The following presents the probable causes of questionable
furnace operation and how to fix them. Look through the
observation window in the blower access door and make a
note of the number of flashes in sequence between pauses.
Next, refer to the
DIAGNOSTIC SIGNAL CHART for an in-
terpretation of the signals and to this section for a descrip-
tion.
1. Internal Lockout. If, during a self test cycle, the control
determines an internal fault, the control stops and the
diagnostic light will light continuously. The control
should be replaced.
2. External Lockout. If flame was not sensed during the
first 7 seconds after the gas valve was energized, the
control turns off the gas. There will be a 120 second
delay with the induced draft blower motor energized to
purge the heat exchanger. The ignitor will then be ener-
gized for 27 seconds. The gas valve will be energized on
low stage flow rate. If flame is not sensed in 7 seconds
the gas valve will be de-energized and another purge will
occur. The control will cycle the gas valve a total of
three
tries before it determines it cannot establish measur-
able combustion and enters a locked out state. If flame
is sensed but lost after 10 seconds, the control will recycle
this series of
three tries four more times before locking
out. The diagnostic light code for this problem is one
short flash followed by a longer pause. The control can
be reset and brought out of lockout mode by turning the
thermostat off and then back on. It can also be reset by
turning off the electrical disconnect switch to the fur-
nace for 30 seconds.
Note: The control board will automatically reset two hours
after the lockout occurs. If the furnace frequently has to be
reset, it means that a problem exists that should be cor-
rected.
3. Pressure Switch Stuck Closed. If the control senses
that either pressure switch is closed when the induced
draft blower is off, it waits until the fault is corrected. The
diagnostic light code for this problem is two short flashes
followed by a longer pause. The probable cause is either
a faulty pressure switch or miswiring.
4. Pressure Switch Stuck Open. If, after the induced draft
blower is energized, the appropriate pressure switch
checked does not close, the control will keep the blower
on and wait for the switch to close. The diagnostic light
code for this problem is three short flashes followed by
a longer pause. The probable cause is either: restricted
air intake, restricted flue piping, disconnected hose to
pressure switches, miswiring, or faulty pressure switch.
5. Open Thermal Protection Device. If the primary (high)
limit, auxiliary limit, or rollout limit control opens, the
gas valve is de-energized. Both the induced draft blower
motor and air circulating motor are energized on low heat
speed. The diagnostic light code for this problem is four
short flashes followed by a longer pause.
If the primary or auxiliary limit is open, the probable cause
is either: low conditioned air flow due to dirty filter or high
resistance in duct work, faulty limit, faulty blower, or blower
speed set too low. The primary limit will automatically
reset, while the auxiliary limit control must be manually
reset.
If the rollout limit control is open, the probable cause is
insufficient combustion air, restricted flue passage, or
restricted heat exchanger. The rollout limit control must
be manually reset.
6. Flame Sensed with No Call for Heat. If the control
senses a flame when the gas valve is de-energized it will
run the induced draft blower and air circulator blower con-
tinuously on the low heat speed for each. The diagnostic
light code for this problem is continuous flashing. The
probable cause is either a short to ground in flame sense
circuit or miswiring.
