Systems and Methods for Pre-Ignition Moisture Removal in Heating Alliances

A heating appliance comprising:

• a flame sensing unit for detecting a flame within a combustion cabinet of the heating appliance;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• determine that the flame sensing unit is producing a false positive output;
• determine that moisture is present within the combustion cabinet;
• and
• cause, at a first time and based on determining that moisture is present within the combustion cabinet, a component of the heating appliance to perform an action to reduce an amount of the moisture in the combustion cabinet.

A heating appliance comprising:

• a sensor for detecting a flame within the heating appliance;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• determine, prior to initiating a combustion process of the heating appliance, that the sensor is producing a false positive output;
• and
• cause, at a first time and based on determining that the sensor is producing the false positive output, a component of the heating appliance to perform an action to reduce an amount of moisture in the heating appliance.
