Low gas pressure can be due to water buildup in the gas line trap. Turn off the gas supply and empty the trap.

SOURCE: Goodman Furnace GKS9 pressure switch problem

Disconnect the small hose that goes from the pressure switch to the inducer motor housing, at the housing, and stick a paper clip in the tiny hole, and pull it up and down, and twist it. this small hole is probably dirty. good luck.

SOURCE: 3 flashing light....Aire-Flo furnace AF80MPA100B5A

That control board is several hundred dollars. If I may make a suggestion, take a jumper and when the inducer fan starts, jump out the pressure switch. If it starts, it's not the board but a bad switch, hose or blocked exhaust vent.

SOURCE: getting 3 blinks on error code LED, checked

i take it the flash code 3 blinks refers you to the pressure switch...see the schematic. If this is what you are saying than lets move on... the voltage across the pressure switch should read 0 if the furnace is running and calling for heat. you dont need to check each wire to ground but across the two quick connect tabs. you will either read 0 or 24 volts (or there about). if you read 0 the switch is closed and functioning as designed. if it reads 24 volts it is open and there is not enough negitive pressure to close it. this can be due to a leak in the rubber tubing or a clog in the pressure switch, tubing, or induced fan housing connection nipple. the flue pipe may also be clogged or an improper cap is used at the termination. last is the wiring could be faulty going to and from the pressure switch. Hardly ever have we found a broken or faulty switch but it could happen. trust the board in most cases.

SOURCE: need help with a goodman gmt070 furnace

it may be clogged at the barbed fitting on the induced draft motor where the pressuer switch tubing connects. take a paper clip and **** it out make sure you can stick it thru freely till you can feel the Inducer wheel then reconnect and try again.

SOURCE: Need to find the pressure switch on my goodman furnace

It's mounted onto the gas valve. It will be a button or lever that you have to push in or down, depending on the style.

My Carrier WeatherMaker 8000 furnace is blinking a red light 2 times pauses then blinks red 4 times with a pause between the 4 times

They are listed inside the front panel of the main unit.
LED CODE
EACH OF THE FOLLOWING STATUS CODES IS A TWO DIGIT NUMBER WITH THE FIRST

DIGIT DETERMINED BY THE NUMBER OF SHORT FLASHES AND THE SECOND DIGIT BY
THE NUMBER OF LONG FLASHES.
STATUS

11 NO PREVIOUS CODE - Stored status code is erased automatically after 72
hours. On RED LED boards stored status codes can also be erased when power
(115 VAC or 24 VAC) to control is interrupted.
12 BLOWER ON AFTER POWER UP (115 VAC or 24 VAC) -Blower runs for 90
seconds, if unit is powered up during a call for heat (R-W closed) or R-W opens
during blower on-delay.
13 LIMIT CIRCUIT LOCKOUT - Lockout occurs if the limit or flame rollout switch is
open longer than 3 minutes.
- Control will auto reset after three hours. - Refer to #33.
14 IGNITION LOCKOUT - Control will auto-reset after three hours. Refer to #34.
21 GAS HEATING LOCKOUT - Control will NOT auto reset.
Check for: - Mis-wired gas valve -Defective control (valve relay)
22 ABNORMAL FLAME-PROVING SIGNAL - Flame is proved while gas valve is
de-energized. Inducer will run until fault is cleared. Check for:
- Leaky gas valve - Stuck-open gas valve
23 PRESSURE SWITCH DID NOT OPEN Check for:
- Obstructed pressure tubing. - Pressure switch stuck closed.
24 SECONDARY VOLTAGE FUSE IS OPEN Check for:
- Short circuit in secondary voltage (24VAC) wiring.
31 PRESSURE SWITCH DID NOT CLOSE OR REOPENED - If open longer than
five minutes, inducer shuts off for 15 minutes before retry. Check for:
- Excessive wind - Proper vent sizing - Defective inducer motor
- Low inducer voltage (115VAC) - Defective pressure switch
- Inadequate combustion air supply - Restricted vent
- Disconnected or obstructed pressure tubing
- Low inlet gas pressure (if LGPS used)
If it opens during blower on-delay period, blower will come on for the selected
blower off-delay.
33 LIMIT CIRCUIT FAULT - Indicates a limit, or flame rollout is open. Blower will
run for 4 minutes or until open switch remakes whichever is longer. If open
longer than 3 minutes, code changes to lockout #13. If open less than 3 minutes
status code #33 continues to flash until blower shuts off. Flame rollout switch
requires manual reset. Check for: - Restricted vent
- Proper vent sizing - Loose blower wheel - Excessive wind
- Dirty filter or restricted duct system.
- Defective blower motor or capacitor. - Defective switch or connections.
- Inadequate combustion air supply (Flame Roll-out Switch open).
34 IGNITION PROVING FAILURE - Control will try three more times before lockout
#14 occurs. If flame signal lost during blower on-delay period, blower will come
on for the selected blower off-delay. Check for: - Control ground continuity
- Flame sensor must not be grounded
- Oxide buildup on flame sensor (clean with fine steel wool).
- Proper flame sense microamps (.5 microamps D.C. min., 4.0 - 6.0 nominal).
- Gas valve defective or gas valve turned off - Manual valve shut-off
- Defective Hot Surface Ignitor
- Low inlet gas pressure
- Inadequate flame carryover or rough ignition
- Green/Yellow wire MUST be connected to furnace sheet metal
45 CONTROL CIRCUITRY LOCKOUT Auto-reset after one hour lockout due to;
- Gas valve relay stuck open - Flame sense circuit failure
- Software check error
Reset power to clear lockout. Replace control if status code repeats.
If status code recall is needed, briefly remove then reconnect one main limit wire to display
stored status code. On RED LED boards do not remove power or blower door before initiatingstatus code recall. After one status code recall is completed component test will occur.

Goodman furnace not heating, low fire pressure switch stuck open.

Question edited for typos.

Gas furnaces has safety features to prevent explosions. If anything is thought to be faulty, nothing works. All gas appliances must be repaired by a registered gas technician. The two pressure switches are $76 and $29 if you want to risk it.

There is videos and help here. Check the hose on the pressure switch.

My American Standard gas furnace is showing a 2 long red flashes followed by 2 short green flashes and blowing cold air

This lights blinks a sort of Morse code, a number that corresponds to a chart located somewhere on the furnace. It's usually on the doors that you remove from the front. For example, a "dot...dot...pause...dot...dot...pause" would be the number 2, which the chart may say indicates something like "ignition failure" or "pressure switch open."

My furnace will not light. What does it mean when the red light on the circut board flashes 3 times?

Hello, a 3 flash on a circuit board means that a pressure switch is open, this could be due to a blockage in the flue pipe or the small tubing that goes from the inducer to the pressure switch is loose, leaking, or is blocked. You can try taking the tubing out and checking if there is anything in it blocking the pressure between the pressure switch and inducer motor and then attaching back on and make sure it's secure and tight. If that does not work that the switch itself is bad and must be replaced.

My Goodman High efficiency furnace stopped working and I getting 3 flashes from the red light in the viewing window. I know that this is a malfunction code but I can't find out what it means. Can you help?

On the panel with the wiring diagram, there is an error code chart. I think 3 flashes is a pressure switch problem. Check your air filter, condensate pump or hoses. Check the small hoses going to the pressure switch, check your air intake and exhaust vents. Remove any moisture or debris. Make sure all venting pitches back to the heating system and no low spots are holding water.

Furnace code light flashes 3 times /pressure switch stuck open

Check the intake and exhaust plumbing for any obstructions. I had same issue, turned out to be ice in the air intake plumbing on outside of house. This may be the problem. The pressure switch can be tested by pulling hose from purge motor that goes to switch and applying a small amount of suction. The switch should make a clicking sound.
