Clean first, then match rod length and connector style before replacing flame-sense faults.
Match voltage, plug, bracket, and ceramic shape to the furnace model.
Clear tubing, condensate, venting, and inducer issues before replacing.
For PSC blower faults, match microfarad and voltage ratings exactly.
Treat repeat limit trips as airflow or overheating problems before replacing the switch.
Furnace fault codes are usually shown as blinking LEDs, two-digit board codes, or thermostat alerts. This page is your fast lookup hub for the most common furnace brands and the faults technicians see most often: pressure switch issues, limit trips, ignition failures, flame sensing, blower faults, and rollout safety trips.
| Fault Type | What It Usually Means |
|---|---|
| Pressure switch open | Inducer draft problem, blocked vent, condensate issue |
| Limit switch open | Overheating from airflow restriction |
| Ignition lockout | Gas, igniter, or flame sensor problem |
| Flame sense fault | Dirty flame sensor or bad grounding |
| Blower fault | PSC capacitor, ECM module, or airflow issue |
| Rollout switch open | Serious combustion problem, stop and inspect |
| Part | Notes |
|---|---|
| Flame sensor | Cheap and commonly dirty |
| Hot surface igniter | Fragile, common wear part |
| Pressure switch | Check tubing before replacing |
| Blower capacitor | Common on PSC motor furnaces |
| Air filter | Low-cost first fix |
Use the lookup result as a starting point, then confirm the brand, model number, and exact blink pattern before ordering anything. The same flash count can mean different circuits on different furnace boards.
Parts note: Common furnace-code repairs include flame sensors, hot-surface igniters, pressure switches, limit switches, rollout switches, blower capacitors, inducer assemblies, and control boards. Match parts to the furnace model and board revision, not just the error code.
Before ordering, match the furnace part to the model number, electrical rating, and failure symptom. Check current prices on Amazon - prices and availability change frequently.
If the code points to rollout, heat exchanger concerns, gas valve issues, or persistent lockouts after basic cleaning and filter replacement, call a licensed HVAC technician. Some furnace faults are safety issues, not DIY maintenance items.
Read the exact blink pattern or board code, then check the air filter and airflow before replacing electrical parts.
Common ignition-lockout parts include flame sensors, hot surface igniters, pressure switches, and control boards, but gas supply and venting should be checked first.
Rollout faults, suspected heat-exchanger issues, gas valve faults, and repeated lockouts after basic cleaning should be handled by a licensed HVAC technician.
