How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before removing panels.

Steps:

  • Replace filter: Install a new filter of the correct size and MERV rating.
  • Check registers: Ensure all supply and return registers are open and unobstructed.
  • Verify blower speed: On PSC models, confirm the heating speed tap is set correctly on the control board per Keeprite documentation.
  • Inspect burners: Look for uneven or small flames; if present, have burners cleaned and gas input checked by a technician.

Gas input and combustion checks must be done professionally.
