Possible Causes

Persistent ignition failure (igniter, gas valve, flame sensor issues), Control board lockout timer expired, Unresolved combustion air or venting problem

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Multiple failed ignition attempts can lead to unburned gas accumulation. If you smell gas, shut off the gas supply and ventilate the area.

Steps:

  • Reset lockout: Turn off power to the Atlantic furnace for at least 30 seconds, then restore power. This clears the lockout on most models.
  • Observe a start attempt: Call for heat and watch the full sequence: inducer start, pressure switch close, igniter glow, gas valve click, flame ignition, flame sensing. Note at which step it fails.
  • Refer to specific fault: Based on the failure step, follow the relevant procedures for igniter, gas valve, flame sensor, or venting issues (see E01–E04, E07).

Note: If E14 returns after a reset and basic checks, a professional diagnosis is recommended.
