    Goodman furnace will not stay on
    My furnace kicks on gas ignites for about 3-5 seconds and then shuts down. Any thoughts ?

    Hi Jofrcu and welcome, my thoughts are start by cleaning or replacing flame sensor. If you search AMHD for Goodman furnace you'll get other suggestions. You can also look to the left of this page and find Similar Threads.

    Good luck and let me know how it goes.

    Thank you parttime, that is exactly what I did. I'm not that familiar with HVAC so it took me a while to figure out where everything is. I removed the flame sensor, cleaned it up and the furnace appears to be working fine. The wife and kids are warm again. Thank you
