There are these little pipes that go between enclosed area in furnace
and membrane switches to detect presence of pressure difference between
normal/room and that enclosed area with air/fumes flow.
Other season, there was a burned ash in one of pipes, after burner, I
suppose.
One more season, I gently blew in and out of pipe into membrane switch
to hear it flip. It got unstuck, and continued proper operation.
This season, a pipe had a drop of water in it. Surface tension in a
small radius obvious stopped pressure difference from pushing membrane.
I guess, cleanup includes dusting furnace, and blowing through some
pipes. :) Noting that three events happened over 15 years.
