Goodman Furnace Code EE1
Soft lockout
Low-stage pressure switch was already closed when the heat cycle started, so the control will not light the burners.
Manual wording: “Low-stage pressure switch circuit closed at start of heating cycle.”
Documented for: Goodman GMVC96, GCVC96, GMVM97, GCVM97, GM9S80, GC9S80, GR9S80, GD9S80, GR9T96, GD9T96 (seven-segment display controls)
Likely causes, most common first
- Low stage pressure switch contacts sticking
- Short in pressure switch circuit wiring
What you can safely check yourself
- Turn the furnace off at its power switch for 30 seconds and back on once
When to call a technician
A stuck pressure switch is a safety-proving device and must be replaced by a technician, never jumpered.
A Goodman furnace throwing this code repeatedly has a reason — clearing the code without fixing the cause just hides it.
