Furnace starts then stops: safe observations

The furnace begins an operating sequence but stops before completing the expected heating cycle.

Immediate safety screen

Leave the area and follow evidence-backed emergency guidance if gas odor or another immediate hazard is present.

Observations that narrow the path

  • Does a diagnostic code appear before shutdown?
  • Does shutdown occur before or after the indoor blower starts?

Candidate fault groups

Safety-first observation branches; not probability.

  • Airflow or limit-circuit condition
  • Ignition-proving condition
  • Pressure-switch or venting condition

Identify the exact model, controller emitter, and displayed code before using diagnostic guidance.
