Goodman vs Amana Codes

Goodman and Amana furnaces use identical control boards and flash patterns. Both brands are manufactured by the same parent company, so the diagnostic codes are the same.

This guide applies to most Goodman and Amana gas furnaces manufactured after 2005.

When to Call for Help
  • Flash code persists after basic troubleshooting
  • Rollout switch error (5 flashes) - safety issue
  • Multiple lockouts or repeated codes
  • Gas odor or burning smell
  • Unfamiliar sounds from furnace
