How to Reset Your Root Furnace: Step-by-Step Guide
If your root furnace isn’t working or won’t turn on, resetting it can often resolve the issue. Follow this simple step-by-step guide to get your furnace back in action.
Step 1: Turn Off the Furnace Power
To begin, you’ll want to switch off the power to your furnace. You can do this by using the wall switch located near the unit or by turning off the circuit breaker in your electrical panel. Make sure to wait for at least 30 seconds before moving on to the next step.
Step 2: Locate the Reset Button
Next, find the reset button on your furnace. On most root furnaces, the reset button is a small red button located inside the blower compartment, close to the blower motor. In some cases, it may be found on the control board. You might need to remove the front access panel to see it clearly. The reset button is typically round, red in color, and may be labeled as “reset.”
Step 3: Press the Reset Button
Once you’ve located the reset button, press and hold it for about 3 to 5 seconds. You should feel or hear a click if the reset was successful.
Step 4: Restore Power and Test
Now, it’s time to restore power to the furnace. Turn the power back on and set your thermostat to the heat setting. Make sure to raise the temperature above room level to prompt the furnace to restart.
Step 5: Observe Operation
Finally, listen for normal sounds as the blower starts and monitor any other sounds that may indicate the furnace is functioning properly.
Thank you for following these steps to reset your root furnace. With a bit of patience and attention, you can have your heating system running smoothly again!
