Product Troubleshooting

BEFORE REPLACING THE CONTROL BOARD
Remove thermostat and use a temporary jumper wire to make a call for heat
Check the supply power for correct polarity
Recheck all wiring to the control board for loose connections. Disconnect and reconnect all Molex plugs
Recheck that the wiring to the control board matches the wiring diagram
If the control board has a fuse, remove and test continuity of the fuse. Do not just do a visual inspection
of the fuse - check continuity
Make sure the pressure switch is not opening during the call for heat cycle
Check limits and rollout switches for an open circuit
Turn the switch on the gas valve to off and then to on several times
Make sure power inducer is running when there is a call for heat
Check for a proper micro amp signal from the flame sensor to the control board. A proper signal is 1-5
micro-amps
Check for proper supply gas pressure. Excessive gas pressure can/will lockup the main valve
Check for limit and/or flame sensor shorts (make sure they are not touching metal)
Check for any moisture on board that may have occurred if checking for gas leaks with a liquid solution.
Check in-line regulators for BTU sizing, and lock up point not above a 14” WC.
Check setting of heat anticipator of t stat if applicable, and wire size and run
Review troubleshooting codes.
Check for any moisture or moisture marks on the board that may have occurred if checking for gas leaks
with liquid solution.
Check in-line regulators for BTU sizing and lock up point not above a 14" WC
Check to make sure external regulator is not right next to the unit so that the regulator "fights" the
regulator inside the combination gas valve.
Check setting of heat anticipator of T-Stat if applicable, also check wire size and run length
