Concord 90 plus high efficiency furnace

For past few days home temperature drops down approx 6-7C degrees at night so I checked the furnace which gives me sometimes (6) LED signals other times (3) LED signals. I followed the back panel instructions also drain out water from tube connecting to motor and restart, however each time it lasts for an hour or so and dies out again for next cycle. Please advise..Thx

clear out the line thats stopped up,,the condensation is suppose to be draining away and out,,,then it won`t build up in your system

Comments on this post
pattilaw : This worked, we drained the tube and the furnace came back on. Although, the tube keeps filling up and then it shuts off again, we have to figure out a way to make it keep draining.

And don't try to devise a clever system whereby you use the furnace condensate to irrigate your indoor garden...it won't be pretty...

How do I take the water or codensation out? isn't it suppose to evaporate by itself. I have been draining out manually by removing yellow nipples, however it builds up up again? Somebody ......Please help

you need to connect a drain line to it so that it can constantly drain while in operation.

whoever installed your furnace was suppose to install a drain system so the condensation would drain out either into a floor drain or into a condensation pump that would then pump the water away,,,if you don`t have this you need a hvac tech to take care of the prob. that the installer didn`t do right

Past 6 years I never had connected any additional drain. Do I need one now? My understanding is that the condensation is blown out by vent motor air pressure...out of the house...Please correct if I'm wrong
