Bryant Furnace Model 563G does not turn on
My furnace is only one year old. It was working fine, but now it just doesn't turn on. No noise, nothing.
The power switch to the furnace is on...I see the LED lit up.
The door is shut firmly. Besides, I see no switch that the door presses on.
The only thing I see is that my thermostat says to change:
the filter
the UV Lamp (whatever that is)
and the humidifier pad (whatever that is). I don't even have a humidifier.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dan

Is the LED flashing a code? On blower door there maybe a chart showing what the flashing means.
Sounds like your t-stat may need to set up to turn off the UV and Pad change.. What the make/model of the t-stat?
You changed the air filter?

No the LED is not flashing a code. The LED is a single little red light. On the board by the LED it says, "Status Code LED". Then also near, it is written, "EAC-2".
No I haven't changed my filter. It's been a year so I figure it just automatically goes on. We rarely run it all day and hardly ever run it at night.
I think I can read the book to turn off the "change filter, UV Lamp (whatever that is) and humidifier pad"; however, doing that won't turn my furnace on, will it?
Thanks.

I have a touch pad thermostat. I noticed the "reset" option on there last night. I touched it, then "change filter, etc." stuff went away. The furnace still did not work.
I just woke up this morning, turned the heater on via the thermostat and lo and behold, it works now. Don't know what happened, but it works.
Do you know what a UV lamp is and where it is located so I can change it?
What is it for? I suppose the humidifier pad is something that I don't have to worry about since I don't have a humidifier.
Thanks for all your help!

I take it you have a Honeywell VisionPro t-stat? TH8320?

UV light us either on the return duct or above the A-Coil. It used to kill germs and what not in the air, and if it's above the coil, it used to kill mold.

Yikes a year? If that been that long, the filter may of been dirty, and cause the furnace to lock out on high limit.

If you have not changed your filter in a year it should be looked at for sure. Most common air filters 1" - 2" need changed every 30 - 90 days the larger media filters in the 4" - 6" range can go about 9 months.

Yeah, my thermostat looks like that, but it's the TH8110U Honeywell.
My filter is about 5" deep, pleated, and according to the manufacturer, because of it's design, it goes a year.
Thanks!

Do you have central air? If so, then change the filter twice a year, otherwise, once a year is fine, unless you have pets, and lot of foot traffic.

If you don't have the manual, above link will be one.
Page 15 is set up mode.
Then go to set up 510 and 520 and set to 0 if you don't have the UV and humidifer.
Is the furnace 90 or 80%?
