Possible Causes

Incorrect pressure switch setting for Gibson model, Water in pressure tubing, Blocked combustion air intake, Cracked heat exchanger affecting draft

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and gas. Heat exchanger inspection should be done by a qualified technician.

Steps to check:

  • Clear tubing and ports: Remove pressure tubing and clear any moisture. Inspect the port on the inducer housing for rust or blockage and clean gently.
  • Check intake air: For sealed-combustion models, ensure the intake pipe is not blocked and terminates in a clean area.
  • Reset and test: Reconnect tubing, restore power, and call for heat. If the error persists, the pressure switch or heat exchanger/draft conditions need professional evaluation.
