blower motor is operating; but the "low air light" is not lit. | 3. | Faulty low air switch - replace pressure switch (P/N 86986). |
7. Disconnect closed; blower switch in test position; | 1. | High air switch open - verify pressure drop at burner. |
"firestat", "freezestat", "starter energized" and "low | 2. | Indicator light is burned out - replace bulb (P/N 125189). |
air" lights are lit and the blower motor is operating; | 3. | High air switch option not ordered - verify order/wiring diagram. |
but the "high air light" is not lit. | 4. | Faulty high air switch - replace pressure switch (P/N 86987). |
8. Disconnect closed; blower switch in test position; "firestat", | 1. | Indicator light is burned out - replace bulb (P/N 125189). |
"freezestat", "starter energized", "low air" and "high air" | 2. | Tripped manual reset limit control(s) - reset manual control. |
are lit; but the "limit control normal" light is not lit. | 3. | Faulty manual limit control (s) - replace limit control. |
9. Disconnect closed; blower switch in test position; | 1. | Indicator light is burned out - replace bulb (P/N 125189). |
"firestat", "freezestat", "starter energized", "low air", | 2. | High ambient control option not ordered - verify order/wiring diagram. |
"high air" and "limit control normal" lights are lit; | 3. | High ambient control contacts open - check setting on control. |
but the "ambient (outside air) cutoff normal" light is not lit. |

|
10. Disconnect closed; blower switch in test position; | 1. | Indicator light is burned out - replace bulb (P/N 125189). |
"firestat", "freezestat", "starter energized", "low air", | 2. | Low gas pressure switch option not ordered - verify order/wiring diagram. |
"high air", "limit control normal" and "ambient (outside air) | 3. | Low gas pressure switch contacts open - check setting on control. |
cutoff normal" lights are lit; but the "low gas | 4. | Low gas pressure switch contacts open - check gas pressure. |
pressure normal" light is not lit. | 5. | Faulty gas pressure switch - replace gas pressure switch. |
11. Disconnect closed; blower switch in test position; | 1. | Indicator light is burned out - replace bulb (P/N 125189). |
"firestat", "freezestat", "starter energized", "low air", | 2. | High gas pressure switch option not ordered - verify order/wiring diagram. |
"high air", "limit controls normal", "ambient (outside air) | 3. | High gas pressure switch contacts open - check setting on control. |
cutoff normal" and "low gas pressure normal" lights are lit; | 4. | High gas pressure switch contacts open - check gas pressure. |
but the "high gas pressure normal" light is not lit. | 5. | Manual reset on switch tripped - reset pressure switch manual reset. |
| 6. | Faulty gas pressure switch - replace gas pressure switch. |

12. Disconnect closed; blower and burner switches in run | 1. | Lack of power at L1 on ignition module - ECO blown, find |
position; control switch is in "winter" position; |
| cause then replace ECO. |
"control power", "high gas normal"; "low gas normal"; | 2. | Faulty burner enable relay - replace relay. |
"firestat normal"; "system switch energized"; "starter | 3. | Low stage relay contacts are not closed - check air controller or |
energized" and "freezestat normal" lights are lit; but |
| thermostat setting. |
ignitor is not becoming energized or beginning to glow. | 4. | Faulty low stage relay - replace relay. |
| 5. | Faulty hot surface ignitor - check continuity at the ignition module |
|
| and circuit board. If reading is greater than |
| 6. | Faulty ignition module - replace entire module. |
13. Disconnect closed; blower and burner switches in run | 1. | Ignitor not reaching 1.4A threshold - check voltage and |
position; control switch is in "winter" position; "control power", |
| current to ignitor. |
high gas normal; "low gas normal"; "firestat normal"; "system | 2. | Faulty hot surface ignitor - check continuity, replace ignitor. |
switch energized"; "starter energized" and "freezestat normal" | 3. | Faulty ignition module - replace entire module. |
lights are lit; ignitor glowing but "pilot valve normal" light |
|
|
(thus the pilot valve) is not energized. |
