Since last 3 weeks I have been having problem with my furnace(model number : KG6RA-045C-08A).
I had three HVAC repair person have a look, and here are what they did
1. Replaced Ignitor and Flame sensor(after this repair furnace ran for one week)
2. Replaced pipe between Inducer and Pressure switch and suggested that if it fails again I have to replace pressure switch(furnace stopped working after 2 days)
3. Suggested to replace Pressure switch, Inducer and Control Board(with a hefty price tag : $1330). And didn't give clear answer as to why I should replace all three parts.
So I decided to try to solve the problem myself.
I see 2 blinks(pressure switch open with inducer on)After reading post (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/heating-air-conditioning/pressure-switch-open-inducer-290817.html), I "Turned off furnace, removed one wire from pressure switch, started furnace, put back the wire", and furnace started. I am pretty sure it will shut down again. If I touch the inducer on side it feels hot.
Can any one point me if I really should replace these parts and is there a way to confirm that these parts need replacement.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
