Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
Furnace won't start	Power, thermostat, gas supply	Check circuit breaker; verify thermostat settings; ensure gas valve is open.
No heat	Pilot/ignition, filter	Check ignition system; replace dirty air filter; verify gas supply.
Insufficient heat	Filter, ductwork, settings	Clean/replace filter; check for blocked ducts; adjust thermostat settings.
Frequent cycling	Thermostat, filter, airflow	Relocate thermostat; clean filter; check for restricted airflow.
Unusual noises	Blower, motor, ducts	Inspect blower wheel; lubricate motor if needed; check for loose ductwork.
Error code displayed	System fault	Refer to error code chart in manual; reset system; call technician if persistent.

Reset: Turn power off for 30 seconds, then restore.
