Furnace Fault Codes

Furnace error code lookup

Pick the brand, type the code — a flash count, a display code like E223, or a status code like 31 — and get the meaning from that manufacturer's own code list, with a link to the full page for the code.

Results appear as you type. Every result links to the full page for that code — causes, what you can check, and when to call someone.

A furnace fault code is not a standard, and several manufacturers publish more than one code list, so the same count can mean different things even within a brand. Each result is labelled with the code system it belongs to; which list applies to your furnace explains how to tell them apart. Not every blink is a fault either — these patterns mean the furnace is running normally.

Before you trust the count

Miscounting flashes is the most common way to land on the wrong page. Reading a furnace fault code covers finding the light, counting the pattern, and telling a repeating code from a heartbeat. If the furnace is doing something a code cannot wait for — gas smell, repeated tripping, scorch marks — go straight to when to stop and call someone.

Safety. A code lookup tells you what the control board saw, not that the fix is safe to do yourself. Anything involving the gas valve, burners, heat exchanger, or venting is work for a licensed technician, and a code that keeps coming back after one reset is a reason to stop resetting and call someone.

How this works

The lookup runs entirely in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere. It searches the same 260 code pages that make up this site, each of which cites the manufacturer manual it was written from. The one-line meanings here are summaries; the linked page has the full entry, its causes, and the source it came from.

This site is a reference, not a substitute for a licensed HVAC technician. Gas appliances can leak carbon monoxide and cause fire. Anything involving gas lines, the heat exchanger, or the flame sensing circuit should be handled by a licensed professional. Pages are written with AI assistance from the sources listed on each page and checked against them before publishing.
