Furnace Pressure Switch Stuck Open

This is fixed in my prior video.

Furnace pressure switch stuck open. The pressure switch works with a small plunger that pushes in and out. Also noticed the control board was blinking red. If you get a pressure switch code and the inducer will not come on remove one of the wires from the pressure switch. Pushing in the plunger closes the circuit to activate the blower motor so if the switch is stuck in the open position that means the motor will not run.

Tapping lightly on the pressure switch body may open the switch and the unit may start. The pressure switch on a furnace may fail or get stuck in an open position and there are few simple checks you can complete before testing the switch. A pressure switch is designed to sense the negative pressure created by the draft inducer motor during the furnace startup and to shut down the furnace ignition if the air pressure is inadequate. If the inducer comes on the pressure switch is stuck closed.

Replaced circuit board white rodgers 50a50 241 inducer motor comes on then get 3 fl read more. The pressure switch must be replaced. The furnace was loud and caused by the draft inducer. The contacts in the switch are either stuck together or moisture has entered the switched and seized it in the closed position.

Pressure switch stuck open replaced pressure switch still getting 3 flashes wich means pressure switch stuck open.
