Possible Causes

No call for heat from thermostat, Open thermostat circuit, Failed thermostat, Control board firmware lockup

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps to check:

  • Verify thermostat settings: Ensure the thermostat is set to HEAT and the setpoint is above room temperature. Replace batteries if applicable.
  • Check thermostat wiring: At the furnace, verify the W (heat call) wire is securely connected. Jumper R to W at the furnace terminal strip to simulate a call for heat. If the furnace starts, the thermostat or its wiring is faulty.
  • Power cycle: Turn off power to the furnace for 30 seconds, then restore. This can clear minor control board lockups.

When to call a professional: If the furnace does not respond to an R-W jumper, the integrated furnace control board or safety circuits may be faulty and should be diagnosed by a technician.
