Re: Goodman Gmnt100 Wont Lite
okay heres an update. I checked voltage around the gas valve. 25 volts. around all limit switches. 25 volts. one limit switch below the gas valve had no reading at all. Contractor was helping me on the phone he said to jump it but there was still no ingnition. I am getting ready to take the ignitor off and clean it. no sand paper. Any other ideas?
I am slowly beginning to realize that goodman sucks. For a four year old machine it has been nothing but trouble. |

Re: Goodman Gmnt100 Wont Lite
have you checked the gas pressure to the valve abd then the pressure out of the valve? LP has a higher operating pressure than Natural gas.

Re: Goodman Gmnt100 Wont Lite
Don't mess with the ignitor. You said it came on, so it's probably ok. They break easily. It sounds as if the gas valve is the culprit. However, that is based on very little info. The parts are under warranty still, but manufacturers do not like to replace parts that work ok. I know fixing stuff is fun, and gratifying, but a Goodman dealer, or any other hvac outfit probably could make kids play out of this problem. Sorry to hear you are having problems, but Goodman isn't a bad company, and they are likely to stand behind their product. But, you need to let them know the problems you have had.

Re: Goodman Gmnt100 Wont Lite
the gas valve switch is on and the propane tank is open.
Drop valve? not sure At this time getting a pro is out of the question. Been laid off and money isnt there. No contractor will work with me. LOL. Ive even offered to be their grunt to pay it off. no luck. so I have to do this myself. |

Re: Goodman Gmnt100 Wont Lite
How much time lapsed between the time your propane was topped off and the problem with the furnace?

Re: Goodman Gmnt100 Wont Lite
thanks guys I got it fixed. I misread a reading on one of the limit switches. the one located on the squirrel cage. (Fan) reading going into it was 25V outgoing was 56v. Repairman that was helping me via phone said thats it. I jumped it and yipppeeeee. we had light.
So check and double check your reading guys/gals. Simple to make a mistake. now i have another question anyone good with ductwork. Existing ductwork isnt cutting it. |
