Goodman Furnace Error Codes — Complete Guide

Every documented Goodman furnace error code with causes, fixes, and the parts you may need. Also covers: Amana, Daikin, Janitrol.

How to read Goodman error codes:
Goodman, Amana, and Daikin furnaces use a flash count system. The red LED on the control board flashes a set number of times, pauses, then repeats. Count the flashes in one cycle. Some models have a 2-LED system (one for status, one for faults).

All Goodman Error Codes

Steady ON

Control Board Failure

The LED is on continuously. The control board has an internal failure.

DIY check: Power cycle. If steady ON persists, replace the control board.

Common part needed: Shop Control Board →

Steady OFF

No Power

No power to the control board. No furnace operation possible.

DIY check: Check breaker, furnace switch, door switch, fuse on board, and transformer.

Common part needed: Shop Transformer →

1 Flash

Open Limit Switch / Flame Rollout

The high-temperature limit switch or flame rollout switch has opened due to overheating.

DIY check: Check air filter, supply registers, blower motor operation, and ductwork. If rollout switch tripped, have a tech inspect the heat exchanger before resetting.

Common part needed: Shop Fan Motor →

2 Flashes

Pressure Switch Stuck Open

The pressure switch did not close when the inducer started running.

DIY check: Check condensate drain, vent blockage, pressure hose, and inducer motor. Clear the condensate trap (most common fix on 90%+ units).

Common part needed: Shop Pressure Switch →

3 Flashes

Pressure Switch Stuck Closed

The pressure switch is closed before the inducer starts, or stayed closed when it should have opened.

DIY check: Check if the pressure switch is stuck mechanically. Tap it gently. Check the hose for water. If it persists, replace the pressure switch.

Common part needed: Shop Pressure Switch →

4 Flashes

Open Fuse / Open Limit

The board fuse has blown or a limit circuit is open. No 24V to thermostat.

DIY check: Check for short circuits in the thermostat wiring. Check the fuse on the board (3A or 5A glass fuse). Find and fix the short before replacing the fuse.

Common part needed: Shop Transformer →

5 Flashes

Flame Sensed Without Gas Valve

Flame is being detected when the gas valve is not energized. Potential gas leak or faulty sensor.

DIY check: Turn off the furnace and gas supply immediately. Call a technician. This is a potential safety issue.

Common part needed: Shop Gas Valve →

6 Flashes

115V Power Reversed / No Ground

Line voltage polarity is reversed or the ground connection is missing.

DIY check: Check the furnace power supply wiring for reversed hot and neutral. Verify the ground wire is connected.

7 Flashes

Gas Valve Error

The gas valve circuit has a fault. The board cannot properly control the gas valve.

DIY check: Check gas valve wiring connections. Test the gas valve coil resistance. If the valve clicks but gas does not flow, it may be stuck internally.

Common part needed: Shop Gas Valve →

8 Flashes

Low Flame Signal / Ignition Failure

The flame sensor signal is too low (below ~1 microamp) or the furnace failed to ignite properly.

DIY check: Clean the flame sensor with emery cloth. Check the sensor wire. Verify gas supply is on and gas pressure is correct. Check the igniter for cracks.

Common part needed: Shop Flame Sensor →

9 Flashes

Ignition Lockout

The furnace has failed to ignite after the maximum number of attempts and is locked out. Requires a power cycle to reset.

DIY check: Power cycle to reset. Then check: gas supply on, igniter glowing (if not, replace igniter), flame sensor clean, gas valve opening (listen for click).

Common part needed: Shop Igniter →

10 Flashes

Blower Motor / Calibration Error

The blower motor is not running at the expected speed or has failed to start.

DIY check: Check the blower motor, capacitor, and wiring. On ECM motors, check the motor module for its own diagnostic codes.

Common part needed: Shop Fan Motor →

Rapid Flash

Line Voltage AC Brownout

The incoming 115VAC power dropped below acceptable levels during operation.

DIY check: Check for loose connections in the power supply. The issue may be external (utility brownout, shared circuit with large appliance). Try a dedicated circuit.

When to call a technician

If the same code keeps coming back after you have addressed the obvious cause (dirty filter, flame sensor, etc.), or if you smell gas, see burn marks, or the furnace will not come out of lockout after a power cycle, call a licensed HVAC technician. Electrical and gas work carries real safety risk.

FAQ

How do I reset my Goodman furnace after an error code?
Turn the furnace power off at the switch or breaker for 30 seconds, then turn it back on. The control board will clear the lockout and attempt to restart. If the same code returns, the underlying problem has not been fixed.
My Goodman furnace shows no LED light at all
No light means no power to the control board. Check: the furnace switch is on, the breaker is not tripped, and the door safety switch is engaged (the furnace door must be fully closed). If all three check out, the control board or transformer may have failed.
Can I fix Goodman error codes myself?
Many codes point to simple fixes: replacing a dirty filter (codes related to overheating), cleaning the flame sensor (codes related to flame proving), or clearing a blocked condensate drain (pressure switch codes). Anything involving gas lines, wiring, or the heat exchanger should be left to a licensed technician.
