What the control is telling you

Two-stage models: the high-heat pressure switch (or the relay that drives high heat) did not close, or opened again.

Applies to: KeepRite (F/G)9MXT two-stage 95% furnace

Likely causes

  • Faulty control relay
  • Gas valve miswired
  • Any of the venting/drain/pressure switch causes listed for code 3

Test and repair steps

  1. Check the gas valve wiring against the diagram.
  2. Go through the code 3 checks for vent, drain, tubing and inducer.
  3. Check the high-heat switch with a manometer during high-fire.
  4. If wiring and switch are fine, the board relay is suspect - replace the control.
