Lennox locking out — code E227. What's it telling me?
09:41
E227 — low-pressure switch opened during trial for ignition Got your unit from the nameplate: SL280DFNV series. The switch closed, then dropped out mid-ignition — different fault than E223 (never closed). Check: 1. Inducer pressure (in. w.c.) against the switch rating 2. Pressure/condensate tubing — blocked, kinked or iced 3. Flue restriction before condemning the switch
