Homeowner? What Goodman code EOL means for you

Usually minor Your furnace is reporting: OEM test mode. This code is usually informational or minor. The safe checks below often clear it; call us if it keeps showing up.

Safe things you can check yourself

Check the thermostat: right mode (Heat or Cool), set a few degrees past room temperature, and fresh batteries if it uses them.
Make sure the unit has power: its on/off switch (often looks like a light switch near the unit) is ON and the breaker in the electrical panel is not tripped.
Make sure the furnace front door or panel is closed properly; many furnaces will not run with the door switch open.
Look at the air filter. If it is grey and clogged, replace it; a blocked filter causes many shutdowns.
Outside, make sure the intake and exhaust pipes or vent cap are not blocked by snow, ice, leaves or a nest.
Check that the gas valve next to the furnace is open (handle in line with the pipe). Do not force it.
Try one reset: turn the power off for 30 seconds, then back on. If the code comes back, stop resetting and call a technician.
