      Well, the switch was stuck open because the port was blocked (closed). Easy enough to mix it up while narrating.

    Yes! Checking in from the Great Texas Blizzard of February 2021. After hours of troubleshooting, found this video.
    Took a straighten paper-clip down the connection fitting and felt a little blockage right away. A couple of pushes later it was unblocked and now everything works perfectly. Thank you thank you thank you.

    Oh my god. My dude. You saved my family from another cold winter. We didn’t have heat last year because we couldn’t afford to pay HVAC to come fix our heater. We live in San Diego county, so it’s tolerable with a few space heaters, but after finding your video I fixed the problem with duct tape. My hose had a tear. I will pick up a new one next time I’m out. Thank you, SO much!

    Thanks... AGAIN!!! I had this same issue Christmas Day and ordered a new switch which took a week to arrive. After putting it in the issue remained. PISSED, I began a new search and found this clip and resolved my issue with a twist tie. The problem showed itself again a few days ago and Inspected my system today 1/21/21 and tested the switch & the hose but did not check the induction motor connection UNTIL I across this clip,. again. Oddly enough, the same twist tie was on my desk and in a few minutes the issues again resolved. Clearly something is loose inside the induction motor that clogs that line. I wonder how much money has been paid to have someone complete a simple fix.. THANKS VERY MUCH!!

  • @kyledodge2533
    @kyledodge2533 2 года назад +1

    Worked like a charm...in my case, the tube had collected enough condensate to prevent air from moving through. I simply disconnected the hose, drained the small (but enough) amount of water, and we're back in business. Thank you so much!

    Today the outside temperature is 20 degrees F and I came home to a freezing house. I watched your video and then checked my furnace and see the red light flashed 3 times. I cleaned the port hole on the pressure switch and the port hole on the motor and put the hose back on. The heat came back on afterward. If I called heating services the cost would have been $300+ easily and the mechanic would take less than a minute to fix it. Thank you.

    Sir, you are AWESOME! Thanks for sharing this video, for the last two years I have been having this issue. Some company wanted to charge me $400 to change the board, today, before seeing this video. I went upstairs to check and noticed the 3 lights and Google it, I took the hose out and blew into it to get rid of any dirt/dust and also bang the pressure switch lightly and my heater started to work. After looking at your video, I will use a small wire to unclog that nozzle where the hose goes into.

    11 degrees outside. Downstairs unit running more than normal and not really keeping up. Cold breeze flowing down from upstairs. Upstairs furnace won’t light. Watched your video and used a 1 cent twist tie to unclog the tube. You saved me time and a lot of money. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video and sharing it with others! Very much appreciated!!

    Great video - smart troubleshooting! I was getting the 3 blinking lights too, but that was a correct system response in my case. My problem was low pressure because the exhaust flue hosing was not attached firmly to the fan housing. I set it firm and flush. No more blinky lights. I'm warm and comfy now.

    Luckily it's a bit after Christmas and there was some type of twisted tie under my bed and it did the trick...I yelled so loud when the heat kicked in again.
    About to get ready and go on in to work...thank you so much again

    Thank you sir, you saved me hours of troubleshooting. My air way was not blocked but I believe the switch itself had grit in it or something. I ended up rapidly putting positive and negative air pressure in the tube while attached to the pressure switch to actuate the little flapper switch inside the housing. when I heard the clicking I reattached the tube to the fan and a warm house I got.

Also repositioning it helped too. So don't get stuck frozen overnight. Fool with it until it works. And when the new one arrives. Pop it in

    @amarinayat8879 4 года назад +3

    Good video! Just want to add a couple of things. The pressure switch actually works on negative pressure. The inducer blower creates slight vacum that triggers the switch . Do not blow or suck on the tube if one end is attached to the pressure switch. That can damage the membrane inside the switch.

    • @akhaqan
      @akhaqan  4 года назад +1

      Thanks. I think it works on positive pressure since the tubing off take is from the periphery of the blower where it is discharging air hence positive pressure. Had the tubing off take been on the eye of the impeller, it would have been negative pressure.

      @amarinayat8879 4 года назад

    It works for my Goodman Furnace MGP100-3. Saved at least a hundred bucks plus other hassles. BTW, the initial blink was 1, as the ignitor came and go but no flame to follow. Later, even the ignitor wouldn't come. I measured the ignitor, it seemed OK. Then it blinked 3 times. Looks like the blinker may not be accurate all the time.
