Carrier Furnace owner manual CHECK-UP Checklist

A CHECK-UP CHECKLIST

Your furnace represents an important investment in your family's comfort and your home's value. To keep it performing properly and to prevent future problems, have a trained service specialist give your furnace a professional check-up annually. The following checklist can be used as a guideline to proper service:

•Inspect all flue gas passages, burners, heat exchangers, coupling box(es), and inducer assembly.

•Inspect all combustion-air and vent piping inside structure and pipe terminations outside the structure.

•Check gas pipes leading to and inside of your furnace for leaks.

•Inspect and clean the blower motor and wheel.

NOTE: The inducer and blower motors are pre-lubricated and require no additional lubrication. These motors can be identified by the absence of oil ports on each end of the motor.

•Inspect and change or clean air filter(s) if necessary.

•Inspect all supply- and return-air ducts for obstructions, air leaks, and insulation. Remedy any problem when necessary.

•Inspect the return-air duct connection(s) at the furnace to ensure it is physically sound, sealed to the furnace casing, and terminates outside the space containing the furnace.

•Inspect electrical wiring, connections, and components for loose connections.

•Perform an operational checkout to determine whether your furnace is working properly and if it requires adjustments.

•Inspect all condensate drain tubes and condensate trap assembly for leaks. The condensate removal system should be cleaned annually by a qualified service agency. Refer to the Service and Maintenance Instructions Guide for further information.

•Examine the physical support of the furnace. Support should be sound with no cracks, sagging, gaps, etc. around the base.

•Check furnace for any obvious signs of deterioration.

Ask your servicing dealer for further details about an economical service contract that covers seasonal inspections.

BEFORE YOU REQUEST A

"SERVICE CALL"

If your furnace is not operating or not performing properly, you may save the expense of a service call by checking a few things yourself before calling for service.

This furnace has a light emitting diode (LED) status code display to aid the installer, service technician, or homeowner while installing or servicing the unit. The LED code can be seen through the view port in the blower access panel.

NOTE: Record the LED status code BEFORE removing the blower access door or turning off 115-v power to the furnace.

See the information booklet inside the main furnace door for a service code legend. See Fig. 31.

For insufficient airflow:

•Check for dirty air filter(s).

•Check for blocked return-air or supply-air grilles. Be sure they are open and unobstructed.

If problem still exists, call your dealer for service.

If furnace fails to operate:

Follow this checklist step by step, advancing to the next stop only if furnace fails to start.

•Check thermostat for proper temperature. Is thermostat set above room temperature?

•Is thermostat set to HEAT mode?

•Check fuses and circuit breakers. Is the electrical power supply switch on'?

•Is the manual shut-offvalve in the gas supply pipe leading to the furnace open'?

NOTE: Turn off electrical supply before continuing with checklist.

•Is control switch on gas valve in ON position'? (Follow start-up procedures if you must reset switch to ON position.)

•Check manual reset rollout switch located on the burner box. See Furnace Components in Fig. 1. If furnace has experienced high temperature conditions, this switch will shut off the furnace. Reset it by pushing the button on the switch. If it trips again, shut down the furnace and call for service. See "Shutting Down Your Furnace" section in this manual.

•Check for obstructions around the vent termination.

If your furnace still fails to operate, call your service representative. For your convenience, record the furnace product and serial numbers on back page. Should you ever require service, you will have ready access to the information needed by your service representative.
