Furnace blows cold air, ignitor won't glow.

I have 2 red led flashestwice when I power up my trane xv90 furnace, then I get 3 red flashes & then 2 red flashes again & then the green led flashes slowly. The draft inducer motor comes on but the ignitor don't glow. After 3 attempts from the draft inducer, the blower fan comes on & just blows cold air into my ducts & out of the air vents. I set the thermostat from 68 to 72 but it still just blows cold air & the air is constant & don't stop until I turn off the furnace main power switch. The 2 red led flashes indicate a lockout, but how do I reset it to get it out of the lock out mode ? The 3 red led flashes say that the pressure switches may be faulty, but I checked them & they test o.k. & i cleaned out all of the ports where the tubes connect to the switches & draft motor. Please respond, Thank you. Jan Schwartz

Ok this is going to sound funny but it seems as though the polarity is reversed going into your furnance. to correct this proiblem you first need to unplug the unit and where the cord goes into the furnance at that connection disconnect the two wires. Once theses are disconnected switch the wires .All you are doing is reversing the way the electricity flows into the circut board. I would wager that is the problem

Trane Furnace issue: 2 flash external lockout occurs, confirmed due to retries exceeded.

I agree that it sounds like a circuit board problem. So far as I'm aware, shutting off the power and turning it back on should cause the furnace to reset.


But wait and get some additional opinions on this oddball symptom would be my suggestion.
Thanks guys! The Thermostat is applying power. Both limit switches OK. The 2 microswitches attached to the air pressure lines are OK except one stays closed & one open sensing fan air I guess. Zero voltage read between green & white 120VAC input wires. I don't know what else to check. The darn circuit board will not reset and LED gives 2 flashes for lockout, and it means TOTAL LOCKOUT. Could you guys give me an idea how to go about buying a board to try? The only place near me just about doubles the price unless you are a HVAC company. Do I need to replace the part of the board that says "White-Rodgers" on it or just the green circuit board. Thanks again for helping.
Checked for thermostat voltage to Red & W1, checked limit switches, checked for 0 volts between green & white line input voltage, checked for loose connections. Red LED continues to flash 2 times after power recycled for reset.
Gas valve & igniter receive no power. I don't know what else to check. Does anyone have any more ideas to prove circuit board is bad?


My Trane furnace model is XV80, model # TUD100R9V5H6. If circuit board, do I replace the white box labeled "White-Rodgers, Model 50A51-507" or just the small green circuit board labeled "American Standard 21C148501P01?


I appreciate any more help you could give me including where to buy the board.
Thanks! Mickey

Brand New 2 weeks old 4 ton Trane compressor leaks a lot of water onto pad

If the unit is running in cold weather than there is ice building up on the coils located outside. This is normal in that the unit is running in heat pump mode heating inside and cooling outside, After the unit detects the ice build up it briefly reverses the cycle heating the outside coils melting(defrosting) the ice which you observe as water on the pad.

The video gives you an example of the defrost cycle!

York Diamond 90 furnace blows cold air

There maybe a few issues. They have multiple safeties on furnaces. With this in mind this process to find the problem would take a Technician to check these safeties. It could be a flame sensor or thermocoupler each senses a flame or heat to keep the gas going. Also the damper for the flue must open for the gas to stay on. There may be more safeties on this and each safety sends a 24 volt current back to control module in order for the gas valve to stay open. If these aren't being met it will try around three times and go into a lock out mode which will keep gas shut off entirely.

I have a Trane xe 70. The Heat is not turning on. The ignitor will glow but NO gas or blower. I turn on the fan and the blower does work but not when HEAT is selected on the t-stat. Also the LED light...

Check to see if you get 24 volts AC at the gas valve from the circuit board when the igniter is glowing. If yes, bad gas valve or blockage in gas train. If no, bad circuit board or broken wire
