5. Open Limit Control (Primary or Auxiliary)

An open limit control can be caused by a low condi-
tioned air flow due to dirty filter or resistance in duct
work, a faulty blower, a blower speed set too low, or a
faulty limit.

When the limit control opens, the induced draft and air
circulation blowers are turned on. The induced draft
blower will remain on for the first fifteen seconds of this
period. The air circulation blower will remain on until
the limit control is closed. The diagnostic light code for
this is four short flashes followed by a pause.

6. Open Rollout Control

An open rollout control is can be caused by insufficient
combustion air, a restricted flue passage, or a re-
stricted heat exchanger.

The opening of the rollout control signals the air circu-
lation blower and the induced draft blower to turn on.
The air circulation blower will remain on until the limit
is manually reset. The induced draft blower will remain
on for the first fifteen seconds of this period. The
diagnostic light code for this is five short flashes
followed by a pause.

7. Flame Sensed with No Call for Heat

If the control senses a flame when the gas valve is de-
energized, it will run the air circulation blower and the
induced draft blower continuously. The diagnostic light
code for this is continuous light flashing. Probable
cause is miswiring.
