TROUBLESHOOTING CHART

Fault Description(s)
Possible Causes
- Manual disconnect switch OFF, door switch open,
or 24 V wires miswired, loose or misconnected wires.
- Blown fuse, or circuit breaker.
- Improper thermostat connection or setting.
- Integrated control module has an
internal fault.
- Failure to establish flame. Cause may be no gas
to burners, front cover pressure switch stuck open,
bad igniter or igniter alignment, improper
orifices, or coated/oxidized or misconnected
flame sensor.
- Loss of flame after establishment. Cause
may be interrupted gas supply, lazy burner flames
(improper gas pressure or restriction in flue
and/or combustion air piping), front cover pressure
switch opening, or improper induced draft blower
performance.
- Induced draft blower pressure switch contacts sticking.
- Shorts in pressure switch circuit.
- Pressure switch hose blocked, pinched, or
misconnected.
- Blocked flue and/or inlet air pipe, blocked drain
system, or weak induced draft blower.
- Incorrect pressure switch set point or
malfunctioning switch contacts.
- Loose or misconnected wiring.
- Insufficient conditioned air over the heat exchanger.
Cause may be blocked filters, restrictive
ductwork, improper circulator blower speed, or
failed circulator blower.
- Loose or misconnected wiring.
- Rollout limit(s) is(are) open due to flame rollout.
Cause may be misaligned burners, blocked flue
and/or air inlet pipe, or failed induced draft blower.
- Loose or misconnected wiring.
- Polarity of 115 V AC power to furnace or
integrated control module is reversed.
- Orange and gray wires to transformer are reversed.
- Poor unit ground.
Corrective Action
- Assure 115 V and 24 V power to furnace and integrated
control module.
- Check integrated control module fuse (3 A). Replace if necessary.
- Check for possible shorts in 115 V and 24 V circuits. Repair as necessary.
- Replace bad integrated control module with known
good control module.
- Locate and correct gas interruption.
- Check front cover pressure switch operation (hose, wiring, contact operation).
Correct if necessary.
- Replace or realign igniter.
- Check flame sense signal. Sand sensor if coated/oxidized.
- Check flue piping for blockage, proper length, elbows, and termination.
- Verify proper induced draft blower performance.
- Replace induced draft blower pressure switch if bad.
- Check for and correct shorted wiring.
- Check and correct pressure switch hose.
- Check flue and/or inlet air piping for blockage, proper length, elbows
and termination. Check drain system.
- Verify proper pressure switch set point and contact motion.
- Check and correct wiring.
- Check filters and ductwork for blockage. Clean filters or remove obstruction.
- Check for proper circulator blower speed and performance. Correct speed or
replace blower if necessary.
- Check and correct wiring.
- Check burners for proper alignment.
- Check flue and/or air inlet piping for blockage, proper length, elbows, and termination.
- Check induced draft blower for proper performance. Replace if necessary.
- Check and correct wiring.
- Review wiring diagram.
- Verify proper grounding.
- Check and correct wiring.
