York Furnace Repair Guide
Common York Furnace Problems and Troubleshooting
Before you aim to attempt any diagnosis or perform Trane furnace repairs, please make certain to shut off the unit’s power completely.
There’s one task in particular that will guarantee long-term efficiency for your YORK furnace, regularly changing the air filters. This simple practice will ensure that your unit’s internal components, such as the blower motor and the pressure tubing, continue to function at their best. Furthermore, it’s important to vacuum the vents, check the registers, and keep the area surrounding your YORK furnace clear of debris.
How to Replace Your Air Filter
- Before you can replace your filter, check the access panel for the exact filter size as well as the part number.
- When ready, open the filter access panel.
- Remove the old filter, which should be located near the return air duct and blower.
- Insert the new air filter, remember to make certain that it’s installed in the same direction as the previous one.
- Replace the filter access panel.

York Furnace Error Codes
Error Code | What this means | How to fix it |
---|---|---|
Slow green flash | This is normal operation. | N/A |
Slow amber flash | This is normal operation with a call for heat. | N/A |
Rapid red flash | This is a twinning error, incorrect 24V phasing. | You should check the twinning wiring. |
Four amber flashes | The control is receiving a “Y” signal from the thermostat without a “G” signal, and this indicates that the thermostat is wired incorrectly. | You should check the thermostat wiring. |
One red flash | Flame sensed when there was no call for heat. | You should check for a leaky or slow closing gas valve. |
Two red flashes | The pressure switch contacts that are normally open are stuck in the closed position. | You should check for a faulty pressure switch, miswiring, or an open pressure switch contact that didn’t close after the inducer was energized. |
Three red flashes | Many issues could cause this. | Check for a faulty inducer, blocked vent pipe, broken pressure switch hose, or a faulty pressure switch. |
Four red flashes | The contacts on the main limit switch that are normally closed have opened. | You should check for a dirty filter, an improperly sized duct system, an incorrect blower speed setting, an incorrect firing rate, or a faulty blower motor. |
Five red flashes | The contacts that are normally closed have opened during the rollout switch. The rollout control is manually reset. | If it has opened, you should check to see if there’s a proper supply of combustion air. Otherwise, you can inspect the inducer’s operation, the primary heat exchanger for a sign of failure, or the burner for potential issues. Remember to reset the switch and cycle power to the control. |
Six red flashes | After the unit began operating, the pressure switch opened four times during the call for heat. | The furnace will lockout for 1 hour and then restart. |
Seven red flashes | The flame could not be established. The no-light condition occurred three times during the call for heat before locking out. | You should check for low gas pressure, a faulty gas valve, a dirty or defective flame sensor, a faulty hot surface ignitor, or the burner for potential issues. The furnace will lockout for 1 hour and then restart. |
Eight red flashes | The flame has been lost five times during the heating cycle. | You should check the system for low gas pressure, a dirty or faulty flame sensor, or a defective burner. The furnace will lockout for 1 hour and then restart. |
Nine red flashes | The line voltage polarity has been reversed or there’s a grounding problem. | You should check the furnace grounding and the polarity at both the furnace and branch. |
Ten red flashes | A flame has been sensed with no call for heat. | You should check the gas valve as well as the gas valve wiring. |
Eleven red flashes | This is usually caused by a failed blower motor or blower wheel. | After correcting the failure condition, you will want to cycle power to the control which will reset the hard lockout condition. |
Twelve red flashes | This indicates an open igniter circuit. | You should check for a disconnected or loose wire, or a cracked or broken igniter. |
Steady red | This is a control failure. | You should replace the control board. |
When to call a professional to repair your York furnace
It’s tough to know when exactly is the right time to contact a trained HVAC technician to look at your YORK furnace. Although you can diagnose many of the issues on your own, performing the repairs is a much more complex task. If you experience any of the following issues, you should contact trained heating and cooling professional to save you money in the long run.
- If your YORK furnace begins to spontaneously leak or drip.
- If your unit stops producing heat.
- Strange noises begin to come from your YORK furnace, such as banging, whistling, gurgling, etc.
- If you’re noticing that your boiler is acting strange, and your furnace is continuously turning itself on and off.
Who Should You Call?
Seeking out a trustworthy local HVAC business can be a difficult job. Online consumer reviews can offer plenty of information on the quality and types of services available, as well as their price points, but these don’t always give a comprehensive enough overview. The data is often incomplete or biased, and you don’t want to make a $1,000 decision based solely from an anonymous review.
So, how do you guarantee that you’re making the right decision? We can help! Refer to our independent certification program to make an informed choice. Our certification requires that companies meet a wide array of criteria to make sure that Canadian homeowners are receiving the best service available.
