    Why does my Reznor Furnace motor turn on and off?
    • S
      Scott PerezAug 6, 2025
      If your Reznor Furnace motor turns on and off while operating, it could be due to: * The motor overload device cycling. Verify the motor load against the motor rating plate. If that's not the issue, replace the motor or overload device. * If it's a three-phase motor, it might be rotating in the opposite direction. Interchange two legs of the supply connections to correct this.

    How to troubleshoot insufficient heat in Reznor Furnace?
    • R
      robinmillerAug 11, 2025
      If your Reznor Furnace isn't providing sufficient heat while operating, consider the following: 1. Dirty filters in the blower system. Clean or replace them. 2. Incorrect manifold pressure. Check the manifold pressure. 3. Limit control cycling on. Check the air throughput. 4. Improper thermostat location or adjustment. Refer to the thermostat manufacturer’s instructions. 5. Belt slipping on the blower. Adjust the belt tension. 6. Fan control improperly wired. Ensure the wiring connections are in accordance with the wiring diagram. 7. Defective fan control. Replace the fan control. 8. Blower set for too low a temperature rise. Decrease blower speed or increase static pressure.

    What to do if pilot lights, but main valve won't open in Reznor RPB Furnace?
    • D
      David HansonAug 19, 2025
      If the pilot light in your Reznor Furnace lights, but the main valve won't open, consider these potential causes: * The manual valve might not be open; ensure it is. * If 24V power is available at the valve connections and the valve remains closed, replace the valve. * Check and tighten all wiring connections. * Ensure that the flame sensor lead is not grounded and that insulation or ceramic is not cracked; replace as required. * Adjust gas pressure. * Replace sensor, if there is cracked ceramic at sensor. * If all checks listed in Spark Ignition System Maintenance section indicate no other cause, replace ignition controller (do not attempt to repair ignition controller, which has no field-replaceable parts). * Adjust pilot regulator due to poor microamp signal.

    What to do if the pilot will not light with venter operating in Reznor RPB Furnace?
    • S
      Spencer RobinsonNov 1, 2025
      If the pilot light on your Reznor Furnace is not lighting even when the venter is operating, there are several potential causes: * The manual valve might not be open; ensure it is. * There could be air in the gas line; bleed the gas line. * The pilot orifice may be dirty; remove it and clean it with compressed air or solvent. * The gas pressure could be too high or too low; adjust the gas pressure. * The pilot tubing might be kinked; replace the tubing. * The pilot valve may not be opening; if 24V power is available at the valve, replace it. * Loose wire connections can be a factor; ensure all wire connections are solid. * Transformer failure; ensure that 24V power is available. * Incorrect spark gap; maintain the spark gap at 7/64 inch. * Spark cable shorted to ground...
