TROUBLESHOOTING
If the furnace fails to operate check the following:
• Is the thermostat operating properly?
• Are the blower compartment door(s) in place?
• Is the furnace disconnect closed?
• Has the circuit breaker tripped or the control board fuse
burned open?
• Is the gas turned on?
• Are any manual reset switches open?
• Is the filter dirty or plugged?
• Is the flame sensor coated? (Remove and clean with
steel wool.
(Do not use emery cloth or sandpaper!)
• Is there blockage in the condensate drain switch? Also
verify that there is no double trapping of condensate.
• Is the secondary heat exchanger free of debris and
clogs?
• Is evaporator coil clean and free of debris (If applicable).
• Are all the LED’s on the furnace control board constantly
ON? If not, refer to
or the wiring diagram,
or
to determine fault
condition.
• Are all the LED’s on the motor control board constantly
ON? If not, refer to
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The furnace will lock out after 5 failed attempts for ignition
and will try again every hour if the call for heat remains.
• If the Inducer Blower is operating, and items above have
been verified, check the Blower Limit Switch and reset if
necessary. See
• If the furnace operates when the Blower Limit Switch is
reset, contact a qualified service technician to identify
and repair the problem.
• If the furnace still doesn’t operate, check the Flame Roll-
out Switches and reset if necessary.
• If the furnace operates when the Flame Rollout Switch
is reset, contact a qualified service technician to identify
and repair the problem.
