Hello, I have a weathermaker 8000, put out by Carrier. I have been noticing a steady decline in the output of our heater, I'm afraid that I don't have the brains or the money for this kind of problem. If anyone replies, please tell me in laymen terms so that I may understand. The heat will go out sometime during the night, My thermostat is set for 72 degrees and when we woke up this morning it was a cool 61 degrees, needless to say we were freezing. We called our neighbor who came over and could not fix the problem, he would get the blower to work, but it would blow out cool air. He said he was not familar with weathermaker 8000's but that the code was showing a 31, (which I've seen posted on the forums, but, don't quite understand, and the other code has been 1 quick 2 long. Could somebody please help me, I'm just a middle aged woman, who dosen't get the problem, and if somebody was able to help I'm afraid I might not understand the mechanical posting, but, will try. Thank You for any help I might recieve.......Sn0wstar40
Please Help!

31 = Pressure switch did not close or reopen.
12 = power has been reset while a heat demand is present (12 happens when you open the panel)
Remove the small rubber tube connecting you inducer to the furnace and verify that it is clear.
Do not blow into the pressure switch.
Verify that a bees or birds nest is not blocking the vent.
If you have a condensate furnace, check the drain. (Condensate furnaces have PVC vent pipes as opposed to metal vent pipes)
"Tip of the Day" Remember to remove power first.
