page 8 for wire wrapping method.
Furnace/air handler not running Turn blower on by making a heat call or turning Fan ON.
Light ashes on then
off quickly
Over current or arcing detected
Ensure components are dry.
Excessive humidity - run cooling to lower humidity levels.
Ensure that all 9 ionizer wires are held at both ends.
Look for foreign object contacting ionizer wires or buss bar.
Door not fully installed - ensure door is latched into top and bottom retainer.
Insufcient current to sustain
Model 51 relay
Wrap blower common wire around relay bracket more. See FIGURE 12 on
page 8 for wire wrapping method.
