What does Bryant 24 mean?

Secondary voltage fuse is open. The chart says to check for a short circuit in the secondary (24 V) wiring.

How it shows: Amber LED on a Bryant 80% two-stage variable-speed furnace (troubleshooting guide TG-GFB80-02). Short flashes are the first digit and long flashes are the second. Code 24 is 2 short and 4 long

Bryant 24 on the 80% two-stage chart means the secondary-voltage fuse is open. The only check in that row is a short in the 24 V wiring. It is not code 23, the pressure switch that did not open. The 987MA modulating chart adds thermostat leads to its own code 24. This page does not copy that sentence onto the 80% chart.

Likely causes

  • Short circuit in the 24 V secondary wiring

Safe checks for 24

  1. Count 2 short flashes and 4 long flashes. A new fuse on a shorted wire opens again
  2. Technicianfind the short in the 24 V wiring, then replace the fuse with the rating printed on the control
Safety firstIf you smell gas, do not touch any electrical switch or use a phone in the building; leave immediately and call your gas supplier from outside. Turn off electrical power at the furnace switch or breaker before opening any panel, and never bypass or jumper a limit, rollout or pressure switch. Gas valve, burner, venting, wiring and control-board work should be done by a licensed HVAC technician.

Capacitors can hold a charge after the power is off. Safety terms.

When to call a pro

Call a licensed HVAC technician if the fuse is open. Do not install a higher-amp fuse.
