FURNACE MOUNTED HORIZ IN ATTIC. LP FUEL. MANUFACTURE DATE 1996. NEW FLAME SENSOR. TOP TWO BURNERS IGNITE, THEN MOST TIMES GOES OUT PRIOR TO BOTTTOM TWO BURNERS IGNITING. IF ALL FOUR BURNERS DO IGNITE IT WILL CONTINUE WORK PROPERLY UNTIL DESIRED TEMP IS REACHED. IF THE FLAME GOES OUT IT WILL TRY AGAIN IN 30 OR 40 SECONDS SOMETIMES IT WILL TAKE 2 TO 3 ATTEMPTS BEFORE WORKING PROPERLY. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANX.

Did you have the heater cleaned by a professional? It sounds like you need to have the heater cleaned to remove any blockages. Good luck!

Yes, I would advise the same, get a repair person in immediately, especially if you’re unfamiliar with furnace operation.

It sounds like the burners probably need cleaned and the gas pressure checked and adjusted. This will require a professional.
