    Is the air conditioning unit running? Is this a condensing furnace? If the a/c is running it may be iced up. Good luck, Mike

    If this is a 90 % efficient furnace the drain and or trap is plugged up and can be cleaned out with a shop vac depending on your knowledge level of the drain set-up.
