Possible Causes

Blocked flue or chimney on Viadrus furnace, Failed flue gas NTC sensor, Loose flue sensor connection, Incorrect burner adjustment causing high flue temperature

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Switch off power and gas. Do not operate the furnace with a suspected flue blockage due to carbon monoxide risk.

  • Inspect chimney/flue: For Viadrus atmospheric or pressure‑jet oil/gas furnaces, have the chimney or flue inspected and swept by a qualified chimney professional. Look for soot buildup, collapsed liners, or bird nests.
  • Check flue gas sensor: Locate the flue gas NTC sensor mounted in the flue hood or flue pipe. Inspect the cable and connector for heat damage. Reseat the connector.
  • Measure sensor resistance: With power off, disconnect the sensor and measure resistance. Compare to the Viadrus NTC chart. Replace if out of range.
  • Burner tuning: A combustion specialist should check burner settings (gas pressure, air shutter, oil nozzle size) to ensure flue gas temperature and CO/CO₂ levels are within Viadrus specifications.
