No. Go to your thermostat, change the fan setting from "ON" to "AU"..

I lit a burner on the stove, turned on the water heater and let them burn for about five minutes. After that the furnace kicked right on. It's worked great ever since.

Take it back to your dealer since it's under warranty. Let them five it out. But you might try it a few more times in case air just needs to be purged from the lines.

Just tested the furnace in our brand new 171. Fan blows but no heat. Fan shuts off after a couple of minutes. The water heater kicks on just like it should. Ideas? Thanks.
