How to troubleshoot Nortron 21B18M that will not turn on?
If your Nortron Furnace won't turn on, check the thermostat, circuit breaker, or fuse. Also, inspect the CONTINUOUS VENTILATION switch, bottom sequencer, and transformer.
Why is my Nortron 21B18M Furnace not producing enough heat?
If your Nortron Furnace isn't producing enough heat, potential causes include defective elements or sequencers, the SEASON SELECT switch being set to the MILD position, safety limits opening due to duct obstruction or dirty filters restricting airflow, a defective or incorrectly wired two-stage or outdoor thermostat, or a lack of enough cold air returns in the house.
Why does the motor in my Nortron Furnace run continuously?
