How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before servicing.

Steps to check:

  • Condensate at inducer: For condensing Trane furnaces, inspect the condensate drain at the inducer housing for clogs and clear as needed.
  • Pressure switch tubing: Remove and clear tubing between inducer and pressure switch.
  • Switch test: With power off, test pressure switch continuity; it should be open when inducer is off.
