Re: noisy furnace fan

said by lutful:

There is definitely no "draft inducer" fan. I can see the flames through the grill.

Just because you can see flames doesn't mean there is no inducer. What's the model number?

The house was built in 1989. YORK's model number label may be hidden behind the original installer's support label - I will check.

However, I know there is no draft inducer fan because I stood and watched the call for heat cycle. The faint pilot flame magically becomes a huge hissing flame. There is no fan noise at all just flames. The blower does not actually turn on until a minute later.

I checked the schematic again and it seems the heat call always runs the blower on HIGH. Only the manual fan call runs on the MED setting.
