I have a 2 year old Goodman GMV950704CXBB Natural gas furnace. In the morning when the thermostat calls for heat, going from 68 to 73 degrees, the furnace will start, run great until the temp reaches about 71 degrees, then it shutdowns and goes into Lockout mode because it can't restart. I just replaced the igniter and it didn't help. I had a tech check out all the switches and they are operating with in normal limits. I think the system is struggling to drain the condensation, my hoses are clear and have a good path to the drain bowl. I wait an hour or so, reset the power and it starts up again,,,, This seems to only happen when I run the unit for a extended length of time.. Say 1.25 hours or longer. Any ideas? Thank You.

I agree with Jack Morton. It sounds like installer error. Check that your hoses are installed correctly for the furnace drain. It varies depending on whether it's installed up flow, horizontal right or horizontal left. However, I suspect you have insufficient air moving through coil thus overheating furnace. I know it sounds elementary but make sure your filter is not clogged either. Try running furnace without a filter to see if it helps. If it does then you'll need to add another return or enlarge existing one.

Well if it takes a while to act up it's probably overheating, drain issues, or a component failure like a weak high temp limit. That unit has a full variable speed blower motor, so airflow is critical for proper operation. What kind of trouble codes are present when it fails?

SOURCE: Ignition failure after three attempts then sits for an hour.

If your igniter comes on but no ignition, that eliminates the possibility of a bad or clogged pressure switch, high limit or flame rollout switch. Sounds to me like you have a control board, or a gas valve going bad. Could even be some loose, corroded, or faulty wiring. Before the igniter comes on the furnace does a self diagnostics to ensure everything is working, or the furnace will not make it to the igniter sequence. Inducer motor, pressure switch/s, limit controls are closed…then comes on the ignitier, gas valve opens, pilot runners and burners ignite, flame sensor detects the flame, blower comes on and all operations are working.

Hope this helps

SOURCE: Main Fan won't turn off even with thermostat removed. Burner not

There is a chart with the wiring diagram and othere charts that will tell you what the 6 blinks are for. That should tell you what is wrong and what part you need. Sounds to me like the board has an issue or the gas valve is locked out.

SOURCE: Burner ignites and goes out (Goodman Gas-fired furnace)

Hi,
The problem you have is water in the exhaust pipe.
Check to see if the pipe has sagged anywhere or if there is a trap in the line.
If you hear gurgling then it is definetly water....
Some times can be hard to find, even a pipe 1/4 full will cause problems. They are very sensitive to flue problems.
Make sure that the flue pipe either runs back to the furnace or out to the outside, a continuos slope either way witha high spot in the middle.
Also check the bottom drain of the blower if it has one, have had them plug and trap water also..

I hope that this will help you to solve your problem!

Thanks for using Fixya!!

SOURCE: Goodman GS9 propane furnace inducer motor runs continuously

it sounds like the low temp limit switch, the one that cools the furnace down with the burner off and the thermostat open, when it cools to a point the fan stops, the other switch in burner area turns burner off/on, hope this helps

How do I troubleshoot a goodman 2 stage that always starts at high stage

It wouldn't be stuck if that's the case the valve would never shut off. Sometimes those 2 stage heat thermostats stats call for 2nd stage if the room temp drops more than 2 degrees. Easiest way to check is take the w2 wire off of the tstat and try a call for heat. If the furnace kicks on both 1& 2 stages then its either your wiring on the fan board or a dip switch setting. If it kicks on 1stage then it's your thermostat.

I'm not sure of the exact model of my Goodman furnace, but here is the problem. The new furnace was installed this summer (2010) and it is mounted in the space under the house in Big Bear Lake, CA....

I suppose this furnace is fueled by Natural Gas?
(Or is it Propane-- Bottled gas?)

Did the Service company leave you any manual, with your new furnace?
and I would think there was a warranty, for assuring you (the customer) satisfaction, no?
Have you called the people who sold/installed it?
What do they say?

If they did leave a manual-- what does it suggest for narrowing down your possible problems?
Like: Low Fuel-- Low Voltage- Filter Changes, Fan switch problems- or ignition failure problems?

For a new furnace, someone should be right there to do a start-up for you!

Let me know what you learn--

Comfort Master of Berlin,NJ installed new AC & Heater-both Goodman. June both were installed but heater does not function well. Termastat set at 76 degrees and never goes up past mid 60 degrees. ...

Please call your utility company for help with this. If it is natural gas, call the gas company. If it is propane, call your supplier. If neither of those are any help, call your Camden County of Aging and tell them what is going on.

Im sure someone will help you get your heater going. You may need to get an electric heater. I suggest the oil filled type that looks like a old fashioned radiator.

Dress warm my friends to the North and make your calls in the morning.

I have to play with thermostat to get my heating system on

You did not make it clear if the thermostat is a programmable unit or not. I am wondering if the thermostat is not set on the correct heat anticipation setting. A heat anticipater is a small heater that helps the thermostat turn off before it over shoots the desired temperature setting. If the thermostat is set for a 5 degree setting, it will turn off at 63 degrees if set at 68. If the anticipater was set at 1 or 2 degrees, it will shut off the heater at 66 or 67. Newer thermostats will only allow the thermostat to cycle 6 times per hour so if you never reach the desired temp, you have to wait 10 minutes before it will allow a call for heat. Check the installation instructions to see if there is a setting where you can get the anticipator temperature closer to your set temp. Good luck.

Electric furnace runs but won't shut off on heat setting

I would insist that Sears either have a Senior tech come out and fix it or return it to the state it was prior to them touching. Then call some one else. Have them involve the Goodman rep in your area.

Goodman gmp075-3

I am confident the technician(s) have done this but check anyway.
Gas pressure 4-7 inches W.C for natural, 10 - 11 for Propane.
Air filter clean and unrestricted.
Temperature over supply plenum 140 degrees F.
All registers open and unrestricted.
Vent and intake unrestricted and not blocked.
Condensate hoses free of debris and draining.

OK now lets check to see if the furnace is staying on long enough.When it runs for a heat cycle, is the flame staying on until about 2 minutes prior to achieving the set temperature or is it cycling everyfew seconds and never reaching temp? To check you will need to view the flame through a small viewing port of thru the fins in the front door. Watch them for 10 to 15 minutes.

If they are staying on a long time, we will need to see if the room blower is working properly. If they are going out quickly and or cycling. Get the technician on the pone to talk it over. It could be a safety sensor.

If the blower stays on and the burners are on as well, you have a door open somewhere. Just kidding. Remove the thermostst documenting which wires go where. Take the white wire and cross it with the red wire. This will (or should) turn on the furnace. Clamp them together untill the either the house gets warm or you are confident it is not going to reach temperature. If it did get close to the temperature you wanted, it is a thermostat issue. If not, you got me!
