What to do
Check to make sure rugs and carpets are not covering return air
grilles.
Clean or replace air filter, as necessary.
Check supply pipe dampers or registers to balance system.
Replace motor if necessary
Replace bearings if necessary
Clean or replace air filter, as necessary
Check chimney draft. With normal wood fire, chimney should draw
.03 inch water column between furnace and barometric control
Clean if necessary.
Increase chimney height.
Check for obstruction such as loose mortar, bird nests and squirrel
nests. Clean chimney to eliminate obstructions.
Check for obstructions in combustion air inlet. See page 14.
Too cold a chimney will chill flue gases as they rise up the chim-
ney. As this gas cools, it becomes heavy and other gases from the
fire try to penetrate this heavy column of cool air. This results in
back puffing, and may cause odors in your home. Obviously, the
solution lies in improving your chimney.
Make sure chimney clean-out door is tightly closed.
Install separate chimney.
Reset thermostat above room temperature.
Check fuse or circuit breaker. If fuse is blown, replace. If breaker is
tripped, reset. Check to make sure that electrical switch is on.
Baffles in firebox out of place or barometric damper set too high.
Check baffle position, page 6, Fig. 6. Set barometric control to .03
or less.
Recheck field wiring against wiring diagram.
Check 24 Volt side of transformer, check 115 Volt power to trans-
former. Check for burn spot on damper control relay. Replace
board if defective.
Check power to solenoid. Replace if defective.
Clean or replace filter, as necessary.
Check supply pipes or damper positions. Check registers and
grilles to make sure they are not closed or obstructed by carpet,
draperies, furniture or clothing. Remove obstructions.
note
Multiple coats of paint on registers and grilles may reduce the amount of free air opening causing restriction of
air flow and reduction of warm air circulation. Registers and grilles in this condition should be replaced.
