Misaligned spark electrodes.

Check flame ignition and sensor electrode positioning. Adjust as needed.

No gas at main burners.

Check gas line for air purge as necessary. After purging gas line of air, allow gas

 

 

to dissipate for at least 5 minutes before attempting to relight unit.

 

 

Check gas valve.

 

Water in gas line.

Drain water and install drip leg to trap water.

 

No power to furnace.

Check power supply, fuses, wiring, and circuit breaker.

 

No 24 v power supply to control circuit.

Check transformer. Transformers with internal overcurrent protection require a

 

 

cool-down period before resetting. Check 24-v circuit breaker; reset if neces-

 

 

sary.

 

Miswired or loose connections.

Check all wiring and wirenut connections.

 

Burned-out heat anticipator in thermostat.

Replace thermostat.

 

Broken thermostat wires.

Run continuity check. Replace wires, if necessary.

Inadequate Heating.

Dirty air filter.

Clean or replace filter as necessary.

 

Gas input to unit too low.

Check gas pressure at manifold. Clock gas meter for input. If too low, increase

 

 

manifold pressure or replace with correct orifices.

 

Unit undersized for application.

Replace with proper unit or add additional unit.

 

Restricted airflow.

Clean filter, replace filter, or remove any restrictions.

 

Blower speed too low.

Use high speed tap, increase fan speed, or install optional blower, as suitable

 

 

for individual units, Adjust pulley.
