I've had a problem with my Honeywell N8MPN/N8MPL or *8MPN/*8MPNL (not sure which one exactly, but thats what the manual says). Its a nat. gas furnace. Its about 5 years old (in a 5yr old house in southern california). Have been running the heat for a month, and starting 4 days ago for about 2 days, the blower motor was constantly running with no heat. I tried to turn it off using thermostat but it wouldn't turn off. I unplugged the thermostat, and the blower motor still ran. I turned it off at the circuit breaker. When I turned it back on, a day later, the blower stayed off. Turned on the heater and the thermostat said the heat was being turned on, the blower fan started but no heat.
Also there are two units (they both look identical), the problematic one is for the upstairs. I swapped the thermostats to rule out bad one but without success. (Little offtopic, there is a switch marked E & F on the back of the thermostat; Just curious what it means). I checked the fuse on the control board and its still good. But now the heater doesn't turn on when its set to heat. Does turn on when you set the Fan from Auto to On.
I tried to turn off the gas to see if the pilot turned on, but didn't hear/see anything happening at the pilot. It was then I noticed the flashing light on the Gas Control Valve. It was flashing twice, every few seconds. Looked it up on the manual and it says "Low Pressure switch closed when should be open".
Do the symptoms sound like the low pressure switch is bad? More importantly, did I do something wrong, warranty wise, by self diagnosing. My DIY mode kicks in without thinking. And should I call Honeywell or Local AC contractor (the one that installed it). Oh, I couldn't really find the replacement part (#1013529). Found something on ebay "Honeywell Furnace Air Pressure Switch 42-24196-02 0.80" (don't think the part # is honeywell's).
Anyway, thanks for reading and any info would be greatly appreciated.
