Furnace Won't Ignite? How to Diagnose a Draft Inducer Failure
If a gas furnace won't start or locks out before the burners light, the draft inducer is one of the first components to check. This guide covers how to confirm an inducer failure — symptoms, voltage checks, and confirmed OEM replacement parts for York, Heat Controller, Modine, and more — before you order the wrong part.
