When it fails, the furnace tries to start and gives up.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"><strong>A flame sensor.<\/strong> A small rod that tells the furnace its burners have lit. When it gets dirty, the furnace can shut itself off.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"><strong>A full condensate drain.<\/strong> High-efficiency furnaces and heat pumps make water that drains away. If the drain or its small pump backs up, a switch can stop the system until it is cleared.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"><strong>A capacitor.<\/strong> A part that helps motors start. On a heat pump, a failed capacitor can keep the outdoor unit from running.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many of those are a single repair, and then the house warms back up.
