Yesterday, I woke up to find that my gas furnace is no longer working. It's a KeepRite - model C9MPV075F12D1. Almost 17 years old. I can hear a faint humming sound coming from the furnace but that's all.
Steps I've taken to troubleshoot the issue:
- I worked with an Ecobee rep to rule out my smart thermostat as the cause
- I removed the Flame Sensor and cleaned the oxidation from it
- The circuit board has power (LED comes on) and the fuse is good. Using a multi meter, I verified that the transformer is good and the board's getting the proper voltage (24-28V)
- I used my multi meter to test the voltage going to the inducer motor - 0V. So, there could be an issue with the board
I'd also like to test the inducer motor's capacitor. I watched this guy's YouTube video to learn how to test the capacitor, but his furnace setup looks different than mine. I'm unable to locate it. The only two components branching off of the wiring harness from the inducer motor both look like pressure switches. So, I'm not sure which component is the capacitor.
I'm hoping someone that has worked with KeepRite furnaces could help me identify it (using the included pics below) so I can test it. Else, I hope a furnace tech out there could let me know what they think. TIA!
