Troubleshooting the Pressure Switch in a Gas Furnace!

Рет қаралды 34,009

Күн бұрын

In This HVACR Training Video, We Diagnose a Gas Furnace Pressure Switch by Reading the Voltage Across the Switch and the Negative Water Column Pressure to see if the Pressure Switch is Open or Closed and Why the Error Code Exists. We use a Digital Multimeter and a Digital Dual Water Column Manometer for Troubleshooting. Supervision is needed by a licensed HVACR Tech while doing this as Experience and Apprenticeship garners Wisdom and Safety.

For new technicians this is the gentleman that you have to pay attention it will teach you all kinds of stuff and believe me you got to have a little patient and down the road you going to be just fine he's got a lot of knowledge to share with you guys. Craig well done as allways.

You can tell an instructor from a KZfaq service Technician. A technician will usually slip in something bad about Goodman, because Goodman doesn’t pay companies incentives like some other brands. An instructor will teach you that if you install a system correctly, they are all good

Thank you for your great content & sharing your expertise with us. But 1 question I have that I've wondered is, say the furnace goes through its sequence and starts heating. What if the pressure switch opens back up after it's already started heating, will the system shut back down or will it wait until next start up cycle. Thank you so much again.

Hey my friend. I’m still going to purchase a dual manometer but without it the furnace does everything. Cfm on, pressure switch closed, HSI lit, burners on with a flame sensor, then off 4-7 seconds.

@acservicetechchannel 5 жыл бұрын

Sounds like flame rectification, board or pressure switch but you would need to test each function individually, thanks

@fazesenso2864 7 ай бұрын

Hello! I noticed that you had the positive port of the manometer hooked to the - Side of the switch (more of a vacuum ) . And the negative port of the manometer hooked to the + side of the switch that connects to the burner box which is atmospheric. For ur differential. Is that a mistake ? Or does it not matter ??? I’m a new technician out of school and I am constantly running into pressure switch issues and I am trying to really grasp what readings I’m looking at and what readings I should have 100%. So I am not just guessing

Im wondering why on a new install why sometimes priming the drain trap is needed so the pressure switch makes but then the same issue is present when the trap is clogged..🤔

Great video. I've been doing HVAC for a 30 years 33 to be exact and have never had a really good procedure on very tough pressure switch problems. I work for a school district now and don't have to deal with it as much but we still have some furnaces there. How did you figure out it was the induction tube by your pressures that you were reading? Cuz they both right about the same. What I've done in the past is I've just disconnected both the supply in the exhaust and see if it would come on to see if it is the exhaust or intake piping. Real good video and I know it's going to help me in the future but how did you figure that one out by just looking at those pressures that it was the intake?

@acservicetechchannel 5 жыл бұрын

You are right, I just opened up the combustion air inlet and the pressure changed. Also, when the inducer is high enough to allow the pressure switch to close and the intake is just as high then you know the problem is on the intake or heat exchanger side, thanks

@benkuxhouse787 5 жыл бұрын

@@acservicetechchannel how would you know if you had a problem with the heat exchanger looking at those readings?

@greghuber9773 10 ай бұрын

If you can’t suck right , there’s not much air to push ! Like if you put a box fan against a wall , you won’t get much air flow on the outlet !

One small questions . I get the pressure switch hose that runs directly to the inducer . But right here I see it hooks up to the gas valve then goes to the burners to just have a hoe inside the cage burners . ? Why ?! Can you please explain throughly . Thank u

@acservicetechchannel 5 жыл бұрын

That is so that the atmospheric pressure at the burners remain the same as at the gas valve so there is no problems with the flame or at the pressure switch!
