SOURCE: Coleman furnace blower runs continuously

You should be seeing 120 volts to the igniter. Anything less requires either a replacement of the transformer, start relay or control module.

SOURCE: Goodman furnace GMPN080-4 Getting 4 RED blinks/Open Limit Swtch

You have a limit switch located in the furnace (a little bigger than a dime and located near the center of the front panel, sometimes the switch is mounted to a small fiberglass board) . There will be two wires going to it. They sometimes trip so often that they fail to automatically reset(due to dirty filters or undersized ductwork). You can SHUT OFF POWER TO THE FURNACE, then remove the two screws holding the switch in the furnace, pull the switch out of the furnace and tap on it and wipe it off.
The switch may work a few more times but should be replaced with the same size and type. You will see some rating printed on the switch somewhere. Write down all the numbers and get a replacemet from a furnace/AC supply house. If you have a meter and know how to use it you could check the switch for continuity.

Sometimes just a tap on the switch will get it going. There will also be a couple of rollout switches that could be tripped. They have little buttons on them to reset them. If they trip it may have other issues to be solved.
Hope this helps!

sounds like the primary limit typically behind the gas valve its larger then the others, rectangle in shape with 2 wires going to it. be careful if your bypassing limit this can create a very hazardous condition

SOURCE: Four flashes on Goodman GDS80904BX circuit board

I have this clunker-4 flashes is an open high limit code according to the wiring diagram and fault code sheet. the common denomonator for this furnaces problems is the circuit board. Always flashing 3, 4, 7 times most of the time having nothing to do with the problem. The actual problem is the board it's self. take it off the mounts (POWER OFF FIRST AND SWITCH OFF>)
remove from the 4 mounts one at a time then check the back of the board. you will probably notice brown spots on the green. this is where the board has burned up. replace the board and you will be fine, you will also be the 100th person I know to have this problem. Make sure you take a picture of the board before you take all the wires off so you can put them back properly. I personally have replaced the board twice the first replacement I purchased (warranty) was made by the same company as the original, the second board I replaced 1 year later with a new board made by a new manufacturer. they obviously knew there was a problem.

this is a picture of a board another fixya user sent me today after he had the same problem as you and I told him what to look for. look familliar?

Nordyne model #E1EH-015HA electric furnace blower with a Goodman 3 ton AC unit we cannot get the blower to work properly works in AC mode but reverses the blower motor in heat mode and burns it up

On your control card for your furnace check the fan motor taps for power supply with a multimeter for having the proper voltage. Most control cards have two wires to control fan speed in heat mode and another speed for cool mode operation. You can locate the normal wire colors on the control schematic (electrical drawing) to see if the wires are connected properly.

If your motor has been wired improperly you may have already damaged the windings in the motor and you will need to replace the motor. It only takes about a minute at the wrong voltage to burn a motor up.

You may have a bad capacitor. Most fan blower motors operate at different speeds in heat mode than cool mode and get their voltage applied to different windings in the motor to get different speeds. Most windings need a capacitor to get current and voltage back in phase to increase efficiency, but if the capacitor is bad the motor can run in one mode and can even reverse direction in another mode.

Sounds like I just figured out your problem, get a new capacitor.

Goodman AC blower is not working. How do I fix this problem?

You need a simple relay. But, if you want it to run and never stop temporarily, take the black wire off the relay on the board ( the wire that goes back to the 240 side of the transformer and run it straight to the speed tap from the motor that's connected to the relay. I'll help you with the relay when you get when but this will make it run provided the board or relay is bad.

I have a goodman ar24-1 blower motor that will not start. I have changed the capacitor, checked the thermostat, spun the blower motor but still will not start. Outside unit runs but no blower. Any ideas?...

Check the relay or sequencer that controls the blower if it has one of those. If the fan is controlled by a circuit board then you problem may be there. If it is controlled by a circuit board then you can check for power at the fan connection when the fan is supposed to be on. Then there is always the possibility that you blower motor is burned out. You can use and ohmmeter to check the motor windings. You said you checked the thermostat, how did you do that? If you install a jumper between the R and G connections the fan should run if everything else is OK.

Goodman Model GMNT100-4 Auto Power Down and Up until Temp.

Keep in mind all furnaces and circuit boards are not the same. Look on the back of the door to the blower compartment. You should find the list of diagnostic codes. Look up four blinks it should narrow down the problem. Although from the discription you gave it sounds lie the high limit control. When a high limit appears to be acting up it DOES NOT mean that the high limit needs replaced. The high limit just may be doing its job. This means that the furnace is overheating. Check your filters. Are all of your registers open? Is your blower set on the right speed? Is your blower going bad? Is the blower motor capacitor bad? Is your evaporator coil restricted? Just changing a high limit switch does not always solve the original problem!
Good luck....

Goodman gmp075-3 led blinks 5 times

I Also have the same and other problems with my furnace model # GDS80703AXBB. First the LED kept blinking 4 times and I too jumped the primary limit, that didn't kelp. After several attemps I moved the wires going to the circut board and everything starting working again. After a week It stopped working again, so I pulled the plug out of the circut board checked all wires for for a bad connection plugged it back in. Now the LED blinks 6 times again I move the wires. Then the LED blinks 3 times. Then the transformer burns out. I have burned out 2 transformers and I have ordered a new circut board.

I have a Goodman GMPN120-5 unit where it works for 10-15 second and the blower turns off. After a few minutes it starts again and shuts off. The compressor continues to run though. Any suggestions?

This could be a bad motor, you know those things do happens! It will run till it gets hot and tripps out on internal overload , which reset whens its cools down.!
