Check Safety Controls
The flame sensor, gas valve, and pressure switch were all
checked in the Start
−
up procedure section as part of normal
operation.
1. Check Main Limit Switch
This control shuts off combustion system and energizes
air
−
circulating blower motor, if furnace overheats. By
using this method to check limit control, it can be
established that limit is functioning properly and will
operate if there is a restricted return
−
air supply or motor
failure. If limit control does not function during this test,
cause must be determined and corrected.
a. Run furnace for at least five minutes.
b. Gradually block off return air with a piece of
cardboard or sheet metal until the limit trips.
c. Unblock return air to permit normal circulation.
d. Burners will re
−
light when furnace cools down.
2. Check Pressure Switch(es)
This control proves operation of the draft inducer blower.
a. Turn off 115
−
v power to furnace.
b. Disconnect inducer motor lead wires from wire
harness.
c. Turn on 115
−
v power to furnace.
d. Set thermostat to “call for heat” and wait 1 minute.
When pressure switch is functioning properly, hot
surface igniter should
NOT
glow and control
diagnostic light flashes a status code 3. If hot surface
igniter glows when inducer motor is disconnected,
shut down furnace immediately.
e. Determine reason pressure switch did not function
properly and correct condition.
f. Turn off 115
−
v power to furnace.
g. Reconnect inducer motor wires, replace blower door,
and turn on 115
−
v power.
h. Blower will run for 90 seconds before beginning the
call for heat again.
i. Furnace should ignite normally.
