E2

Lockout

Low-fire PS open

Inducer is on low and the low-fire switch will not close.

9 plates — walk the one on the cabinet

First check

1 Prove inducer and the live code

Do not pull power — that clears the Goodman GMEC96 active code. Write E2. Is the inducer spinning on this call? Silent inducer is not a pressure switch. Inducer 120 VAC and spinning.

Expect: 120 VAC at the inducer on a heat call. Wheel turning.

If fail: 120 VAC missing → IFC / door switch / incoming power. Voltage + dead motor → inducer.

If pass: Inducer running + this code → trap, hose, switch, vent (step 2).

The rest of the walkthrough is Diagnose.

On the plates

Inducer spinning? 120 VAC at inducer on a W1 call.
Collector box, inducer outlet, and condensate trap — this 96% unit will not make pressure with a full trap.
PVC intake/exhaust (bird screen, ice, long run, wind).
LPS hose cracked or on the wrong port (low vs high tap).
Inducer 120 VAC and spinning on the heat call.
Trap, collector, PVC intake/exhaust, LPS hose on the low tap.
Shared-data / CFM settings do not create draft. Fix the vent path.
Inducer 120 VAC and spinning.

Same number, other makers

E2 on Goodman is not the same code on these plates.
