Furnace 68DLX070 repair in San Jose, CA

This furnace, model 68DLX070, was repaired with a new inducer motor assembly after the unit stopped heating correctly. The inducer motor is what draws combustion gases through the furnace, so replacing the failed assembly was the key to getting the system running again.

If your furnace is not working properly, a few basic checks can sometimes pinpoint the issue before a technician is needed.

Furnace troubleshooting and the repair we made

• Check the thermostat: make sure it is set to the desired temperature and in “heat” mode, and confirm the schedule on a programmable thermostat is correct.
• Check the air filter: a dirty filter can cause the furnace to malfunction, so inspect it and replace it if it is clogged.
• Check the circuit breaker: verify the breaker controlling the furnace has not tripped, and reset it if it has before trying the furnace again.
• Check the gas supply: confirm the gas supply to the furnace is turned on and the gas valve is open.
• Inducer motor assembly replacement: once these checks were ruled out, our technician diagnosed a failed inducer motor and installed a new assembly to restore proper operation.

With the new inducer motor assembly in place, the furnace returned to safe and steady heating. When basic troubleshooting does not solve the problem, a Nur HVAC technician can diagnose the fault and make the repair needed to get your furnace running again.
