This paper deals with the \((1+3)\)-dimensional nonlinear heat equation \(u_t=\nabla[u^\mu \nabla u]+\delta u, \delta \in \mathbb{R}\), which is reduced by the substitution \(u=v^{1/\mu}\) to the following one: \((*)\) \(v_t=v\Delta v+\mu^{-1}(\nabla v)^2+\delta \mu v\). The symmetry reduction of \((*)\) is performed with respect to all rank 3 subalgebras of its maximal invariance algebra. For each of 12 such subalgebras the author indicates a corresponding ansatz \(\omega_1=\varphi(\omega_2)\), where \(\omega_1\) and \(\omega_2\) are functional independent subalgebra's invariants which reduces \((*)\) to an ordinary differential equation. A number of exact solutions for the reduced equations are found. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0937.00045].
