Possible Causes

Partially blocked vent or intake, Incorrect pressure switch for Comfortmaker model, Loose pressure switch wiring, Condensate partially blocking pressure port

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power and gas before servicing. Do not bypass pressure switches.

Steps:

  • Check intake and exhaust (2-pipe systems): Ensure both intake and exhaust PVC pipes are clear and properly terminated. Remove any screens clogged with debris.
  • Inspect pressure switch rating: Verify the part number on the pressure switch matches the Comfortmaker model's specifications. An incorrect switch can cause nuisance faults.
  • Clean pressure ports: Remove tubing and gently clean the ports on the inducer or collector box with a small drill bit or wire.
  • Check condensate routing: Confirm that condensate hoses are not sagging or partially filled with water near the pressure switch port.

When to call a technician: If the code persists after cleaning and inspection, a technician should measure actual draft pressures and replace the pressure switch or correct venting issues.
