anyone know the Bryant Furnace error codes? I have a red LED that gives dot dash dash

Code 12 (dot-dash-dash or short-long-long) means "Blower on after power up (115V or 24 V)" - Normal operation. Blower runs for the selected blower off delay if unit is powered up during a call for heat (R-W/W1 closed) or when blower on period is activated (R-W/W1 opens).

Does the flash ever stop (LED always on) and does the blower ever stop? If the answer to both questions is yes, then there's nothing wrong with the furnace. You may also reset power (turn off, wait 20 seconds, turn on) to the unit to reset the controller and see if it starts without a status code next time.

My Bryant 80 Plus furnace has an LED for error codes. I'm getting a dot dash dash (.--) for the blinking pattern on the red LED.


NO, LED Does not stop flashing, and inducer fan motor does not come on. Blower motor has to be replaced, it's binding up, even after changing e 7.5 MFD capacitor. Can't keep blower running long enough to figure why inducer fan and heat not kicking in. T-stat set to 80 degrees, unit Is calling for heat.
