   Hey folks. I've got a problem with my furnace on my 177. This is the first time I've attempted to use it (was just a test to see how it works). It will not fire up. I've purged all the lines (stove top, refrigerator, water heater and they will lite up just fine). I've gone as far as loosening the gas line going into the furnace until I smelled gas and then tightened it back up. I removed the front cover and I can see the igniter doing it's thing for 3 cycles but no flame. By the way, the blower does work just fine, just blows cold air. It's only 5 months old (the R-POD 177). Any ideas before I take it back to the dealer? The thermostat is set to auto and the temp is set at 75. Thanks in advance.

	We had this happen once on our 177 back in 2012 found a mud dauber had built a nest just downstream from where the igniter is, result was not enough air was flowing through the air chamber. Just maybe you have a similar issue, get a mirror and flashlight and check out the area around your igniter. Keep us posted, let us know what you find out even if you have to lug it back to the dealer.
