SITUATION
:
There are several furnace heat exchanger inspection methodologies that have been used in the field.
Improper or inadequate furnace heat exchanger inspection techniques can result in the misdiagnosis
of a heat exchanger failure when a failure has not occurred or is not imminent.
SOLUTION:
Attached is the official Carrier / Bryant / Payne 90% Furnace Heat Exchanger Inspection Procedure.
This procedure should be utilized to properly diagnose a heat exchanger failure once preliminary
service and troubleshooting techniques indicate the heat exchanger is suspected to have failed. This
bulletin may also be used as a reference to verify the furnace is installed properly. The maintenance
items section can be used to identify any existing or future service related issues.
This inspection procedure details significant installation, set-up, and maintenance items that can
impact furnace operation, combustion characteristics, and heat exchanger performance and
reliability. In general, if an initial check of combustion performance as detailed in Section 2 of this
procedure yields CO levels in the vent of 200 ppm or less, no further examination or inspection of the
heat exchanger is required. Installation, set-up, and maintenance items should still be reviewed
and corrected to resolve any remaining furnace operational concerns. An excess air measurement
can also help in diagnosis of heat exchanger failure. The combustion check procedure included in
this document details additional steps to include this diagnostic when possible.
This bulletin also includes a 90% Furnace Heat Exchanger Inspection Certificate that must be
completed, signed by the technician, and faxed or e-mailed to Warranty Administration as part of the
heat exchanger warranty claim approval process.
Warning: Do not perform any of the servicing instructions provided in this Service Bulletin unless you are a trained and
qualified technician. Observe all precautions in the instructions, equipment tags, labels, and observe all other safety
precautions that may apply. Failure to follow this warning could result in property damage, personal injury or death.
