I recently had the inducer motor replaced when it burnt out but I am having issues again. The inducer motor keeps running and won't stop until the whole system shuts down.
Let me correct myself. I actually am reading about 26 V on the terminals of the pressure switch. The voltage on the pressure switch and high limit switch is 26V for most of the time but at some point I watched it race up to 50V and then I think the switch cutoff. Also, I assume the inducer motor should shutoff at some point in the heat cycle (so lets say a min or so) instead of being on for 10 minutes and then shutting down with the rest of the system. It shuts off before reaching the set temperature.
I am also getting some error codes but it seems to be different every single time. When the burners shut off I have gotten a code for
-normally open pressure switch contact did not close at the beginning of the heat cycle
-primary or auxiliary switch has opened its normally closed contacts
Then after it shutsdown I have gotten the following errors:
-pressure switch opened 4 time during the call for heat
I think it might be a problem with the condensate drain but have had no luck fixing it. There is a place just above where three condesation lines meetup in some plastic piece and then into a drain pipe out of the furnace. Inside this plastic piece, the center input doesn't drain like the other input lines but I am not sure if this is a problem or that is design (I can't take the piece apart). Either way I have tried to clear all the passages using my shop vac but still no luck.
My other guesses is it would be either the control board or the pressure switch needs to be changed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
