LED steady ON Status LED on solid - control lockout (resets after 1 hour)
What the control is telling you
A steady green light (no heartbeat, no flashing) means the board has locked itself out. It clears on its own after 1 hour.
Applies to: KeepRite (F/G)9MXE single-stage and (F/G)9MXT two-stage 95% furnaces
Likely causes
- Fault in the flame sensing circuit
- Gas valve relay stuck closed on the board
- Internal software check failure
Test and repair steps
- Cycle power to the furnace to clear the lockout.
- Watch a full heating cycle.
- If the steady light comes back, replace the furnace control.
