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 Table 13 or the wiring diagram, Figure
34 (page 32) or Figure 36 (page 34) to determine fault
condition.
Are all the LED’s on the motor control board constantly
ON? If not, refer to Table 15 to determine fault condition.
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 Figure 47 (page 51) or Figure 48 (page
52) for component location.
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.
