Fault Description(s)

Symptoms of Abnormal

Operation

4

4 FLASHES

Associated

LED Code

2

• Circulator blower runs

continuously. No furnace
operation.

• Integrated control module

diagnostic LED is flashing
FOUR (4) flashes.

7

7 FLASHES

• Normal furnace

operation.

• Integrated control

module diagnostic LED
is flashing SEVEN (7)
flashes.

• Furnace fails to operate.

• Integrated control module

diagnostic LED is flashing
continuously.

C

CONTINUOUS

FLASHING

• Primary limit

circuit is open.

• Polarity of 115

volt power is
reversed.

• Flame sense

microamp signal is
low.

• Insufficient conditioned air

over the heat exchanger.
Blocked filters, restrictive
ductwork, improper
circulator blower speed,
or failed circulator blower.

• Flame rollout.

• Misaligned burners,

blocked flue and/or air
inlet pipe, or failed
induced draft blower.

• Loose or improperly

connected wiring.

Possible Causes

Corrective Action

Cautions and Notes

• Check filters and

ductwork for blockage.
Clean filters or remove
obstruction.

• Check circulator blower

speed and performance.
Correct speed or replace
blower if necessary.

• Check burners for proper

alignment.

• Check flue and air inlet

piping for blockage,
proper length, elbows,
and termination. Correct
as necessary.

• Check induced draft

blower for proper
performance. Replace, if
necessary.

• Tighten or correct wiring

connection.

• Turn power OFF

prior to repair.

• See Product Data

Bulletin for
allowable rise
range and proper
circulator speed.

See “Vent/Flue
Pipe” section for
piping details.

• Replace pressure

switch with proper
replacement part.

• Polarity of 115 volt AC

power to furnace or
integrated control module
is reversed.

• Poor unit ground.

• Flame sensor is coated/

oxidized.

• Flame sensor incorrectly

positioned in burner
flame.

• Lazy burner flame due to

improper gas pressure or
combustion air.

• Review wiring diagram to

correct polarity.

• Verify proper ground.

Correct if necessary.

• Check and correct wiring.

• Sand flame sensor is

coated/oxidized.

• Inspect for proper sensor

alignment.

• Check inlet air piping for

blockage, proper length,
elbows, and termination.

• Compare current gas

pressure to rating plate
info. Adjust as needed.

• Turn power OFF

prior to repair.

• Turn power OFF

prior to repair.

• Sand flame

sensor with
emery clot.

• See “Vent/Flue

Pipe” section for
piping details.

• See rating plate

for proper gas
pressure.

• 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.

9

9 FLASHES

• Furnace not operating.

• Integrated control module

diagnostic LED is flashing
EIGHT (8) flashes.

• Furnace operating on

low stage gas with high
stage induced draft blower

• High stage circulator

blower (temperature, of
conditioned air, lower than
typical).

• Integrated control module

diagnostic LED is flashing
NINE (9) flashes.

8

8 FLASHES

• High stage

pressure switch
circuit does not
close in response
to high stage
induced draft
blower operation.

• Problem with

igniter circuit.

• Improperly

connected igniter

• Bad igniter

• Poor unit ground

• 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.

• Check and correct wiring

from integrated control
module to igniter

• Replace bad igniter

• Check and correct unit

ground wiring

• Turn power OFF

prior to repair.

• Replace igniter

with proper
silicon nitride
replacement part.

• Turn power OFF

prior to repair.

• Replace pressure

switch with
proper
replacement part.

• Integrated control module

diagnostic LED is flashing
FIVE (5) times.

• Induced draft blower and

circulator blower run
continuously. No furnace
operation.

• Flame sensed with

no call for heat.

• Correct short at flame

sensor or in flame
sensor wiring.

• Check for lingering

flame

• Verify proper operation

of gas valve

• Short to ground in flame

sense circuit.

• Lingering burner flame.

• Slow closing gas valve

• Turn power OFF

prior to repair.
