15.If none of the above correct the error, replace the UCB.
GAS HEAT TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Troubleshooting of components may require opening the electrical control box with the power connected to the unit. Use extreme care when working with live circuits! Check the unit nameplate for the correct line voltage and set the voltmeter to the correct range before making any connections with line termi- nals.
When not necessary, shut off all electric power to the unit prior to any of the following mainte- nance procedures so as to prevent personal injury.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when ser- vicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation, which could cause injury to person and/or damage unit components. Verify proper operation after servicing.
NOTE: To find the Btu input, multiply the number of cubic feet of gas consumed per hour by the Btu content of the gas in your particular locality (contact your gas company for this information - it varies widely from city to city.).
The furnace may shut down on a high temper- ature condition during the procedure. If this occurs, the UCB energize the supply air blower motor until the high temperature limit has reset. Caution should be used at all times as the sup- ply air blower may energize regardless of the room thermostat fan switch position.
On calls for heating, the draft motor operates and the furnace lights but the supply air blower motor does not energize after a short delay (the room thermostat fan switch is in “AUTO” position).
1.Place the thermostat fan switch in the “ON” posi- tion. If the supply air blower motor energizes, go to Step 10.
2.If the supply air blower motor does not energize when the fan switch is set to “ON,” check that line voltage is being supplied to the contacts of the M3 contactor, and that the contactor is pulled in. Check for loose wiring between the contactor and the sup- ply air blower motor.
3.If M3 is pulled in and voltage is supplied at M3, lightly touch the supply air blower motor housing. If it is hot, the motor may be off on inherent protec- tion. Cancel any thermostat calls and set the fan switch to “AUTO”, wait for the internal overload to reset. Test again when cool.
4.If M3 is not pulled in, check for 24 volts at the M3 coil. If 24 volts is present at M3 but M3 is not pulled in, replace the contactor.
5.Failing the above, if there is line voltage supplied at M3, M3 is pulled in, and the supply air blower motor still does not operate, replace the motor.
6.If 24 volts is not present at M3, check that 24 volts is present at the supply air blower motor terminal on the UCB. If 24 volts is present at the UCB termi- nal, check for loose wiring between the UCB and M3.
7.If 24 volts is not present at the UCB supply air blower motor terminal, check for 24 volts from the room thermostat. If 24 volts is not present from the room thermostat, check for the following:
a.Proper operation of the room thermostat (contact between R and G with the fan switch in the “ON” position and in the “AUTO” position during operation calls).
b.Proper wiring between the room thermostat and the UCB.
c.Loose wiring from the room thermostat to the UCB.
8.If 24 volts is present at the room thermostat but not at the UCB, check for proper wiring between the thermostat and the UCB, i.e. that the thermostat G terminal is connected to the G terminal of the UCB, and for loose wiring.
9.If the thermostat and UCB are properly wired, replace the UCB.
