Below are key sections for safety procedures, technical specifications, troubleshooting, maintenance, and repair instructions for certified HVAC technicians.
Critical safety measures for furnace repair and maintenance.
| Hazard | Precaution |
|---|---|
| Electrical shock | Disconnect power at breaker before servicing |
| Gas leaks | Use leak detection solution; no open flames |
| Carbon monoxide | Ensure proper ventilation; use CO detector |
| Hot surfaces | Allow furnace to cool before touching components |
| Moving parts | Disconnect power before accessing blower assembly |
WARNING! Only qualified HVAC technicians should perform repairs. Always follow local codes and manufacturer specifications.
Key furnace components and their functions.
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| Control Board | Manages furnace operation and safety controls |
| Gas Valve | Regulates gas flow to burners |
| Igniter | Hot surface ignition for burner lighting |
| Flame Sensor | Detects burner flame presence |
| Pressure Switch | Ensures proper venting operation |
| Blower Motor | Circulates air through heat exchanger |
| Limit Switch | Prevents overheating |
| Inducer Motor | Creates draft for combustion gases |
Proper furnace installation procedures.
CAUTION! Improper installation can cause carbon monoxide hazards and void warranty.
Initial furnace startup and system verification.
Understanding the furnace control board functions and status lights.
Status LED: Flashing patterns indicate system status and error codes
Normal Operation: Steady green light when operating properly
Error Codes: Specific flash patterns for diagnostic troubleshooting
Reset Procedure: Power cycle furnace to clear temporary lockouts
Test Mode: Jumper terminals for component testing
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Corrective Action |
|---|---|---|
| No heat | Thermostat, power, gas supply | Check thermostat setting; verify power; check gas valve |
| Furnace short cycling | Dirty filter, limit switch | Replace filter; check airflow; test limit switch |
| Blower not running | Motor, capacitor, control board | Test motor windings; check capacitor; verify control signal |
| Igniter not glowing | Igniter, control board, wiring | Test igniter continuity; check voltage; inspect wiring |
| Gas valve not opening | Valve, pressure switch, wiring | Test valve coil; check pressure switch; verify wiring |
| Flame sensor error | Dirty sensor, poor ground | Clean flame sensor; check microamp reading; verify ground |
Common error codes and their meanings.
| Flash Pattern | Error Code | Description | Resolution |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Flash | Lockout | Ignition failure | Check gas, igniter, flame sensor |
| 2 Flashes | Pressure Switch | Venting issue | Check vent piping, inducer motor |
| 3 Flashes | Limit Switch | Overheating | Check airflow, filter, ductwork |
| 4 Flashes | Flame Sense | Flame detection | Clean flame sensor, check ground |
| 5 Flashes | Rollout Switch | Flame rollout | Check heat exchanger, venting |
| 6 Flashes | Gas Valve | Valve error | Test valve coil, wiring |
Recommended maintenance procedures and intervals.
Maintenance Tasks: Clean burners, inspect heat exchanger, test safety controls, verify gas pressure, check electrical connections, lubricate motors (if applicable), clean flame sensor, verify airflow.
Common replacement parts and procedures.
| Part | Replacement Procedure | Testing |
|---|---|---|
| Igniter | Disconnect power; remove mounting screws; replace; verify glow | Test for 40-90 ohms resistance |
| Flame Sensor | Remove single mounting screw; clean or replace | Measure 2-10 microamps DC during operation |
| Pressure Switch | Disconnect tubing and wires; remove mounting; replace | Test for continuity when induced draft present |
| Blower Motor | Disconnect power; remove blower assembly; replace motor | Test windings; check capacitor |
| Control Board | Document wiring; disconnect all connections; replace board | Verify input voltage and output signals |
