OEM Carrier Pressure Switch for PG8MAA060155AFJA Gas Furnace

The pressure switch is a safety device that confirms the draft inducer is actually pulling combustion gases through the heat exchanger and out the flue before the furnace is allowed to ignite. On a heat call, the inducer starts, creates negative pressure, and the switch closes to prove venting; only then does the control board energize the igniter and gas valve. When a pressure switch fails, sticks, or its sensing hose clogs, the Carrier PG8MAA060155AFJA furnace will run the inducer but never light, lock out after several tries, short-cycle, or flash a pressure-switch fault code. Homeowners usually notice the inducer spinning or blower humming with no heat. This is a single negative-pressure (normally-open) diaphragm switch with a factory-calibrated trip point measured in inches of water column — commonly in the −0.40" to −0.65" W.C. range for this furnace family. It closes on a rise in draft and opens the instant vacuum is lost. OEM matters because the trip point is matched to your furnace's specific inducer and venting. A generic switch with the wrong set point may trip on perfectly normal draft (nuisance lockouts) or, worse, fail to detect a blocked flue — defeating the safety function entirely. Genuine Carrier switches are calibrated and tested to the original specification. Install difficulty: 2 of 5. Tools: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, and ideally a manometer to verify actual draft pressure. #1 safety warning: kill the breaker before servicing, and never bypass or jumper a pressure switch to 'force' the furnace to run — it exists to prevent carbon-monoxide spillage.
