What does E9 mean on a Goodman GMVM97 furnace? PS2 won't close — blocked hose, flue, or drain per the manual. Note: E9 also displays while the control runs its calibration routine; if calibration completes, it clears on its own.

GOOD NEWS: THE FIRST CHECKS ARE FREE AND TAKE MINUTES.

Try these first — in this order

Hose + vent + trap check; let a calibration cycle finish.
