I have a goodman GMP 125-5 furnace. I have

I have a goodman GMP 125-5 furnace. I have a flashing code of 4. (the main fan did turn on during startup before it was supposed to, Indicating a limit switch problem)

I replaced the bad limit switch on the fan which is in series with the main limit swith,
Problem fixed.

Furnace worked 1 night and same problem. I jumped the limit wires to eliminate both switchs and the problem continues. flashing led 4 times and main fan starting prematurely.

Limit swhitchs are bypassed at this point.

You may have another limit that is tripped somewhere. follow all your limit wires from the board and verify all rollouts are closed.

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

Goodman Furnace that turns on and fires on all 4 chambers but blower fan does not come on then everything stops and starts flashing 4 red lights.

It does sound like a bad blower motor but the power that is supplied to the motor comes from a solid state control board which could be the problem.

Janitrol gmp gas furnace ignitor troubleshooting 125 blink

if it is shutting off abruptly the limit is either wired wrong or set wrong. If the fan comes on and blows the flame out there is a hole in your heat exchanger which can result in fire or carbon monoxide poisoning. Have an experienced tech take a look at it to be safe.

I have a Goodman GMP 125-5 furnace. It had a 3 light code i replaced the presure switch now it is giving me a 1 light code please help

A sampling of various failure codes on a furnace:

Read one LED flash that stays on continuously to mean your furnace has no signal coming from the thermostat and will not operate. Turn the power off and check the thermostat for improper settings or connections.

Interpret one LED flash that blinks on and off to mean your furnace has locked out because it could not ignite after three tries, and must be reset. Interrupt power to your furnace for 20 seconds or lower the thermostat so your furnace does not try to heat, then reset the thermostat to the previous setting. After one hour of lockout, your furnace will automatically reset itself and try to operate as usual.

Decipher two LED flashes to mean the draft blower is not working, or your furnace has a short in the pressure switch circuit. Turn off the furnace power and repair a short or replace the pressure switch.


Read three LED flashes to mean your furnace has an open pressure switch circuit or it has an induced draft blower operating. Check the pressure switch hose of your furnace for blocks or an improper connection. Also, look for blockages in the flue, and tighten any loose wiring.

Translate four LED flashes to mean your furnace has a primary limit circuit open, possibly from loose wiring or blocked filters. Check and clean filters, tighten wiring and check the flue for blockages.

Interpret five LED flashes to mean your furnace senses a flame without a call for heat. This could be from a gas valve closing slowly or a burner flame lingering.



Read seven LED flashes as a warning of a low flame sense microamp signal. This could happen with a coated flame sensor or a lazy flame from poor gas pressure. Turn off the power and adjust the gas pressure according to the information on the rating plate.



See eight LED flashes as meaning an igniter circuit problem due to a bad igniter or an igniter connected improperly. Replace the bad igniter or check the ground wiring, making necessary corrections.



Decipher nine LED flashes to mean the high-stage pressure switch circuit will not close during a high-stage-induced draft blower operation. Your furnace may have a pinched or blocked pressure switch hose, a blocked flue or loose wiring.

Read continuous flashing on the LED to mean your furnace has a reversed polarity of 115 volts. Turn off the power and correct the wiring polarity after reviewing the wiring diagram.

Have a gmp125-4 furance blower runs all the time checked themostat wires error code 1 blink then 2 then 3 then 5 furance works if you turn power off turn back on when heat kickes off blower comes on gives...

Sounds like limit switch issue. Furnace heats up, high temp limit switch opens, fan will stay on. GMP model is older and do not have the codes.
May be over fired, have airflow problem, to cause the limit to open.
Next time before shutting off power, try to find the limit, it has two wires that connect to a 1.5 x 2 inch card mount to the furnace fire wall. tap on it and see if the blower stops. If so replace the limit.

My Goodman GMP 125-4 furnace has 4 blinking lights and we currently are unable to get it to come on. What might be wrong?

if this is an error code and you mean that the light blinks 4 times then it is the limit circuit. This could mean either the high limit or a roll out switch is open. the limit switch is right in the center of the furnace above the burner and roll out switches are probably somewhere around the opening of the burner. Follow the wires from the limit to find a roll out switch cause they are in line with each other and the rool out switch could have a button to reset it. However if the roll out is not tripped then you could need to change the limit. Only way to know is to check for continuity.

How to change fan speed on a goodman gmp 100-3 furnace

Usually you can find the control board on the lower part of the furnace. Turn the power off and remove the
doors. This board is usually located directly in front of the blower motor.

On the control board locate the terminals marked heat/cool/park and Park Lets say the Heat Terminal
has a red wire attached to it and you want a higher
speed.

Red is uasually low speed, remover the red wire from
heat terminal and exchange it with a wire attached to
a terminal lab eled park. Black is usually high spped

Goodman furnace\ blower comes on,unasked

Sounds like the fan switch on the furnace is set to low. Turn power off to furnace, take door off of furnace look for a fan switch, it may be a fan - limit together. The limit settings should be approximately 160° to 200°, and the fan settings should be about 100° to 140° set it to 120° it it's already set there then you probably need to replace it.

Goodman GMP075-3 Has 1 single blink on the light

The blink codes are differant on every furnace. Read your code on the schematic found on the inside of the door. You most likey have a dirty flame sensor. Under the burners you should find a "single" wire going to a connector. This will be to the far left or right. Just opposite of a "two" white wires going to the hot surface igniter. Remove the 1/4 inch screw closet to the single wire under the burner. carefully pull out the flame sensor. Clean it with a small piece of sandpaper. Re install it. This should fix your furnace. KEEP IN MIND Goodman GMP models are noted for defective heatexchangers. Pull out the blower assembly and turn it over. If small rings about the size of a dime falls out.... this furnace is unsafe and should replaced!
