What Does the Flashing Light on My Heater Mean?

Your furnace uses lights to flash code when it needs to be repaired. It also works this system to relay it’s heating like it should.

Correct heating involves:

  • Concurrent slow flash—heating system heating properly.
  • Simultaneous fast flash—heater is starting to call for heat.

If you notice a single light flashing slowly and the other going on and off rapidly, your heater might be having a low flame signal. This can occur even when your heating system is heating correctly. It signifies the flame sensing rod may be dirty or in the wrong area on the burner. Contact us at 717-383-4479 for help.

Here are a few other of the most common problems for Lennox furnaces.

Heating System Won’t Start

Here are a few of the light sequences you may see when your heat refuses to or keep running. The majority of these issues need to be handled by a professional, like one from Strine's Heating & Air Conditioning.

  1. Both LED lights are extinguished. This signifies your heater might not have power. Find the breaker box to ensure the heating system fuse hasn’t triggered. Try resetting the fuse if it’s in the “off” position. If it promptly trips following a reset, leave the breaker alone and contact us at 717-383-4479.
  2. A single light is solid and the other is flickering slowly. This signifies the flame rollout switch is likely not working right. The switch is an essential safety guard that assists in avoiding fires and carbon monoxide. You shouldn’t attempt to take care of this fault without professional help.
  3. An individual light is flickering rapidly and the other is blinking slowly. This likely signifies power polarity has been reversed. Your heating system may have a wiring fault that needs professional support from Strine's Heating & Air Conditioning.
  4. The pair of lights are flashing slowly. This indicates your furnace’s blower motor probably isn’t operating. This component distributes warm air from the heating system into your residence. We can assist in determining what’s causing an issue with this component.
