The furnace runs, but some rooms are too cold while others are too warm.

Possible Causes
Improperly adjusted dampers, blocked ducts, undersized return air, blower speed set incorrectly on the Danfoss control.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the power before reaching into ductwork or blower compartments.
Steps:
- Check supply registers: Ensure registers in cold rooms are fully open and not blocked by furniture or rugs.
- Adjust dampers: If manual dampers are installed in branch ducts, adjust them to increase airflow to colder rooms and slightly restrict warmer rooms.
- Inspect return grilles: Ensure return grilles are unobstructed to allow adequate airflow back to the furnace.
- Blower speed settings: A technician can adjust the blower speed via the Danfoss control or motor taps to optimize airflow.
