The Goodman GMS8 Series heater running but not cooling could be due to insufficient conditioned air passing over the heat exchanger. This may be caused by blocked filters, restrictive ductwork, or an incorrect circulator blower speed. A constant red light (4 LED flashes) indicates the primary limit circuit is open, which usually happens when the system overheats due to poor airflow.
Corrective actions include: - Checking and cleaning or replacing filters - Inspecting ductwork for blockages - Verifying and correcting circulator blower speed
Power should be turned off before any repairs are made.
