Message: I have a 1979 Rheem 100000 btu furnace. It has a Honeywell s8610U ignition controller and a White Rodgers 36C68209 gas valve. Electronic ignition. So sometimes the pilot stays on after the main burner shuts off. This causes a flame out of sequence shut down of the main burner. The only way to rectify it is to turn off the gas so the pilot goes out. Then turn the gas back on and turn up the thermostat. All will operate properly until the next time the pilot sticks on. I ordered a replacement valve but was sent a 36H32. I think that was a mistake. The existing valve has 3 spade connectors next to each other ( outer 2 used) and then 2 wires going to the solenoid. These new valves only have the 3 spade connectors and a ground on the case. So how do you connect it to the ignition controller?
Can you buy a replacement solenoid for the old valve?
