Tundra Furnace Installation and Operation Manual

Appendix 5: Troubleshooting

PROBLEM CAUSES SOLUTIONS

Heating inefficient during the first

combustions. Lack of draft.

Improper adjustment of the barometric

damper (opened too wide). Chimney

flue restriction (too long. 90

elbows)

Adjust the damper, minimize the

smoke pipe length and use 45

elbows.

Furnace burns well, warm air plenum

is very hot but there is not much heat

coming out in the room.

Improper installation of the ducts, low

static press0ure, unbalanced system

(too many warm air outlets and not

enough cold air inlets).

Rearrange the ducting to respect the

minimum static pressure of 0.20 in.

w.c.

Furnace consumes a lot of wood. Damper switch left always on. The

thermostat which controls the damper

is continuously activated or is too

close to a source of cold air. Damper

not properly adjusted. House not

insulated enough. Ash plug and

drawer are not tightly closed. Furnace

too small for the surface to be heated.

Unbalanced ventilation system, very

little heat where the thermostat is

located.

If manually controlled, install a wall

thermostat. Relocate the thermostat.

Rebalance the ventilation system in

order to increase the air flow in the

room where the thermostat is located.

A lot of creosote, moderate heat

output.

Wet wood, lack of draft. Barometric

damper not properly adjusted.

Restriction in the furnace or chimney.

Use dry wood. Adjust the barometric

damper. Clean the chimney, flue pipe

and the furnace exchangers.

Furnace heats a lot but the warm air

duct does not get hot.

Wet wood or low grade wood. No

static pressure. Unbalanced

ventilation system.

Use dry wood. Rearrange the

ventilation system correctly.

Primary air inlet damper never opens. Furnace is not plugged-in.or an

electrical component is faulty.

Make sure the furnace is plugged-in a

functional power outlet. Test and

replace if necessary, control switch,

thermostat, themodisc and damper

motor.
