To test a furnace control board:

1. For 120V Power:

  • Set your multimeter to AC voltage.
  • Place the probes on the board’s incoming power terminals (usually labeled L and N).
  • A reading of approximately 120V indicates proper power supply.

2. For 24V Power:

  • Set your multimeter to AC voltage.
  • Place the probes on the R (24V hot) and C (common) terminals.
  • A reading of approximately 24V indicates proper low-voltage supply.

If voltages are absent or incorrect, check the transformer and fuses. Always follow safety precautions to avoid electric shock.
