What it means: Limit circuit fault: limit or rollout switch is open. This one often needs a licensed technician.
What to try
- Have a technician check the limit and rollout switches.
34
What it means: Ignition proving failure. This one often needs a licensed technician.
What to try
- Make sure the gas is on.
