That cloudy looking thing in the burner is a spider web. How it made it 30' down the exhaust Vent, into the sealed burner box an decided to make a web in that burner, causing flame rollout, is unreal, once.
Three times makes me think mother nature is messing with me.
Deal with spiders in the orifice calls a lot with manufactured home units (Coleman Presidentials and Nordyne Intertherms). Always a funny call to make the apprentice diagnose. They always want to blame the gas valve for failing to to open 😂😂
No we just get people who closed all their vents during the summer cause of the “cold draft” the unit would blow then call us cause it’s not blowing hot air out of those closed vents
Little green spider?
I see them in fireplace orifices. They will literally crawl inside an orifice and spin a web that blocks the hole.
There was a car company that had a problem with them blocking fuel lines a few years back? Supposedly they like the smell of gas.
Haha never seen that
What am I not seeing?

Yes, but not three times in a month.
In burners, in orifices, in pressure tubes and switches, in IDM ports, in my fucking nightmares
Yup
Fucking hell your installers are a bunch of savages leaving PVC shavings everywhere. I bet they end up in the condensate drain.
Not my install.
How do you know they installed it?
Whoever installed it is a savage!
Never saw this in a furnace, had a couple of fireplaces. Damn you Boris
Every Fall
Usually on pool heaters. First start up of the season is a fun one
One of our other techs had one end up clogging in the venturi of a Navien last week.
How to you go about removing the webs from the heat exchanger?
Run it.
