SOURCE: goodman furnace 4 blinks

In the compartment with the blower moter there is a little (button) with two wires going to it.(it is attached to the top (you will have to look up in the compartment) if the unit is installed up and down and not on the side.) (If it is in sidways it is in the section between the two comartments). anyways.... on mine there is a little reset button right between the wires.... press it and see if it makes a click sound. try your start up procedure and see if the problem goes away... I don't know if MY equipment got too hot or if the switch is failing... but it worked for me.

Ohm out the safety switches also known as the high limits usually at least two on units they look like little buttons, with two wires going to each one. An open high limit will mean the circuit is not closed and allowing for the system to complete the circuitry to fire the heat, best way to diagnose is to jump out the suspected high limit s/w if the unit runs then you have your answer, but never, never leave the high limit switch jumped w/o the switch.

SOURCE: My Goodman High efficiency furnace stopped working

On the panel with the wiring diagram, there is an error code chart. I think 3 flashes is a pressure switch problem. Check your air filter, condensate pump or hoses. Check the small hoses going to the pressure switch, check your air intake and exhaust vents. Remove any moisture or debris. Make sure all venting pitches back to the heating system and no low spots are holding water.

SOURCE: constant high pitched noise emitting from furnace

Hi,
This is probably a dry bearing in the vent motor. Those motors run at high RPM's and can make a deafening high pitched squeal if they become dry and need oiling.
Some of the motors have oil cups on them for dripping oil into and others;s are much more difficult as you need to guess where the bearing is and try to drip oil down into them or run the oil to them.
Any light weight small motor oil ike a sewr machine oil will work.
Many hardwares have small oil bottles with extending spouts made just for oiling motors for just a couple of bucks...

The other thing that can cause this is if the blower wheel is coming loose and has moved to the side and is hitting the side of the blower housing. Take the bottom cover off and check for play or movement side to side in the blower wheel. Spinning it with the power off by hand may give you a clue as you will hear it scraping the side of the housing.

We have a goodman unit that is both a/c and heat model #PGB048125-1 how do I light the pilot?

if you have a newer high efficiency furnace there is no pilot light. They are all electronic ignition

Furnace thermocouple

older standard efficiency furnaces have a thermocouple. mid and high efficency models do not. they are electronic ignition with a hot surface igniter

Heater doesn't come on?

The electronic ignition system in a gas furnace is a modern development that allows more reliable performance than standing pilot furnaces, provides energy savings and contributes to better furnace efficiency (AFUE). With a standing pilot, found most commonly on older low efficiency furnaces (55% to 65% AFUE is not uncommon), a small gas flame is always burning and is known in the lexicon of American home repair as a "pilot light". The problem with this type of "analog" ignition is that it wastes energy by constantly burning gas and can sometimes be unreliable. These issues have led to the development of electronic ignition systems for mid to high efficiency furnaces that exceed the U.S. government's established minimum AFUE rating of 78%. The electronic ignition occurs typically in one of two ways:
  • Intermittent Pilot, or
  • Hot Surface Ignition The intermittent pilot system uses an electronically controlled high voltage electrical spark to ignite the gas pilot and then subsequently the main burners, when the thermostat calls for heat.
    The hot surface ignition system uses an electronically controlled resistance heating element not unlike a light bulb filament (and shown in the photo above), to ignite the gas burner.
    It is important to understand some of the other components of a modern furnace that you will encounter depending on the type of high efficiency furnace you have. Why? Because they can also come into play in repairing an electronic ignition furnace when it won't run properly. Let's take a quick review of the types of furnace designs and components found in high efficiency furnaces using electronic ignition.

    There is water leaking from the bottom of the new gas furnace. This happend last year and they said a hose was plugged. It is happening again this year and they are saying now it is because we didn't have...

    No. The installers did not properly plumb you hose. You have a high efficient furnace which is really nice. However, this furnace takes out moister from the air when heating, causing condensation. I would look at the installation manual and see if they installed them properly. They might of installed the wrong unit for you home. Most Goodman furnaces can only be installed up-flow meaning in the closet or horizontal installed meaning in the attic. Look at the installation manual to see if they installed the right unit for your home. www.fastacservice.com

    Goodman Model GMNT100-4 Auto Power Down and Up until Temp.

    Keep in mind all furnaces and circuit boards are not the same. Look on the back of the door to the blower compartment. You should find the list of diagnostic codes. Look up four blinks it should narrow down the problem. Although from the discription you gave it sounds lie the high limit control. When a high limit appears to be acting up it DOES NOT mean that the high limit needs replaced. The high limit just may be doing its job. This means that the furnace is overheating. Check your filters. Are all of your registers open? Is your blower set on the right speed? Is your blower going bad? Is the blower motor capacitor bad? Is your evaporator coil restricted? Just changing a high limit switch does not always solve the original problem!
    Good luck....
