SYMPTOMS

 

POSSIBLE CAUSE(S)

 

CORRECTIVE ACTION

 

 

 

 

I. Burners will not shut off.

1. Thermostat located incorrectly.

1.

Relocate thermostat away from outside

 

 

 

 

wall or drafts.

 

2.

Improper thermostat wiring.

2.

Check thermostat circuit for open and close

 

 

 

 

on terminal strip on heater “R” and “W”.

 

3.

Shorted circuit.

3.

Check thermostat circuit for shorts “staples

 

 

 

 

piercing wires”.

 

4.

Defective sticking gas valve.

4.

Check for 24v on gas valve terminals when

 

 

 

 

thermostat is not calling.

 

5.

Excessive gas supply pressure.

5.

Refer to “Installation”.

 

 

 

 

J. Rapid burner cycling.

1. Loose electrical connections at thermostat

1.

Tighten all electrical connections.

 

 

or gas valve.

2.

Adjust heat anticipator setting for longer

 

2.

Excessive thermostat heat

 

cycles. Refer to “Electrical Connections”.

 

 

anticipator setting.

3.

Check for proper air supply across heat

 

3.

Unit cycling on high limit.

 

exchanger and proper gas supply.

 

4.

Poor thermostat location.

4.

Relocate thermostat .

 

 

 

 

K. Noisy power ventor.

1. Power ventor wheel loose.

1.

Replace or tighten.

 

2.

Power ventor wheel is dirty.

2.

Clean power ventor wheel.

 

3.

Power ventor wheel is rubbing on the housing.

3.

Realign power ventor wheel.

 

 

 

 

L. Fan will not run.

1. Loose electrical connections.

1.

Check and tighten wires on fan circuit.

 

2.

Defective motor or overload.

2.

Test for 115v on terminal ACB Heat and

 

 

 

 

“L2” if voltage is present replace motor.

 

3.

Defective control board.

3.

Test for 115v on terminal ACB Heat and “L2”

 

 

 

 

on the control board, if voltage is not present

 

 

 

 

45 seconds after trial for ignition replace

 

 

 

 

board.

 

 

 

 

M. Fan motor turns on and off

1. Motor overload protection is tripping.

1.

Check motor amps against motor name

while burner is operating.

 

 

 

plate, check voltage, replace if found defective.

 

2.

Loose wiring or connection.

2.

Check for 115v between motor leads.

 

3.

Control board is defective.

3.

Check terminal ACB Heat for voltage if

 

 

 

 

voltage not constant, replace board.

 

 

 

 

N. Fan will not stop.

1. Control Board is in flame failure mode.

1.

Turn 115v power off to the unit, wait 10

 

 

 

 

seconds and reapply voltage to the unit.

 

2.

Fan improperly wired.

2.

Check wiring of fan circuit to wiring diagram.

 

3.

Defective board.

3.

If unit is not calling for heat and board is not

 

 

 

 

in a flash code mode, replace board.

 

 

 

 

O. Not enough heat.

1. Incorrect gas input.

1.

Refer to “Operation”.

 

2.

Heater undersized.

2.

Is the heater output sized correctly for

 

 

 

 

heat loss of the space. Has the space

 

 

 

 

been enlarged.

 

3.

Thermostat malfunction.

3.

Check thermostat circuit, 24v on terminals

 

 

 

 

“R” and “W” on terminal strip.

 

4.

Heater cycling on limit.

4.

Check air movement across heat exchanger.

 

 

 

 

Check voltage and amps at the fan motor.

 

 

 

 

Check gas input to ensure unit is not over

 

 

 

 

fired. Check heat exchanger to ensure unit

 

 

 

 

is not dirty.

 

5.

Incorrect orifice sizes.

5.

Check orifice size, replace if undersized.

 

 

 

 

P. Too much heat.

1. Unit is over fired.

1.

Refer to “Operation”. Check orifice size.

 

 

 

 

If too big replace.

 

2.

Thermostat malfunction.

2.

Check thermostat for operation, to ensure

 

 

 

 

circuit open and closes.

 

3.

Heater runs continuously.

3.

Check wiring per diagram; check

 

 

 

 

operation at the gas valve, look for

 

 

 

 

a short in thermostat circuit.
