A gas furnace that's on the fritz as a result of the pilot light being out means your home isn't getting the kind of heat it needs. Before you grab your phone and call a repairman, try resetting the furnace yourself. This do-it-yourself attempt at troubleshooting your furnace issues can ultimately save you the money it would have cost a repairman to do the same thing. There's no toolbox necessary, but you will need to know the location of the reset and power buttons on your furnace.
Check to see that it is the pilot light that is out. You may need to remove a cover panel to get a good look at the flame.
Turn down the room thermostat to its lowest setting.
Turn off the power to your furnace at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
Turn off the furnace's main gas supply using the handle on the main gas pipe that leads into the furnace. Leave the furnace's pilot gas supply line on.
Light a match. Hold it at the opening of the pilot flame jet that is inside the furnace to re-light the pilot flame.
Turn the power back on and then the main gas supply.
Locate the reset button. It is labeled, sometimes in red. Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds.
Raise the thermostat to your desired room temperature. This will ignite the furnace.
Warning
If resetting the furnace doesn't work, shut the furnace off and call a professional.

Carrier Fuse Replacement
Manual Reset Relay
ATC Circuit breakers are designed to replace ATC fuses in most applications. The base of the circuit breaker is shaped like an ATC fuse so it will fit into existing fuse blocks and fuse holders. The ATC circuit breakers are about twice as tall as a regular fuse, so make sure that height is not an issue before using them. ATC circuit breakers are available as Type1, Type 2, and Type 3, In an overload condidion, Type 1 auto reset will cycle the circuit breaker until the overload condition is removed. Type 2 modified reset will keep the circuit breaker tripped until the overload condition is removed. Type 3 manual reset thermal non-cycling circuit breakers will remain tripped until the operator resets the circuit by pushing a button that pops out and is located on top of the circuit breaker. Type 1 and Type 2 circuit breakers are for use with 12 volt circuits only. Type 3 circuit breakers can be used with both 12 volt and 24 volt electrical circuits. Manufactured by Cooper Bussmann.
