1. Abnormal loading on the motor, such as a sudden blockage of the furnace air inlet or outlet. A technician checks the filters, grilles, registers and ducts for blockages.

   Check and replace the furnace air filterYou can do this

   1. Turn off the electrical power to the furnace before you take the filter out.
      Never run the furnace without a filter in place.
   2. Find the filter. It sits outside the furnace cabinet, in a return air grille, a filter rack on the side of the furnace, or the duct next to it. If you cannot find or reach it, ask your installer.
   3. Replace a dirty disposable filter with one of the same size that meets UL900 or CAN/ULC-S111. Wash and dry a permanent filter the way its maker describes.
   4. Fit the filter so the air flows through it in the same direction as before, then turn the power back on.
   5. Check the filter at least once a month and clean or replace it when it is dirty. A dirty filter is the most common cause of a furnace not working properly.
