Service Bulletin
Cold Header Cracks
AUC*, CUC*, TUC*, AUX*, TUX*, AUY*, TUY* Upflow 90+ Gas Furnaces
ORDER No: FURN-SVB10A-EN
Introduction
The purpose of this bulletin is to advise customers of a problem with 90+ AFUE gas furnaces.
The problem is cracking of the cold header. This may also be called the recuperative coil
drain pan. The action described in this bulletin is not being taken to address a safety concern.
CAUTION:
Units installed above finished construction that develop cracks may leak water,
resulting in potential property damage. The corrections recommended in this bulletin
are necessary to ensure cold header integrity of units in the distribution chain and
installed units. These should be checked prior to start up and owner usage.
Discussion
The cause of the cracks has been determined to be oil contamination causing the Noryl plastic
to weaken and become brittle. The source of the oil has been traced to residual oil from the
primary heat exchanger forming process. A new oil was introduced into the process fiscal
week 21 of 2003 (3211* beginning date code) which is incompatible with the plastic cold
header. This was corrected on 10/21/2003, so the ending date code is 3432*.
Symptoms of failures are water leaking from the unit, or failure to close the pressure switch
with vent lengths in allowable range.
WARNING
Service checks and diagnostic procedures described in this bulletin are intended to be
performed by trained, qualified personnel. Some checks may be required to be
performed with voltage present and the hazard of moving parts also exists in these
situations. Failure to follow warnings and cautions in this bulletin may result in
personal injury or death.
Arriving shipments of upflow models prior to 3433* will also need to be inspected
unless cartons are marked with a one inch green dot placed near the carton label.

2) Return to Trenton. (IWDs Only) Some may choose not to conduct inspections. Contact
Customer Service in St. Louis or After Sale Support for directions. (All units previously
inspected and found to be defective must be re-boxed and returned to Trenton for repair).

the circulating air blower and look for a positive pressure reading on the manometer.
This would indicate leakage into the cold header.
2) If a cold header leak is discovered, replace the complete heat exchanger. Cold Headers
are not field replaceable.

Product Changes
Again, the heat exchanger forming lubricant was changed back to the original formula
on 10/21/03. The affected date code range is 3211* to 3432*
We have been checking units at TNDC and are marking good units with a 1 inch
diameter green dot on the carton above the corner label.

1 The pressure switches for the UX/DX/UY/DY furnaces are differential switches.
2 The mounting method for 80+ furnace pressure switches changed with the introduction of the upflow/horizontal models in the 1st quarter of 1996.
Those changes are reflected in this table.
3 These kits contain both pressure switches.
Note: Switches listed on this page by model number are the latest switch listed as of 3/18/98 and may not have the same set point as the original factory installed switch.
Check T.S.B for the latest changes.
Models may be an A or T or F.
