Control retry period - failed to sense flame
From Service Manual 419804, p.16:
1.Wait for retry. If lockout occurs, remove thermostat demand for at least 30 seconds.
2.Measure door lock assembly resistance across the PTC terminals. Expected: ~200 ohms cold, rising sharply once energized.
3.Inspect strike and latch alignment. A warped door or misaligned strike prevents the switch stack from closing in the correct sequence.
