Goodman Furnace - brand new

tsteiden · #1 Oct 25, 2007, 10:33 AM

Installed this summer, A/C works fine.

First time I started the furnace (last week) it started fine, then shut off shortly (15 min. later).

No led errors are reading on the board. After shutting off power to re-start the start sequence (it shuts down after 3 tries), the inducer motor starts, the pilot glows, but it will not lite.

Waited 2 days (it wasn't cold enough to need it) then tried again - same thing - it starts fine, runs 15 min or less, then shuts down and will not re-start.

What could it be? I read a post about matching the settings on the thermostat for the heat anticipator - how would you do that on a programable?

Any other ideas? I'm stumped.

I installed it myself

If you are running LP gas did you convert it over for it. The furnace is set up for NG from the factory.

Thanks for the replies. No, I'm using NG, not LP.

Yes, I WILL have someone look at it if no one here has anymore ideas of what could be wrong.

Read through the sticky at http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/heating...ons-58313.html

Check the terminals for power to the gas valve. If it has power, and the gas isn't on, it is bad.

Turns out that I neglected to remove a plug from the condensate reservoir before I attached the drain hose. That caused a pressure switch to be disabled when it filled up so the gas valve wouldn't open.

Anyway, it works now. Thanks for the help.
