Bryant Furnace Code 32.2
WarningShown as: Major code 32 on the LED (3 short, 2 long); 32.2 on the display
Open main pressure switch. If the low-heat pressure switch stays open longer than 5 minutes or reopens, the inducer shuts off for 15 minutes before retrying. On a two-stage furnace this can force the next cycle to high heat only.
Manual wording: “32.2 OPEN MAIN PRESSURE SWITCH - If LPS is open longer than 5 minutes or has reopened, inducer shuts off for 15 minutes before retry.”
Documented for: 926TC
Likely causes, most common first
- Restricted or improperly sized vent
- Plugged condensate drain
- Obstructed pressure tubing
- Defective inducer motor or pressure switch
- Excessive wind
What you can safely check yourself
- Check outdoor vent terminations for snow, ice, or debris
- Check the condensate drain and trap for a clog
- Replace a dirty air filter
When to call a technician
Have a technician confirm vent sizing and pressure switch operation. Do not bypass the switch.
A Bryant furnace throwing this code repeatedly has a reason — clearing the code without fixing the cause just hides it.
