Hi
I'm having a problem with my Olsen furnace, the pilot light will light and then go out and will keep doing this until I turn off the furnace at the main power shutoff. The burner will not light. I think its the gas valve but i'm not sure. Any help with this would be great

Thanks
John

Probably a contaminated flame sensor. The brains of your furnace needs confirmation of ignition. If it fails to recieve a capcitance change in the sensor then it shuts down and continues to retry ignition. Check this out:
