How a Low-Fire Pressure Switch Works
Two-stage furnaces have numerous pressure switches to help the system to run at different speeds—and be more efficient. These switches also guarantee your furnace runs safely and vents extra gases from the heat exchanger.
What Happens When a Low-Fire Pressure Switch Fails
Your low pressure switch may not be operating correctly if your furnace inducer motor switches on in high speed and high ignition, then weakens and shifts into low-fire mode about 30 seconds afterward.
Your system will indicates something’s wrong with a red flash from its indicator light, which it uses to display error codes. It has this red light to flash code, like Morse code.
You may see fast flashes or an alternating slow flash as it announces a fault code.
