Trane: Flame Rollout Switch Tripped

What this fault means

Safety-critical: flame rolled out of the burner box instead of drawing into the heat exchanger, tripping the manual-reset rollout switch. The furnace must be diagnosed by a technician before reset.

Likely causes

  • Blocked heat exchanger or vent
  • Failed inducer / poor draft
  • Cracked heat exchanger (a carbon-monoxide risk)
  • Lint or debris in the burner area

What you can safely check

  • Replace a dirty air filter — restricted airflow causes a surprising share of furnace faults.
  • Confirm registers and the outdoor unit are clear of snow, leaves and debris.
  • Cycle power at the switch once and let the system retry.

Call a technician — don't keep resetting this

Flame Rollout Switch Tripped is a critical-severity fault. Repeated resets of a safety lockout can mask a serious problem such as a cracked heat exchanger (a carbon-monoxide risk) or a failing compressor. If you smell gas, leave and call FortisBC at 1-800-663-9911 or 911 first.
