Tripped or defective safety device, gas valve set on pilot, bad transformer. Don`t kill yourself looking for the aquastat. That is a boiler control and your furnace does not have one.

How will you know your pilot in the furnace is on?
You sould be able to see it either in the open or through a sight glass. If you have a continious pilot you just look at the burner where the furnace is open. Higher efficiency furnaces have an intermitent pilot that is only light when it is needed to light the main burner. And some do not have pilots at all and an ignightor lights the burner directly.

The gas furnace pilot (flame is lit all the time) is sometimes referred to as a pilot light, but no matter what you call it, its purpose is to serve as a small ignition flame for the gas burner.
