Possible Causes
Partial vent blockage causing marginal draft, Intermittent air pressure switch operation, Weak blower motor, Condensate accumulation in vent
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and gas. Venting issues can be hazardous.
Steps to address AO2 error:
- Inspect entire vent system: Look for low spots where condensate can collect, sagging sections, or partial obstructions.
- Check condensate drains (if applicable): Ensure any condensate drain lines from the vent or heat exchanger are clear and properly pitched.
- Monitor blower performance: Listen for speed fluctuations or surging. Replace blower if it cannot maintain consistent airflow.
- Test air pressure switch: Use a manometer to verify that the switch closes at the specified pressure. Replace if it is slow or intermittent.
Note: AO2 faults that recur after basic cleaning should be evaluated by a professional with combustion test equipment.
