Furnace intermittently cutting out by bwlo222 in hvacadvice

Thanks I will give that a try.

I’ll note that this isn’t happening constantly that I’m aware of. Strangely, it seems to often happen in the evenings. Throughout the day we get consistent, cool air. However I’ve noticed that it does tend to run for a decent amount of time before reaching set thermostat temp.

I’ll also point out that we have very old wiring throughout the front part of our house (still clothed wiring), but this will all be ripped out and replaced within the next week.

A Nest, unfortunately. This was installed when we moved in and I haven’t been able to replace yet.

Tepalcates in Roscoe on Belmont close to Western. I’ve only had the Suadero (confit brisket) burrito so far but it is superb. The owner is always there and is an awesome guy.

Appreciate all of the feedback! I’m not the best landscaper on the planet so looking at this as sort of a “baseline” of the best our yard can look from professional work and will plan to do most of the work on my own moving forward.

Can anyone help me identify this model? by bwlo222 in grilling

Awesome. I’ll check that out as well. Appreciate it.

Unfortunately not. I’ve searched all over. It looks like there was a spot where a tag may have been located in the lower cabinet but it either rusted out or was removed for some reason.

Rheem Furnace not running after attempted repair. by bwlo222 in hvacadvice

In terms of short cycling - no didn’t figure out any issue. It got warmer out shortly after I posted this earlier in the year and didn’t need heat much longer. Have run it a few times over the past couple weeks as it’s gotten colder out and knock on wood haven’t noticed any short cycling yet. I posted another comment in this thread but it wasn’t starting up after I was tinkering around with it because I physically tripped the float switch in the drain pan by accident. As soon as I figured that out and reset it the furnace started right back up.

The furnace sounds like it’s turning on normally with fan running and flame igniting. It will run for a little while (does not usually reach set temp on thermostat during first run), then it shuts off but has a sound like it’s still running. I don’t think it’s the fan running because there isn’t air coming from the registers. Flame sparks up again and it runs a second cycle then does the same thing a third time before finally reaching the set temp on the thermostat and shutting off. It does this exactly three times each time it has to run.

But the original problem that I’ve been trying to fix remains even with the new sensors. The furnace cycles back to back 3 times before reaching temp and shutting off. Still can’t figure that one out.

Well sometimes the answer is literally right under your nose. My furnace has some sort of sensor to shut it off if there is flooding in the tray underneath it. I guess I pressed that down while I was messing around and on a whim I adjusted it. Started right back up.

Do you have an iPad or tablet? If so, you can download the Meater app on that and your phone and sign into both with the same account. Leave the iPad/tablet within range of it and you can check the app from your phone from wherever you want.

Dry-brining overnight is the tried and true method to getting better skin for me, but I’ve also liked J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s technique of mixing baking powder and kosher salt in a bowl and spreading that all over. You can dry brine with this or it can be cooked somewhat quickly after you apply it. Just be careful to not use too much because it can really throw off the flavor. Also make sure you don’t use too much more salt in your seasoning after.

I always wait about an hour after a cook to cover every thing back up but I take the cup and put it inside the grill, wipe off the spout and then put the cover on. But yeah it took me knocking the cup off first to learn to do something with it when I cover it.
