NOTICE: BEFORE TROUBLESHOOTING, FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH 
THE START UP AND CHECKOUT PROCEDURE. 
 
ALL INSTALLATION AND SERVICES MUST BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED 
HEATING CONTRACTORS. 
 
To assist you in troubleshooting this furnace, it is equipped with an integrated 
ignition control with diagnostics. These diagnostics evaluate what control system 
has experienced a failure and activate a flashing light on the control in different 
sequences to help pinpoint the failure which has occurred. Also provided in 
appendix C is a troubleshooting flow chart located in the back of this manual. 
 
IMPORTANT:  For your convenience, Thermo Products has installed a sight 
glass in the blower door of this furnace. The number of flashes in groups should 
be observed through this sight glass and recorded before turning off power to the 
furnace. Otherwise power to the furnace will be interrupted upon or removing the 
blower turning off power or removing the necessary to restart the furnace and 
have the failure occur again. 
 
 
DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES 
 
The 50A65 control used on this furnace continuously monitors its operation and 
the operation of the system. If a failure occurs, the LED light on the control will 
failure code. If the failure is internal to the control, the light will stay on 
continuously. In this case, the entire control should be replaced, as the 
control is not field-repairable. 
 
If the sensed failure is in the system (external to the control), the LED will flash in 
the following flash-pause sequences to indicate failure status (each flash will last 
approximately 0.25 seconds and each pause will last approximately 2 seconds). 
 
1 flash, then pause   
           System lockout 
2 flashes, then pause 
 
Pressure switch stuck closed 
3 flashes, then pause 
 
Pressure switch stuck open 
4 flashes, then pause 
 
Open high limit, aux. limit, or roll-out switch 
6 flashes, then pause                   115 Volt AC power reversed 
7 flashes, then pause 
 
Low flame sense signal 
8 flashes, then pause 
 
Check ignitor or improper grounding 
Continuous flashing  
           Flame has been sensed when no flame should          
(no pause)       
 
be present (no call for heat) 
 
The LED will also flash once at power-up.
