Recall I posted about my furnace outage. I chalked it up to restricted in flow pipe. Since then I have had the flame rollout switch trip three more times.
I have been searching for causes of flame rollout in a Natural Gas, Trane XV95, residential furnace. I am hoping Bob or others more knowledgeable or experienced can help build my knowledge.
1. Cracked Heat Exchanger. Everyone on YouTube talks about this. I get it and will check further.
2. Low gas pressure. I have to review my schematics for a low gas pressure switch but the point is the High Temp Rollout Switch is what is tripping. I have my house, my 24x28' garage, and my 32x72' shed all piped to one gas meter and as you know it was -28F. If all three called for gas at once could that trip the flame rollout switch? I cannot visualize what happens. Does the flame wander and hit the flame rollout switch.
3. A lack of combustion air. I think I get it. The flame will follow the oxygen and go upstream to get it if necessary. Correct?
4. Plugged Burner Orfice. ?????
5. Plugged heat exchanger. This is another one the YouTubers like to mention. I guess if the exhaust air is not moving fast enough the flame will seek more oxygen towards the source of the outside air. Correct?
I did get from YouTube what a good healthy flame should look like.
So Bob or anyone else, can you comment further on any of these. Sorry this is off topic, but I do heat my tractors with natural gas. :-)

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
