Applies to: (-)96VA040-115 (R96V / U96V) and (-)(-)96MDV040-115 two-stage variable-speed communicating furnaces

How to fix clear the fault history: step by step

  1. With FL showing in the pushbutton menu, hold the button 5 seconds or more; the right display flashes its top and bottom bars three times.
  2. Or flip dipswitch S3-18 off/on three times (or on/off three times) within 30 seconds, then put it back to its original position.
  3. Faults older than 168 powered hours drop out by themselves.
Safety: Gas, electrical and refrigerant work must be done by a licensed technician. Turn off power and gas before servicing, never bypass a safety control, and always follow the manufacturer's manual for your exact model.
