Boiler display shows E14, burner will not light, inducer may not start

Safety: Turn off power and gas. Do not attempt to run the boiler with a non-functioning inducer.

Steps:

• 1. Listen for inducer: On a call for heat, you should hear the inducer start. If it hums or is silent, proceed.
• 2. Inspect inducer assembly: Remove the front panel and locate the inducer. Check for signs of water damage, rust, or debris in the fan wheel.
• 3. Spin test: With power off, try to spin the inducer wheel by hand. It should rotate freely. If stiff or seized, the motor must be replaced.
• 4. Electrical checks: A technician should verify voltage at the inducer terminals when there is a call for heat. If voltage is present but the motor does not run, replace the inducer. If no voltage, the control or safety chain may be open.

Professional repair: Inducer replacement and combustion verification should be performed by a qualified technician.
