3. Produktüberschreitungview
The Carrier HK42FZ018 is an upgraded replacement furnace control circuit board designed to manage the operational sequences of compatible Carrier furnaces. It integrates various functions including ignition control, fan operation, and safety monitoring.

Abbildung 1: Carrier HK42FZ018 Furnace Control Circuit Board. This image displays the full circuit board with various components including relays, resistors, capacitors, and terminal blocks. Key labels such as "24VAC COM", "NEUTRALS", and "HEAT COOL" are visible, indicating connection points and functions.
Zu den wichtigsten Komponenten der Platine gehören:
- Terminal Blocks (TB1): For connecting furnace wiring, including power and control signals.
- Relais: Control various furnace components like the blower motor and igniter.
- Fuses (F1): Provide overcurrent protection for the board and connected circuits.
- LED-Anzeigen: For diagnostic purposes, indicating operational status or fault codes.
- Jumpers (e.g., JW5): Used for setting specific operational parameters, such as fan off-delay times (e.g., 60, 100, 140, 180 seconds).
4. Installationsanweisungen
This procedure outlines the general steps for replacing a furnace control board. Always refer to your specific furnace model's service manual for detailed wiring diagrams and safety precautions.
- Stromversorgung trennen: Schalten Sie die Stromzufuhr zum Heizkessel am Hauptverteiler oder Sicherungsautomaten vollständig ab. Überprüfen Sie mit einem Spannungsprüfer, ob der Strom tatsächlich abgeschaltet ist.tage Tester.
- Zugriff auf das Bedienfeld: Öffnen Sie die Zugangsklappe des Ofens, um die vorhandene Steuerplatine zu finden.
- Dokumentenverdrahtung: Before disconnecting any wires, take clear photographs of all connections. Label each wire and its corresponding terminal on the old board. This step is critical for correct reinstallation.
- Kabel trennen: Trennen Sie vorsichtig alle Drähte von der alten Steuerplatine.
- Alte Platine entfernen: Bauen Sie die alte Steuerplatine vom Ofengehäuse aus. Merken Sie sich, wie sie befestigt war (Schrauben, Klammern usw.).
- Neue Platine einbauen: Mount the new Carrier HK42FZ018 control board in the same location and orientation as the old board. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Verkabelung anschließen: Refer to your photographs and labels to connect all wires to the corresponding terminals on the new board. Double-check every connection for accuracy and security. Pay close attention to the 24VAC COM, NEUTRALS, and HEAT COOL terminals.
- Set Jumpers: Configure any jumpers (e.g., fan off-delay) on the new board to match the settings of the old board or the requirements of your furnace model. The image shows jumpers for 60, 100, 140, and 180 seconds for OFF-DELAY.
- Zugangsklappe schließen: Sobald alle Verbindungen überprüft sind, schließen und verriegeln Sie die Zugangsklappe zum Ofen.
- Strom wiederherstellen: Schalten Sie die Stromzufuhr zum Heizkessel am Hauptverteilerkasten ein.
- Testbetrieb: Initiate a heating cycle to verify proper furnace operation. Observe the LED indicators for any fault codes.
5. Bedienung
The control board automatically manages the furnace's operational sequence based on thermostat calls for heat or fan operation. Upon a call for heat, the board initiates the igniter, opens the gas valve, monitors flame presence, and activates the blower motor once the heat exchanger is sufficiently warm. It also controls the fan for continuous operation if selected at the thermostat.
LED-Anzeigen: The board features an LED (visible in Figure 1) that provides diagnostic feedback. Consult your furnace's specific service manual for a list of LED flash codes and their meanings.
6. Wartung
The Carrier HK42FZ018 control board is designed for reliable operation and generally requires no routine maintenance. However, periodic inspection of the furnace system is recommended:
- Ensure the furnace filter is clean to prevent excessive strain on the blower motor and other components.
- Keep the area around the furnace clear of obstructions to allow for proper airflow.
- During annual furnace servicing by a qualified technician, the control board and its connections can be visually inspected for any signs of wear or damage.
7. Fehlerbehebung
If your furnace is not operating correctly after control board installation, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Kein Strom: Check the furnace circuit breaker and ensure it is in the "ON" position. Verify the furnace access panel is securely closed, as some panels have safety interlocks.
- No Heat/Fan: Review all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and correctly matched. Refer to your documented wiring and the furnace's wiring diagram.
- LED Fault Codes: Observe the diagnostic LED on the control board. A flashing pattern indicates a specific fault. Consult your furnace's service manual for the interpretation of these codes.
- Gebläse läuft ununterbrochen: Check the thermostat settings to ensure the fan is not set to "ON" continuously. Verify the fan off-delay jumper settings on the control board.
- Zündfehler: Ensure the gas supply is on. Check for proper igniter operation and flame sensor cleanliness.
Wenn die Schritte zur Fehlerbehebung das Problem nicht lösen, wird empfohlen, einen qualifizierten HLK-Techniker für weitere Diagnose und Reparatur zu kontaktieren.
