Normal Operation or Idle (No Fault)
Symptom
Blower motor hums but does not start, or starts slowly and overheats.
Blower Motor or Capacitor Failure
Symptom
Furnace cycles on and off frequently (short cycles) and the house temperature fluctuates.
Short Cycling Due to Control or Sizing Issues
Symptom
Furnace emits a strong chemical or burning plastic odor during operation.
Overheating Electrical or Plastic Components
Symptom
Furnace ignites but produces yellow, lazy flames instead of sharp blue flames.
Improper Combustion
Symptom
Furnace inducer motor is very loud, squealing, or grinding during operation.
Inducer Motor Bearing Failure
Symptom
Furnace is very loud outside at the vent termination (high-efficiency models), with whistling or roaring noise.
Vent Airflow Noise
Symptom
Furnace occasionally makes a high-pitched whine during operation.
Airflow or Motor Noise
Symptom
Furnace occasionally trips the household circuit breaker.
Overcurrent or Short Circuit
Symptom
Furnace runs but gas bill is unusually high and runtime seems excessive.
Low Efficiency Operation
Symptom
Furnace runs but some rooms are too cold while others are too warm.
Air Distribution Imbalance
Symptom
Furnace starts but shuts down immediately when the blower door is installed; runs with door removed (defeating switch).
Door Switch or Airflow Restriction Issue
Symptom
Furnace starts normally but shuts down when the blower comes on.
Flame Disturbance or Pressure Switch Opening on Blower Start
Symptom
Furnace will not start at all; thermostat appears to be working but there is no response from the furnace.
No Call for Heat Reaching Furnace
Symptom
The furnace blower runs continuously even when the thermostat is not calling for heat or fan.
Blower Stuck On
Symptom
The furnace is very noisy during operation, with rattling or vibrating sounds from the cabinet.

Dust Burn-Off on Heat Exchanger
Symptom
The furnace runs but does not produce warm air; the blower is on, and air from the registers is cool or only slightly warm.
Burners Not Igniting or Short Cycling
Symptom
The furnace runs but shuts off after a few minutes, then restarts; the home never reaches the set temperature.
High Limit Short Cycling
Symptom
Thermostat goes blank when furnace starts, then comes back on after a while.
Low-Voltage Power Drop or Short
Symptom
Water is dripping from the metal flue pipe of a standard-efficiency Concord furnace.
Flue Condensation
Symptom
Water is leaking around the base of a high-efficiency (PVC vented) Concord furnace.
