Questions and Answers

    Why is the induced draft blower running continuously on my Maytag Goodman GM9C96 Furnace?
    • D
      Dana HolmesAug 5, 2025
      If the induced draft blower on your Maytag Furnace runs continuously but the furnace doesn't operate, inspect the pressure switch hose and repair or replace it if necessary. Check the flue for blockages, proper length, elbows, and termination. Also, check the induced draft blower performance and correct as necessary. Check the pressure switch operation and replace as needed. Finally, tighten or correct the wiring connection.

    Why is the circulator blower running continuously on my Maytag Furnace?
    • M
      Melissa WilcoxAug 10, 2025
      If the circulator blower runs continuously and the Maytag Furnace doesn't operate, check the filters and ductwork for any blockages, as the primary limit circuit might be open. Clean the filters or remove any obstructions. Check the circulator blower speed and performance, correcting the speed or replacing the blower motor if necessary. Finally, tighten or correct the wiring connection.

    Why are both blowers running continuously on my Maytag Goodman GM9C96 but there is no furnace operation?
    • C
      christophersextonAug 15, 2025
      If the induced draft blower and circulator blower run continuously but the Maytag Furnace doesn't operate, there may be a flame sensed with no call for heat. Correct any short at the flame sensor or in the flame sensor wiring. Check for a lingering or lazy flame. Verify proper operation of the gas valve.

    How to fix Maytag Furnace that fails to operate on high stage but operates normally on low stage?
    • A
      Alec HolmesAug 19, 2025
      If your Maytag Furnace only operates on the low stage, and the induced draft blower is running, but it fails on the high stage, it could be due to the high stage pressure switch circuit not being closed. Inspect the pressure switch hose and repair or replace it if necessary. Also, inspect the flue and/or inlet air piping for blockage, proper length, elbows, and termination. Check the induced draft blower performance and correct as necessary. Finally, tighten or correct the wiring connection.

    What causes a Maytag Goodman GM9C96 to fail to operate when the low stage pressure switch circuit is closed?
    • J
      Johnny BrownAug 26, 2025
      If your Maytag Furnace fails to operate and the low stage pressure switch circuit is closed at the start of the heating cycle, replace the low stage pressure switch. Also, repair any short in the wiring.

    What to do if Maytag Furnace fails to operate and integrated control module LED display provides no signal?
    • L
      Lisa HallAug 30, 2025
      If your Maytag Furnace fails to operate and the integrated control module LED display shows no signal, it may be due to no 115 power to the furnace or no 24-volt power to the integrated control module. Restore high voltage power to the furnace and integrated control module. Correct the condition which caused the fuse to open, then replace the fuse. If needed, replace the non-functional integrated control module.
