29.

Is inducer blower wheel okay?

—

30.

If possible, replace inducer blower wheel. Otherwise, replace inducer motor assembly.

—

31.

Is there any frost build-up on combustion-air inlet?

—

32.

The problem is caused by reversed vent and combustion-air pipes or some other moist air entering
combustion-air pipe.

—

33.

You have excessive restriction in combustion-air or vent pipe.

—

34.

The problem is either a sag in vent pipe or a clogged drain trap or line.

—

35.

Turn power off and disconnect jumper wire across R and W/W1 thermostat terminals.

—

36.

Turn power on and wait several sec, then jumper R and W/W1 thermostat terminals on furnace con-
trol board.

—

37.

Do you have 24v between connector terminal PL2-2 and Com on furnace control board when fault
occurs?

—

38.

Turn power off.

—

39.

Do you have continuity across terminal PL2-2 and N.O. (Normally Open) contact on low-pressure
switch LPS?

—

→

40.

The ORANGE wire from low-pressure switch LPS to furnace control board is not making good con-
nection or low gas pressure switch LGPS (when used) is open. Check propane line pressure if us-
ing LGPS otherwise repair wire or replace harness.

—

41.

Turn power off and disconnect jumper wire across R and W/W1 thermostat terminals.

—

42.

Connect 1 side of a slope manometer with a tee to collector box pressure tap. Connect other side
with a tee to gas valve air pressure fitting. Refer to pressure check diagram in Appendix C.

—

43.

Turn power on and wait several sec, then jumper R and W/W1 thermostat terminals on furnace con-
trol board.

—

44.

Monitor slope manometer. Does pressure reading appear to be stable when fault occurs?

—

45.

Replace pressure switch assembly. If problem persists, check wiring for an intermittent connection
in low-pressure switch LPS circuit.

—

46.

Check for a sag in vent pipe. If problem persists, replace inducer motor.

—

47.

Do you have 24v between connector terminal PL2-2 and Com on furnace control board?

—

48.

The main harness is miswired.

—

49.

Check Inducer PW line. To do this, disconnect PL7 from inducer motor and connect a DC voltmeter
across terminals PL7-2 BROWN (+) and PL7-10 YELLOW (-) then run COMPONENT TEST by
turning setup switch SW-6 ON. Does voltage across PL7-2 and PL7-10 change between states as
shown below?

• State 1—OFF (-0.1 — 0.1 vdc)
• State 2—LOW (6.0 — 7.0 vdc)
• State 3—HIGH (10.5 — 11.5 vdc)

—

50.

Does inducer motor MTR1 turn on?

—

51.

Do you have less than 90 vac between

1 and

2 on furnace control board?

—

52.

• State 1—OFF (-0.1 — 0.1 vdc)
• State 2—LOW (6.0 — 7.0 vdc)
• State 3—HIGH (10.5 — 11.5 vdc)

—

53.

Make sure wire gage between main fuse box and furnace complies with wire size specification in
Installation, Start-Up, and Operating Instructions.

—

→

54.

Does the fault occur before ignition 45 sec after call for heat?

—

→

55.

Check propane line pressure if using low gas pressure switch LGPS otherwise go to step 41.

Fault Code 33

LIMIT SWITCH FAULT—This fault indicates the limit switch, rollout switch or auxiliary limit switch is open or
unit is operating in high-heat only mode due to 2 successive low-heat limit trips.

STEP

ACTION

YES

GO TO

Turn power off, remove blower access panel, and disconnect R thermostat lead.

—

Turn power on and depress door switch. Use a piece of tape to hold switch closed.

—

Is the fault code flashing?

—

Set thermostat to call for heat or jumper R and W/W1 thermostat terminals.

—

Observe operation of furnace for next 25 minutes.

—

Does fault occur again?

—

Does a different fault occur?

—

Go to page number indicated in Index for fault code flashed.
