Last winter the inducer motor on my York furnace was running loud so I ordered a replacement. Put the new one in, but the furnace didn't start, and instead only repeatedly flashed red three times. According to York, this means that the pressure switch is stuck in the open position, but when I put the old motor back in the furnace kicked back on and worked again with the same pressure switch (though it was still loud). Since the furnace still worked with the old unit, I figured that there wasn't anything wrong with anything else in the furnace unit (like the pressure switch, vent pipes, etc.), so I sent the replacement motor back and asked for another one. Same result with that one (flashes red three times) and then again with a third motor (the third one was OEM with specs that match the old one).
I left the old one in all summer since I wouldn't need it but now that it's getting colder again I'd like to replace the old unit. Any ideas why new ones keep generating the three red flashes and the old one doesn't?
