely cause.
