1

External lockout (exceeded retries)

Failure to sense flame is often caused by carbon deposits on

 

 

the flame sensor, a disconnected or shorted flame sensor lead

 

 

or a poorly grounded furnace. Carbon deposits can be cleaned

 

 

with emery cloth. Verify sensor is not contacting the burner

 

 

and is located in a good position to sense flame. Check sensor

 

 

lead for shorting and verify furnace is grounded properly. Verify

 

 

gas supply to valve, gas valve in "On" position and appliance

 

 

lighting properly. Verify flame reaches flame sensor during

 

 

ignition attempts and gas pressures are correct.

 

 

 

 

2

Pressure switch stuck closed

Pressure switch stuck closed. Check switch function, verify

 

 

inducer is turning off. Refer to wiring diagram, terminals PSI /

 

 

PSO.

 

 

 

 

3

Pressure switch stuck open

Check pressure switch function and tubing. Verify inducer is

 

 

turning on and pulling sufficient vacuum to engage switch.

 

 

Refer to wiring diagram, terminals PSI / PSO.

 

 

 

 

4

Open high temperature limit switch

Verify continuity through limit switch circuit. Refer to wiring

 

 

diagram terminals, HLI / HLO.

 

 

 

 

5

Flame sensed with gas valve de-energized

Verify the gas valve is operating and shutting down properly.

 

 

Flame in burner assembly should extinguish promptly at the

 

 

end of the cycle. Check orifices and gas pressure.

 

 

 

 

6

Open rollout switch

Verify continuity through rollout switch circuit. Refer to wiring

 

 

diagram terminals, RO IN / RO OUT.

 

 

 

 

7

Low flame sense current

Low flame sense current is often caused by carbon deposits on

 

 

the flame sensor, a poorly grounded furnace or a mis-aligned

 

 

flame sense probe. Carbon deposits can be cleaned with

 

 

emery cloth. Check or improve furnace and module ground.

 

 

Verify sensor is located in or very near flame as specified

 

 

by the appliance manufacturer. Refer to wiring diagram FS

 

 

terminal and GND.

 

 

 

 

8

Ignitor relay fault

This flash code does not indicate a broken, disconnected or

 

 

shorted ignitor. It indicates the ignitor relay contacts on the

 

 

ignition module are not functioning properly. Replace the

 

 

ignition module.

 

 

 

 

Rapid Flash

Reversed polarity

Verify the control and furnace are properly grounded. Check

 

 

and reverse polarity (primary or secondary) if incorrect.

 

 

 

 

Continuous

Normal operation

No fault

On

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Off

Control failure

Verify power to the control, replace control if power is at the

 

 

control and no lit Red LED
