Bryant is a trusted brand in the heating and cooling industry, known for its reliable furnace systems. However, like any mechanical equipment, Bryant furnaces can experience issues from time to time. To assist homeowners and HVAC professionals in diagnosing and addressing these issues, Bryant furnaces are equipped with error codes. These error codes provide valuable information about the nature of the problem, making troubleshooting and repair more efficient.

Common Bryant Furnace Error Codes

1. Code 13: This error code indicates that the furnace is experiencing a limit switch lockout. It typically occurs when the furnace’s high-temperature limit switch detects overheating. This could be due to restricted airflow, a dirty filter, or a malfunctioning blower motor.
2. Code 31: Code 31 indicates a pressure switch fault. It means that the pressure switch is not closing when it should, signaling a potential issue with airflow, the venting system, or the pressure switch itself.
3. Code 32: Code 32 points to a problem with the pressure switch or inducer. It indicates that the pressure switch did not open after the call for heat ended, or it opened when it shouldn’t have. This can be caused by a faulty pressure switch, a blocked vent, or a problem with the inducer motor.
4. Code 33: Code 33 is associated with a limit switch fault. It signifies that the furnace’s rollout switch or auxiliary limit switch has opened. This can occur if there is a blockage in the flue or vent, improper venting, or a malfunctioning switch.
5. Code 34: Code 34 indicates that the furnace’s ignition proving failure has occurred. This error can result from issues with the ignition system, such as a faulty igniter or gas valve.
6. Code 41: Code 41 is related to a blower motor fault. It occurs when the blower motor fails to operate at the correct speed or doesn’t operate at all. This can be due to a malfunctioning motor or control board.
7. Code 42: Code 42 signifies a draft inducer fault. It indicates that the draft inducer motor is not operating as expected. This can be caused by a faulty motor or control board.
8. Code 44: Code 44 is associated with a malfunctioning blower motor control. It suggests a problem with the control board or the blower motor itself.

What to Do When You See an Error Code

When your Bryant furnace displays an error code, it’s essential to take the following steps:

1. Power Off: Turn off the furnace to prevent further operation while there’s an issue.
2. Check Air Filters: Check and replace the air filters if they are dirty or clogged. Restricted airflow can trigger many error codes.
3. Inspect Venting: Ensure that the venting system is clear of obstructions and properly installed.
4. Call a Professional: If you are unable to resolve the issue or if the error code persists after basic troubleshooting, it’s advisable to contact a qualified HVAC technician. They have the knowledge and tools to diagnose and repair the problem safely.
