is working properly.

 

Defective component in appliance after the flue damper.

 

3.

If 24 VAC is not present at the ignition module, look for loose or broken

 

4.

connections between damper and ignition module.

 

If the connections from damper to ignition module seem proper, replace damper

 

 

assembly. If a damper assembly is not available, place the service switch in the

 

 

hold open position. This should keep the damper in the open position and allow

 

 

the customer to have automatic heat, until a replacement damper can be installed.

 

 

 

C. DAMPER ROTATES

Change the entire damper assembly.

CONTINUOUSLY

D. DAMPER STICKS

1. Make sure no screws obstruct the damper blade.

 

2.

Make sure damper pipe assembly is not egg shaped.

 

3.

Make sure damper rod is not rubbing on pipe assembly.

IMPORTANT: DAMPER MUST BE OPEN BEFORE COMBUSTION TAKES PLACE. If all steps have been tried and damper problems persists call State Technical Center at 1-800-821-2017.
