Documented for: PG80MSU
Likely causes, most common first
- Incorrect manifold pressure and gas firing rate
- Gas inlet pressure fluctuations
- Improper pressure transducer operation
- Flame sensing problem - see code 34
What you can safely check yourself
- Check that the air filter is clean and vents are open
When to call a technician
Repeated loss of an established flame is a combustion fault. Have a technician verify gas pressure and flame sensing before running the furnace.
A Payne furnace throwing this code repeatedly has a reason — clearing the code without fixing the cause just hides it.
