Why you Need a Lennox authorized repair service

Numerous companies out there will promise to repair your Lennox furnace quickly. While you might be tempted to call the first company in the list, you will benefit from opting for a certified professional rather than a general handyman.

  • Certification with Manufacturers – You want a furnace repair technician that is certified and specifically trained on your Lennox unit. No two furnaces are the same, so having a professional who is trained to work on Lennox furnaces is incredibly valuable.
  • Warranty Preservation – Read the fine print within the warranty on your Lennox unit, and you will see that you are required to use certified providers for all repairs and maintenance. Otherwise, Lennox may not cover the costs of your repair and service call.
  • Access to Parts – Most importantly, you need access to certified OEM Lennox parts to repair your furnace as quickly as possible. Companies that are not specialized in Lennox units may not have the appropriate replacements; thus leaving you without a furnace much longer than necessary.

When Should You Call A furnace technician?

Not all furnace repair and maintenance issues require the help of a certified technician, but some do. Here are some of the light sequences you might notice when your heat won’t turn on or keep heating. The majority of these issues have to be taken care of by a professional, for instance from GSHA Services, LTD.

  • The pair of LED lights are extinguished – This means your HVAC system might not have power. Find the breaker box to ensure the heating system fuse isn’t flipped. Attempt to reset the fuse if it’s in the “off” spot. If it promptly flips after you reset it, don’t touch the breaker and get in touch with us us.
  • One light is stable and the other is flashing slowly – This signifies the flame rollout switch is likely open. The switch is an important safety tool that aids in preventing fires and carbon monoxide. You shouldn’t try to take care of this malfunction on your own.
  • An individual light is blinking rapidly and the other is blinking slowly – This often indicates power polarity has been inverted. Your heater may have a wiring error that needs specialized aid from GSHA Services, LTD.
  • Both lights are flickering slowly – This means your heating system’s blower motor probably isn’t running. This piece circulates heated air from the HVAC system into your residence. We can help in figuring out what’s wrong with this piece.
  • A single light is flashing slowly and the other is flickering rapidly – This indicates your HVAC system might have not enough voltage or a short circuit. Reach out to our technicians for assistance.
  • One light is flashing on, on and off while the other blinks on, off, on – This signifies there could be a malfunction with your furnace’s control board or wiring. GSHA Services, LTD can locate the error and fix it.
  • The duo of lights are using alternate slow blinks – This means your furnace may have a flame error. There could be trouble with its gas supply, gas valve or ignitor control. Contact us for support.
  • A single light flashes slowly while the other is continuous – This usually means your furnace’s limit switch is not working. The switch stops your heating system from getting too hot. Call the professionals at GSHA Services, LTD for help.

– Confirm there is no short or open circuits in the Lennox communicating thermostat connections to any of the other components in the communication system.
– Issues with a DATS connected to a damper control module or equipment interface model will not generate an alert code.

E311 – Gas Furnace Heat Rate Reduced To Match Airflow

The heat firing rate has been reduced to match available airflow (cutback mode). This is a warning only alert code.
– Furnace blower in cutback mode due to restricted airflow.
– Reduce firing rate every 60 seconds to match available CFM.
– Check air filter and duct system.
– To clear, replace air filter if needed or repair or add additional ducting.
– Two-stage controls will reduce firing rate to first stage.

E312 – Reduced Airflow-Indoor Blower Cutback

The indoor blower cannot provide the requested CFM due to excessive static pressure. This is a warning only alert code.
– Static pressure has exceeded the capability of the blower motor.
– Possible restricted airflow – Indoor blower is running at a reduced CFM (Cutback Mode).
– The variable speed motor has pre-set speed and torque limiters to protect the motor from damage caused by operating outside of design parameters (0 to 0.8” e.g. total external static pressure).
– Check air filter and duct system.
– To clear, replace air filter if needed or repair or add additional ducting.

E344 – Gas Furnace IFC Relay Y1 Stuck

Link Relay Problem. Relay Y1 Failure which will result in the all system operations stopping.
– Relay is located on the IFC (Integrated Furnace Control). If issue continues replace IFC.

E347 – ID or EIM Relay Y1 Fault

Sequence of Operation: Communicating room thermostat send a Y1 or Y2 cooling or heat pump demand to the indoor control asking it to send a Y1 or Y2 output to the outdoor unit, right? The indoor control then looks to see if it sees 24 volts between the Y1 and common or Y2 and common on its terminals. If it does not see 24 volts, it sets the code 347.
– The Y1 relay on the applicable system component has failed. Either the pilot relay contacts did not close or the relay coil did not energize.
– System operation will stop.
– Possible Y1 relay / stage 1 failure.
– Pilot relay contacts did not close or the relay coil did not energize;
– There is no input back to the applicable system component control.

E348 – ID Relay Y2 Fault

Sequence of Operation: Communicating room thermostat send a Y1 or Y2 cooling or heat pump demand to the indoor control asking it to send a Y1 or Y2 output to the outdoor unit, right? The indoor control then looks to see if it sees 24 volts between the Y1 and common or Y2 and common on its terminals. If it does not see 24 volts, it sets the Alert Code 348.
– The Y2 relay on the applicable system component has failed. Either the pilot relay contacts did not close or the relay coil did not energize.
– Possible Y2 relay / stage 2 failure.
– Furnace pilot relay contacts did not close or the relay coil did not energize
– No input back to furnace or air handler control.

E349 – Gas Furnace IFC Error Check Jumper O To R

The O to R link on the furnace needs to be restored.
– Configuration link R to O needs to be restored.
– Repair cut link by hard-wiring the R to O terminals on the terminal strip.
– Only applicable in non-communicating mode.
– Possible cause brown out. Might result in low voltage to which would generate alert code.

E370 – Gas Furnace Interlock Switch Open

Communicating Mode:
– In communicating mode, the DS terminal will be used to monitor a field-installed interlock switch. When operating in this capacity, the DS jumper will be monitored as follows:
– The on-board jumper DS-R (W914) will be cut.
– When no alert codes are present there will be 24VAC present at this terminal.
– When controls see the loss of 24VAC for 2 minutes it will send an alert code 370 and disable all service bits.
– If currently running a demand, de-energize all outputs (including the blower).
– The alert code will clear when 24VAC is continuously sensed on DS terminal for a minimum of 10 seconds and the respective alert code clearing message will be sent and service bits restored.
In case of an existing interlock switch alert code, upon power reset, an alert code message shall be sent if voltage is not sensed on the DS terminal. An alert code clearing message will be sent if 24VAC is sensed on DS terminal for the minimum of 10 seconds.
– The monitoring of DS terminal will apply to both variable speed and constant torque controls.
Non-Communicating Mode:
– The furnace control has not received 24VAC power for two minutes or more on the DS terminal
– The system will not operate.
– Dealer has cut the W914 jumper (Dehum, Harmony III) on the Lennox furnace control.
– The thermostat monitors the DS terminal in the furnace for power and if the link has been cut then power will be lost to DS.

E380 – EIM Interlock Relay Fault

Interlock relay failure (furnace or air handler modes only).
– Interlock relay is energized, but input is not sensed after three seconds.
– There will be no heating or cooling due to this alert code – moderate condition.
– De-energize interlock relay and energize after five minutes if demand is still present – critical condition.

E381 – EIM Interlock Relay Stuck

Interlock relay stuck (furnace or air handler modes only).
– Interlock relay continuously sensed (with relay off).
– There is no heating and cooling operation – moderation condition.
– After 10 minutes if event still exist it will be escalated to priority condition critical.

E382 – EIM Relay W1 Fault

Relay W1 failure (furnace or air handler modes only). W1 relay is energized but input is not sensed after three seconds.
