See that orange plate in the middle? I did (through sheer stubborness) manage to troubleshoot that that was the cause of the problem. It's called an open flame roll-out switch and it had gotten stuck in the off position. It's suppose to trigger when the furnance gets to a particular temperature so that it doesn't overheat. In our case, the repairman (buttcrack hanging out of jeans included for no extra charge) used his special furnance repair wrench to remove that orange switch. He then proceeded to tap it with a pen to close the switch, and wala! the furnace roared back on and our house at least got up to a cozy 60 degrees.
