detected by the odor.
1. Loose S8600 connections.
2. Cracked or broken sensor ceramic.
3. Check sensor/spark lead for continuity.

term. MV/PV.
1. Vertical run of fl ue is too short.
2. Unit is overfi ring.
3. Air fl ow too low
4. Defective switch.
1. Power venter wheel loose.

4. Motor not properly oiled.
1. Improperly wired venter relay.
2. Main burners not lighting while
thermostat calls for heat.
3. Defective venter relay.
1. Check all connections, term.
PV feeds 24V to pilot valve.
2. Check pressure — pressure that is
either too high or too low may cause
a problem.
3. Spark should arc from electrode.
4. Check pilot line for kinks. Ensure
there are no drafts.
1. Check connections-term. MV feeds
main valve.
2. Replace pilot assembly.
3. Replace if needed.
4. If present, replace main valve; if not,
replace S8600 Igniter.
1. Lengthen vertical run of fl ue pipe
(see venting).
2. Burner orifi ce may be too large:
verify/replace if req'd.
3. Increase air fl ow; check fan size.
Check for proper voltage.
4. Replace.
1. Replace or tighten.
2. Clean power venter wheel.
3. Realign power venter wheel.
4. Oil bearings on power venter motor.
(Refer to label on motor).
1. Check and tighten all wiring connec-
tions per diagrams. Thermostat wires
tagged "W" and "G" must be
connected together (unless special
thermostats are used; if so, see
thermostat wiring diagram). See
electrical connections.
2. Replace motor.
3. Check for 24V across 1 and 3
terminals on fan relay. If 24V is
present, jumper terminals numbered
2 and 4. If motor runs, the relay
is defective and must be replaced.If
24V is not present, check wiring per
diagrams.
1. Be sure venter relay heater terminals
are connected per diagrams.
2. Replace venter relay.
3. Check motor amps against motor
name plate rating, check voltage,
replace power venter motor if
defective.
4. Refer to label on motor.
1. Check all wiring.
2. Refer to H & N symptoms.
3. Replace venter relay.
