• Furnace fails to operate. • Integrated control module diagnostic LED provides no signal. |
NONE |
• No 115 volt power to furnace, or no 24 volt power to integrated control module. • Blown fuse or circuit breaker. • Integrated control module has an internal fault. |
• Manual disconnect switch OFF, door switch open, or 24 volt wires improperly connected or loose. • Blown fuse or circuit breaker. • Integrated control module has an internal fault. |
• Assure 115 and 24 volt power to furnace integrated control module. • Check integrated control module fuse (3A). Replace if necessary. • Check for possible shorts in 115 and 24 volt circuits. Repair as necessary. • Replace bad integrated control module. |
• Turn power OFF prior to repair. • Replace integrated control module fuse with 3A automotive fuse. • Read precautions in “Electrostatic Discharge” section of manual. |

• Furnace fails to operate. • Integrated control module diagnostic LED is flashing ONE (1) flash. |
1 1 FLASH |
• Furnace lockout due to an excessive number of ignition “retries” (3 total)1. |
• Failure to establish flame. Cause may be no gas to burners, front cover pressure switch stuck open, bad igniter or igniter alignment, improper orifices, or coated/oxidized or improperly connected flame sensor. • Loss of flame after establish- ment. Cause may be interrupted gas supply, lazy burner flames (improper gas pressure or restriction in flue and/or combustion air piping), front cover pressure switch opening, or improper induced draft blower performance. |
• Locate and correct gas interruption. • Check front cover pressure switch operation (hose, wiring, contact operation). Correct if necessary. • Replace or realign igniter. • Check flame sense signal. Sand sensor if coated and/or oxidized. • Check flue piping for blockage, proper length, elbows, and termination. • Verify proper induced draft blower perfor- mance. |
• Turn power OFF prior to repair. • Igniter is fragile, handle with care. • Sand flame sensor with emery cloth. • See “Vent/Flue Pipe” section for piping details. |
|
• Furnace fails to operate. • Integrated control module diagnostic LED is flashing TWO (2) flashes. |
2 2 FLASHES |
• Pressure switch circuit is closed. • Induced draft blower is not operating. |
• Induced draft blower pressure switch contacts sticking. • Shorts in pressure switch circuit. |
• Replace induced draft blower pressure switch. • Repair short. |
• Turn power OFF prior to repair. • Replace pressure switch with proper replacement part. |
|
• Induced draft blower runs continuously with no further furnace operation. • Integrated control module diagnostic LED is flashing THREE (3) flashes. |
3 3 FLASHES |
• Pressure switch circuit not closed. • Induced draft blower is operating. |
• Pressure switch hose blocked, pinched or connected improperly. • Blocked flue and/or inlet air pipe, blocked drain system, or weak induced draft blower. • Incorrect pressure switch setpoint or malfunctioning switch contacts. • Loose or improperly connected wiring. |
• Inspect pressure switch hose. Repair, if necessary, • Inspect flue and/or inlet air piping for blockage, proper length, elbows, and termination. Check drain system. Correct as necessary. • Correct pressure switch setpoint or contact motion. • Tighten or correct wiring connection. |
• Turn power OFF prior to repair. • Replace pressure switch with proper replacement part. |
1 Integrated control module will automatically attempt to reset from lockout after one hour.
2 LED Flash code will cease if power to the control module is interrupted through the disconnect or door switch.
