Hot surface ignitors burn out - they wear through, especially if the furnace cycles on and off a lot.

Will try and find a photo.

If it's not the ignitor, call a tech.
Yes, it's a 311AAV. I've tried using google to help me find a resource for determining the code, but I haven't turned up anything other than generic stuff about the model having a self diagnostic feature. I just haven't found anything that comes up with what the sequence means.

Just curious-if it's the ignitor, is there any possible noise associated with it going bad? Just wondering if there's an explanation for the noise it was giving. It was kind of a squealing noise of sorts, not a real high pitch or very loud, but just one you recognize shouldn't be there.
