✓
Dirty filter. Restricted airflow makes the furnace overheat and shut down.
✓
Dirty flame sensor. The furnace lights, cannot confirm the flame, and shuts off.
✓
High limit switch. It trips when the heat exchanger gets too hot, often because of poor airflow.
✓
Oversized furnace. A furnace too large for the house heats it in bursts and shuts off quickly.
✓
Flue blockage. Snow, ice or debris in the vent pipe can trip the pressure switch.
✓
Thermostat placement. A thermostat near a supply vent or in sun can read warm too soon.
✓
Replace the filter.
✓
Open closed supply vents and clear furniture off return grilles.
✓
After a snowstorm, look at the furnace intake and exhaust pipes outside and gently clear snow away from them.
✓
Check that the thermostat is not near a heat source.
