First post!
All,
I have a Bryant Plus 90 350MAV on propane. Yesterday I woke up to a 58degree house. Night/Morning temperature is set to be 65 degrees on digital thermostat. Thermostat stated "In Recovery" on display that morning and would not control the HVAC system even when elevating temp manually. I was able to get the unit to work by shutting power off and then back on to the HVAC unit (unfortunetly I did not check for error codes). That same morning I also heard the inducer motor start, but only run for maybe ?3 seconds? And then shut down. This was not the blower motor that I heard. The unit ran perfectly all day long.
This morning same issue, cold house and "In Recovery" stated on the thermostat. I am use to "In Recovery" for use in A/C mode, but not for Heat.
Sorry, still no codes to report, but will certainly obtain them if it fails again. I cannot get the unit to fail as of right now.
Diagnostics so far include:
Verified wiring connections (all good)
Cleaned high temp sensor (not dirty)
Cleaned flame sense rod (not dirty)
Verified air filter (not dirty)
Cleaned condensation trap and lines (somewhat gunky)
Verified pressure switch operates (by pulling and reinstalling vacuum line when unit operates properly)
Verified inducer motor capacitor
Inducer motor spins freely
What could cause the inducer motor to shut off shortly (3-5 sec) after being told to turn on? Suspect board but want to know how to verify.
I am currently shutting off the heat for the day to try and reproduce the night time situation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
