There is one thing that may correct this issue. You can try to reset the heater. What you will need to do is open the right hand side door and look for the POWER toggle switch, turn that off. Then turn off the Circuit Breaker that goes to the heater. Wait about 15 to 20 minutes, then reverse the order- circuit breaker on, then heater on. Try and start the heater.

If the EO4 code comes up again, look on the backside of the display panel for the diagnostic lights. If there is a problem with the heater, there will be a RED light next to some letters. That will indicate what is causing the issue with the heater.

If you do not have a manual, you can find on online at the following link:

E04 minimax error code

Since you said you replaced the fan, and flow valve. Did you re-install the pressure switch correctly? it will look something like attached image. This is more than likely the cause if you did not replace with the fan or reinstall correctly... or it might have been the cause in the first place...

Ihave a goodman GMPN furnace. The blower will not work, even in the fan on position. If I put in heat position, the burners ignite, but goes out. The module blinks 4 times showing open limit. The blower...

Maybe not! there is a limit switch that has opened not allowing power to pass and start the furnace. You will need to tale a Ohm meter and follow the wires thru any safety switch. In your case, it may be the thermo-disc near or over the burner box. Jump it out to test it. Now why is your blower not working (which could have been the reason why the thermo-disc opened)? Once you find which safety switch is open and you have jumped it out, take a jumper wire and jump between the R and G terminals on the circuit board. This should start your fan. If not, either the fan is stuck, the fan motor is bad or hopefully noy; the circuit board is bad.

I have a pentair minmax nt, natural gas heater. I am getting the E04 message. I know its a fan failure but I hear the fan fine. When I start it, and look at all the LED's in the back, all are lit up except...

This problem is most likely caused by a damaged vac tube or bad vac switch. Check those first. The hose/tube may have been damaged, especially if you have any mice running around. It's most likely the vacuum tube, the switch is not as likely to fail but it's wise to make sure both are serviceable.

Hi. We have a hotpoint washer dryer aquarius wd64

REMEMBER: when checking the resistance ensure that all wiring is disconnected from testing points!

Remove the top cover of the washing machine, you'll see about a foot size aluminum casing of the heater itself. Using a multimeter set on resistance (ohms) check the resistance between two welded pins (heating element) The readings should be roughly fom 0 to 26 ohms. If there's no readings you'll need to replace heating element, othervise check the resistance of thermo-fuse wich is located between those two welded heater pins. one of the wires connects heating element and thermo-fuse directly. The readings should be around 0 ohms, if no reading just replace the thermo-fuse.

Lets end at this point for now, as replacements thermo fuse solves the problem in most cases.

Please update me about your success, If unfortunately it didn't helped, just say and we'll find the solution!

Good luck

Blower stays on with new themostat

Check to see if there is a short between the green wire and the red wire. Green is the fan control wire for AC. Sounds like some wires may be touching. How did the old t-stat get fried?
