S-300 Checking Primary Limit Control - Amana GMSS9 Series Service Instructions Manual

SERVICING
Checking Temperature Rise
3. Subtract the return air temperature from the supply air
temperature to determine the air temperature rise. Al-
low adequate time for thermometer readings to stabi-
lize.
4. Adjust temperature rise by adjusting the circulator blower
speed. Increase blower speed to reduce temperature
rise. Decrease blower speed to increase temperature
rise. Refer to Circulator Blower Speed section in the
Product Design section of this manual for speed chang-
ing details. Temperature rise is related to the BTUH out-
put of the furnace and the amount of air (CFM) circu-
lated over the heat exchanger. Measure motor current
draw to determine that the motor is not overloaded dur-
ing adjustments.
