Expert:  Billy replied 403 days and 21 hours ago.

do you mind removing the thermostat top section for a test?

Customer replied 403 days and 21 hours ago.

Are you saying you want me to access the thermostat wiring behind the lcd panel?

Picture
Expert:  Billy replied 403 days and 21 hours ago.

correct....the wire on R and the wire on W and twist these together.

I want to eleiminate items in the circuit anf the first elimination is the thermostat.

So twist r and w together and tell me if exhaust starts

Customer replied 403 days and 21 hours ago.

Done. exhaust is on.

Expert:  Billy replied 403 days and 21 hours ago.

Thank you,

now is the light still solid or flashing?

Customer replied 403 days and 21 hours ago.

Led solid. Flame is on.

Picture
Expert:  Billy replied 403 days and 21 hours ago.

Thank you.

This means the thermostat has batteries that are bad..OR..the thermostat is bad.
R and W just bypasses the thermostat.

Billy

Customer replied 403 days and 21 hours ago.

Thanks Billy! Looks like I need to replace the thermostat, its a Honeywell rth230b. Only a couple of years old but I also replaced the batteries in troubleshooting. I've had intermintent problems for a couple of years but they always seemed to go away after unplugging everything and restarting from go.
