PROBABLE CAUSES
or current overload
or current overload
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Check combustion blower for signs of excessive heat or high
current drain that may trip thermal or current overload devices.
2. Inspect the inlet to the combustion blower including any
ductwork leading up to the combustion blower for signs of
blockage.
3. Remove the airflow switch and inspect for signs of blockage,
clean or replace as necessary.
4. Measure the airflow switch for continuity with the combustion
blower running. If there is an erratic resistance reading or the
resistance reading is greater than zero ohms, replace the switch.
1. Start the unit. If the blower does not run check the blower solid
state relay for input and output voltage. If the relay is okay,
check the blower.
2. Start the unit. If the blower runs, check the airflow switch for
continuity. Replace the switch if there is no continuity.
3. Remove the air flow switch and inspect for signs of blockage,
clean or replace as necessary.
4. Inspect the inlet to the combustion blower including any
ductwork leading up to the combustion blower for signs of
blockage.
5. Measure for 24 VAC during start sequence from each side of the
switch to ground. If 24VAC is not present refer to qualified
service personnel.
1. Check combustion blower for signs of excessive heat or high
current draw that may trip thermal or current overload devices.
2. Inspect the inlet to the combustion blower including any
ductwork leading up to the combustion blower for signs of
blockage.
3. Remove the airflow switch and inspect for signs of blockage,
clean or replace as necessary.
4. Measure the airflow switch for continuity with the combustion
blower running. If there is an erratic resistance reading or the
resistance reading is greater than zero ohms, replace the switch.
5. Run unit to full fire. If the unit rumbles or runs rough, perform
combustion calibration.
