7. Clean blower wheel and motor by using a vacuum with soft
brush attachment. Be careful not to disturb balance weights
(clips) on blower wheel vanes. Do not bend wheel or blades as
balance will be affected.
8. If greasy residue is present on blower wheel, remove wheel
from the blower housing and wash it with an appropriate
degreaser. To remove wheel:
a. Mark blower wheel location on shaft before disassembly to
ensure proper reassembly.
b. Loosen setscrew holding blower wheel on motor shaft.
NOTE: Mark blower mounting arms and blower housing so each
arm is positioned at the same hole location during reassembly.
c. Mark blower wheel orientation and cutoff plate location to
ensure proper reassembly.
d. Remove screws securing cutoff plate and remove cutoff
plate from housing.
e. Remove bolts holding motor mounts to blower housing and
slide motor and mounts out of housing.
f. Remove blower wheel from housing.
g. Clean wheel per instructions on degreaser cleaner.
9. Reassemble motor and blower wheel by reversing items 8b
through 8f. Ensure wheel is positioned for proper rotation. Be
sure to attach ground wire.
10. Reinstall blower assembly in furnace.
11. Reinstall condensate trap and tubing if previously removed.
a. Reinstall condensate trap in hole in blower shelf.
b. Connect condensate trap drain tubes. See Fig. 8 or tubing
diagram on main furnace door for proper tube location.
(1.) Connect 1 tube (blue or blue and white striped) from
collector box.
(2.) Connect 1 tube (violet or unmarked) from inducer
housing.
(3.) Connect 1 tube (relief port, green or pink) from
collector box.
c. Connect field drain to condensate trap.
NOTE: Ensure tubes are not kinked or pinched, as this will affect
operation.
12. Reinstall control box, transformer, and door switch assembly
on blower shelf.
13. Reconnect wires.
a. Refer to furnace wiring diagram and connect motor and
auxiliary limit switch leads. (See Fig. 16.)
b. Connect thermostat leads if previously disconnected.
14. Turn on electrical supply. Manually close blower access panel
door switch. Use a piece of tape to hold switch closed. Check
for proper rotation and speed changes between heating and
cooling by jumpering R to G and R to Y on control center
thermostat terminals. (See Fig. 11.)
Blower access panel door switch opens 115-v power to
control center. No component operation can occur. Caution
must be taken when manually closing this switch for service
purposes. Failure to follow this warning could result in
personal injury or death.
15. If furnace is operating properly, release blower access panel
door switch, replace blower access panel, and replace main
furnace door.
Step 3—Cleaning Burners
The following items should be performed by a qualified service
technician. If the burners develop an accumulation of light dirt or
dust, they may be cleaned by using the following procedure:
1. Turn off gas and electrical supplies to furnace.
2. Remove main furnace door.
3. Remove burner box cover.
4. Using backup wrench, disconnect gas supply pipe from gas
valve.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing con-
trols. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous
operation.
5. Remove wires from gas valve. Note location for reassembly.
6. Remove burner box pressure tube from gas valve regulator
fitting.
7. Remove screws that secure manifold to burner box. (See Fig.
5.)
8. Remove manifold, orifices, and gas valve as 1 assembly.
9. Remove screws attaching burner assembly in burner box.
10. Remove burner assembly from burner box.
NOTE: All burners are attached to burner bracket and can be
removed as 1 assembly.
11. Clean burners with soft brush and vacuum.
12. Reinstall manifold, orifice, and gas valve assembly in burner
box. Ensure manifold seal grommet is installed properly and
burners fit over orifices.
13. Reconnect wires to gas valve. Refer to furnace wiring diagram
for proper wire location.
14. Reinstall burner box pressure tube to gas valve regulator
fitting.
15. Reinstall gas supply pipe to gas valve using backup wrench on
gas valve to prevent rotation and improper orientation.
NOTE: Use propane gas resistant pipe dope to prevent gas leaks.
DO NOT use Teflon tape.
