1993 goodman status light 4 times blinking

Witch blower is running, the inducer or the systems blower?
System blower could mean the the high limit is opening and shutting down the systems gas train, I would check this out first.

The other problem could be with the pressure switch for the gas train, it is supplied from the inducer motor, check to see if it is operating fully.

HSI boards do go from time to time, this sounds more like a system control problem.

My electric furnace constantly runs.. no cold or hot air blowing through the vents.. red LED light blinks 4 times saying limit switch open.. how do I fix the problem?

You'll need to replace the fan limit switch. This little switch is what tells your blower when to kick on and when to shut off. It's stuck open.

Our furnace blows only cold air, after power outage during ice storm. The diagnostic LED light blinks 4 times. This means "High auxilary or Spill Limit Switch Open." How do I correct this...

Spill limit switch indicates that exhaust from the unit was prevented from going into the chimney. This can be a serious problem best left to a Pro.

PGB030075-1 Led light is blinking 4 quick blinks. blows out cold air. What does this mean?

4 blinks indicates a failure at the high limit switch. This switch is usually located on the heat exchanger face plate and has two wires going to it. Usually it fails because the furnace has over heated. The most common reasons are a plugged filter or coil that is limiting the airflow over the heat exchanger. Turn off the power to the furnace, replace the filter, clean any coils in the plenum and verify that all the vents in the home are open. Then turn the power back on and see if it is fixed. :)
If the above solution does not fix the problem, the limit switch itself may be bad from excessive heat. Replace it with a new one. Good Luck!

My furnace blows cold air constantly even in heat mode. It's led light flashes 4 times in a set, what could it be?

On Goodman furnaces, 4 flashes usually means open high limit. Look for any burnt or loose wires or any resettable limits, they should have a red button that clicks when you push on it and wire going in and out of it with spade clips. If the open limit is not resettable, jump it out to verify its open and if that fixes the problem, replace the defective limit. Best of luck.

Gas heater doesn't stay on longer than 5 minutes.

It sounds to me that your air flow is restricted somewhere. The first thing to check is your air filter. If that gets real dirty your restricted air flow will cause the hi-limit(hi temperature limit switch) in your heat exchanger compartment to over heat and open up your gas valve electrical circuit,thus, shutting off the gas to your burners. After the hi-limit switch cools down the furnace will go back to heating again then it will overheat again(you get the picture?) If it keeps cycling on and off like that the house will never get warm if it is cold outside. If your air filter is reasonably clean(you should be able to see light thru it easily) then the secondary heat exchanger could also be dirty, this is located above the indoor fan housing, you would need to pull the indoor blower assembly out of the furnace and look up above. The secondary heat exchanger looks similar to a radiator will fins. You can use a medium stiff plastic brush to brush the dirt,hair, whatever off of it. Another problem spot would be the cooling evaporator coil (if you have central airconditioning) located most likely above the furnace in the plenum(if your furnace is in a basement). This usually is difficult to access if an access cover wasn't installed when the airconditioning was installed. I would recommend an experience service tech to clean it for you. Also make sure all you supply air registers and return air registers are open . These are the things I would check first. Good luck!!
