Rapid LED flashing – Line voltage polarity is reversed.
If twinned, refer to twinning kit instructions.
Error Code 1-1 – No previous code
Stored status codes are erased when power to control is interrupted.
Error Code 1-2 – The blower is on after power up
Blower runs for 90 seconds if the unit is powered up during a call for heat.
Error Code 1-3 – Limit or flame roll-out switch lockout
Control will auto-reset after 3 hours. Reset the switch or replace the fuse link.
Error Code 1-4 – Ignition lockout
Control will auto-reset after 3 hours.
Error Code 2-1 – Gas heating lockout
Control won’t auto-reset. Check for either a badly-wired gas valve or a defective control.
Error Code 2-2 – Abnormal flame-proving signal
Flame is proved while the gas valve is de-energized. Check for either a leaky or stuck-open gas valve.
Error Code 2-3 – Pressure switch didn’t open
Check for an obstruction in the pressure tubing or a pressure switch that is stuck closed.
Error Code 2-4 – Secondary voltage fuse is open
Check for a short circuit in the secondary voltage wiring.
Error Code 3-1 – Pressure, draft safeguard, aux-limit switch, or blocked vent switch didn’t close (or reopened, downflow only)
If open for longer than 5 minutes, the inducer will shut off for 15 minutes before retry. Check for: low inducer voltage; proper vent sizing; defective inducer motor; defective blower motor or capacitor; defective pressure switch; restricted vent; excessive wind, inadequate combustion air supply; or obstructed pressure tubing.
Error Code 3-3 – Limit or flame roll-out switch is open
If the switch is open for longer than 3 minutes, the code will change to #1-3. Flame roll-out switch requires manual reset. Check for: defective blower motor or capacitor; dirty filter or restricted duct system; loose blower wheel; faulty switch or connections; or inadequate combustion air supply.
Error Code 3-4 – Ignition proving failure
Control will try three more times before lockout #1-4 will occur. If the flame signal is lost after the trial for ignition period, the blower will come on for a 90 second recycle delay. Check for: build-up on the flame sensor; proper microamp distribution to the flame sensor; defective gas valve or turned off gas valve; faulty hot surface ignitor; low inlet gas pressure; the manual valve is shut-off; continuity of control ground; low flame carryover or rough ignition; ungrounded flame sensor.
