CHECKOUT:

- Check resistance across the two lower black wires.
- Resistance = Freezestat OK
- No Resistance = Freezestat Open
2. Check Blower Operation
- Start the unit with a call for Fan.
- Place a jumper wire between "R" and "G" if the thermostat is not already calling for Fan.
- The fan contactor should energize immediately.
3. Check Fan Contactor
- Check for 24VAC across the Fan Contactor coil.
- No Power = Bad Control Board
- Power Present + Not Engaged = Bad Fan Contactor
- Check for 230VAC across the inlet and outlet sides of the contactor.
- Power In + No Power Out = Bad Fan Contactor
4. Check Blower
- Open the blower access panel and check blower operation and belt/belt tension.
- No Blower Operation ⇒ Turn off power to the unit and check the motor for burnt wiring or open windings.
5. Check Filters/Coil
