Error Code 14
Overheat Limiter has activated. There may be a hot spot on the heat exchanger that has
caused the overheat limiter to fault. At a minimum check the following:
1 Check gas type of unit and ensure it matches gas type being used.
2 Check heat exchanger for cracks and/or separations.
3 Check for foreign material that may restrict airflow through the exhaust flue or terminal.
Error Code 14
