6 flashes Rollout limit open or control fuse blown
What the control is telling you
The flame rollout limit is open or the control fuse blew, and the furnace will not run. The circulator blower is on all the time while the rollout is open.
Applies to: GMES9, GCES9, AMES9, ACES9, VMES9, VCES9 (single stage, 92% and 96%)
Likely causes
- Flame rollout
- Burners out of alignment
- Blocked flue or inlet air pipe, or failed inducer
- Loose wiring
- Short in the 24 V control or safety circuits
- Faulty rollout limit
Test and repair steps
- Turn off power before repairs.
- Check burner alignment.
- Check flue and inlet piping for blockage, length, elbows and termination. Fix as needed.
- Check the rollout limit and replace it if bad.
- Check the inducer and replace it if it performs badly.
- Tighten wiring. If the control fuse blew, find the short, then replace the fuse with a 3 A automotive fuse.
