NORMAL SEQUENCE OF OPERATION 

B. DAMPER HAS OPENED, 

  NO COMBUSTION

  VOLTAGE ACROSS:

  4 & 1; 4 & 2; 4 & 3: 

1. Check for power at ignition module terminals.  If 24VAC power is present damper

    is working properly. 

2. Defective component in appliance after the flue damper. 

3. If 24 VAC is not present at the ignition module, look for  loose or broken 

  connections between damper and ignition module.

4.  If the connections from damper to ignition module seem  proper, replace damper    

  assembly. If a damper assembly  is not available, place the service switch in the 

  hold open  position. This  should keep the damper in the open position and allow 

  the customer to have automatic heat, until a replacement damper can be installed.

C. DAMPER ROTATES  

     CONTINUOUSLY 

Change the entire damper assembly

D. DAMPER STICKS 

1.  Make sure no screws obstruct the damper blade.

2.  Make sure damper pipe assembly is not egg shaped.

3.  Make sure damper rod is not rubbing on pipe assembly.
