System Diagnosis
Ignition Lockout. Control auto-resets after 3 hours after repeated ignition-proving failures.
Bryant Furnaces
Error Code 14
Troubleshooting guide for the Bryant Furnaces system fault 14.
Disclaimer: This information is for general reference. Error codes can vary by model and production year. Always refer to your machine's specific manual and the information printed on the unit itself.
Potential Causes & Solutions
- Check gas supply pressure and valve operation.
- Inspect ignitor for cracks or contamination.
- Verify flame sensor signal and clean sensor rod.
- Check for proper venting and combustion air.
- Control auto-resets after 3 hours.
Verify Before Replacing Parts
- Confirm the exact Bryant model family and furnaces context before acting on a generic code description.
- Walk the entire heating sequence in order instead of jumping straight to the reported code.
- Verify each safety device and prove where the sequence stops under live operation.
- After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the code does not return under normal load.
Field Signals to Confirm
What usually confirms it
A repeatable stop in the heating sequence at the same safety or prove step.
What can fool you
Weak grounding, marginal flame signal, or venting issues can produce inconsistent code behavior.
When to Escalate the Call
- Safety devices keep opening after the obvious mechanical causes are corrected.
- Combustion, venting, or gas input needs a higher-confidence review.
