If the hot surface ignitor comes on and fires the burners, and then shuts back down, you need to take a look at the flame sensor. It is a ceramic rod with a metal tip that rests in the pilot flame. When heated from burners, it sends a signal to the main control module, circuit board, which ever this unit is equipped with to keep the burners on. It is a safety to shut the burners down if there is a problem. Take some fine steel wool to clean the metal tip on this and this should take care of the problem. If this does not do it, then 99% of the time you have a faulty control board or module. It will have to be replaced.It is where this flame sensor connects.It will continue to drop out of the circuit, and the fan will start and run. You're T-stat is good or the Hot Surface ignitor would not glow. You will need to take as much info you can from the unit, Goodman and the control, all numbers with you.You can purchase this part at a appliance parts house, or air conditioning parts house. Please keep me informed, I would like to hear back from you. I hope this has given you some direction to follow.Good Luck,

    Hi, Just wanted to add, that if this furnace has the hole in the panel with led lights, it should be flashing a certain amount of times indicating what could also be you're problem.If so, remove this panel and you will have a chart showing you the different codes per flashes, leading you in the right direction.Such as, inducer motor, pressure switch, flame roll out, faulty module, ect. Please let me know for more assistance.Sincerely,
    Shastalaker7
    PS This depends on the year of the furnace also.

Check the flame sensor if the flame sensor is dirty or bad it will not sense that the burners came on and shut the burners down.

I would guess that the fan off setting on your limit is set a little to high. If you have the manual you can see what it says about changing the running time for the fan after the burner has shut off look on the control board and you should see two switches,one to set the time for burners to fire before main blower starts and one to set time for fan to run after burners shut off. To help with the problem you are describing set fan run time up so fan wii run longer. Hope this helps. Thaks.

Make sure that there are no wires connected to the G terminal on the circuit board. There is a blower relay on the circuit board that is probably bad, replace board.

I have a Goodman GDS80904BNA. I'm getting 3 blinking lights telling me that the "Pressure Switch is stuck open". How do I fix this?

These furnaces have notoriously bad circuit boards. The light will give you a diagnostic code and after you have replaced every component there it still will not work right. Need to know more specifically the order of events happening. the blower should turn on (draft blower) then after a second a click and you will see the ignitor glow bright orange then click the gas valve opens and the burners light. most of the time this will all happen and then the flame in all burners will go out and it will attempt the whole process over. if this is the case turn power off and then remove the circuit board from the 4 retainer clips and look at the back 9 times out of 10 the board will be dark brown in one or two spots large spots at that. time to replace the circuit board. They have updated the board and it is being made by a different company now. Take a picture of the board before you remove any wires so you can replace the wires in the proper location.

Goodman furnace seems to be cycling too often. Burner not staying on long enough to put warm air into system. Burner quits after a few seconds then repeats.

dIf the burners are only staying on for about 5 seconds, you proably hav e a dirty flame sensor. Watch the burners light, the glow plug will light one end of the burners, in front of the last burner to light the will be a small thin rod, this rod must sense the flame or the gas will be shut down. Take a piece of steel wool and gently cleqan the rod.

Blower works but no heat

If in fact you have the above listed furnace, you do not have a pilot but electronic ignition. You will need to remove the front cover on the furnace, tape down the door safety switch and then have someone help you by turning up your thermostat to a very high setting. Watch and listen inside the furnace. There should be some blinking going on at the control board followed by a small blower fan starting up. Then after 10-15 seconds there should be a click followed by an orange glow viewed thru the viewing window to the burner section. In a few seconds the gas valve should click and the burners will ignite. There is a safety switch that will sense flame and then keep the gas going to the burners. If it does not sense it, it will shut it off within 10 seconds. If all is well so far, your blower will turn on in about 90 seconds after flame. There is a diagnostic code chart on the back side of the access door if you get an error code (blinking) on the control board.

Always check little things like air filter, condensate drain and broken or loose wires.
