Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
Furnace won't start	Power/thermostat	Check circuit breaker; verify thermostat settings; check gas supply.
No heat	Ignition/pilot	Check for spark at igniter; verify gas valve operation; check limit switches.
Blower doesn't run	Motor/controls	Check blower motor; verify control board signals; check capacitor.
Frequent cycling	Filter/thermostat	Replace dirty filter; check thermostat location; verify proper sizing.
Unusual noises	Components/wear	Inspect blower wheel; check motor bearings; examine heat exchanger.

Reset: Power cycle or use reset button if equipped.
