Robert,after a little more troubleshooting the problem was found to be a direct short to ground through one of the heating coils. The coil broke in two and fell down contacting the coil frame causing a short. My question is, given the model furnace I have which coil replacement do i need? Thanks, Grinny!

Yep, that can cause that as well, just not as common. Which element broke ?


Can you look on front plate and see what KW it is ?
