Troubleshooting Your Goodman Furnace: E2 Error Code
If you’ve just purchased a brand new Goodman furnace, congratulations! You will soon realize that maintaining it is no small task. Even if your furnace comes equipped with several self-diagnostic and preventive measures to ensure its optimal performance, there may still be times when something goes awry. To help prevent the occurrence of any issues, you should take a few simple preemptive steps before activating your new furnace for the first time. Cleaning the exhaust hood and vent, cleaning all accessible filter slots, ensuring all electrical components are isolated from moisture or humidity and ensuring that the installation location meets all manufacturer recommendations will go a long way in preventing any unexpected problems. However, what can you do if issues do occur? Let’s take a look at some common issues that may arise with your Goodman furnace E2 error code and what you can do to remedy them.
E2 Error Code: What It Means and What to Do
The E2 error code on your furnace is a general code that signifies a problem with the furnace’s operation, but not the specific nature of the problem. The first step when dealing with an E2 error code is to confirm that the problem is actually with the furnace and not some other electrical component located near it. If the problem is with your furnace, you will likely see an error code on the furnace’s display panel as well as an indicator light flashing either a red or yellow light. The error code will remain lit for several seconds and then shut off. The red light is an indication that there is a problem with the furnace’s gas valve, blower, or the furnace’s ability to generate heat. The yellow light is an indication of an issue with the furnace’s power supply or circuit board.
Blower Will Not Turn On
The first thing you should do if your blower will not turn on checks is to make sure that it is receiving power. If it is not receiving power, the problem is likely with the furnace’s circuit board, so it would be best to contact a professional. If the blower is receiving power, you should check to make sure that the fan control is set to “on,” as this is the standard setting when the furnace is in operation. If the blower has been set to “auto,” the blower will not turn on when the furnace is in operation. The blower will only turn on when the furnace’s set-point temperature has been reached.
Furnace Will Not Turn Off
If your furnace will not turn off, you will likely see an error code as well as a red light flashing on the furnace’s control panel. The error code will remain lit for several seconds and then shut off. The reason the furnace will not turn off is likely that it has experienced a power surge and has been damaged as a result. In this case, the best course of action is to unplug the furnace and call for professional repair.
Electronic Board Error Codes
If you experience an E2 error code, you should check the furnace’s owner’s manual to see if the problem you’re experiencing is listed as an E2 error. If it is, you should also read the section regarding this error to see what the recommended solution is. If your furnace’s manual doesn’t list an E2 error, you should check to make sure that the gas supply is turned on, the furnace’s circuit breakers are on, and the fan is set to “on.” This should be enough to resolve any issues that are not listed in the owner’s manual. If these simple troubleshooting measures do not resolve the issue, you should shut down the furnace and contact a furnace repair technician.
Electronic Board Error Code E3
The E3 error code is a general error code used by the furnace when there is a problem with its circuit board. If you see an E3 error code on your furnace’s display panel, you will also see a red light flashing on the furnace’s control panel. If your furnace displays an E3 error code, you should shut it down, unplug it, and contact a furnace technician. You should not attempt to repair a circuit board error as doing so can result in further damage.
Electronic Board Error Code E4
The E4 error code is often accompanied by a flashing red light on your furnace’s control panel. This error code signifies that there is a problem with the furnace’s gas solenoid. The most common cause of this error is that the gas solenoid has become clogged with dust and debris. If your furnace displays an E4 error code, you should shut it down, unplug it, and clean the gas solenoid. If the error persists, you will likely need to contact a furnace technician.
Electronic Board Error Code E5
The E5 error code indicates that the furnace has detected a problem with its gas pressure level. The most common cause of this error is a clogged pressure regulator. If your furnace displays an E5 error code, you should shut it down, unplug it, and clean the pressure regulator. If the error persists, you will likely need to contact a furnace technician.
Electronic Board Error Code e6
The E6 error code indicates that the furnace’s gas supply has become restricted. The most common cause of this error is a clogged gas line. If your furnace displays an E6 error code, you should shut it down, unplug it, and clean the gas line. If the error persists, you will likely need to contact a furnace technician.
Electronic Board Error Code E7
The E7 error code is displayed when the furnace’s gas pressure is too low to generate heat. The most common cause of this error is a clogged pressure regulator. If your furnace displays an E7 error code, you should shut it down, unplug it, and clean the pressure regulator. If the error persists, you will likely need to contact a furnace technician.
