DR80TC lockout follows unsuccessful ignition attempts
The manual describes lockout after three attempts during a heat call. Report whether flame never establishes or is lost after establishment. Give the contractor a display photograph and the original unit documentation to identify the exact diagnostic indication.
According to Daikin DR80TC furnace installation instructions, IOD-2043:
Furnace lockout results when a furnace is unable to achieve ignition after three attempts during a single call for heat.
Low flame signal includes sensor condition and position
The diagnostic text names a coated or oxidized flame sensor and sensor position in the burner flame. Ask which observation and test support a repair. Cleaning, adjustment and fuel or electrical checks remain contractor work rather than an instruction to replace the sensor from a light alone.
The Daikin DR80TC furnace installation instructions, IOD-2043 also explains:
Flame sensor is coated/oxidized
Flame sensor incorrectly positioned in burner flame
