Re: Flashing Code 6

Code 6 = Multiple pressure switch trips during a single call for heat.


Qty Possible Causes:
Bad Pressure Switch
Bad Inducer Motor
Restricted Vent
1 Item Stuck in Inducer Motor


CHECKOUT:

1. Check Operation

  • Start the furnace with a call for heat.
    • Inducer motor should start within 15 seconds.
      • Inducer motor starts & runs normally → Step 2. Check Pressure Switch
      • Inducer Starts + Makes Unusual Noise ⇒ Remove inducer motor and check for Item Stuck In Inducer
        • Inducer but still very loud = Bad Inducer Motor
      • Inducer Does Not Start + Code 3 ⇒ Check for 115V power to inducer.
        • Power but No Inducer = Bad Inducer Motor

2. Check Pressure Switch

  • Use a pressure gauge to check the pressure at the switch.
  • Compare actual pressure to pressure rating on the switch (-.75" typical).
    • Pressure Near or Below Rating = Blocked or Restricted Vent
    • Pressure Well Above Rating + Switch Open = Bad Pressure Switch
