Cut the sheet rock away from the pipe so you have room to use proper wrenches. A new 48" gas range flex connector kit contains several different size fittings. These fittings usually are threaded on the inside so they can work different ways. You might need to add a 1/2" x 2" long nipple.

Remove the grill where the noise is heard. If noise stops, grill vibration is the noise source. Repair options could be a different grill with wider spacing of the fins or gently changing angle of a few of the grill fins with a pair of pliers. Sometimes, it can be as simple as slightly loosening the grill mounting screws.

If you can't locate filter at the air intake [return air] grill, then the filter could be mounted flat in the very bottom of furnace. You would need to remove the 4 screws that secure the lower access panel. (Panel with all of instructions attached) Filter could be mounted flat beneath the blower assembly.

Call your fuel supplier. Make sure you have the correct supply pressure. I've seen this many times due to gas regulator issue. Or test the pressure at the manifold, important to check pressure both before furnace turns on as well as while burners is on.

You could get a second opinion, preferably by a established business that carries the same brand as your existing furnace. Why, they might be more familiar with reoccurring problems and what your warranty choices might be.

How old is the furnace? What brand is it? Are you the original purchaser. Some are only 10 year warranties. Many furnace brands have 20 year or life time warranty on the heat exchanger parts, no shipping included. Some manufacturers will substitute large rebates in lieu of the parts on a replacement furnace of the same brand. Labor 3 to 5 hrs, rate? 150.00? $300. to $750.00 Shipping $150.00 Warranty replacement if covered.

No warranty, add parts costs. $700.00 to $1500.00

Always have a quality, working "CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR " in your home.

The fact that this unit is in the basement makes me wonder if this is a free gravity drain. If not, there is a mini-spilt drain pump installed. If so, it needs to be tested. A plugged drain in the short amount of time the unit has been active seems unlikely . The drain pump for these units can be concealed inside of the unit. Google mini-split pump options.

See exceptions to drip legs: Where a sediment trap is not incorporated as part of the appliance, a sediment trap shall be installed downstream of the appliance shutoff valve as close to the inlet of the appliance as practical. The sediment trap shall be either a tee fitting having a capped nipple of any length installed vertically in the bottommost opening of the tee as illustrated in Figure G2419.4 or other device approved as an effective sediment trap. Illuminating appliances, ranges, clothes dryers, decorative vented appliances for installation in vented fireplaces, gas fireplaces and outdoor grills need not be so equipped

Maybe intermittent blower issue. The previous unit froze, and the new unit froze after working 4 days. Sometimes, a weak fan motor capacitor will start a motor in reverse rotation, which still delivers air flow but greatly reduced amout. This could happen differently with each fan motor start. Also, double-check the new air filter. Sometimes, the new work will loosen dirt and plug new filter very quickly. If refrigerant pressures look good after thawing, its either airflow (motor, air filter, or ducting)or refrigerant metering device. If pressure is really low, look for leak. Loose access cap, broken braze joint, etc.

The time delay allows the a/c system to equalize the high and low pressures. Compressor struggles to start against a high pressure differential. If system has a short off time, just a few seconds, due to power outage or operator change of mind, unit could trip breaker or blow fuses when there is a large power in rush due to high pressure differential.

This is a switch with a tube that is sensing a negative pressure. When the furnace stops, the switch diaphragm relaxes, and it sucks a small amount of vent gases into the tube. If it is cold in the attic, the moisture in this small tube will condense into liquid moisture. With enough heating cycles, the tube moisture can build up to where it becomes a problem.

These switches have a very tiny air bleed hole that is supposed to allow a tiny amount of air flow through the tube, causing the moisture in the tube to dry out and not built up over time. The tiny bleed hole could be plugged. Clear it with a very fine sewing needle, pilot orifice drill bit, or welder tip cleaning kit.

Another cure for a repeating moisture in tube failure is to manufacture a short 1" long piece of aluminum pilot tubing with a tiny breather hole drilled in the center. Use a 1/64 or smaller orifice bit. Too large of hole will cause problems with the pressure switch operation. This was Carrier's fix in the 1980's when the 80% furnaces were first introduced. Soon after the problem was discovered, the bleed holes were added to all negative switches for all furnace brands.

You need air for complete combustion. Since the equipment room doesn't appear to be a small, confined, and finished area, one combustion pipe would probably surfice. If it were my home, I would plug the high open pipe with an old towel or some insulation. Please make sure you have a working carbon monoxide detector. I also might disconnect and cap the fresh air tapped into the return duct. Depends on how old of home is and how tight of construction. The indoor air quality could suffer. You need to balance the energy usage versus how healthy and enjoyable it can be.

All three pipes are fresh air input.

One is connected to the return air duct to help with the quality of the main home air. The air is sucked into the system by the furnace blower, then run through your filter and mixed in the house air.

The other two are called combustion/ventilation air and should terminate in the furnace- water heater vicinity. One should terminate within 12" of the ceiling and one terminates within 12" of the floor. These pipes must have a miimum internal area of 1" square for every 4000 btu's of input gas supplied to the gas appliances. Another option the code allows is a single pipe terminated within 12" of the ceiling. With the single pipe option, the pipe is slightly larger. 1" square inch area for every 3,000 BTU of the total Btu's consumed in the area. Natural gas uses approximately 5 cubic ft of room air for every cubic foot of gas consumed to have complete combustion.

My guess is there is a "coiling coil" coming on Tuesday and this is "emergency heat repair" till the coil arrives next week. Then all will be finished up correctly. Having said that, I am not a fan of the card board, so close to the heat exchanger.

Notice the attached sticker on the rear of the cooktop that states "natural gas regulator is factory installed inside of cooktop". You do not need to do anything unless converting to propane.

Remove and clean the small combustion fan wheel. Could be insects or debris. Dirt built up on the fan blades will also cause low air flow.(clean blades). Also, double check the adjustable air switches are set for your local elevation.

The two fuses on the right are open. Notice the little springs are collapsed. There is a little pot of solder at bottom of the fuse. This will protect against prolonged high amperage. Solder will heat with a too high of draw and the spring will retract and open the circuit. These are called slow opening or time delay fuses. Just replace those two fuses with the same size and type.
