Trane Furnace Code E6.1
Warning
Line and neutral are reversed in the 115 volt supply to the furnace.
Manual wording: “Voltage reversed polarity”
Documented for: S8B1, S8V2 and S9V2 furnaces
Likely causes, most common first
- Voltage reversed polarity
What you can safely check yourself
- Note whether the code appeared right after electrical work or a new circuit was run
When to call a technician
Call a technician or electrician to correct polarity at the furnace circuit.
A Trane furnace throwing this code repeatedly has a reason — clearing the code without fixing the cause just hides it.
