| Symptom | Possible Cause | Corrective Action |
|---|---|---|
| Furnace won't start | Power, thermostat, gas supply | Check circuit breaker; verify thermostat settings; ensure gas valve is on. |
| No heat | Filter, ignition, gas | Replace dirty filter; check for ignition lockout; verify gas supply. |
| Short cycling | Filter, thermostat, limit switch | Clean/replace filter; check thermostat location; verify proper airflow. |
| Unusual noises | Blower, motor, ductwork | Inspect blower wheel; check motor bearings; examine duct connections. |
| Pilot/ignition issues | Sensor, gas valve, pressure | Clean flame sensor; check gas pressure; verify proper ignition. |
| Poor heating | Filter, airflow, sizing | Replace filter; check registers; ensure proper system sizing. |
Reset: Turn power off for 30 seconds, then restore. Check LED diagnostic codes.
