Possible Causes

Blocked or undersized flue, Excessive burner output, Dirty heat exchanger reducing heat transfer, Faulty fan speed control

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off the furnace and do not operate it until the cause of flue overheating is identified. Risk of flue gas spillage.

  • Check flue terminal: Outside, ensure the Kospel flue terminal is clear of obstructions and meets clearance requirements.
  • Inspect combustion fan and air intake: Verify the fan runs smoothly and the air intake is not blocked.
  • Clean heat exchanger: Have a qualified technician remove and clean the primary heat exchanger and flue passages to restore proper heat transfer.

Because flue gas overheating is a safety issue, further diagnosis (including combustion analysis) must be performed by an authorized Kospel technician.
