Problem: Furnace comes on, doesn’t run long then shuts off. Will work if thermostat is turned way up.
Answer: This sounds like a thermostat problem or an over-heating problem. I would suggest taping the furnace door safety switch closed so it allows the furnace to stay on so you can test the controls. Test with a volt meter set to volts AC and see if you are getting 24 to 28 volts between the W and C (com) terminals on the control board from the thermostat when the furnace shuts off. If you see that 24 volts goes to zero between W and C when the furnace shuts off then the thermostat is cutting the furnace off and you have a thermostat problem. If you continue to get 24 to 28 volts between W & C then you have another control shutting the furnace off. This could be a safety control like a limit, rollout switch or pressure switch cutting the furnace off. Test the limit with you volt meter. If the limit is going to zero (open) then you would have a furnace over-heating problem which could be caused by a slow blower motor, (please check the capacitor) could be a stopped up filter, AC evaporator coil or the gas valve maybe outputting too much gas into the furnace. Below we have a YouTube video that was made by Grayfurnaceman which shows how to troubleshoot a furnace limit. I hope this video will help you out. Thanks to Grayfurnace man!

Hi
I have a new Goodman gas furnace with two stages of heating, which is installed and runs well for months. But recently it appears a problem: the flame turns off in few seconds when it switches to the second stage of heating. Do you have an idea about such a problem and solution? I would appreciate it if you could give me a clue. Thank you!
Hi Peter! I am sorry, but I have no idea why the flame would shut off and come back on when changing from high to low heat. My only guess would be that if you have a two-stage thermostat the thermostat might have a delay between stages. Most of the time if it is like my two-stage Bryant furnace I have the low and high heat set up where the control board determines whether the furnace should be in high or low heat based on the length of time that the furnace runs in low heat. If my furnace runs longer than 10 minutes in low heat the control board automatically without any delay sends the furnace into high heat. I can hear the blower, draft inducer and gas pressure increase when my furnace goes into high heat. You might see if your thermostat is causing the problem. I hope that you can easily find the solution. Sorry that I am not a Goodman dealer and do not know about the new Goodman high-efficiency furnaces. Steve
I have a 20 yr old Goodman PGM060150 rooftop package unit. It will occasionally not reach target heat, showing a 2 blink error code (Open end switch). The end switch is integrated into the exhaust motor, so I replaced the motor/switch component, but I still get exactly the same error condition. (I’ve also cleaned the flame sensor on principle.)
Is it possible that the flame sensor is faulty and shutting down the exhaust motor, thus triggering the open end switch code? (I note that there is no specific code for a flame sensor failure.)
I also note that just barely touching (jiggling) the power wire (or common wire) connection from control board to the exhaust motor usually results in it reinitiating. Possible short in connection on control board?
any thoughts?
Hi Lee! I am sorry, but I do not know what an “open end switch” code error means. I have heard of open limits, open rollouts and open pressure switches, but not “end switches”. Yes, It sounds like you have a short in the wire connection or control board. You should not be able to wiggle any wires and cause the draft inducer motor to start up. You might need a new control board. I was trying to look up parts, but our Goodman parts program does not find any models that start with “PGM” I am sorry that I can not help you out. Steve

Sorry, my bad, the furnace model is PGB060150 rather than PGM060150
The end switch is an independent verification that the inducer motor is running (same function as the pressure switch, I think)
I’ve subsequently replaced the flame sensor and replaced a couple of electrical connectors that seemed questionable. I’m now thinking it must be in the control board (worn or dirty relay)?

I have a gas dryer that takes over 60 seconds (70+ average) for the gas to turn on after the ignitor glows red. That seems to be too long for the gas to kick in. Does that indicate that perhaps one of the solenoids is failing? Thoughts?
Hi Raff! I am sorry, but I do not know about gas dryers or appliance repair. Our site is dedicated to HVAC furnace and air conditioner troubleshooting and repair. Sorry that I can not give you an answer because I am not familiar with appliance repair. I hope you can find the answer on another site. Steve
replaced flame sensor burner stay on few sec what else could happen
Hi Mr. Miles! Sorry that you are still having problems after replacing the flame sensor. I hope that the following post will help you solve the problem: https://arnoldservice.com/problem-i-purchased-a-flame-sensor-from-you-for-my-goodman-furnace-the-new-flame-sensor-did-not-fix-the-problem-my-furnace-still-lights-for-7-to-10-seconds-and-then-the-gas-goes-out-what-could-be/ Steve
I have a nordyne mobile home furnace.had a tecnition out yesterday.he replaced the thermocouple.and cleaned ignitor it ran for about 1hr then wouldn’t heat again. So he turned it all the way down and back up to 75. Then it ran all nite.got so warm I turned it down about 4 am so it must never have worked again very cold in here….the tection says he don’t know what’s wrong if he can’t fix I’m not paying him. Please help need heat in ia
Hi Judy! I am very sorry to hear that you are cold and your furnace is not working. I am very sorry, but about the only way to tell what is wrong is by testing the wiring and components with a volt meter. Where the voltage stops is generally where the problem is located. You will need to troubleshoot the furnace and I know some mobile home furnaces are not in the easiest to get to locations. We have lots of furnace troubleshooting advice on the following page: https://arnoldservice.com/gas-electric-furnace-troubleshooting-simplified-2/ I would suggest going through the troubleshooting flow chart to see what is wrong: https://arnoldservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/furnace-troubleshooting-flow-chart.pdf We also have lots of troubleshooting questions and answers on the following page: https://arnoldservice.com/furnace-troubleshooting-questions-answers-index/ If you have any specific questions please let me know. Thanks! I hope you can easily find and fix the problem. Steve
I will be happy to try and answer any questions you have. Thanks so much for your interest and support in our website! Hope you have a blessed day! Steve Arnold
