Leaking or defective vent valve.
(Check for water leaking from
condensing coil spout)
Perform: Vent Valve Test
Clean / Replace vent valve.

to leads should have line voltage in
test mode)
Replace Main PC board.
Perform: Main PC Board Relay Test
(Check TP1 & TP2 for an acceptable range:
10 to 14 VDC)
Perform: Main PC Board Pressure
Transducer Voltage Test
(Acceptable range: 4.0 to 6.0 VDC)
