A CHECKUP CHECKLIST
Your furnace represents an important investment in your family’s comfort and your home’s value. To keep it in tip-top shape and as a preventative
to future problems, have a trained service specialist give your furnace a professional check-up annually. The following checklist can be used
as a guideline to proper service:
•
Inspect all flue gas passages, burners, heat exchangers, and inducer assembly.
•
Inspect all combustion and ventilation air passages and openings, including vent pipe terminations outside the structure.
•
Check gas pipes leading to and inside of your furnace for leaks.
•
Inspect, clean, and lubricate the blower motor and wheel as required.
NOTE
: If oil ports are provided, refer to the unit Service and Maintenance Instructions for blower motor oiling information. The motor must
be oiled by a qualified service technician.
•
Inspect and change or clean air filter(s) if necessary.
•
Inspect all supply- and return-air ducts for obstructions, air leaks, and insulation. Remedy any problem when necessary.
•
Inspect electrical wiring, connections, and components for loose connections.
•
Perform an operational checkout to determine whether your furnace is working properly and if it requires adjustments.
•
Examine the physical support of the furnace; the support should be sound with no cracks, sagging, gaps, etc. around the base.
•
Check the furnace for any obvious signs of deterioration.
•
Your servicing dealer offers an economical service agreement that covers seasonal inspections; ask for details.
BEFORE YOU REQUEST A SERVICE CALL
If your furnace is not operating or not performing properly, you may save the expense of a service call by checking a few things yourself before
calling for service.
FOR INSUFFICIENT AIRFLOW:
•
Check for dirty air filter(s).
•
Check for blocked return-air or supply-air grilles throughout your home; ensure they are open and unobstructed. If problem still exists, call
your dealer for service.
IF FURNACE FAILS TO OPERATE:
Follow this checklist step by step, advancing to the next 1 only if furnace fails to start.
•
Check thermostat for proper temperature (set above room temperature).
•
Is the thermostat set on HEAT?
•
Check fuses and circuit breakers. Is the electrical supply on?
•
Is the manual shutoff valve in gas supply pipe in open position? (Follow start-up procedures if you open gas valve.)
NOTE:
Turn off the electrical power supply before continuing with checklist.
•
Is the switch on gas valve in ON position? (Follow start-up procedures if you must reset knob to ON.)
•
Check the manual-reset flame rollout switch located on the burner assembly. (See Fig. 1.) If the furnace has experienced high temperature
conditions, this switch will shut off the furnace. Reset it by pushing the button on the switch. If it trips again, shut down the furnace and call
for service. See “Shutting Down Your Furnace” section in this manual.
•
Check for obstructions around the vent termination.
If your furnace still fails to operate, call your service representative.
For your convenience, record the product and serial numbers on the form on page 2. Should you ever require service, you will have ready access
to the information needed by the service representative.
