First of all I want to thank these forums for helping my family get heat tonight. I woke up at about 3am knowing something was wrong. Sure enough the heater wasn't heating.
After looking over the heater myself and seeing a red blinking light I came to the panel that showed this was a "Pressure switch failure to close" problem.
Researching these forums helped me to even know what a pressure switch is and what it looks like. THANK YOU!
I pulled the vacuum hose and the power wires to the switch, ensuring the hose was clear and the wires were corrosion free.
When I plugged it all back in it is working fine and we have heat again!
MY QUESTION:
Both power wires to my pressure switch are yellow and I didn't keep track of which wire was plugged where. I get heat and the furnace works regardless of which position they are in.
Isn't there a proper way to have them hooked up? Or is it universal?
If there is a proper way, how do I know which wire goes to which lead?
Thanks in advance!
