"Literally A Payne"
We bought this unit in 2000, after a 1.5 yrs had to replace the ignitor. Since then the ignitor has been replaced 5 times total, the blower has been replaced and now another motor is gone costing over $600...don't think we are going to fix it...time to scrap it and get a different unit. Will it be a Payne, heck no it's literally a pain.
Other PG8UAA Reviews
Reviews about this particular furnace are mixed: some reviewers love the furnace, while others find it to be a continuing source of frustration. The most common problem is a code 33 error on the LED diagnostic board. Contractors on appliangtology.org suggest solutions that involve replacing the thermostat, as well as tapping the limit switch, which seems to solve this problem for one homeowner.
Another error commonly reported is code 31, which occurs when the pressure switch is not closed. When a homeowner writes in to allexperts.com about this issue, a contractor explains that this is attributable to a bad switch, control board or inducer fan. The experts advise contacting a professional determine the exact cause in this case.
Code 14 also is troublesome for homeowners. One individual posts about this error on diychatroom.com, to learn that cleaning the flame sensor is all that’s required to address this issue.
