g.Flame-sensing electrode.

h.Wiring connectors leading to control.

12.Reconnect vent pipe to relief box.

13.Replace blower door only.

14.Turn power and gas to ON.

15.Set thermostat and check furnace for proper operation.

16.Verify blower airflow and that airflow rate changes between heating and cooling.

17.Check for gas leaks.

18.Replace control door.

WARNING: Never use a match or other open flame to

check for gas leaks. Use a soap-and-water solution. A failure to follow this warning could result in fire, personal injury, or death.

D.Electrical Controls and Wiring

NOTE: There may be more than 1 electrical supply to unit.

The electrical ground and polarity for 115-v wiring must be maintained properly. Refer to Fig. 7 and 8 for field wiring information and to Fig. 9 for unit wiring information. If the polarity is NOT correct, the furnace control will display rapid flashing on the status LED and prevent heat operation. The control system also requires an earth ground for proper operation of the microprocessor and variable-speed motor.

NOTE: Be aware that measurement of current (amperes) and power (watts) for the ICM2+ variable-speed motor will be accurate only when the meter provides true root-mean-square (RMS) measurements.

With power disconnected from unit, check all electrical connec- tions for tightness. Tighten all screws on electrical connections. If any smoky or burned connections are noticed, disassemble the connection, clean all parts and stripped wire, and reassemble properly and securely. Electrical controls are difficult to check without proper instrumentation; therefore, reconnect electrical power to unit and observe unit through 1 complete operating cycle.

The 24-v circuit contains an automotive-type, 3-amp fuse located on the main control. Any 24-v electrical shorts during installation, service, or maintenance could cause this fuse to blow. If fuse replacement is required, use ONLY a 3-amp fuse. The control will display code 24 when the fuse needs replacement.

The control in this furnace is equipped with an LED status light to aid in installation, servicing, and troubleshooting. It can be viewed through the sight glass or window on the blower access door. The control indicates status with the LED on continuously, rapid flashing, or a code composed of 2 digits. (The first digit is the number of short flashes, the second is the number of longs flashes.) Refer to the service label on the blower compartment door for code explanations and useful troubleshooting suggestions. (See Fig. 10.)

It is important to note that power to the furnace must not be interrupted and the furnace blower door must not be removed until the LED status code(es) is recorded. When power to the control is interrupted, the status memory is erased.

The control will store up to 5 previous codes but will not store non-current codes longer than 48 hr. To retrieve previous codes, if present, no thermostat inputs to the control must be present and all time delays must expire. Remove 1 of the red main limit wires 1 to 4 sec until the LED light goes out, then reconnect it. (See Fig. 4.) (Do not leave red wire disconnected for longer than 4 sec as the control will assume an overtemperature condition exits and will respond with indoor blower operation.) This places the control in the status recall mode and displays the first code stored in memory. Record the code and repeat the disconnect and reconnect of the red wire, recording each code until code 11 is displayed indicating no additional faults. After the last code is displayed or after 2 minutes in the code recall mode, the control will return to normal standby mode.

Use any recorded status codes, the service label, and the trouble- shooting diagram on the following pages to diagnose and correct any problem condition.

E.Troubleshooting

Refer to the service label. (See Fig. 10.) Page 9 contains a troubleshooting guide. This guide can be a useful tool in isolating furnace operation problems. Beginning with the word "Start," answer each question and follow the appropriate arrow to the next item.

The guide will help to identify the problem or failed component. After replacing any component, verify correct operation sequence. More information is available in a separate Troubleshooting Guide for 2-stage gas-fired induced-combustion furnaces.
