SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

PROCEDURES

!

WARNING

FIRE, INJURY OR DEATH HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury,

death and/or property damage.
The ability to properly perform service and maintenance on

this equipment requires certain knowledge, mechanical skills,

tools, and equipment. If you do not possess these, do not

attempt to perform any service and maintenance on this

equipment other than those procedures recommended in the

User’s Manual.

!

CAUTION

ENVIRONMENTAL  HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in environmental

pollution.
Remove and recycle all components or materials (i.e. oil,

refrigerant, control board, etc.) before unit final disposal.

!

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or

death, or property damage.
Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, main

electrical disconnect switch must be in the OFF position and

install a lockout tag.  There may be more than one

disconnect switch.  Lock out and tag switch with a suitable

warning label.  Verify proper operation after servicing.

!

CAUTION

ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in improper furnace

operation or failure of furnace.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls.

Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.

General

These instructions are written as if the furnace is installed in an

upflow application. An upflow furnace application is where the

blower is located below the combustion and controls section of

the furnace, and conditioned air is discharged upward. Since

this furnace can be installed in any of the four positions shown

in 

Figure 6

, you must revise your orientation to component

location accordingly.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or

death.
There may be more than one electrical supply to the furnace.

Check accessories and cooling unit for additional electrical

supplies that must be shut off during furnace servicing.  Lock

out and tag switch with a suitable warning label.

The electrical ground and polarity for 115

v wiring must be

properly maintained. Refer to 

Figure 7

 for field wiring

information and to 

Figure 15

 for furnace wiring information.

NOTE

:  If the polarity is not correct, the STATUS LED on the

control will flash code 10 and prevent the furnace from heating.

The control system also requires an earth ground for proper
operation of the control and flame

sensing electrode.

The 24

v circuit contains an automotive

type, 3

amp. fuse

located on the control. (See 

Figure 3

) Any shorts of the 24

v

wiring during installation, service, or maintenance will cause

this fuse to blow. If fuse replacement is required, use ONLY a

3

amp. fuse. The control LED display will be off when fuse

needs replacing.

Troubleshooting

Refer to the service label. (See 

Figure 14

—Service Label)

The Troubleshooting Chart

 Flow Chart (See 

Figure 16

) can

be a useful tool in isolating furnace operation problems.

Beginning with the word “Start,” answer each question and

follow the appropriate arrow to the next item.
The Chart 

 Flow Chart will help to identify the problem or failed

component. After replacing any component, verify correct

operation sequence.
Proper instrumentation is required to service electrical controls.

The control in this furnace is equipped with a Status Code LED

(Light

Emitting Diode) to aid in installation, servicing, and

troubleshooting. Status codes can be viewed at the sight glass

in blower access door. The amber furnace control LED is either

heartbeat, off or a code composed of 1 or 2 digits. The first digit

is the number of short flashes, the second digit is the number of

long flashes.
