Possible Causes
Failed control board relay, Damaged microprocessor, Surge or lightning damage, Corroded board connectors
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before touching the control board or wiring.
- Inspect board visually: Look for burnt traces, swollen components, or corrosion on the Rheem integrated furnace control (IFC) board.
- Check connectors: Reseat all multi-pin plugs and low-voltage connections. Ensure no pins are bent or pushed out.
- Verify proper voltage: Confirm 120V to the board and 24V from the transformer. A failing transformer can mimic board issues.
- Replace board if needed: If power and field components test good but the board still shows an internal fault, replace with the exact Rheem-approved control board model.
Label all wires and take photos before removing the old board to ensure correct installation.
