What does 6 mean?
Goodman's error code 6 indicates that the system has detected an open rollout switch. This switch is part of the safety mechanism that allows the outdoor unit to communicate with the indoor unit. When the switch is open, it's as if the units are not talking to each other, causing the system to shut down. This could be due to a broken wire, a tripped safety switch, or a problem with the control board.
