Sounds like you have a thermostat problem. If your thermostat is not triggering the furnace to ON/HEAT you will not the heat you desire. IF you know how to trigger the furnace you could jump your furnace controller wires BUT DON'T do this. Instead, get another thermostat and try it. But be sure to get the same rated thermostat... take it with you when looking for a replacement.
Not sure about everything going on with your unit based upon what you provided but your thermostat should show the current temp and the temp you set. It also show the mode that the thermostat is in (HEAT / COOL / AUTO) Manually select heat, then increase temp above the current temp setting. listen for furnace to activate or wait a few minutes for warm air output. If not, you'll have to see assistance trom a local heating and cooling company.
Hello,Good job with description.Something is keeping the condenser off(saftey).Do you have an emergency heat setting on the therm.It will run electric heat strips only until service can check it out.Very rare that the disconnect switch (black box) is it.Need electrical meter to prove it out.
3 amp is standard.the fuse is blowing to protect the transformer.It is telling you that there is a short in the low voltage wiring.Goodman also had an issue with the coil shorting on the contactor.To prevent damage.....i'd call a pro.It should be a fairly simple repair.
2 summers ago, exact same problem with one of our two units outside. contractor that installed the unit when home was built was not helpful and not able to come out. another a/c company explained they would not be able to make it that day, but offered knowledge that often times in my area (San Antonio, TX) ants get into the electrical contacts of the mechanical switch and block the current.
following instructions to trip all the breakers inline and checking this it was confirmed, i cleaned the contacts with pencil erasers (a trick i learned with model car electric leads) and sure enough it's still working 2 years later.
believe it or not the same year my water well had the same symptoms and it turned out to be the mechanical switch was blocked by ants also!
