, posted Wed 5 Nov 14:58  
I have a 6 year old 90% Trane gas furnace that is failing.
I searched the internet and all the Trane problems seem to
be the same thing -- a vacuum leak that keeps the pressure
switch from engaging reliably. After a week of investigating
on my own -- with telephone consultation from my installer,
and advice from this forum -- and then 2 trips out by the
installers, we've decided that the drip tube coming off the
secondary heat exchanger has a failed solder joint that is
leaking air and water and deteriorating more all the time.
Since it's the only problem that Tranes seem to have, it
seems like the company would jump on this and fix them for us.
As it is, I'm already out $350 on service and unnecessary parts
as the problem was misdiagnosed as a faulty switch in the
beginning.
Anyway, I'll try to contact the company directly and see what
they have to say about the situation. One of the technicians
gave me a weird look when I told him that all the problems are
the same and have all cropped up this year. He said that's what
happened when Payne furnaces first started failing some years
back. Hello, Trane!
