You will find an error code chart on the wiring diagram pasted to the reverse side of one of the panels. It will help you to know where to start looking for the issue. I am also sending you the sequence of operation to give you a few more pointers, read on.

On a call for heat, the 24 volt thermostat sends a signal to the control module. The control module will indicate a call for heat with a light on the control either blinking or remain solid depending upon model. The inducer (exhaust) blower will purge all gasses from the furnace and pressurize a pressure switch. Once the pressure switch tells the module to continue, the electronic ignition will energize and send 120 volts to the igniter. The igniter will glow and you will be able to see it if viewed thru the small inspection port. Once the igniter gets hot enough, it sends a signal to the module opening up the gas valve (24 volts). Either a pilot will come on or the burner tube will ignite then spread the flame to all burners. Lastly a safety sensor will be looking for a certain temperature within a few seconds and the furnace will continue to operate and the room air blower will turn on in a minute or two.

What could go wrong? The unit will not run if there is no signal from the thermostat (bad thermostat or broken wire), the control module does not sense a signal from the thermostat (bad control), the inducer does not energize (bad motor), the pressure switch does not close (blocked vent piping, bad switch, plugged condensate hose), the igniter does not energize (bad control, bad igniter), the gas valve does not open or there is no gas (bad gas valve, broken wire, no gas), the pilot does not light (dirty pilot), the burner does not light (bad burner, plugged orifice, not enough combustion air), the flame does not spread to each burner (bad flame spreader, dirty flame spreader, more bad burners), the flame safety sensor does not detect flame (dirty or bad flame spreader, bad flame sensor, broken wire, bad control), or the room air blower does not energize (bad fan motor, bad control).

I have a thermal guardian waterbed heater & it keeps blinking, what do you think the problem is?

I had the same question... And when I searched.. I come an article, which states, that it blinks when it's heating up. So I guess when it stops blinking it has reached the desired temp., but much like the heater in your home..it will kick off and on ( from flashing to not flashing) to maintain your desired temp.

Non stop buzzing when key inserted in my 1997 Dakota. Even when I turn it over it keeps buzzing.

Check your starter and see if it keeps running but not kicking in to start engine. If so you have to get the starter repaired or burn out your battery.

Well my dishwasher won't turn on and it keeps blinking clean and I cleaned it and it won't work

1st unplug or dispower appliance for 2 min. Then, be sure door is cloesd, press heated dry key and Hitemp repeatedly until all lights on panel light up; if no....
The clean led blinks 7 times which indicates a heat circuit error.
Pull the kick plate off and behind should be a tech sheet..Look for heat cicuit... Check the heater for continuity..Some models come with kits main erc w heater....If heater test good then replace main erc and neutral line door switch located inside panel w main erc... Estimate for tech to repair $249-$329.... If you follow my directions you may soon one day become a tech..... A good tech would make $100-$150 on this job profit

Sansung model 56 Inch hpl5663w first had a buzzing sound the tv repair man said it might be a color wheel but the tv played well except for the low buzzing sound . then one night the picture went black and...

Hi Charles,

Sorry for the late reply, I'm offline upon purchasing my service.
You have said that you can hear a low buzzing sound before the unit gone to subsequent shutdown and the lamp blinks green(meaning that the unit try to turn on the lamp for consecutive attempts but not generally mean that the lamp itself is faulty.) and the temp led light come on.

As a matter of fact all the information you have mentioned linked to the symptoms you've encountered right now. A low buzzing sound might be caused by faulty FAN inside the unit that trigger the error code (blinking of the standby/temp led light) and turns off the unit automatically due to thermal protection circuit.
However, the technician might be true also that the buzzing sound came from the faulty color wheel. To confirm it, you have to verify where the buzzing sound came from. Color wheel is in front of the lamp assembly. Faulty color wheel can produce the same symptoms you've encountered right now but most of the time, it shows 3 blinking led light at the front panel (Timer, Lamp, standby/Temp).

I would advice you to open the back cover of your unit, fixed the lamp door safety switch with the tape to make it in closed position( if it is on open position the unit will not power up), and then turn on the unit and observe the fans if will spin or not, and check also where the buzzing sound came from before the unit gone to shutdown.
I've suspected that the fault came from the fan based on the led light flashes. Please let me know what you will discover after following the steps above to verify where the exact fault came from. Also, let me know the exact status of the led light at the front panel, (Timer, Lamp, standby/Temp ), which of them lit solid/blinking, it will help us to narrow the caused of the symptoms.

My Heatdish makes an other-worldly ethereal sound when it operates (files.raywired.com/heater.mp3 if you're curious). It drives my wife nuts. Anyone have this prob. or know how to fix it?

This solution has already been posted. I had the same problem as you and the solution that gregstobbe gave worked perfectly. So he gets the credit for this.

I'm only posting this link because he states in a couple of places to look for his solution to the buzzing, but it took me awhile to find it:

Thermostat says ''Aux heat on'' and buzzes when we turn on heat

You most likely have a heat pump, the aux heat (usually electric) comes on anytime the room temperature is 4 degrees below the thermostat setting. Does the buzz go off when the aux heat lite goes out? If the aux heat does not shut off then the primary heater (heat pump) is not putting out enough heat to satisfy the thermostat. I need a little more info. Do you have a heat pump? Is it working?

Presto heaters

We have one in our office where our entry is pretty close to teh main door. It used to buzz all the time after being on for maybe 10 minutes. One day I got sick of it and took a cloth and some windex and cleaned the reflecting dish, and that actually stopped it

Heater/Air air will blow out of defrost and floor vents but not dash vents

it sounds like you had the same problem I had a while back. There is a couple of "doors" on the blower motor that sometimes get stuck or broken, I took my jeep into an offroad shop and they fixed it with spare parts. They assured me that even if you took it to the dealer it's only like a 15-30$ part but it's the shop time that will kill you.
