How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before adjusting switches or wiring.

Steps:

  • Inspect the CTC blower door safety switch and ensure it is firmly mounted and properly aligned with the door.
  • Adjust the door panel so it fully depresses the switch when closed; add shims if necessary.
  • Check low-voltage wiring connections at the control board for tightness.
  • If the switch is loose internally or intermittent, replace it.
