Hello ANGUS,I think 3 blinks is open pressure switch,try taking the door off the furnace.The upper left hand side is a round black box with a hose attached to it .Gently tap the switch(box) and turn off power for 2 seconds andback on,then call for heat.the blower door has a sticker inside that tells you just what the blinks mean.

Rheem Classic 90 FURNACE. Blower motor constantly running, even if t-stat is removed. Led blinks four times. PS closed, is the code. Not a psycho problem, I think it is the voltage transformer.

An LED that blinks four times followed by a two-second pause is signaling the pressure switch is closed when it should be open. The switch itself might be stuck, or the tubing that attaches the switch to the furnace's draft inducer might be blocked

Is there any process needed to implement for the summer to winter thermostat settings

You didn't mention what thermostat(s) you have but most simply require you to go from cool to heat and then check the temp setting(s0 to make sure they are in your comfort zone.

I have a Rheem Furance that has turned off. Just a few hours ago the main fan turned off. The Furnace doesnm't light even the draft fan does turn on and then the main fan blower motor turns on. I can hear...

You will need to reset the furnace by turning the power off to it. Then as the furnace tries to light, watch the LED for blinking. Hopefully it will give a code other than 1. Try checking the air filter for blockage, make sure all hoses are free of moisture and any drains are not blocked. Check the air intake and exhaust pipe for sags where water could block it.

The sequence of operation is this:
Thermostat calls for heat, the LED may blink telling you it registers the call. The inducer (exhaust) blower starts closing contacts in the pressure switch (small disc shaped thing), the igniter glows orange (seen thru a small window high up on furnace front), gas valve opens allowing main burner to light, flame travels to all other burners, flame rod senses flame within a few seconds and keeps gas on. Room air blower starts within 90 seconds.

Any deviation or delay in this sequence and it goes into lock-out.

GOODMAN CMA80905CXBA FURNACE. INDUCTION BLOWER NOT ENERGIZING. GETTING 3 "BLINKS" FROM DIAGNOSTIC LIGHT (LOW PRESSURE SWITCH OPEN). THE A/C WORKS & THE BLOWER FAN COMES ON WHEN THE STAT IS IN...

the pressure switch is closed before the draft motor closes it.the board is telling you that this is not right.pull the wire(either) off of the pressure switch to see if furnace tries to light.if it does,you should replace the pressure switch.
