I'm sharing my experience in the hope that it benefits others. My furnace was exhibiting a frustrating behavior-it would start but immediately shut off. In my case, I have two furnaces, and the problematic one was located in the attic. This issue occurred during extremely cold weather, around minus eight degrees F outside. Initially, I attempted to address the problem by cleaning the flame sensor, even though it didn't appear dirty. This seemed to work temporarily, as the furnace ran for about 20 minutes before cutting out again. Frustrated but determined, I stumbled upon your video suggestion that proved to be the solution: cleaning the condensate trap. Upon inspection, I discovered that the condensate trap was frozen. After thorough cleaning the condensate trap, the furnace started working again seamlessly. A heartfelt thank you goes to you for this video. It's incredible how such timeless wisdom continues to assist and benefit so many people, including myself. God bless you!!
Perfect!!! some of these air switches has two contact - one on the front one on the back check both! On my Carrier unit the yellow jumper powered both switches - then there was a brown (signal to control board) and orange (signal to control board) two different outputs signals. Inducer housing pressure and collector box pressure (check all 3 tubing- green, black, and black square tubing vacuumed sensing signal). Blow them out (toward the inducer housing) and you can check them with a OHM meter by gently sucking on the hose and hearing them click. Make sure the hoses are good and tight - a very small vacuum leak can cause them to not work!
It was the old P-trap! Half a gallon of condensate drained from HX. Dirt & debris plugged it. Thanks! Saved a service call on Christmas Day with the forecast calling for highs in the single digits.

Thanks! It was -4 out and the furnace failed with error code 31. After watching your video I was able to diagnose that it was a clogged drain. After draining the water that was backed up I was able to clear the drain. Problem solved! You saved me an expensive service call and hours in a cold house. :-)

I was getting 3 error codes: low pressure switch (31), high pressure switch(32), and draft inducer(42). I was thinking failed part of blocked flue. Well, I ran a fish tape down the venting (short length), and it didn't do anything. Then I watched the first minute and a half of this video: you said blocked trap. Sure enough, that was the issue. I now have glorious heat so much my wife said it was too hot and could I "stop playing with the furnace". :D Thanks! :)

Awesome! 6years later and you’re still helping people. A plugged condensate trap shut down my carrier system while I was out of town. House got down to 49F. Cleaned my trap and all the hoses and I’m up and running again. I’m sure you saved me several hundred dollars for a tech to come out. Thanks so much!
Not the exact same model as mine, but your video showed me what is wrong. Inducer motor very stiff to turn. Would not start on its own without a spin by hand to help get it turning. Thanks a lot. Very helpful

What a great help. Checked all the easy items first. Pulled the inducer last and found the impeller completely separated from shaft - hence the noise. Hope this fixes the problem of failure to ignite.

I cleaned the drain trap and hooked up a shopvac blower to both tubes and let it blow for a bit and BOOM! it worked thanks for the tips Ed you saved me hundreds. When I blew out the tube connected to the fan it blew out some water so I think that is what fixed it.

Just thought I'd say thanks for the video! I had a code 31 and replaced the pressure switch with no luck. Your video helped me identify a drainage issue with the trap. I took it out and cleaned it up. Everything works perfectly well. To anyone who might have similar issues, make sure to blow air through all of the inlets / outlets of the trap to remove debris. I simply used my mouth (forming a barrier with my hand). I soaked it all in hot water / dish soap as well before blowing it out.
Hello Ed, Thank You you just saved me $1800, the tech that came last week indicated that I needed a new secondary heat exchanger. He did not spend much time and could not explain why I needed it. These 90 percent bryants had a class action suit with regards to the Heat exchangers, (that's another email). In an case I followed you direction and in addition, I disconnected the intake and exhaust pvc an attached a shop vac and blew air through the system. System has worked fine since.

CHEERS to you, Ed!!! Thank you for your very helpful video. On a freezing and snowy April evening our furnace threw a code 23. I read somewhere it had a connection to a code 31. I checked the drain tube as you suggested and found it to be full of water. I disconnected the condensate trap to rinse it and found it was clogged. Some hot water and tapping on the kitchen sink cleared all the dirt and crap from the inside. After putting it all together and crossing my fingers we are a warm and happy family again! Thanks for the help and many blessing to you and yours!
Thanks! I was able to get my furnace running with your help. Clogged trap...but I could not remove mine - the drain was glued to pvc and I'd have to cut it out. However, I found another video that suggested that I could blow it out after removing the pressure switch hose. It worked! Thanks so much.

Thank you so much for this video! I found a leaf that got sucked through the inlet air tube all the way to the combustion air inlet. Would never have found it without your video!
Dude! YOu're the shit! Thank you bro! My impeller wheel was shattered! All the bs in the troubleshooting manual was like reading a foriegn language. It's christmas and I couldn't afford a repairman. You saved my ass, now if you can tell me where to find a wheel on Christmas eve you'd be a fucking magician!

Ed. I had the 31 code. I watched your video. I fixed it. The little drain hose was shot, so I had to get one from the local HVAC guy. All is good. Thank you!
I have the 31 and it gurgles or sloshes when turning the motor that should spin freely. Mine is a similar newer model you have on the floor. However, I don't have the hoses going to the trap. It appears to go from the back casing into the trap. I removed the trap and cleaned it well. Some gunk but not much. I believe I identified the clog in the drainage hose going to the sewer drain. So long story, my question is how do I get the water out to stop the sloshing when turning the motor? I don't see any hose to drain. Hope you have a moment and know how to fix...
Thank you so much! I had code library 31 flashing on my Carrier furnace. After struggling to diagnose the problem myself, I turned to TH-cam. My issue was just as you described; clogged condensation line. I also appreciate the heads up on using a bucket. About 1/2 gallon of water came out. My model furnace had the drain line assembly inside the furnace which made it harder to clean. I took some flexible pvc tubing I use for home brewing beer and used it to blow out each inlet. Lots of junk came out. Again... thank you. You saved me a weekend service call to the HVAC company!
Your my hero :) just saved me hundreds of dollars for a repair job on my furnace! The trap was so dirty and clogged! Thank you so much! (It is -34C here in Edmonton, and was in danger of my pipes freezing too..)

just fixed my furnace using this video with below zero temps coming tomorrow and 1 year old in the house. My issue was also the condensation trap as others have said. Your explanation was spot on and thanks for the heads up about how much water was going to come pouring out. I had my bucket ready. Great job making the video and explaining everything. Thanks a million.

When I did this, hardly any water came out. Took the pressure switch off and messed with it for awhile. It seemed to be stuck in open position...now all is well. Just thought I’d throw another idea into this.

Is that right?! You actually blew a mouse in the pipe back outside with a vac? I am going to try that. Lol. That is the coolest tip I have heard in awhile, thanks Brother! I had that exact call last on that exact Carrier IDM. broken wheel at the shaft. The broken plastic wheel bouncing around sounded like a truck being driven through the wall. Very obvious.

Great video. I had about a gallon of water come out of my condenser hose. Turns out the white box trap thing was gunked up. I got the gunk out and water flowing again. This is covered at around the 3 minute mark of this video.

You absolutely rock! This video was super helpful and helped me get my furnace working again with 43 degrees inside and way below freezing temps outside. My family and I thank you!!!!!
Thank you, Ed. I just watched your video and the furnace is at my sister-in-law's, so I haven't tried your tips yet. However, you have given a lot of good knowledge and I feel comfortable I will find the problem. Thanks again. Excellent work.

Thank you so much! Fighting with this furnace for a week. Replaced the pressure switch and no change. Found this video the day before my wife booked a repair guy. Cleaned the trap and done! Thanks again Ed!
my Bryant plus 90 gas furnace was installed in April of 2005 when house was built. I had trouble with it starting and then stopping after 5 - 15 min. then it would blow cold air. This video diagnosed my problem to a tee. It flashed a 31 code and I found the condense lines were clogged. Did as you suggested and cleaned all lines out and no more problems. I will tell you that after cleaning water drain lines I heard a noise coming from the inducer motor but it cleared up after running it a couple of times. At first I also thought the inducer motor was bad but I now think it was the backed up water in the collection box. Anyway thank you for the insight and how to repair this common problem.

Hi, thanks for this video. Saved me a service call. Went through by process of elimination, ended up having a wasp nest left over from summer blocking the intake. Easy fix, blew it out with a leaf blower...but could've been a sevice call.

thank you.. saved me tons of time n money.. had already replaced pressure switch then when it still didn't work found your video and then found the trap clogged.. Working great now
Do you have 24 volts at w and c on the board? Are the batteries good in the thermostat? If you have 120 volts at the inducer and it's not running the inducer is bad.
Thanks Ed! -20 here and all of a sudden the furnace stopped operating. Turned out inducer was full of water and could not spin at full speed. Pulled out drain trap, full of gunk, now seems to be working well :-)

AWESOME! My central heat Carrier had error code 31. With a lot of doubt, I went straight to cleaning the drain trap. I should have gotten the bucket first. About a gallon of water came rushing out as I took off the first drain line. The first few flushes of the drain trap gave nothing. Then a bunch of black junk came flushing out. I re-installed the trap and the unit has been running ever since. THANK YOU !!!
Hi Ed, thanks for your tips with the 31 code issue. I taped the blower cover panel switch down so I could look things over and still run it. Can I expect to know if I've fixed the "31" problem if that cover panel is off? I won't be back at the furnace location for a few more days and was just curious. Thanks a lot.
That door switch has to be held down. Every time you take away the power it resets the fault code . So reinstate the high voltage and wait for it to fault out again.

My furnace is showing the error 31 but only in the mornings. After a cycling, the power, several times the furnace will start and run all day with no problem. It seems to have the problem when it sits all night and does not run until it is time to warm the house up in the morning. Do you have any suggestions?
You'e the man! I cleared the condensate line and trap and also found a wasp nest in the exhaust. After cleaning everything out the furnace fired right up on a -7degree December day. THANKS SO MUCH!!!
Question?? I have the Bryant plus 90 I been having this 31 code played with the drainage think I freed that up seem to work fine for a couple days. Now she will not fire it will got through the process then when the inducer starts and the igniter lights the gas it will quickly shut down. Is this pointing towards the pressure switch?
I have the same model furnace but get intermittent code 14 "ignition lockout" and have to reset the furnace. Two service companies cannot find the problem despite cleaning, inspecting, testing all potential issues. Vents, air intake, exhaust, ptrap, drain, even changed gas valve, same intermittent problem. Anyone have the same problem or solution ?

Excellent video. I found it at 2 in the morning when I had no heat in the house and the temperature outside was 2 below zero. I was getting the LED 3.1 Fault so I followed your video and cleaned the drain trap. Within 15 minutes the furnace was really blowing out the heat. I have a Weathermaker 9200 but I think it was a little newer that the one you worked on. My drain trap was not located on the outside. If you feel like make any more videos and happen the be working on a Carrier Weathermaker 9200 Furnace could you make one on how to locate and clean the Flame Sensor. Thanks again you saved me a couple of hundred dollars. Jeff

Add me to the clogged drain trap. Furnace kept going on and off, couldn't get the pilot to kick on. Went through everything and drained the trap. Still nothing, Then I watched your video again and Although mine was far worse about a year before I flipped it over and another couple of ounces came out. Hooked it back up and then the furnace kicked back on. I think mine just needs to be replaced soon. Years and years of build up may not completely fix the problem. Thanks for the video!
I was on one of these about a month ago. Cleaned it. Back a week later to find that I did not clean it well enough. You have to hear the air sloshing with water through the trap to insure it has been thoroughly cleaned. I am still learning.

Maybe you can help me ... I replaced my inducer last year and now the inducer cycles on and off.... I get no code? Any thought for me. The computer was replaced like three years ago. Still, I cleaned out the water trap and cleared all drain hoses. like I said, no code. Before I call a repair guy I thought I'd throw a hail mary so to speak. Bob

haha5419, My video th-cam.com/video/yPPykXRu2UU/w-d-xo.html Shows your flame sensor from the inside out of the furnace. 50% of the time it is behind an intake pipe. 1/4 " nut driver will drop it down and out. Buff clean with a dollar bill and reinstall.
Thanks such for posting this extremely helpful video, Ed! Got the 31 error code on my Payne furnace model PG9M which kept tripping the furnace off. Checked the condensate trap issue- sure enough, that was it- about a 1/2 gallon of water came out just like you said. Cleaned it out, whole bunch of gunk and funk came out. Works like a charm now! Saved me a service call on an extremely cold Wisconsin January morning! Cheers and Happy New Year to you! 😁
Ed, THANK YOU!!!! This undoubtedly saved me a few hundred bucks. In my case it was the condensation trap. Once I got it disassembled and cleaned out the furnace fired right up. Also, I grew up in Woodbury, so cool to have found this video 👍👍
Next..... Ya homeowners working on own gas appliances....... Scares the shit outta me, my company has a zero tolerance policy, you touch our/your furnace, warranty void, and for good reason.

Perfect!!! some of these air switches has two contact - one on the front one on the back check both! On my Carrier unit the yellow jumper powered both switches - then there was a brown (signal to control board) and orange (signal to control board) two different outputs signals. Inducer housing pressure and collector box pressure (check all 3 tubing- green, black, and black square tubing vacuumed sensing signal). Blow them out (toward the inducer housing) and you can check them with a OHM meter by gently sucking on the hose and hearing them click. Make sure the hoses are good and tight - a very small vacuum leak can cause them to not work!
Thank you! I have a Bryant plus 90, and it was a clogged condensation trap. You made it an easy fix at 2 am at night! God bless!

I was getting 3 error codes: low pressure switch (31), high pressure switch(32), and draft inducer(42). I was thinking failed part of blocked flue. Well, I ran a fish tape down the venting (short length), and it didn't do anything. Then I watched the first minute and a half of this video: you said blocked trap. Sure enough, that was the issue.
I now have glorious heat so much my wife said it was too hot and could I "stop playing with the furnace". :D

@@EdPelto done!
Your advice worked great. Cleaned the condensate trap and the furnace worked great. Also was prepared for the large amount of water.

Awesome! 6years later and you’re still helping people. A plugged condensate trap shut down my carrier system while I was out of town. House got down to 49F. Cleaned my trap and all the hoses and I’m up and running again. I’m sure you saved me several hundred dollars for a tech to come out. Thanks so much!

Not the exact same model as mine, but your video showed me what is wrong. Inducer motor very stiff to turn. Would not start on its own without a spin by hand to help get it turning. Thanks a lot. Very helpful

What a great help. Checked all the easy items first. Pulled the inducer last and found the impeller completely separated from shaft - hence the noise. Hope this fixes the problem of failure to ignite.

I cleaned the drain trap and hooked up a shopvac blower to both tubes and let it blow for a bit and BOOM! it worked thanks for the tips Ed you saved me hundreds. When I blew out the tube connected to the fan it blew out some water so I think that is what fixed it.

Thank you so much, Sir. You have saved the day!!! with your very simple instruction, I was able to fix the code 31 error.
Thanks!
Just thought I'd say thanks for the video! I had a code 31 and replaced the pressure switch with no luck. Your video helped me identify a drainage issue with the trap. I took it out and cleaned it up. Everything works perfectly well. To anyone who might have similar issues, make sure to blow air through all of the inlets / outlets of the trap to remove debris. I simply used my mouth (forming a barrier with my hand). I soaked it all in hot water / dish soap as well before blowing it out.
Hello Ed, Thank You
you just saved me $1800, the tech that came last week indicated that I needed a new secondary heat exchanger.
He did not spend much time and could not explain why I needed it. These 90 percent bryants had a class action suit with regards to the Heat exchangers, (that's another email). In an case I followed you direction and in addition, I disconnected the intake and exhaust pvc an attached a shop vac and blew air through the system. System has worked fine since.

CHEERS to you, Ed!!! Thank you for your very helpful video. On a freezing and snowy April evening our furnace threw a code 23. I read somewhere it had a connection to a code 31. I checked the drain tube as you suggested and found it to be full of water. I disconnected the condensate trap to rinse it and found it was clogged. Some hot water and tapping on the kitchen sink cleared all the dirt and crap from the inside. After putting it all together and crossing my fingers we are a warm and happy family again! Thanks for the help and many blessing to you and yours!
Thank you ! Awesome info on how to diagnose different problems. Helped me figure out my furnace issue was clogged drain. Not pressure switch.

Thanks! I was able to get my furnace running with your help. Clogged trap...but I could not remove mine - the drain was glued to pvc and I'd have to cut it out. However, I found another video that suggested that I could blow it out after removing the pressure switch hose. It worked! Thanks so much.

Ed. I had the 31 code. I watched your video. I fixed it. The little drain hose was shot, so I had to get one from the local HVAC guy. All is good. Thank you!
Please subscribe!
I have the 31 and it gurgles or sloshes when turning the motor that should spin freely. Mine is a similar newer model you have on the floor. However, I don't have the hoses going to the trap. It appears to go from the back casing into the trap. I removed the trap and cleaned it well. Some gunk but not much. I believe I identified the clog in the drainage hose going to the sewer drain. So long story, my question is how do I get the water out to stop the sloshing when turning the motor? I don't see any hose to drain. Hope you have a moment and know how to fix...
Sorry I missed this. You need to take the little rubber elbow off the housing if you have water in there. That needs to come off to clean the trap.
Ed, Thanks for the video! Fixed my problem!
Your welcome. Please subscribe!
Thank you so much! I had code library 31 flashing on my Carrier furnace. After struggling to diagnose the problem myself, I turned to TH-cam. My issue was just as you described; clogged condensation line. I also appreciate the heads up on using a bucket. About 1/2 gallon of water came out.
My model furnace had the drain line assembly inside the furnace which made it harder to clean. I took some flexible pvc tubing I use for home brewing beer and used it to blow out each inlet. Lots of junk came out.
Again... thank you. You saved me a weekend service call to the HVAC company!

just fixed my furnace using this video with below zero temps coming tomorrow and 1 year old in the house. My issue was also the condensation trap as others have said. Your explanation was spot on and thanks for the heads up about how much water was going to come pouring out. I had my bucket ready. Great job making the video and explaining everything.

When I did this, hardly any water came out. Took the pressure switch off and messed with it for awhile. It seemed to be stuck in open position...now all is well. Just thought I’d throw another idea into this.

Is that right?! You actually blew a mouse in the pipe back outside with a vac? I am going to try that. Lol. That is the coolest tip I have heard in awhile, thanks Brother!
I had that exact call last on that exact Carrier IDM. broken wheel at the shaft. The broken plastic wheel bouncing around sounded like a truck being driven through the wall. Very obvious.

Thanks! I would have never thought to look at the drain lines. This was the same as my 2012 Grandaire furnace
Please subscribe!
my Bryant plus 90 gas furnace was installed in April of 2005 when house was built. I had trouble with it starting and then stopping after 5 - 15 min. then it would blow cold air. This video diagnosed my problem to a tee. It flashed a 31 code and I found the condense lines were clogged. Did as you suggested and cleaned all lines out and no more problems. I will tell you that after cleaning water drain lines I heard a noise coming from the inducer motor but it cleared up after running it a couple of times. At first I also thought the inducer motor was bad but I now think it was the backed up water in the collection box. Anyway thank you for the insight and how to repair this common problem.

Hi, thanks for this video. Saved me a service call. Went through by process of elimination, ended up having a wasp nest left over from summer blocking the intake. Easy fix, blew it out with a leaf blower...but could've been a sevice call.

What if the inducer doesn’t come on and isn’t getting power but it’s not a bad board? Drain is cleared as well
Do you have 24 volts at w and c on the board? Are the batteries good in the thermostat? If you have 120 volts at the inducer and it's not running the inducer is bad.
your video just saved my butt sir!

Oh my God thank you so much! My furnace had the exact same problem.
This was the answer I needed to get my heat going again. Thanks for making the video.
Your welcome
AWESOME! My central heat Carrier had error code 31. With a lot of doubt, I went straight to cleaning the drain trap. I should have gotten the bucket first. About a gallon of water came rushing out as I took off the first drain line. The first few flushes of the drain trap gave nothing. Then a bunch of black junk came flushing out. I re-installed the trap and the unit has been running ever since.
THANK YOU !!!

Hi Ed, thanks for your tips with the 31 code issue. I taped the blower cover panel switch down so I could look things over and still run it. Can I expect to know if I've fixed the "31" problem if that cover panel is off? I won't be back at the furnace location for a few more days and was just curious. Thanks a lot.
That door switch has to be held down. Every time you take away the power it resets the fault code . So reinstate the high voltage and wait for it to fault out again.
the problem I have it has two sensors one I have two reset all the time what can cause the problem two orange wires run to the sensors thanks
Probably a bad heat exchanger. Flames are rolling out.

Hi
The blower turns on for a min but then turns off
I am getting a code 31 is that normal?
No. You have to watch the video and figure out which problem is causing it.
Thank you Ed...I cleaned the drain and my blower started working again! Thanks for posting this video, you saved me a service call.

My furnace is showing the error 31 but only in the mornings. After a cycling, the power, several times the furnace will start and run all day with no problem. It seems to have the problem when it sits all night and does not run until it is time to warm the house up in the morning. Do you have any suggestions?
You'e the man! I cleared the condensate line and trap and also found a wasp nest in the exhaust. After cleaning everything out the furnace fired right up on a -7degree December day. THANKS SO MUCH!!!
Well I would like to say thank you very much. Saved me 2,800.

Question?? I have the Bryant plus 90 I been having this 31 code played with the drainage think I freed that up seem to work fine for a couple days. Now she will not fire it will got through the process then when the inducer starts and the igniter lights the gas it will quickly shut down. Is this pointing towards the pressure switch?
I have the same model furnace but get intermittent code 14 "ignition lockout" and have to reset the furnace. Two service companies cannot find the problem despite cleaning, inspecting, testing all potential issues. Vents, air intake, exhaust, ptrap, drain, even changed gas valve, same intermittent problem. Anyone have the same problem or solution ?
I have since then gotten rid of that unit. . I couldn't take the issues any more. .
If all else fails, open up the exhaust pipe and remove the dead birds - Just finished this lovely task on mine.

Excellent video. I found it at 2 in the morning when I had no heat in the house and the temperature outside was 2 below zero. I was getting the LED 3.1 Fault so I followed your video and cleaned the drain trap. Within 15 minutes the furnace was really blowing out the heat. I have a Weathermaker 9200 but I think it was a little newer that the one you worked on. My drain trap was not located on the outside. If you feel like make any more videos and happen the be working on a Carrier Weathermaker 9200 Furnace could you make one on how to locate and clean the Flame Sensor. Thanks again you saved me a couple of hundred dollars. Jeff

Add me to the clogged drain trap. Furnace kept going on and off, couldn't get the pilot to kick on. Went through everything and drained the trap. Still nothing, Then I watched your video again and Although mine was far worse about a year before I flipped it over and another couple of ounces came out. Hooked it back up and then the furnace kicked back on. I think mine just needs to be replaced soon. Years and years of build up may not completely fix the problem. Thanks for the video!
I was on one of these about a month ago. Cleaned it. Back a week later to find that I did not clean it well enough. You have to hear the air sloshing with water through the trap to insure it has been thoroughly cleaned. I am still learning.

Fresh air intakes dropping cold air onto the drain line from the furnace have caused frozen drain lines and this fault as well.
Dude, you rock! Got it working! My drain was clogged. How does that happen?
Not sure. That trap is just a bad design I guess.
Thanks for post, very helpful

Maybe you can help me ... I replaced my inducer last year and now the inducer cycles on and off.... I get no code? Any thought for me. The computer was replaced like three years ago. Still, I cleaned out the water trap and cleared all drain hoses. like I said, no code. Before I call a repair guy I thought I'd throw a hail mary so to speak.

Shows your flame sensor from the inside out of the furnace. 50% of the time it is behind an intake pipe. 1/4 " nut driver will drop it down and out. Buff clean with a dollar bill and reinstall.

Garbage equipment, I feel so sorry for techs that employers deal carrier, or Bryant, not to mention the secondary heat exchanger failures
Thanks such for posting this extremely helpful video, Ed! Got the 31 error code on my Payne furnace model PG9M which kept tripping the furnace off. Checked the condensate trap issue- sure enough, that was it- about a 1/2 gallon of water came out just like you said. Cleaned it out, whole bunch of gunk and funk came out. Works like a charm now! Saved me a service call on an extremely cold Wisconsin January morning! Cheers and Happy New Year to you! 😁
Thanks!
Thank you!
Ed, THANK YOU!!!! This undoubtedly saved me a few hundred bucks. In my case it was the condensation trap. Once I got it disassembled and cleaned out the furnace fired right up. Also, I grew up in Woodbury, so cool to have found this video 👍👍
Next..... Ya homeowners working on own gas appliances....... Scares the shit outta me, my company has a zero tolerance policy, you touch our/your furnace, warranty void, and for good reason.
