Detailed Code Reference

Steady ON
Normal operation
Cause: Normal standby
Fix: No action needed
1 flash
Ignition lockout
Cause: No ignition after retries
Fix: Power cycle, check igniter and gas supply
2 flashes
Pressure switch stuck closed
Cause: Welded switch contacts
Fix: Replace pressure switch
3 flashes
Pressure switch open / inducer fault
Cause: Inducer motor failure, blocked flue/drain, or bad hose/switch
Fix: Check inducer motor, clear obstructions, inspect hose and switch
4 flashes
Open limit switch
Cause: Low airflow or dirty filter
Fix: Check filter, verify blower operation
5 flashes
Flame sensed with no call
Cause: Gas valve leaking or faulty sensor
Fix: Inspect gas valve, check flame sensor circuit
6 flashes
Power reversed / ground fault
Cause: Reversed polarity or short to ground
Fix: Check polarity, inspect wiring
7 flashes
Gas valve circuit error
Cause: Open gas valve circuit or bad board relay
Fix: Check gas valve wiring, test gas valve coil resistance
8 flashes
Low flame signal
Cause: Dirty flame sensor or weak flame
Fix: Clean flame sensor with emery cloth, check gas pressure
9 flashes
Check igniter
Cause: Igniter not heating or cracked igniter
Fix: Measure igniter resistance (should be 40-200 ohms), replace if open or out of spec

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Goodman error code 8 flashes mean?

Eight flashes on a Goodman furnace indicates a low flame signal. The flame sensor is detecting a weak flame. The most common fix is cleaning the flame sensor with fine emery cloth or steel wool. Also check gas pressure to ensure the furnace is getting adequate supply.

What does Goodman error code 3 flashes mean?

Three flashes on a Goodman furnace means the pressure switch is open or there is an inducer fault. Common causes include a failed inducer motor, blocked flue or condensate drain, a disconnected pressure switch hose, or a bad pressure switch. Start by checking the inducer motor and clearing any obstructions.

How do I reset a Goodman furnace?

To reset a Goodman furnace showing 1 flash (ignition lockout), turn off power at the breaker for 30 seconds and restore it. Before resetting, check the hot surface igniter for cracks, verify gas supply is on, and clean the flame sensor.

Are Goodman and Amana error codes the same?

Yes. Goodman and Amana are manufactured by Goodman Manufacturing (a Daikin subsidiary). They share the same control boards and LED flash code system. Daikin ducted units also use these same codes.
