Status
Fault Description Corrective Actions
Normal operation Normal operation None
Locate and correct gas interruption
Replace or realign igniter
Check flame sense signal, clean sensor if coated or
oxidized
Check flue piping for blockage, proper length, elbows, and
termination
Verify proper induced draft blower performance
Pressure switch circuit is closed at start of
heating cycle
Pressure switch contacts sticking
Short in pressure switch circuit wiring
Pressure switch circuit is not closed
Pressure switch hose blocked pinched, or
connected improperly
Inspect flue piping for blockage, proper
length, elbows, and termination
Check induced draft blower performance, correct as
necessary
Incorrect pressure switch set point or
malfunctioning switch contacts
Check pressure switch operation, replace as needed
Loose or improperly connected wiring Tighten or correct wiring connection
Primary limit circuit is open
Check filters and ductwork for blockage Clean filters or
remove obstruction
Insufficient conditioned air over the heat
exchanger
Check circulator blower speed and performance
Blocked filters, restrictive ductwork, improper
circulator blower speed, or failed circulator
blower motor
Correct speed or replace blower motor if necessary
