Furnace blower won't turn on

You may need to replace the sail switch. It senses the fan speed and when it connects the gas valve should open and furnace should fire up.

flame sensor, a disconnected or shorted flame sensor lead or a
poorly grounded furnace. Carbon deposits can be cleaned with
emery cloth. Verify sensor is not contacting the burner and is locatedin a good position to sense flame. Check sensor lead for shortingand verify furnace is grounded properly.

Hello. I have a Goodman furnace model no. GDS80453AMA. The furnace indicator light is blinking 3 times, which according to the schematic, is "pressure switch stuck open". Previously I've had the furnace...

The pressure switch requires a negative pressure (vacuum) to close the contacts. It is measuring the pressure in the inducer and indirectly ensure there is good combustion airflow throught the heat exchanger. Check for a small vacuum, in the neighborhood of 1" water column. Usually the vacuum required to close the switch is stamped on the vacuum switch. Check the vent pipe for obstructions and correct size and installation.
If the pressure aka vacuum switch does not close the furnace will not continue with ignition, for safety reasons.

Fault code says pressure switch lockout

This more often than not, indicates that your pressure switch is gone and needs to be replaced. Watch the YouTube video for a fuller explanation and heed the warning to use OEM parts! Gas Furnace Pressure Switch Failure and Replacement Amazon com gas furnace parts

My pilot is lit.the gas is on and my thermostat is fine,but the furnace will not ignite. Thanks

Don't know your furnace model specifics but if it has a powered exhaust blower it must be blowing and the pressure/vacuum switch must be functioning.

Also if you had a malfunction and the high temp or out of burner flame detectors tripped you will need to replace them or manually reset them depending on type to get things back up and running.

Also most furnaces have a safety switch on the blower cabinet door and will not let anything start up if it is not made..had it happen to me loose panel on furnace shut it all down.
