Lennox

E252

Protect

Discharge air too high

Leaving-air temperature above the gas-heat limit (DAT sensor).

Walk E252 in Diagnose

2 plates — walk the one on the cabinet

First check

1 Airflow before you touch the limit

On Lennox EL195NE a limit is airflow or overfire until proven otherwise. Do not replace the limit first. Filter, blower wheel, A-coil, and the heat-speed setting for THIS motor (tap, model plug, or communicating CFM — not a sister SKU chart). Rise vs plate. Heat CFM in the IFC, not a guess.

Expect: Rise in the rating-plate window. Static vs this cabinet’s blower chart.

The rest of the walkthrough is Diagnose.

On the plates

  • Rise vs plate. Heat CFM in the IFC, not a guess.
  • Input rate / manifold. Sensor itself only after airflow and fire are right.
