SOURCE: No heat, trouble shooting light has continious flash.

Try replacing the filter. Low air flow will allow the furnace to overheat. Sounds like a simple answer. Wish I had tried it before buying a flame sensor and controller. Live and learn I guess.

There is a vacuum sensor on most units tied from the exhaust gas fan to the sensor. Does the unit try to start? If the unit's exhaust fails to pull the switch it will turn off after about 30-45 sec after starting. "IT" thinks it's not exhausting and stops to keep from overheating. Do you have this exhaust fan and rubber hose to sensor? Can you see if that fan is turning on start?

SOURCE: flame sensor on a goodman heater

The flame sensor will be located either left or right of the burners and there will be only one wire leading to it. It is positioned so the flame hits it last. So if you watch your flame spread, it will be on the side last to see flame.

Fan is blowing in furnace, thermostat raised 10 degrees over ambient temperature and not heating home. Red and green lights blinking intermittently on control board.

Cycle the power first & see if the furnace goes through the normal sequence of order. On a call for heat, the vent inducer motor should turn on and the pressure switch should prove negative draft in the heat exchanger. the board then should power the ignition phase whenter it is hot surface ignition, or spark, you should hear a spark or see the orange glow of the ignitor & the gas valve is timed to turn on. If you have proper gas to the furnace, it should allow the gas to flow through the gas valve & ignite the flame. Once the flame is ignited, the romote or local sensor should sense the flame & the blower then kicks on from the time delay in the board. If you don't have any ignition, then something is wrong with either the ignitor, ignition module, pressure switch, or you have a manual limit that is tripped(this looks like a small 1/2 inch disc with a reset button on it) If you have ignition & the flame lights, but drops out, then your flame sensor is dirty & needs a touch of sand paper to clean it up(this looks like a 3 inch metal rod opposite of the ignitor) Make sure your power is off when you clean the sensor if you need to. Also if there is no ignition & the vent inducer motor is running... if it is hot surface igniton, there is a molex plug on the leead wires to it- disconnect & check continuity- should be under 110 ohms.

Thermostat calls for heat, purge motor turns on, 15 seconds later hot igniter turns on, then gas turns on and burners are lit. Problem is, they only stay lit for 5 seconds then shut off and cycle repeats...

,Hello, Make sure the flame sensor is clean near the burners, The flame sensor is a metal rod that is on the opposite side of the ignitor. To clean the flame sensor you will need some steel wool, turn off power to the furnace and remove the flame sensor and clean it with the steel wool. After cleaning reinstall it and turn power back on to furnace.

I have a Goodman GDT045-3A heater and the burner is cycling on and off. The error / control LED is on constantly. Turn the heater on everything starts up and after 3-5 minutes the burner shuts down then...

Hello ,
"Usually" a faulty flame sensor will cause the unit turn burns off and on. The furnace usually goes through its start up and burners turn on as they should then if the flame sensor/rod doesn't to sense anything and the furnace doesn't get a signal it will usually cut the burners off and re-attempt the burner sequence again because it looking for that signal from the sensor. The flame sensor is usually located opposite of the ignitor. The flame sensor/rod is usually in from of the burner. Sometimes you can get away with "GENTLY" cleaning the flame rod with some sand paper since its always in direct contact with the flame. Try to get it looking nice and new but do clean too hard as it may break which Iv seen. Make sure you turn off power to the furnace before working on it. Work safe.

Now, as for the LED error light. Usually the owners manual will have something in the troubleshooting section referring the the LED error lights. Perhaps it may have a different issue which corresponds to the LED indication. I would start here first to get you going in the right direction. If it does mention something about the flame sensor/rod then proceed to do the above that I mentioned. Worst case scenario if it does mention this, you will need a new one.

Hope this helps.

On my goodman gmv95 blower starts, glowplug lights, gas turns on, then glowplug goes out and gas shuts off. any suggestions what the problem could be?

You did not mention how long the main burner stayed on. If it stayed on only a few seconds, most likely you have a dirty or bad flame rod. The flame rod is located in the flame path of the last burner to ignite. Take a toothbrush and scrub off any debris that may be on it. Also check all the wire connections from the rod back to the circuit board.

Goodman GMP Furnace problem. Original problem is

Good one! Is the flame getting to the flame sensor within the few seconds? Maybe a good cleaning of the burners or flame tray would help. 1.3 ma is enough for the flame rod to tell the board to stay on. Re-do all the ground connections both at the board and furnace cabinet to be safe. Check the polarity of the power going to the furnace. What are the chances the second board is bad?

Where is the heat sensor on a goodman furnace

Heat sensor....Or a flame sensor. Flame sensor is connected to a "single" wire under the buners usually found on the left side. Heat sensors (or flame rollout switches) are found surrounding the burner box. The most common bad one will be located just above the burners. it "should" have a small reset button in the middle just between the two wires. If the furnace does light even for a short time the rollout switch is not bad.
