PTAC-067 

There has been a part number change on the fan motor for the A*09****MA & A*12****MA Amana ® 

brand room air conditioning units. The change in motors involved changing from a sleeve bearing 

motor (Part # 150113051) to a ball bearing motor (Part # 150110432). 

Units produced February 2007 and later (serial date code 0702) are equipped with the new ball 

bearing motor (Part # 150110432), while units produced prior to February 2007 (serial date code 

0701 and earlier) were built with a sleeve bearing motor (Part # 150113051). The new ball bearing 

motor (Part # 150110432) has a different diameter shaft on the condenser fan blade side of the motor 

and cannot be used on models built prior to February 2007 due to motor shaft/blade fit up issue. 

If you need to replace the fan motor on a unit built prior to February 2007 (serial date code 0701 and 

earlier) you will also need to replace the condenser fan blade (Part # 10331155), or if you need to 

replace the condenser fan blade then you will also need to replace the motor with new motor (Part # 

150110432). 

If you need to replace the fan motor or condenser fan blade on models built February 2007 and later 

(serial date code 0702), all you will need to order is the motor (Part # 150110432) or the condenser 

fan blade (Part # 10331155). 

We are currently updating the parts manuals on these models to include this information to prevent 

confusion in the field when there is a need to replace a motor or condenser fan blade.

Service Letters 

All Service Letters have been combined into this single Acrobat 

document. This allows the user to search by keyword or phrase 

for the desired information. There are several ways to search for 

letters. 

1. The arrows on the Acrobat toolbar allow you 

to search one page at a time, or go directly to each end of the 

document. This is useful for multi-paged letters. 

2. The bookmarks feature. Click on any plus sign to the left of the 

model group name . A list of Service Letters will drop with 

information on that model group. Click on the number of the 

Service Letter you are looking for and it will go to that particular 

page. Use the scroll bar on the left to search up and down for 

bookmarks. This feature works well when used with the indexes. 

3. The index contains a brief description of each Service Letter, 

the date it was released, and the corresponding part number. Use 

the index to view information for each letter, then click on the 

icon of the same name in the bookmarks. Click here to go to 

the index pages. 

Or 

4. To use the search function, click here . In the Acrobat Find 

dialog box enter the word or phrase you want to search for, then 

press Find. Acrobat will search until it finds the first occurrence 

of this word or phrase. To continue searching, press the F3 key 

on your keyboard. This can be very valuable when the user does 

not know which Service Letter contains the desired information.

SP-xxx 

*Note: When using the 0152G00000S dome grille on these models, the fan blade must be mounted 

flush with the end of the motor shaft in order to keep the blade in approximately the same position in 

the orifice. The 0150M00011S and 0150M00002S blades should be installed 3/4" from the motor 

face to the blade hub. 

Condenser fan grille Part # 0152G00000S is a raised (dome) grille, and is required on all GPH/C 

Multi-Position units that use the “swept wing” design fan blade (Part # 0150G00002S and Part # 

0150G00011S). The dome grille will allow the “swept wing” blade to clear the “doghouse” in the “M” 

model heat pumps and coolers. 

For models listing a blade and motor change, both parts must be changed. The motor listed above 

will not perform with the original fan blade, and the fan blade listed above will not perform with the 

original motor. 

For each installed model listed in the chart on the previous page that requires a fan blade and a grille 

change, Goodman will pay $75.00. For each installed model listed in the chart on the previous page 

that requires a fan blade, a grille, and a motor change, Goodman will pay $100.00. 

This claim can be filed on ServiceBench (preferred) as Warranty Type “Epidemic” using 8600 as the 

"authorization" number, or by completing a warranty claim form (RF000007) for each unit requiring 

service listed in this bulletin and must reference Project Code 8600 in section 6 (Project Code) on 

the warranty claim form. The claim will be paid upon review by the Warranty Department. 

All claims for this program must be submitted by December 31, 2008. 

The parts listed in the chart on the previous page are available through Service Parts by contacting 

your Customer Service Representative.

SUBJECT: Propeller Type Noise from Condenser Fan Blades 



® 



SP-015 

Goodman has received reports of a propeller type sound created by the condenser fan blade on 

some GPH1336 & 42H21** package heat pumps. To eliminate this sound complaint Goodman has 

released a new condenser fan motor, fan blade and compressor sound blanket for the 

GPH1336H21. 

If you encounter a noisy condenser fan on these models, replace the current condenser fan blade 

(Part # B1086775S) and the current condenser fan motor (Part # 0131M00007PS) with the new 

condenser fan blade (Part # B1086765S) and condenser motor (Part # 0131M00014PS). On the 

GPH1336 also install a compressor sound blanket part number B1488815S. 

Manufacturing will implement the change to the models listed above in mid June 2007 (date code 

0706). With this change, the minor revision will change from an AB to an AC. NOTE: The first run of 

GPH1342H21’s with the changes listed above will still show the AB revision on the traveler label but 

will have a blue dot on the carton adjacent to the label with the letters AC written on the dot to signify 

these are indeed AC models. The serial plate on the unit correctly identifies these as AC models. 

The GPH1342H21’s were also inadvertently built with sound blankets and subsequent production of 

this model will not include the sound blanket. 

Goodman will pay a $100 labor allowance for field replacement of the condenser fan blade, 

condenser motor, and installing the compressor sound blanket on a installed GPH1336H21** and 

condenser fan blade and condenser fan motor on a installed GPH1342H21**package heat pump 

manufactured prior to July 2007 (serial number prefix 0706 and prior). 

This claim can be filed on ServiceBench (preferred) as Warranty Type “Epidemic” using 8600 as 

the "authorization" number, or by completing a warranty claim form (RF000007) for each of the 

above listed model units experiencing the propeller type noise and must reference Project Code 

8600 in section 6 (Project Code) on the warranty claim form. The claim will be paid upon review by 

the Warranty Department. 

All claims for this program must be submitted by December 31, 2008. 

These parts can be ordered through Service Parts by contacting your Customer Service 

Representative.

SUBJECT: A/GPG Ignition Boards 



® 



SP-014 

This bulletin is being provided in response to field reports of weak or no spark ignition issues on 

A/GPG10, A/GPG12, A/GPG13, and A/GPG15 gas/electric package units. 

Our investigation has determined the capacitor on the ignition control board to be the cause of the 

weak or no spark ignition issues. The affected ignition control boards are part numbers B1809918, 

PCB00123, PCBAG123, PCB00100, and PCBAG100. The service ignition control boards (Part # 

B1809918S, PCB00123S, PCBAG123S, and PCBAG100S) are also affected. 

The affected control boards have a capacitor date code of 636, 637, and 638. Figure 1 below shows 

the location of the capacitor on the control board and Figure 2 shows the location of date code on the 

capacitor (Note: The date code may be on the opposite side of the capacitor depending on the 

installation orientation of the capacitor on the control board). 

Figure 1 Figure 2 

Distributor inventory should be checked on the above listed ignition control boards for the 636, 637, 

and 638 capacitor date codes. Distributors will need to contact their Customer Service Representative 

and reference Service Bulletin SP-014 for an RMA to have the ignition control boards with the listed 

capacitor date codes returned. All affected controls must be returned by May 31, 2007. Distributors 

will need to reorder the quantities needed for their inventory. 

All Goodman Production and Service Parts inventory of the above listed Ignition Control Boards have 

been inspected to ensure there are no 636, 637, or 638 capacitor date codes.

SUBJECT: Introduction of New HKR3 Heater Kit for GPH/C 3 Phase Package Units 

The HKR3-**A revision heater kits are being replaced with the HKR3-**B revision heater kits to 

accommodate installation in the GPH/GPC “M” model 3 phase heat pumps and coolers. The B 

revision heater kits have longer wires to allow installation of the contactor to the mounting plate in 

the GPH/GPC “M” model 3 phase units. 

The HKR3-**A revision heater kit may be used in the GPH/GPC13**M23** model units, but you will 

need to replace the blue and white wires from the sequencer coil to the contactor coil with longer 

wires. 

These wires may be field supplied by using two 18 gauge wires approximately 19” long, terminated 

with a ¼” female spade terminal on each end, or if you prefer, you may contact Technical Services 

at 888-593-9988 for the installation instructions and the 2 wires.




SUBJECT: A/GPG15 Adapter Harness 



® 



SP-011 

This bulletin is to inform you of the additional wiring adapter harness included with the first 

production of A/GPG15 model package gas/electric units. These units will be equipped with a 

control board (Part # PCB00100) that uses 3/16” male terminals for attaching the indoor blower 

motor speed taps to the board. 

All subsequent units will be produced with a control board (Part # PCBAG100) with a 5 pin plug for 

attaching the indoor blower motor speeds. The service replacement control board (Part # 

PCBAG100S) will also utilize a 5 pin plug for attaching the indoor blower motor speeds. This 

adapter harness will not be needed for units produced with the 5 pin connector on the control 

board. 

The adapter harness (Figure 1) consist of 4 wires, each wire being terminated on one end with a 

3/16” male insulated terminal and the other end terminating in the 5 pin male plug. 


The adapter harness is located in the control panel and is wire tied to the existing wires as shown 

in Figure 2. There is a label attached to the harness stating the purpose of the harness. 

Do not discard the adapter harness. The adapter harness will be necessary should the ignition 

control board ever need replacing in the future. If this harness is missing, contact Technical 

Services at 888-593-9988.

SUBJECT: LVBK Issues 



® 



SP-010 

This letter is to inform you of 2 separate issues with the LVBK Louvered Block-off Kits. 

The first issue concerns only the LVBK-02 Louvered Block-off Kits. Goodman has determined that 

the LVBK-02 Louvered Block-off Kits have the incorrect block-off plate. The LVBK-02 kits have the 

9” block-off plate when they should have the 7” block-off plate. Distributors will need to determine 

the quantity of block-off plates needed (2 per kit) and call their Customer Service Representative to 

have the correct block-off plates shipped to them. The correct block-off plate (Part # 0254G00000) 

will be provided to distributors at no charge. 

The second issue concerns the LVBK-01, LVBK-02, and LVBK-03 Louvered Block-off Kits. Upon 

investigation, Goodman has determined the lower flue hood (Figures 1 and 2) and the updated 

installation instructions were not added to some of the LVBK-0* kits. These kits should be 

inspected immediately to insure the LVBK-0* kit has the lower flue hood and the correct installation 

instructions (IO-650A). If the lower flue hood and correct installation instructions are not located in 

the kit, the RCK01 kit will need to be added to the LVBK-0*. The RCK01 includes the Lower Flue 

Hood and the Installation Instructions for the Lower Flue Hood. The RCK01 will be provided to 

distributors at no charge. Distributors will need to determine the quantity of RCK01 kits needed and 

call their Customer Service Representative to have the RCK01 kits shipped to them. 

Any LVBK-0* kits you receive after 11/10/06 will have been reworked if necessary and relabeled as 

LVBK-0*A. This is mentioned in service bulletin SP-007, but the kits did not get relabeled after they 

were reworked.


DATE: July 10, 2006 


SUBJECT: Vibrating/Noisy Condenser Fan Blades 



® 



SP-009 Rev. 1 

Supersedes SP-009 

We have received reports of noisy and/or vibrating condenser fan blades on the GPC1348-60 model 

package coolers, GPH1348-60 model package heat pumps, A/GPG1348-60 and A/GPG1260 

package gas/electric units. 

If you encounter any of these model units with a noisy or vibrating condenser fan blade, replace the 

current condenser fan blade (Part # 0150M00003P) with the new condenser fan blade (Part # 

0150G00001S). 

When installing the new condenser fan blade, it is important to position the blade on the motor shaft 

as close to the motor as possible without the blade hitting the motor and still have the set screw on 

the flat of the shaft (approximately ¾” between the face of the motor and the fan blade hub). 

Manufacturing will implement the use of the new condenser fan blade in the above mentioned 

models beginning the first week of July 2006. 

Goodman will pay $75.00 for each installed GPC1348-60 model package coolers, GPH1348-60 

model package heat pumps, A/GPG1348-60 and A/GPG1260 package gas/electric units. This only 

applies to the above mentioned models manufactured between October 2005 (s/n 0510) and July 

2006 (s/n 0607) experiencing the noisy and/or vibrating condenser fan blade. 

This claim can be filed on ServiceBench (preferred) as Warranty Type “Epidemic” using SP009 as 

the "authorization" number, or by completing a warranty claim form (RF000007) for each unit 

requiring the 0150G00001S fan blade and must reference Project Code SP009 in section 6 (Project 

Code) on the warranty claim form. The claim will be paid upon review by the Warranty Department. 

All claims for this program must be submitted by August 1, 2007. 

The new condenser fan blade (Part # 0150G00001S) can be ordered through Service Parts by 

contacting your Customer Service Representative.




SUBJECT: Miswired Crankcase Heater and Defrost Thermostat 



® 



SP-008 

This letter is to inform you of the possibility of the defrost thermostat and the crankcase heater being 

miswired on the GPH1336H21A/AB model heat pumps. Both the defrost thermostat and crankcase 

heater wires are red, which was determined to be the root cause for the miswiring issue. On a limited 

number of the GPH1336H21A/AB units that were inspected in our warehouse, the defrost thermostat 

was wired to the contactor and the crankcase heater was wired to the defrost control. 

This issue was corrected on GPH1336H21A/AB units with a serial number of 0604606140 and later. 

GPH1336H21A/AB units with a serial number prior to 0604606140 marked with a blue dot next to 

the traveler label on the box have been inspected at the factory and reworked if necessary. All 

GPH1336H21A/AB model heat pumps with a serial number prior to 0604606140 that do not have the 

blue dot next to the traveler label should be inspected at the time of installation to verify proper wiring 

of the defrost thermostat and crankcase heater. 

To minimize the possibility of miswiring the crankcase heater wires and the defrost thermostat wires 

on current production GPH1336H21A/AB model heat pumps, the crankcase heater wires have been 

changed to orange with the defrost thermostat wires remaining red.


DATE: April 18, 2006 


SUBJECT: A/GPG Flue Hood Redesigned 

SP-007 

This letter is to inform you of the release of a redesigned flue hood for the A/GPG gas/electric 

package units. This new flue hood is in response to field reports of flue gasses being recirculated 

on a limited number of A/GPG13 gas/electric package units which have the combustion air louvers 

in the burner access panel. There have also been reports of flue gases being recirculated in 

A/GPG units that have had an LVBK kit installed. A/GPG gas/electric package units with the 

combustion air louvers still located in the partition panel are not affected. 

The redesign consists of adding a lower flue hood (Figure 1) to the existing flue hood to redirect 

the flue gasses away from the unit. 

Beginning in April 2006 (s/n 0604 and later), production of A/GPG13** units will have the 

redesigned flue hood with the added lower flue hood packaged in the flue hood assembly. 

The LVBK-01, -02, and -03 kits will also begin using the lower flue hood. The LVBK kit part 

numbers will change to LVBK-01A, -02A, and -03A with the addition of the lower flue hood. 

For field installed units experiencing recirculation, we have created a kit (Part # RCK01) that 

consists of installation instructions and a lower flue hood that is easily added to the existing flue 

hood. Simply remove the flue hood from the unit, slide the lower flue hood onto the bug screen 

(Figures 2 and 3) and reinstall the flue hood (Figure 4). 

When installing an LVBK-01, -02, -03 kit (without the lower flue hood), you will also need to install 

the RCK01 kit.

SP-007 

For distributor inventory of LVBK-01, -02, -03 kits, the RCK01 kit will need to be added to each 

LVBK-01, -02, -03 kit. The RCK01 kit will be provided at no cost to the distributor for each LVBK- 

01, -02, -03 kit in inventory. 

The RCK01 kit can be ordered from Service Parts by contacting your customer service order 

representative.

and GPH13**H21A revision model cooler and heat pump package units with an HKR electric heater 

kit installed. This kit is not for the “AB” revision models of 2 through 4 ton GPC coolers (GPC1324- 

48H21AB) or GPH heat pumps (GPH1324-48H21AB), these models already have a factory installed 

isolation relay (Blower Interlock Relay). This kit is also not for use on the “A” or “AA” revision models 

of 5 ton GPC model coolers (GPC1360H21A/AA) or GPH model heat pumps (GPH1360H21A/AA), as 

these models use a GE ® X13 motor and do not require the isolation relay. 

This isolation relay kit eliminates the need to match the unit and heater kit power supply phasing on 

installation. This isolation relay kit also prevents chattering contactors when the power supply breaker 

to the contactor is off and the power supply breaker to the HKR heater kit is on. This is an abnormal 

condition and does not occur when both breakers are in the closed position. 

The IRK001 Isolation Relay Kit consists of an isolation relay with a 240 volt coil, a new 9 pin heater 

kit harness, 2 jumper wires, a wiring diagram for heat pumps (GPH) and a wiring diagram for coolers 

(GPC), 2 self tapping screws, and installation instructions (IO-658). 

The Isolation Relay Kit (Part # IRK001) can be ordered from Service Parts by contacting your 

customer service order representative. 

Second is a wiring issue with the 9 pin heater kit wiring harness used on all GPH1360H21A revision 

model heat pumps and a limited number of GPH1360H21AA revision model heat pumps. 

All GPH1360H21A revision model heat pumps and only GPH1360H21AA model heat pumps with a 

serial number of 0603796351 and prior have a red wire from pin 2 of the heater kit 9 pin wiring 

harness to L2 at the contactor. This wire should be removed and discarded from the 9 pin 

connector and L2 at the contactor prior to applying power to these units. This wire is not 

needed on the 5 ton GPH/C model units which use the GE ® X13 blower motor. If the power supply to 

the contactor and the power supply to the HKR heater kit are not in phase and the red wire is left 

connected, a direct short will occur. 

The GPH1360H21AA model heat pumps with a serial number later than 0603796351 will have a new 

heater kit wiring harness without the red wire in pin 2 of the 9 pin heater kit wiring harness.




SUBJECT: FasTest Access Fittings and Service Tools 

SP-005 

Rev. 1 

This letter is to inform you of the use and operation of the FasTest Access System that is used on 

all Goodman ® and Amana ® brand package gas/electric units (GPG/APG), package heat pumps 

and coolers (GPH/GPC). 

There has been some confusion about whether the FasTest fittings are required to service these 

package units. The answer is no, the FasTest fitting is not required to service these units. 

One benefit the Fastest fitting provides is in replacing the FasTest Core shown in figure 1 below 

without having to recover the refrigerant and recharging. If the FasTest Core or “O” Ring is leaking 

and you do not have the FasTest fitting you would simply recover the refrigerant, replace the core, 

then evacuate and recharge just like any other unit with a leaking Schrader Valve. 

Another Benefit to the FasTest Access System is it’s a full flow valve as opposed to the restricted 

flow conventional style Schrader valves that have been previously used. The FasTest System 

allows for faster refrigerant recovery times and also allows for faster system evacuation and 

charging times. 

The FasTest Access System consists of a seat that is either soldered to the refrigerant line or 

fastened with a locking nut to an access fitting box. The access fitting (core) is then screwed into 

the seat. It is very important to note that before inserting the core into the seat, the core and seat 

must be free of debris and the “O” Ring must have a thin coating of refrigerant oil applied to it. The 

oil is to prevent the “O” Ring from being deformed when the core is tightened completely into the 

seat portion of the fitting. The core should be torqued to 8 ft. lb.

SP-005 Rev. 1 

As with any access fitting, it is very important to ensure that the cap and the refrigerant charging 

hose are free of debris before installing them on the core. This is even more important with the full 

flow design of the FasTest fittings than it was with the previous Schrader style valves. With the full 

flow design, it is easier for debris to enter the core and either lodge between the seal and the “O” 

Ring preventing the valve from seating, or allowing the debris to enter the refrigerant system. 

We also would like to inform you of the release of the FasTest Core Removal Tool (Part # 

SCFT20A) and the HiFlow SnapMate Tool (Part # SCTA07H). 

The Core Removal Tool (Figure 3) will allow you to replace the FasTest Access Fitting (Part # 

B1373315) without having to recover the refrigerant charge. First, attach the Core Removal Tool to 

the seat, then unscrew the core and pull to the rear of the tool. Next, shut off the valve on the Core 

Removal Tool and then remove core. To reinstall or replace the core with a new one, simply 

reverse the removal process described above. 

The HiFlow SnapMate Tool (Figure 4) snaps on and off for quick access under pressure with 

minimal refrigerant loss due to an internal automatic valve. Simply attach the manifold hose to the 

SnapMate and snap the SnapMate on the access fitting on the unit. Note: The HiFlow SnapMate 

tool will also work on standard Schrader style access fittings.

SUBJECT: GPC, GPH Power Supply Phasing 

SP-004 

This service bulletin is to inform you of the necessity to properly polarize the incoming power 

supply wiring when installing electric heat in GPC1324-48H21A model package coolers and 

GPH1324-48H21A model package heat pumps. The 5 ton models use a GE ® X13 motor and are 

not affected. Only the A revision GPC1324-48H21A and GPH1324-48H21A models are affected. 

The AB revision GPC1324-48H21AB model package coolers and GPH1324-48H21AB model 

package heat pumps will have an isolation relay added and will not be affected. 

The issue only occurs if an HKR model electric heater kit is installed and the compressor power 

supply and the heater kit power supply are not in phase. If the power supplies are out of phase, an 

electrical short will occur causing the circuit breaker to trip. 

The installation instruction supplement on pages 2 and 3 of this bulletin is packaged with each unit 

described above. One copy is in the installation literature package, and the other is placed in the 

heater kit compartment behind the heater kit cover. There is also a caution label placed in the 

heater kit compartment, and another placed over the contactor. One side of the instructions is for 

HKR heater kits with circuit breakers in the heater kit, and the other side is for HKR heater kits 

without circuit breakers in the heater kit. 

You must follow the installation instructions packaged with the unit or attached to this bulletin to 

ensure proper phasing of the incoming electrical power supply. 

The chart below lists the unit models that are affected.

SP-002 Rev 1 

Supersedes SP-002 

DATE: January 6, 2006 


SUBJECT: Condensate in APG and GPG Package Unit Heat Exchangers 

In some high humidity applications with long cooling run times it is possible for condensate to 

accumulate in the heat exchanger during the cooling season. Small amounts of condensate will 

quickly evaporate during the first heating cycle. However, larger accumulations of condensate may 

result in the unit failing to ignite or tripping of the roll-out switch. 

If you find one or more of the heat exchanger tubes are not drawing the flame into the tube 

correctly on the first heating attempt of the season it may be the result of condensate partially 

blocking the tube. If this is the case it will be necessary to remove the condensate using a shopvac 

or similar device. Once the tubes have been cleared, operate the unit for at least 10 minutes to 

thoroughly dry the tubes. The unit should operate normally the remainder of the heating season. 

To prevent condensate from accumulating in the heat exchanger on APG and GPG model 

package gas units, we have developed a kit for each chassis size to resolve the problem. 

To prevent outdoor air from being drawn through the heat exchanger when the condenser fan is in 

operation, the current combustion air louvers in the partition panel will be blocked off. To provide 

combustion air during the heating mode, a new burner access door with slots will replace the 

existing burner access door. Then the rain hood will be installed over the slots. 

These kits are intended for use only on units experiencing the issue of condensate in the heat 

exchanger. Units with a date code of December 2005 (s/n - 0512) and later have been redesigned 

to prevent water from condensing in the heat exchanger. Only units with a date code of November 

2005 (s/n - 0511) and prior are affected. 

The following chart lists the different APG and GPG unit models and which kit will be needed for 

each model. Each kit consists of a new burner access door with slots, a rain hood, 2 block-off 

panels, installation instructions, and the necessary hardware to install the kit.

SUBJECT: Revised Venting Table for GKS90904CX** Model Furnace 



® 



SF-018 

Goodman has recently tested and approved the use of 2” vent pipe on GKS90904CX** model 

furnace. As a result of lab testing, it was found that in order to use 2” in place of 3” vent pipe on 

this model furnace, a pressure switch change is required. The new part # for pressure switch is 

0130F00002P (trip point pressure of -0.95” w.c.). 

With this change there has been a minor model revision level change to the furnace model from 

GKS90904CXAB, AC & AD which were for use with 3” flue pipe only to GKS90904CXAE for use 

with 2” vent pipe. 

Note: All previous GKS90904CXAB, AC and AD model furnaces can also utilize the revised 

vent tables shown below but will require a change to the new pressure switch 0130F00002P. 

Please also note that this is not a warranty replacement issue, switches replaced to allow 

the use of 2” vent pipe per the tables below will not be covered under warranty. 

Below are the revised vent tables listing the use of 2” vent pipe for Non-Direct and Direct Vent pipe 

installations.

SF-017 

Goodman has received reports of the LPM-05 LP Gas Conversion Kits containing only one of the 

LP gas valve springs instead of two that are needed for the conversion of the White-Rodgers 36G 

two-stage gas valve from natural to LP gas. There should be a packet (part # 0163F00000P) in 

the kit that will contain instructions for conversion to LP, an LP sticker and Two (2) springs to be 

placed in the gas valve. 

The date code of the affected LPM-05 LP Conversion Kits ranges from 0704****** through 

0706******. Please inspect your inventory of these kits to determine if there is only one (1) spring 

in the White-Rodgers packet part # 0163F00000P, or a single packet with White-Rodgers part 

number 92-1008 that contains one (1) spring. 

If after inspecting your inventory of LPM-05 LP Gas Conversion kits and you need the additional 

spring, you will need to contact your customer service representative to get replacement spring kit 

(part # 0163F00000P) sent to you at no charge.




SUBJECT: GME8 Furnace Wiring Diagram Correction 



® 



SF-016 

We have discovered that the wiring diagram placed in the GME8 model furnaces is 

incorrect in regards to wiring for indoor blower cooling and heating speeds. However we 

have verified that the furnaces were wired correctly from the factory per the control 

assembly drawing being used in manufacturing. 

Although the furnaces are wired correctly, the wiring diagram attached to the furnace could 

lead to improper cooling or heat speed airflow when changing a blower motor or the main 

control board. 

The incorrect wiring shown on the diagram is: 

High cool (Orange wire) to the Low Heat Relay # 3 terminal. 

Low Heat (Blue wire) going to the High Heat Relay # 3 terminal. 

High Heat (Black wire) going to the Cool Relay #3 terminal. 

The correct wiring of the relays should be: 

High Cool (Black wire) to the Cool Relay #3 terminal. 

Low Heat (Orange wire) going to the Low Heat Relay #3 terminal. 

High Heat (Blue wire) going to the High Heat Relay #3 terminal. 

A new wiring diagram Part # 0140F00472 is available upon request at no charge from 

service parts by contacting your customer service representative. For your reference, a 

copy of the new corrected wiring diagram is attached to this bulletin.

SUBJECT: 90% Jakel Two–Stage Induced Draft Motor Overload Tripping 



® 



SF-015 

We have received reports from the field of Jakel Induced Draft Motor (Part # 20245903) used on 

the 90% variable speed furnaces shutting down on internal overload. This issue is occurring during 

the high-speed operation of the induced draft motor when the furnace is having long run cycles due 

to the extremely low outdoor ambient temperature or if there is use of a setback thermostat which 

may cause the furnace to have a long second stage run time when coming out of the setback 

mode and is aggravated by power supplies in excess of 120 volts. 

The models affected are ACV9, GCV9, AMV9 and GMV95 manufactured with date code of August 

2006 (serial date code 0608) through January 2007 (serial date code 0701). 

Symptoms for this issue include: 

1. Pressure switch fault code 3 (low fire pressure switch stuck open). 

2. Dwelling not coming up to temperature after night setback or in very cold outside ambient 

temperature. 

3. Induced Draft Motor shutting down during operation, verified with voltage still provided by 

the circuit board to the motor. 

Current Jakel Induced Draft Motors (Part # 20245903S) in Service Parts Inventory have had a 

change made to the internal motor windings to prevent the overload from tripping due to excessive 

heat and can be identified by blue on the outside of box and along with date code of 0807M and 

later. Units produced after 02/05/2007 starting with serial number 0702****** were built with the 

new ID Blower. The Induced Draft Motor (Part # 20245903S) can be ordered through Service Parts 

by contacting your customer service representative. 

Goodman will pay $85.00 labor for each unit that requires replacement of the Jakel Induced Draft 

Motor (Part # 20245903). Inducer motors should be claimed under the warranty. A warranty claim 

form (RF000007) must be completed for each unit requiring the repair and must reference Project 

Code 8590 in section 6 (Project Code) on the warranty claim form. This claim can be filed on 

Service Bench (preferred) as Warranty Type “Epidemic” using 8590 as the “authorization” number. 

The claim will be paid upon review by the Warranty Department.




SUBJECT: Supply Air Infiltration on 80% Dedicated Down Flow Model Furnaces 



® 

SF-014 

Goodman has received reports on ADH/GDH & ADS/GDS 80% dedicated down flow model 

furnaces locking out due to supply air infiltrating into the burner compartment causing loss of flame 

sense after the main blower is energized. This issue is due to an air gap that has occurred on 

some furnaces at the bottom of the cabinet, allowing supply air to leak into the burner compartment 

and disrupting the flame causing loss of flame sense. 

Goodman Mfg began installing a gasket in this area on all down flow models as of February 2007 

(i.e., serial numbers 0702******). 

The point where the blower section and burner section of the furnace connect (refer to following 

two images) is the area of focus. The bottom of the furnace where the burner assembly meets the 

cabinet may have an air gap at the flange which can allow air to be forced around the burner, 

causing loss of flame sense and after repeated retries the furnace eventually goes into lockout. 

The field repair for this issue will be to use a high temp RTV silicone sealant to seal the gap 

between the burner and blower sections as shown above. When installing the RTV Silicone 

Sealant, make sure to fill the gap by running a bead along the entire seam to prevent any internal 

air leakage from the main blower compartment into the burner compartment.

SUBJECT: New Jakel Round Nose Induced Draft Blower Assemblies for 80% Single 

Stage Gas Furnaces (Not Backward Compatible) 



® 

SF-013 

Beginning the later part of this month, distributors will need to maintain an inventory of both the 

existing square nose Induced Draft Blower Assemblies and a new round nose Induced Draft 

Blower. Beginning November 2006 (serial date code 0611), the Induced Draft Blower assembly on 

all 80% single stage gas furnaces will have a new look. The Induced Draft Blower that you are 

familiar with has a rectangular outlet and is furnished with a two-piece transition (Chimney 

Assembly) for connection to the 4-inch flue. This new Induced Draft Blower from Jakel (Part # 

0131F00006S) features a single piece drawn housing incorporating the transition right into the 

housing. The new assembly has the same 4-point mounting, the same termination outside the 

cabinet and can still be rotated for horizontal left and right installations. Also the motor and blower 

wheel are exactly the same as in the square nosed induced draft blowers. 

Provided below is breakdown of the 80% single stage gas furnaces that use the new round nose 

Induced Draft Blower assembly, along with models that use the square nose Induced Draft Blower 

assemblies and require the two-piece transition (chimney assembly). The minor revision letter (AB 

and BB) in the model number is being used to track this change from the square to round nose 

Induced Draft Blower assembly.

Induced Draft Blower changed the internal airflow patterns enough in some cases to require a new 

pressure switch. 






SUBJECT: New Ignition Control Board 0130F00005S 



® 



SF-012 

During this past heating season we had some reports of slight delays in furnace ignition operation. 

The igniter was not staying energized long enough before the gas valve was fully opened causing a 

no light situation during the first ignition sequence of the furnace. On subsequent ignition tries the 

furnace, in most cases, would light and continue to operate until next ignition cycle. 

As a product improvement we have made a change to the Ignition Activation Period (IAP) of the 

ignition control on all GMS8, GCS8, GDS8, GMS9, GCS9, GMS95, GCS95, DMS8, DDS8, DHS8, 

DMS9, and DCS9 model furnaces from 1 to 2 seconds. This allows for a slightly longer time for the 

igniter to stay energized after the gas valve is energized. The Ignition Activation Period is defined 

as the amount of time the igniter remains energized after the gas valve has been energized. All 

other wiring, connections, timings, etc. are equivalent to the B1809926 ignition control. 

With this change, which took effect in production December 15, 2005, the part number of the control 

board changed from B1809926 to 0130F00005. All units produced after this date, have the new 

control (Part # 0130F00005) with the 2 second Ignition Activation Period (IAP). These ignition 

controls are used on Goodman ® single-stage 80%, 90% and 95% model furnaces (GMS8, GCS8, 

GDS8, GMS9, GCS9, GMS95, GCS95) along with the Amana ® Distinctions single-stage 80% and 

90% model furnaces (DMS8, DDS8, DHS8, DMS9, DCS9). 

If a unit experiences a “no light” situation, before arbitrarily making a control board change, the 

following checks should be performed to rule them out as a possible cause and only then should 

the ignition control be replaced: 

1. Poor electrical ground to the equipment: All internal equipment ground wires should be 

checked for tight connections. Also, check for voltage between the “LINE N” terminal and 

the “C” Common 24 volt terminal on the ignition control board. If you measure 2 volts or less 

you have a good ground, more than 2 volts indicates a bad ground at the electrical panel or 

ground rod. The gas furnace must be on a dedicated electrical circuit going directly to a 

dedicated single-pole breaker in the breaker panel. The ground wire from the furnace should 

terminate to a ground rod. 

2. Sticking Gas Valve: To check for this condition, apply 24 volts “OFF/ON” several times to 

the gas valve directly. Replace the original low voltage wires to the gas valve and then start 

the furnace. Adjust the thermostat to call for heat and verify proper ignition. 

The new ignition control (Part # 0130F00005S) can be ordered from Service Parts by contacting 

your customer service order representative.

SUBJECT: Induced Draft Motor Rubber Coupling Change for B1859001S Kit 

On January 16, 2004, we changed to a Jakel induced draft motor service kit, gray in color, (Part # 

B1859001S) used on Goodman GUN and GUS gas furnaces. We have received reports this 

heating season of difficulty installing the rubber coupling supplied with this kit. 

We are releasing a new rubber coupling (Part # M-1484) which has a larger inside diameter 

opening. This can be ordered to replace any existing rubber couplings that fit too tight. 

Check your inventory and call your customer service representative for the correct coupling. 

Discard the old rubber coupling and place the new coupling in your existing kits when you receive 

them. 

A new label (shown below) will be placed on the outside of future kits to identify that the new 

coupling has been included. The new kits shipped will contain a date code of (0406M and later) for 

proper identification. This is the only change made to this service kit.

SUBJECT: B4833000S Kit Shipped With Incorrect Induced Draft Blower 

We have received reports that the single stage induced draft blower kit, Part # B4833000S, was 

shipped with an incorrect two-stage induced draft blower, Part # B4833001S, in the box. 

The two-stage induced draft blower is easy to identify by looking at the part # (B4833001S) on the 

blower label. The blower can be identified by the wiring harness, which has a black, red and white 

wire. It has a three-spade Amp connector instead of two individual wires from the motor like on the 

single stage blower. 

If you have any of these single stage induced draft blowers incorrectly boxed with the two-stage 

induced draft blowers you have two options: 

(1) Re-label the box with Part # B4833001S, keep the motor and adjust your inventory 

accordingly. 

(2) Contact your customer service representative for a return authorization to return these 

induced draft blower motors. 






SUBJECT: 0131M00002S Service Kit with Incorrect Induced Draft Motor Wheel 

We have received reports that some single stage Jakel induced draft blowers Part # 0131M00002S 

have the wrong rotation blower wheel installed. 

The date code (45-05X) located on the induced draft blower label is the date code that has been 

reported with the incorrect rotation blower wheel. We have a preliminary serial number range of 

88523 to 90092 that you will need to check for the incorrect blower wheel. As we continue to look 

into this issue with our supplier Jakel, the serial number range may extend before or after the 

numbers we have listed. 

To inspect: Remove the induced draft blower from the box and check the direction of the blower 

wheel vanes. The direction of rotation is counter-clockwise as viewed from the shaft end of the 

motor. (Refer to the figure below for correct blower wheel vane direction and rotation of blower 

wheel). The incorrect vanes of the wheel are facing a clockwise direction to the right. 

If you have any of these induced draft blowers with the incorrect wheel it will be necessary for you 

to contact your customer service representative for a return authorization for return of these 

induced draft blowers. The blower wheel cannot be field replaced.

SUBJECT: 0230K00001 Mini Igniter Service Kit 

Service Bulletin SF-001 issued in September 2005 released a new Mini Igniter Kit that could be 

used to replace the B1401015S and B1401018S silicon carbide igniters on most Goodman 80% 

and 90% furnaces. Goodman has recently received a few reports of furnaces not lighting or 

inconsistent ignition. We have discovered, due to variations in burner design and manifold 

assemblies, the igniter can be positioned further from the burner than desired on some units. 

To improve ignition reliability we have released a new igniter bracket (part # 0121K00006). This 

moves the igniter .22” closer to the burner. To help identify the new bracket in igniter kits we have 

changed the Mini Igniter Kit to a new Part number 0230K00001. 

Goodman will be providing the new bracket in all igniter kits produced after February 1, 2006 and 

with all Mini Igniter kits shipped after February 6, 2006. If you need the new bracket for igniter kits 

in your inventory contact Technical Services at 888-593-9988 or your Order Services 

representative to have igniters shipped to you. 

NOTE: The mini igniter conversion kit is NOT approved for GSU model furnaces at this time. 






SUBJECT: Service Igniter Kit Part # 10735003A with Incorrect Igniter 

Some recent shipments of service igniter’s Part # 10735003A contain the wrong igniter in the box. 

The igniter that has been incorrectly placed in the box is Part # B1401018S and has the connector 

on the end of it as shown in Figure 1 below. This style igniter is used on all Goodman brand 

furnaces that use the silicon carbide igniter. 

The igniter in Figure 2 (Part # 10735003A) is the correct igniter that should have been shipped in 

the box instead of igniter Part # B1401018S. These two igniters look similar except for the plastic 

connectors on the end of each igniter. 

If you ordered igniter Part # 10735003A and were shipped igniter Part B1401018S as shown in 

Figure 1 below, you can either keep these igniters for use on Goodman brand furnaces that use 

this style of igniter or return the parts for credit. If you choose to keep these parts, please change 

the part number on the igniter box to B1401018S.

SUBJECT: Drain Clamp Change for the New Drain Elbow 



® 



SF-006 

The new drain elbow used on current 90% gas furnaces (released August 2005, serial date code 

0508 and later) will now use a new 3/4” clamp that connects to the vertical drain leg (Figure 1). The 

new drain elbow design has a slightly larger diameter in the vertical drain leg causing a tight fit. 

We will now use a new 3/4” clamp (Part # M0119206) in the Standpipe Bag Assemblies (Part # 

10195517 and Part # 10195518) effective November 14, 2005.

SUBJECT: Schedule 40 PVC Cellular Core (Foam Core) Plastic Pipe 



® 



SF-005 

We are approving the use of “Schedule 40 PVC Cellular Core (Foam Core) Plastic Pipe” for use as 

flue/vent pipe material on all 90% plus model gas furnaces installed only in the United States. The “PVC 

Cellular Core (Foam Core) Plastic Pipe” is manufactured under American Society for Testing and Methods 

standard ASTM F891. 

Schedule 40 PVC Cellular Core (Foam Core) Plastic Pipe is not approved for use in Canada. CSA does not 

have a Reference Standard for Cellular Core PVC Plastic Pipe. 

Schedule 40 PVC Cellular Core (Foam Core) Plastic Pipe is a coextruded poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) plastic 

pipe with a cellular core (contains numerous cells intentionally introduced, interconnecting or not, distributed 

throughout the pipe) and concentric inner and outer solid layers. PVC primer meeting ASTM F656 and PVC 

solvent cement meeting ASTM D2564 specifications must be used. Fittings must be DWV type fittings meeting 

ASTM D2665 and ASTM D3311. Carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cutting, cleaning and 

solvent cementing of PVC. 

To ensure proper furnace operation, this Schedule 40 PVC Cellular Core (Foam Core) Plastic Pipe must be 

installed in accordance with the installation instructions, all local building codes and ordinances. In their 

absence, follow the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1), and or CAN/CGA 

B149 Installation Codes, local plumbing or wastewater codes, and other appliance codes.




SUBJECT: Incorrectly Wired 9-Pin Harness in B1809913S Ignition Control Service Kit 



SF-004 

There have been reports of the 9-pin wiring harness used in the B1809913S ignition control service 

kit being wired incorrectly. The picture below provides an example of a harness that is incorrectly 

wired. 

The white wire located at pin location # 7 is incorrect and should have been located at pin # 1 

location of the connector. With the white wire in the # 7 pin location, this will cause the 3A fuse to 

blow on the control board. The lower middle white wire of the connector located at pin position # 4 

is correct. 

Please check your inventory of B1809913S ignition control service kits as soon as possible for 

these incorrectly wired harnesses. If you have any of the incorrectly wired harnesses, the first 

option is to use a pin extractor to relocate the white wire from pin # 7 location to the correct #1 pin 

location. Obtaining a pin extractor locally would be the fastest method of resolving this issue. If you 

do not have a pin extraction/insertion tool, you will need to order a new harness from service parts 

by contacting your customer order representative. Please DO NOT return any of the parts in this 

kit.

SUBJECT: Amana ® and Amana ® Distinctions TM 80% Furnace Door Switch Kit 



® 



SF-003 

In June 2004 we introduced the new Amana ® brand 80% gas furnaces, models AMS8, DMS8 and DHS8 with a 

new deep drawn door panel. Because of this deep drawn door, the door interlock switch did not make proper 

contact with the blower access door and prevented the furnace from operating correctly. Units affected are 

AMS8, DMS8 and DHS8 model furnaces with serial numbers of 0407673199 and prior. 

On July 20, 2004 (serial date code 0407673200 and later) a rubber plug (Part # M0326804S) inserted over the 

door switch (See Figure 1) was added in production to allow the door switch to make proper contact with the 

blower access door. Also at that time all units in our inventory were reworked by adding the rubber plug and 

these units were identified by the green rework dot on the carton adjacent to the traveler label. Additionally, all 

distributor locations where these furnaces were shipped were provided with parts and instructions for reworking 

their inventories. Effective August 2004 the door interlock switch was moved to the blower deck and standardized 

with the 90% furnaces eliminating the need for this switch extension.

Due to varying internal depths in the rubber plugs and high ambient temperatures in some applications, there 

have been a few reports of the door switch not making proper contact. In those situations, we are providing the 

following alternate repair kit shown in Figure 2. The new repair kit (Part # 0270K00006P) consists of three 

magnets applied to the inside blower door and locating instructions allowing proper operation of the door 

interlock switch.




SUBJECT: New Drain Elbow - 90% Model Furnaces 



® 



SF-002 

We have designed a new drain elbow to address condensate disposal issues from the vent pipe 

which were, under certain conditions, causing nuisance pressure switch trips on 90% Amana® 

brand ACS9, ACV9, AMS9, AMV9, DCS9, DMS9 and Goodman® brand GCS9, GCV9, GMS9, 

GMV9 model gas furnaces when installed in a horizontal left position. The new drain elbow Part # 

20171802 will be used in production effective August 5, 2005 (serial number 0508xxxxxx). 

We previously used the RF000142 drain coupling kit when installing 90% model gas furnaces in 

the horizontal left position to address the issue as stated above, and this new drain elbow will take 

the place of the RF000142 drain kit. This new elbow allows any condensate in the vent pipe to 

drain out the small side port hole when installing the furnace in a horizontal left position. The elbow 

is located between the induced draft motor and the flue vent pipe inside the furnace. 

The new drain elbow has a tapered plug (Part # B9139949) inserted into the side drain port. 

Updated Installation Instructions (IO-244E) Goodman® and (IO-254D) Amana® show how to 

connect the hoses when using the new elbow. The drain hose that previously went from the 

induced draft blower housing to the drain trap will now go from the new elbow to the drain trap. The 

blower wheel port will remain plugged. 

NOTE: Gas furnaces still in inventory that DO NOT have the new drain elbow as shown below, 

need to use either the RF000142 drain kit or the new drain elbow Part # 20171802 and the 

Installation Instructions listed above, only when the furnace is installed in the horizontal left 

position.

SUBJECT: Loss of Charge Switch for R-410A Split System Heat Pumps 



® 



SR-024 

Goodman has received field reports of the loss of charge switch opening at low ambient 

temperatures on the Goodman ® and Amana ® brand R-410A split heat pumps (SSZ & ASZ 

respectively). The switch is designed to open at 50 PSI and close at 95 PSI. At temperatures below 

2º F, the switch will open and shut down the heat pump until the ambient temperature rises to 

approximately 30º F. On units experiencing this nuisance loss of charge switch tripping, it will be 

necessary to install Loss of Charge Service Kit Part # 0130R00000S that contains a new loss of 

charge switch (Part # 0130R00000) that is designed to open at 25 PSI and close at 50 PSI. 

The Loss of Charge Service Kit Part # 0130R00000S consists of a refrigeration tee, wire nuts and 

a new loss of charge switch (Part # 0130R00000). The refrigeration tee is equipped with a valve 

core and is screwed on the liquid line service valve. The loss of charge switch kit may be obtained 

from the Service Parts Department by contacting your customer service representative. 

WARNING 

HIGH VOLTAGE! 





Installation Procedure for Refrigeration Tee and the Loss of Charge Switch: 

1. After de-energizing the outdoor heat pump and indoor air handler, remove electrical service 

panel cover of the condenser and remove the screws from the electrical panel in order to 

swing it open. Next, remove the bottom service valve access panel. Note: Doing this will 

provide adequate access to the loss of charge switch in the liquid line. 

2. Attach the new loss of charge switch to the refrigeration tee and screw the tee on the liquid 

line service valve. (Note: Refer to Installation instructions with the kit.) After the loss of 

charge switch (Part# 0130R00000) is installed, check the area for refrigerant leaks using an 

electronic leak detector or a liquid leak detector product. 

3. Cut the two wire leads connected to the existing loss of charge switch and then strip 

approximately ½” of insulation from the end of the wires feeding back to the control panel. 

Wire nut the two wire leads from new loss of charge switch previously installed (Note: it 

may be necessary to cut additional wire length from existing loss of charge switch leads) to 

the wire leads that were previously cut and stripped at the new loss of charge switch. 

Page 1 of 2

4. Replace the panels previously removed in Step 1 and then restore power to both the 

remote condenser and indoor air handler. 

5. Verify that the system is functioning in all modes of operation (cooling & heating).

SUBJECT: Harmonic Compressor Noise in Split Heat Pumps 



® 



SR-021 

This service bulletin is being released to address field reports of harmonic compressor noise that 

has been heard at the indoor coil in the heat mode of operation on some GSH, ASH, ASZ and SSZ 

model heat pump units. Our investigation and testing has been determined that if this issue does 

occur, a discharge muffler (Part # B1219301) should be installed between the compressor and the 

reversing valve to eliminate this noise. The muffler should be installed as close to the compressor 

as possible. The discharge muffler (Part # B1219301) can be ordered through Service Parts by 

contacting your customer service representative. 

NOTE: Before making the determination that the discharge muffler needs to be installed, the 

system should be thoroughly checked for proper operation (i.e. system pressures, airflow etc.) 

along with verification that neither the suction nor discharge lines are touching studs or framing in 

the structure or are strapped to these without proper isolation hardware. 

Heat Pump models listed below will be manufactured with discharge muffler (Part # B1219301) 

starting with units produced after February 23, 2007. Units produced prior to this date may require 

the addition of a muffler to resolve any noise issue. Larger tonnage Heat Pump models will have 

discharge muffler added in production after testing is completed and we will revise this bulletin as 

needed to include these models when the testing is completed.

SUBJECT: Revisions to Long Line Set Guidelines TP-106 and TP-107 



® 



SR-019 

Supersedes CAG-448, 

CAG-472 and S-177 

Goodman ® has revised the long line set guidelines for R-22 and R410A. TP-106A guidelines for R- 

22 long line sets replace Service Bulletins CAG-448 and S-177. TP-107A guidelines for R410A 

long line sets replaces Service Bulletin CAG-472. The following changes were made to the 

additional accessories required section for the long line sets after further testing by Engineering. 

Additional Accessories: 

1. Crankcase Heater: A long line set application can critically increase the charge level needed 

for a system. As a result, the system is very prone to refrigerant migration during its off-cycle 

and a crankcase heater will help minimize this risk. A crankcase heater is required for any long 

line application (50 watt minimum). 

2. TXV Requirement: All line set applications over 50 feet will require a TXV. 

3. Hard Start Assist: Increased charge level in long line applications can require extra work from 

the compressor at start-up. A hard start assist device may be required to overcome this issue. 

4. Liquid Line Solenoid: A long line set application can critically increase the charge level 

needed for a system. As a result, the system is very prone to refrigerant migration during its offcycle 

and a liquid line solenoid will help minimize this. A liquid line solenoid is recommended for 

any long line application on straight cooling units. 

5. The requirement for an accumulator has been removed after Engineering determined it is no 

longer required in the long line set applications. 

Copies of the guidelines are attached with this bulletin. The long line set guidelines can be located 

on the company websites at www.goodmanmfg.com and www.amana-hac.com

LONG LINE SET APPLICATION R22 

Only allow qualified, experienced technicians to install or service this unit. 

Units must be installed in accordance with Regulations of the National 

Fire Protection Association and applicable local codes. Where local 

regulations are at a variance with instructions, installer should adhere to 

local codes 

Before connecting tubing, read the outdoor unit installation manual. Pay 

particular attention to all safety precautions. 

ATTENTION INSTALLING PERSONNEL 

As a professional installer you have an obligation to know the product better than the customer. This includes all safety 

precautions and related items. 

Prior to actual installation, thoroughly familiarize yourself with these guidelines. Pay special attention to all safety 

warnings posted on the equiment. Often during installation or repair it is possible to place yourself in a position which is 

more hazardous than when the unit is in operation. 

Remember, it is your responsibility to install the product safely and to know it well enough to be able to instruct a 

customer in its safe use. 

Safety is a matter of common sense...a matter of thinking before acting. Most dealers have a list of specific good safety 

practices...follow them. 

The precautions listed in this Installation Manual are intended as supplemental to existing practices. However, if there is 

a direct conflict between existing practices and the content of this manual, the precautions listed here take precedence. 

This long line set application guideline applies to all ARI listed R22 air conditioner and heat pump 

split system matches of nominal capacity 18,000 to 60,000 Btuh. This guideline will cover 

installation requirements and additional accessories needed for split system installations where 

the line set exceeds 50 feet in actual length. 


1. Crankcase Heater- a long line set application can critically increase the charge level 

needed for a system. As a result, the system is very prone to refrigerant migration during its 

off-cycle and a crankcase heater will help minimize this risk. A crankcase heater is 

recommended for any long line application (50 watt minimum). 


3. Hard Start Assist- increased charge level in long line applications can require extra work 

from the compressor at start-up. A hard start assist device may be required to overcome 

this.

4. Liquid Line Solenoid - a long line set application can critically increase the charge level 


off-cycle and a liquid line solenoid will help minimize this. A liquid line solenoid is 

recommended for any long line application on straight cooling units. 

Tube Sizing: 

1. In long line applications, the “equivalent line length” is the sum of the straight length 

portions of the suction line plus losses (in equivalent length) from 45 and 90 degree bends. 

Select the proper suction tube size based on equivalent length of the suction line 

(see Tables 2 & 3 below) and recalculated system capacity. 

TABLE 1. 

Equivalent length = Length horizontal + Length vertical + Losses from bends (see Table 3) 

Example using ¾” elbow: 

150 feet of straight tubing + (four short radius elbows x 1.7) + (2 long radius elbows 

x 1.5) = 150 + 3.4 +3 = 156.4 equivalent feet. 

2. For any residential split system installed with a long line set, 3/8” liquid line size 

must be used. Limiting the liquid line size to 3/8” is critical since an increased refrigerant 

charge level from having a larger liquid line could possibly shorten a compressor’s lifespan. 

3. Single Stage Condensing Unit: The maximum length of tubing must not exceed 150 feet. 

• 50 feet is the maximum recommended vertical difference between the condenser and 

evaporator when the evaporator is above the condenser. Equivalent length is not to 

exceed 150 feet. 

• The vertical difference between the condenser and evaporator when the evaporator is 

below the condenser can approach 150 feet, as long as the equivalent length does not 


• The distance between the condenser and evaporator in a completely horizontal 

installation in which the indoor and outdoor unit do not differ more than 10 feet in vertical 

distance from each other can approach 150 feet, as long as the equivalent length does 

not exceed 150 feet. 

Most refrigerant tubing kits are supplied with 3/8”-thick insulation on the vapor line. For long line 

installations over 50 feet, especially if the line set passes through a high ambient temperature, 

½”-thick suction line insulation is recommended to reduce loss of capacity. The liquid line should 

be insulated if passing through an area of 120°F or greater. Do not attach the liquid line to any 

non-insulated portion of the suction line. 

NOTE: TXV requirement. All line set applications over 50 feet require a TXV. 

4. Two-Stage Condensing Unit: The maximum length of tubing must not exceed 75 feet 

where the indoor coil is located above the outdoor unit. 

NOTE: When the outdoor unit is located above the indoor coil, the maximum vertical rise 

must not exceed 25 feet. If the maximum vertical rise exceeds 25 feet, premature 

compressor failure will occur due to inadequate oil return. 

5. Vibration and Noise: In long line applications, refrigerant tubing is highly prone to transmit 

noise and vibration to the structure it is fastened to. Use adequate vibration-isolating 

hardware when mounting line set to adjacent structure.

TP-106A 

Table 2 below lists multiplier values to recalculate system-cooling capacity as a function of a 

system’s equivalent line length (as calculated from the suction line) and the selected suction tube 

size. Table 3 lists the equivalent length gained from adding bends to the suction line. Properly 

size the suction line to minimize capacity loss.

Installation Requirements 

1. In a completely horizontal installation with a long line set where the evaporator is at the 

same altitude as (or slightly below) the condenser, the line set should be sloped towards the 

evaporator. This helps reduce refrigerant migration to the condenser during a system’s offcycle. 

2. For a system installation where the evaporator is above the condenser, an inverted vapor 

line trap should be installed on the suction line just before the inlet to the evaporator (see Fig 

1). The top of the inverted loop must be slightly above the top of the evaporator coil and can 

be created simply by brazing two 90° long radius elbows together, if a bending tool is 

unavailable. Properly support and secure the inverted loop to the nearest point on the indoor 

unit or adjacent structure. 

Fig 1. Evaporator unit with inverted vapor loop 

3. An oil trap is required at the evaporator only if the condenser is above the evaporator. 

Preformed oil traps are available at most HVAC supply houses, or oil traps may be created 

by brazing tubing elbows together (see diagram below). Remember to add the equivalent 

Page 3 of 4

TP-106A 

length from oil traps to the equivalent length calculation of the suction line. For example, if 

you construct an oil trap using two 45° elbows, one short and one long 90° elbow in a ¾” 

diameter suction line, the additional equivalent length would be 0.7+ 0.7+1.7+1.5, which 

equals 4.6 feet (refer to Table 3). 

Fig 2. Oil Trap 

4. Low voltage wiring. Verify low voltage wiring size is adequate for the length used since it 

will be increased in a long line application. 

Initial System Charging 

R22 condensers are factory charged for 15 feet of line set. To calculate the amount of extra 

refrigerant (in ounces) needed for a line set over 15 feet, multiply the additional length of line set 

by 0.6 ounces. Note for the formula below, the linear feet of line set is the actual length of liquid 

line (or suction line, since both should be equal) used, not the equivalent length calculated for the 

suction line. 

Use subcooling as the primary method for final system charging of long line set system 

application. A minimum of 10º subcooling is required to ensure a good seal is present at the 

indoor TXV. 

Extra refrigerant needed = (Linear feet of line set – 15 ft) x X oz/ft. 

Where X = 0.6 for 3/8” liquid tubing, 0.4 for 5/16”, or 0.2 for ¼” 

Remember, 3/8” liquid tubing is required for all long line set applications. 

Heat pumps should be checked in both heating and cooling mode for proper charge level. This 

guideline is meant to provide installation instructions based on most common long line set 

applications. Installation variables may affect system operation. 

NO ADDITIONAL COMPRESSOR OIL IS NEEDED FOR LONG LINE SET APPLICATIONS 

ON RESIDENTIAL SPLIT SYSTEMS.

SUBJECT: VCC30C2C Condenser Fan Motor Issue 



® 



SR-018 

We have received some field reports of nuisance tripping of the internal overload on condenser fan 

motors (Part # B13400251) used on Amana® brand VCC30C2C condensing units. Engineering 

has determined that in some conditions the condenser fan blade (Part # 10625731) used on these 

models can cause the motor to run at higher than normal current draw, resulting in nuisance 

tripping of the condenser fan motor internal overload. 

If you encounter this issue on any VCC30C2C model, the condenser fan blade (Part # 10625731) 

can be replaced with service condenser fan blade (Part # B1086750S) to eliminate this condition. 

WARNING 

HIGH VOLTAGE! 





Installations Instructions for Replacing Condenser Fan Blade. 

1. Disconnect power to the condensing unit and remove screws that secure the fan grille to 

the top of the unit. 

2. Remove the condenser fan assembly from unit and lay on the top of unit. Note: There 

should be enough excess wire to do this but if not it may be necessary to remove the 

control panel cover and disconnect the condenser fan wires. 

3. Next loosen the set screw and remove the existing blade and replace with new service fan 

blade (Part # B1086750S) and then retighten the set screw making sure the blade is in the 

original position on the flat of the shaft. 

4. Reinstall the fan assembly back in the unit and rewire the condenser fan if wires were 

removed in Step 2 (Refer to wiring schematic for proper wiring). If wires were removed and 

reconnected, then reinstall the control panel cover. 

5. Turn on power on the unit. 

6. Set thermostat to call for cooling and check for proper unit operation.




SUBJECT: TX5N4 Expansion Valve Kit Label Issue 



® 



SR-017 

We have received some field reports that the TX5N4 R-410A Expansion Valve Kits contain 

expansion valves with labels incorrectly identifying the valve as an R-22 valve (Figure 1) instead 

of an R-410A valve. The part number listed on the label and valve body is correct, and only the 

refrigerant type noted on the label is incorrect. Please note that these valves are correct for use 

with R-410A refrigerant and this is not an operational issue but only a label marking issue. 


TX5N4 Expansion Valve Kits manufactured from October 20, 2005 thru June 9, 2006 will have the 

incorrect label, kits manufactured after June 20, 2006 have correctly marked labels identifying the 

valves as R-410A. Figure 2 above shows the correctly marked R-410A label. 

If you have any incorrectly marked TX5N4 Expansion Valves, new labels can be ordered by 

contacting Technical Services and we will have them shipped direct to you from our supplier.




SUBJECT: GSC14042 / 048 / 0601AA Discharge Tubes Cracking 

SR-016 Rev 1 

Supersedes SR-016 

We have received some reports from the field of the discharge tube cracking after initial startup on 

GSC140421AA, GSC140481AA and the GSC140601AA model condensing units. Provided below 

are new discharge tube part numbers for three specific models that can be ordered from Service 

Parts Department to replace any discharge tube that may have cracked on installed 

GSC140421AA, GSC140481AA and the GSC140601AA model condensing units: 

Model Part Number 

• GSC140421AA 0110R00389 

• GSC140481AA 0110R00390 

• GSC140601AA 0110R00391 

In situations where vibration is reported in connection with the above models, we have developed a 

vibration dampening kit (Part # 0270K00019) to prevent the discharge tubes from cracking. The 

vibration dampening kit was developed for units that have been installed or existing units in 

inventory to prevent having to replace the discharge line. The 0270K00019 kit is for use on 

GSC14042-601AA model units. The vibration dampening kit (Part # 0270K00019) can be ordered 

through Service Parts by contacting your customer service representative. 

GSC140421AA and GSC140481AA model units manufactured after August 10, 2006 (serial prefix 

0608) and GSC140601AA model units manufactured after August 21, 2006 (serial prefix 0609) will 

be produced with the new discharge tube and will not require a vibration dampening kit. 

For each GSC140421AA and GSC140481AA model unit manufactured prior to August 10, 2006 

(serial prefix 0608) and GSC140601AA model unit manufactured prior to August 21, 2006 (serial 

prefix 0609) in inventory, Goodman will pay $25.00 for each kit (Part # 0270K00019) installed. 

Goodman will pay $200.00 labor plus refrigerant recovery and refrigerant for each unit repaired 

with the revised discharge tube. Discharge tubes should be claimed under the warranty. A 

warranty claim form (RF000007) must be completed for each unit requiring the repair and must 

reference Project Code 8575 in section 6 (Project Code) on the warranty claim form. This claim can 

be filed on Service Bench (preferred) as Warranty Type “Epidemic” using 8575 as the 

“authorization” number. The claim will be paid upon review by the Warranty Department. 






SUBJECT: GSC130361AA/BA Nuisance Tripping of Overcurrent Protection Device 



® 



SR-015 

We have received field reports of GSC130361AA and GSC130361BA model condensing units 

experiencing nuisance tripping of the 20 Amp overcurrent protection device. In many cases we 

have found that the required HACR type breaker had not been used and once the HACR type 

breaker was installed the nuisance tripping was corrected. 

After reevaluating the electrical characteristics on these units it was determined that the maximum 

overcurrent device could be increased from a 20 Amp to a 25 Amp HACR type breaker or time 

delay fuse of the same size. Therefore Goodman is updating the specifications of these units to 

approve the use of 25 amp overcurrent protection devices. 

Literature and rating plates are being revised to show the 25 Amp maximum overcurrent protection 

device for the GSC130361AA and GSC130361BA units only. Note: Any units installed that are 

experiencing nuisance tripping of this breaker or fuse should first have the following items checked 

prior to making the change from 20 Amp to 25 Amp maximum overcurrent protection device. 

WARNING 

HIGH VOLTAGE! 





1. Breaker must be a HVAC type breaker or time delay fuse of the same size. 

2. Units matched with TXV equipped indoor coils must have the appropriate hard start kit 

installed. Refer to Service Bulletin SR-004, Rev.1 for approved hard start kits. 

3. Unit must have the proper charge verified by superheat or subcooling method as 

described in the installation instructions. 

After checking the above items and the unit continues to experience nuisance tripping of the 

overcurrent protection device, the 20 Amp breaker or fuse should be replaced with a 25 Amp 

HACR type breaker or time delay fuse of the same size.




SUBJECT: ARUF042-1B, ARPT042-1B and AR*F30301BA Air Handler Blower Noise 

SR-014 

We have received some reports concerning a high pitched blower noise on some ARUF042-1B, 

ARPT042-1B and AR*F30301BA air handlers. After investigating the issue, it has been determined 

that the blower wheel/motor combination used in the air handler models listed above, may create a 

harmonic noise in certain applications. 

If this issue is experienced with any ARUF042-1B, ARPT042-1B or AR*F30301BA air handler 

already installed in the field, we are recommending replacement of the blower motor and wheel 

with the following Blower Motor/Wheel Kit, Part # 0270K00013.

SR-013 

We have received some reports of excessive blower noise on ARUF049-1B, ARPT049-1B, 

ADPF30421BA and AR*F36421BA model air handlers. Our investigation of the problem has 

determined the issue to be due to the improper positioning of the motor mount belly band on the 

motor along with an incorrectly centered blower wheel that will cause a resonance frequency issue 

between the motor/wheel combination and mounting system. 

Air handlers experiencing this issue in the field should be inspected for improper motor mount belly 

band position along with checking to make sure the blower wheel is centered in the blower housing 

and if either is found to be incorrect, they should be adjusted to proper position as indicated in the 

following information. 

WARNING 

HIGH VOLTAGE! 





Figure 1 shows the measurement to properly position the motor mounting belly band on the motor. 

The belly band should be 2.375” from the lead end of the motor. If the belly band is not at the 

proper measurement, the following adjustment should be made to the motor mount belly band. 

1. Disconnect power to the air handler and remove screws from the front panels on the air 

handler and remove panels and set aside. 

2. Unhook motor electrical leads from fan board and then remove screws securing the blower 

assembly to the air handler slide blower assembly from unit and set on flat surface.

system air conditioners that are using the Comfort Alert Diagnostic Module. With the initial release 

of these units, the installation and operating manual IO-258A being shipped with the units did not 

provide the additional low voltage “R” wire needed for use with Comfort Alert. 

This has since been corrected with revised installation and operating manual IO-258B showing 

three low voltage wires on the single stage condensing unit and four wires on the two stage 

condensing units. 

NOTE: The wiring schematic provided on the control panel of the units does show the correct 

information and requires no corrections. 

The wiring diagrams below show the correct wiring for the single stage and two stage condensing 

units with the Comfort Alert Module. 

Figure 1 shows the single stage unit with three low voltage wires that are required for the Amana® 

condensing units. The Comfort Alert Module requires a constant 24 volt power source to the 

module to allow the Comfort Alert to monitor and store any fault codes related to the operation of 

the unit.

SUBJECT: Loose Condenser Fan Motor Mounting Nuts on Amana ® Brand 

Condensers 

® 



SR-011 

We have discovered that some condenser fan motor mounting nuts on certain Amana brand 

models were not tightened to proper torque setting. Affected models are ASC13, ASH13, ASX14 

and ASZ14 Amana brand Split System units with the Barbeque Style Condenser Fan Grille. This 

could result in the fan motor coming loose. 

All units with a date code prior to 0605 should be checked at the time of installation and the motor 

mounting nuts tightened to 20-27 in/lbs. The motor mounting nuts can be accessed by lifting off the 

logo plate to expose the mounting nuts as shown below. 

Units manufactured after serial date code 0605 should not have this issue.

SUBJECT: Cleaning “White-Dust” From Amana®-Brand Condenser Coils 



® 



SR-010 

Due to various environmental contaminants such as grease, oil, dirt, salt water, UV light, etc., some 

Amana®-brand condensing units with pre-painted aluminum fin material have been observed to 

acquire a white appearance, sometimes described as a "white-dust" appearance. 

This condition may arise with Amana®-brand condensing units with pre-painted aluminum material 

built from March 2001 to date (Serial date codes 0103 and later). Amana®-brand products built with 

unpainted aluminum coils are not affected (VCB***, PCA**C, PGB**C, and PHB**C models). 

This “White-Dust” coil appearance is simply a cosmetic issue. Should you experience this condition 

on Amana®-brand condensing units built March 2001 to date (serial date code 0103 and later), we 

recommend the use of the following two coil treatment solutions to treat the coils to prevent the 

damaging effects of environmental contaminants. These two solutions are Marine Pre-Treat and 

Corrosion Guard. 

When applying these two solutions to existing Amana®-brand condensing units installed in the field 

that are experiencing the “white-dust” coil appearance, Marine Pretreat (Part # PIF 1058) must be 

applied first to remove any environmental contaminants from the coil. Next apply Corrosion Guard 

(Part # PIF 2120) to the coil to provide a protective coating to prolong the life of the coil and metal 

surfaces of the unit. Also, if replacement of a condensing coil is deemed necessary, we recommend 

the use of Corrosion Guard solution to be applied to the replacement condenser coil before 

installing the coil to help prevent the “white-dust” coil appearance that may occur in corrosive 

environments. 

NOTE: Please follow the application guidelines for applying either of the two solutions to the 

condensing coils. 

The solutions Marine Pre-Treat Part # PIF 1058 and Corrosion Guard Part # PIF 2120 can be 

ordered directly from Kor-Chem (Telephone (404) 344-9580 or Fax (404) 349-2240). Billing 

Procedures are as follows: standard orders can be charged to an American Express, Visa or 

MasterCard and for large ongoing orders credit can be established with this supplier by contacting 

them for a credit application. These two solutions will be shipped directly from Kor-Chem and can be 

ordered in the following container size as indicated below:

DESCRIPTION 

INDUSTRIAL / HVAC/R PRODUCT 

MARINE PRETREAT 

Formula 1058 



® 



SR-010 

Marine PreTreat is a metal conditioner and surface treatment formulated using advanced chemistry 

for superior results. Marine PreTreat easily and effectively removes salt, dirt, grime, algae, scale, 

grease, oil and other contaminants and deposits. Marine PreTreat rejuvenates rusted metal by 

stopping the corroding action and preventing future rust formation by converting metal surfaces to a 

phosphate coating. Marine PreTreat thoroughly cleans and prepares metal to tightly bond to new 

paint or coatings. The fast acting formulation requires very little dwell time and may be applied by 

spray, dip, brush or roller applications with excellent coverage rates on any metal surface. 

DIRECTIONS 

For cleaning metal surfaces, spray on Marine PreTreat and let stand for 15 minutes. Rinse 

thoroughly with water and allow to dry before coating with Corrosion Guard. Marine PreTreat can 

be applied by brush, spray or roller. Safety glasses and rubber gloves should be used at all times. A 

pump-up sprayer can be used to apply Marine PreTreat but care should be taken when applying 

Marine PreTreat to avoid contacting plants, shrubs and trees. Plants, shrubs and trees should be 

protected to avoid spray mist or product to contact them. 

For aluminum, the contact time should be limited to 15 minutes followed by a thorough rinsing. For 

steel or iron surfaces, the contact time can be extended to 1 to 2 hours. In the case of highly rusted 

steel, the surface should be wire brushed to remove loose rust before the application of Marine 

PreTreat.

DESCRIPTION 

Corrosion Guard is a unique waterborne coating that when applied to air conditioners and other 

metal surfaces will help protect the metal surface from the damaging effects of water, UV light and 

salt spray. Corrosion Guard is completely environmentally friendly and contains no solvents or 

VOC’s. The coating quickly dries to form a durable, flexible clear coating that expands and contracts 

with the metal. Corrosion Guard incorporates anti-deposition technology that resists contaminant 

deposits. Buckets, pails and application equipment can be easily cleaned with water. When surfaces 

are properly cleaned and prepared, Corrosion Guard can help extend the surface life of an air 

conditioning unit. 

DIRECTIONS 

All surfaces and substrates to be coated must be free of all dirt, dust, grease, oil, soot, mildew, 

corrosion, salt deposits and other build-ups or contaminants. Surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned 

with Marine PreTreat or recommended cleaner prior to application of Corrosion Guard. Follow all 

instructions on product label for cleaning and safety prior to application. Proper cleaning of surfaces 

allows Corrosion Guard to tightly bind to and seal targeted surfaces. Allow surfaces sufficient time 

to dry before applying coating. Corrosion Guard may be applied to damp but clean surfaces. 

Corrosion Guard can be applied using a brush, roller, EZ Sprayer or pump-up sprayer with a fine 

mist. Completely coat all surfaces that are to be protected from corrosion (coil, case, grill, etc.). Start 

at the top of the target area to be coated and work down to bottom spraying or coating surfaces 

evenly. Wipe off any excess material with a brush or soft clean cloth. Do not apply Corrosion Guard 

at temperatures below 45°F. See product label for more information.

SUBJECT: RTG**C2A/C Heat Pumps with Defrost Issues 



® 



SR-009 

During this past heating season, we received some field reports of defrost issues with the 

RTG**C2A/C model heat pump units. 

After investigation and further testing in our engineering lab, it has been determined that defrost 

cycle time on the defrost board needs to be set to 30 minutes. The jumper on the defrost board is 

shipped from the factory set to 30 minutes (Figure 1).This setting will allow the defrost cycle to 

properly clear the condenser coil of any build up ice. The defrost sensor will not allow the unit to go 

into the defrost cycle unless the condenser coil temperature is below the 30°F setting of the 

sensor. 

This change in the defrost time improves the defrost board function and ensures the unit will 

operate at its designed efficiency.

SUBJECT: RTG36C2A/C Units Cycling on High Head Pressure in Heat Mode 



® 



SR-008 

During this past heating season, we received reports of some RTG36C2A/C units tripping on high 

head pressure when started in the heating mode. After investigation and further testing in our 

engineering lab, it has been determined that the 3/8” line from the compensator must be relocated 

from the discharge line to the liquid line between the filter drier and the TXV on the outdoor unit to 

allow for proper compensation of the refrigerant charge in the heating mode. 

Units manufactured with serial date code of 0604 and later will not require any field modification, 

since they have been manufactured with compensator piped to liquid line. Also units shipped with 

brown dot on shipping label have been reworked and will not require any field modification. 

The following field modification procedure has been released to correct any units in the field that may 

be experiencing this issue. 

WARNING 

HIGH VOLTAGE! 





1. Turn off all power to the unit. 

2. Recover all refrigerant from the unit. 

3. Cut the 3/8” line from the compensator at the discharge line (Figure 1), crimp and solder 

the line shut at the discharge line (Figure 2). CAUTION: Nitrogen should be swept thru the 

tubing while brazing all joints during the field modification of the compensator tube. 

4. Cut the liquid line and install a tee in the liquid line between the filter drier and the TXV. 

♦ Note: The filter drier should be replaced to eliminate moisture and prevent possible 

contamination of the system on any installed unit but is not required on new units 

that have not been installed. 

Route the 3/8” line from the compensator to the tee in the liquid line. This should require 

approximately 24” of tubing to make this connection. Next solder tube into the liquid line 

(Figure 3) and then pressurize the system with a nitrogen charge and check for leaks. 

5. Evacuate the system to 250 microns or less using suction and liquid service valves. Using 

both valves is necessary as some compressors create a mechanical seal separating the 

sides of the system. 

6. Charge the system by weighing the charge into the unit. The RTG36C2A/C and 15’ line set 

requires 300 oz. of refrigerant. Add .55 oz. per foot for line sets over 15 feet. 


8. Set thermostat to call for heating mode of operation and verify proper unit operation. Also 

check unit in cooling mode of operation.

SUBJECT: Hard Start Kit Information 

As the majority of products supplied by Goodman are matched to achieve their ratings with flowrator 

expansion devices, those products do not come equipped with any “Start Components”. Should a 

Goodman product be installed on an expansion valve indoor coil in which the pressures do not equalize 

within two (2) minutes, a supplemental start kit may be required to prevent non-starting and internal 

overload trips. Per Copeland® application bulletin AE4-1329, pressure differentials as low as 2 PSIG 

can prevent compressors from starting without start assist. 

Low voltage, slow equalization of high to low side pressures, or a tight compressor are the most 

common causes for a starting problem. Compressors that are rated 230/208 V. have an operating 

range of 253 VAC to 197 VAC. However, during start-up, the voltage can drop 10-15 volts due to high 

start up current draw. Units can not be operated and should not be installed where the supply voltage 

exceeds 253 V. or the lock rotor voltage is less than 197 V. Contact the local power company and 

request a correction of the supply voltage if necessary. 

Note: Start assist components are not a cure for low voltage applications and will not prevent 

compressor failure due to continuous operation on low voltage supplies. 

Start problems created by a tight fitting compressor will normally be corrected after a run in period and 

permanent start assist is not necessary. 

Field installed Hard Start kits are considered accessory items, and should be purchased as such. 

Therefore, attached is a start capacitor and start relay cross-reference chart as they pertain to 

Copeland compressors. 

As a supplement to this, Goodman offers the following “Compressor Saver” start kits for use on its 

HVAC products: 

CSR-U-1 1 to 3 Ton 

CSR-U-2 3 to 5 Ton 

CSR-U-3 4 to 5 Ton Scroll 

The specifications for these kits is attached. Use of these kits will NOT void any Goodman warranties. 

The CS “Compressor Saver” kits may be purchased through our Goodman Service Parts department.

SUBJECT: Airflow adjustment to MBE Air Handler and AMV/GMV Furnace using AFE18-60A All 

Fuel Kit when Matched with RTG Heat Pump 

We have received field reports of the RTG heat pump cycling on high pressure switch because of a low 

airflow issue with MBE air handler and with AMV/GMV variable speed model furnace when using the 

AFE18-60A all fuel kit. When the unit is operating in the heat mode, on a call for heat the thermostat 

signal from Y1 is bringing the blower on at only 60% airflow, resulting in a nuisance tripping of the high 

pressure switch on the RTG heat pump. Only when the thermostat calls for a Y2 signal is the blower 

ramping to 100% airflow. 

The following field modification procedure has been released to correct any units in the field that may be 

experiencing this issue. 

1. Disconnect power from indoor and outdoor units at disconnect switch. 

2. Remove control panel cover on the RTG unit. 

3. Remove the wires from terminals Y2 and High Comp on the two speed fan control board. 

4. Install a jumper wire with piggyback terminals between Y2 and High Comp. 

5. Replace the wires that were removed from the Y2 and High Comp terminals. 

6. Reconnect the power to the indoor and outdoor units. 

7. Replace control panel and check operation of the system.

This procedure will correct the airflow and prevent the nuisance high pressure switch trips on the RTG 

heat pump when matched with the MBE air handler or AMV/GMV variable speed model furnace using 

the AFE18-60A All Fuel Kit. The application will operate in the following sequence: 

Heat Pump Heating Mode 

When a "Y1" heating demand is initiated, the condenser fan will run on low speed. The two speed 

control board will energize the compressor relay, K2, and provide 24Vac to the "High Comp" terminal to 

energize the compressor solenoid to shift to high speed. With the jumper from "High Comp" to "Y2" in 

place, 24Vac will be provided to the "Y2" wire and sent back inside to the board in the indoor unit. When 

the indoor unit receives the 24Vac at it's "Y2" terminal, the motor will go to high cfm. 

A "Y2" heating demand on the RTG has no affect on the unit operation because it is designed to run on 

high compressor and low condenser fan for the "Y1" heating demand. The addition of the jumper merely 

sends a "Y2" demand from the RTG to the indoor unit to change the blower to high cfm to fix the current 

field problems. When the "Y1" demand is satisfied, the compressor and condenser fan will be turned off 

and the indoor blower will coast to a stop based on the delay off programming. 

Defrost Mode 

The installed jumper has no affect on the system during a defrost cycle. Before a defrost cycle is 

initiated, the unit will be operating with the compressor on high speed, the condenser fan on low speed, 

and the indoor blower on high cfm as described above under Heat Pump Heating Mode. When a defrost 

cycle is initiated, the compressor will remain on high speed, the indoor blower will remain on high cfm 

and the condenser fan will be turned off. When the defrost cycle is terminated, the reversing valve will 

be de-energized and the condenser fan will start to run again on low speed. The unit will now operate as 

described under Heat Pump Heating Mode. 

Heat Pump Cooling Mode 

When a "Y1" cooling demand is initiated, the condenser fan will run on low speed. The two speed 

control board will not energize the compressor relay, K2, so the compressor will run on low speed and 

no voltage will be supplied to the "High Comp" terminal. With only a Y1 demand present, the indoor 

blower will run on low cfm. 

When a "Y2" cooling demand is initiated, the fan relay, K1, on the two speed control board will be 

energized and switch the condenser fan to high speed. The two speed control board will also energize 

the compressor relay, K2, and provide 24Vac to the "High Comp" terminal to energize the compressor 

solenoid to shift to high speed. With the jumper from "High Comp" to "Y2" in place, 24Vac will be 

provided to the "Y2" wire and sent back inside to the board in the indoor unit. With the "Y2" demand 

already initiated by the indoor thermostat, 24Vac will already be at the "Y2" terminal of the indoor unit 

and the indoor blower will run on high speed. 

With the jumper in place, the system will be locked in second stage operation with the compressor on 

high speed, the condenser fan on high speed, and the indoor unit on high cfm until the "Y1" demand is 

satisfied. This is the way most if not all electronic thermostats operate in two speed applications. When 

a "Y2" demand is initiated, the thermostat will keep "Y2" energized until the "Y1" demand is satisfied. 

When the "Y1" demand is satisfied, the compressor and condenser fan will be turned off and the indoor

® 

SERVICE 

BULLETIN 

SR-002 

In response to field concerns with various issues like loose insulation, loose blower wheels, and other 

issues on the new MBE/MBR model air handlers, we are currently reworking all remaining inventory of 

2004 built MBE/MBR model air handlers (serial date code 0407 to 0412). This rework involves all 

remaining inventory of MBE/MBR units at all our factory warehouses and involves the following items: 

1. New Door with New Insulation. 

2. Top Panel Insulation. 

3. Improved Wrapper Insulation adhesion. 

4. Control Panel Changed (slot for circuit breaker mounting). 

5. New Blower Housing Mounting Brackets. 

6. Torque Checked on Motor Mounting Bolts. 

The MBE/MBR air handlers that have been reworked can be identified by a blue dot on the 

traveler label on the unit. 

If after inspecting your inventory of MBE/MBR units you have a significant quantity on hand of 2004 built 

product (serial date code 0407 to 0412) and would like to have the corrections as indicated above made 

to these products, please contact your customer order representative to obtain a return authorization to 

have the units returned for rework. All product will be returned to distributor inventory after being 

reworked. All products built in 2005 (serial date code 0501 and later) were built with the new processes 

and procedures in place to prevent the issues as listed above. 

We would like to thank our distributors and dealers for their patience, while we make improvements to 

the air handlers in production and rework the inventory to improve the quality of the MBE/MBR air 

handlers.

SUBJECT: Suction Line Fitting Installation on Corporate Coils and Air Handlers 

We have received field reports of problems with the installation of suction line tubing into the suction 

fitting on corporate coils and air handlers in certain applications. After investigating the issue and testing 

the procedure, the following guidelines have been developed to assist installers when encountering this 

issue in the field. 

1. Release the holding charge from the coil. 

2. Using a good tube cutter, cut the process fitting approximately ½ from the end of the fitting. This 

allows the cut to be made on the fitting that is not tapered at the end of the tube (See Figure 1). 

3. Slowly cut the tube making sure not to crimp the tube. This will ensure that the end of the tube is the 

correct size to allow for ease of insertion of the suction line tubing. 

4. Use a deburring tool, carefully remove the burr on the inside of the tube that may have been created 

by the cutting process (See Figure 2). NOTE: Make sure to clean all copper shavings from inside 

the fitting before inserting the suction line tubing. 

5. Next insert the suction line tubing into the fitting while slowly twisting the tube back and forth as it is 

inserted into the fitting on the coil. 

6. If the tube is difficult to insert into the fitting, it may be necessary to heat the fitting with a torch and 

slowly slide the tube into the fitting with a slight twisting action (See Figure 3). 

NOTE: Please make sure to properly protect the cased coil or air handler cabinet from the torch which 

could burn the paint on the cabinet if installing a painted cased coil or air handler. Also make sure to 

wear gloves or other protection to prevent severe burns from the hot tubing when brazing the tubing 

into the coil. 

Using these guidelines the installer should be able to fit the tubing into the suction line fitting without the 

use of a swedging tool or addition of a coupling.

SA-006 

Goodman has received reports from some contractors that they are experiencing higher failure 

rates on the GE version, B1360321 Contactor produced and used in some Goodman products 

prior to May 1, 2006. Even though the overall incident rate of this part is low, it is higher than what 

is acceptable and higher than what we typically see on other similar components. 

Due to this unacceptable failure rate, Goodman will provide a $50 labor allowance when replacing 

failed B1360321 GE Contactors installed in our products. To receive this labor allowance under 

this program the contactor must be returned to Goodman at the address provided below. All 

contactors must be returned to receive labor for service performed after June 18, 2007. With prior 

approval, Goodman will provide labor for contactors replaced after January 1, 2007 and before 

June 18, 2007 without the requirement to return these contactors. 

A warranty claim form (RF000007) must be completed for each unit serviced and must reference 

Project Code 8595 in section 6 (Project Code) on the warranty claim form. Alternately the claim can 

be filed on Service Bench (preferred) as Warranty Type "Epidemic" using 8595 as the 

'authorization #'. The claim will be paid after receipt of the parts and review of the claim by The 

Warranty Department. 

Failed Contactors should be addressed and returned to: 

Goodman Manufacturing 

"PROJECT 8595" 

7401 Security Way 

Houston, Texas 77040

SUBJECT: Dirty Sock Syndrome 

What is dirty sock syndrome? An unpleasant odor (i.e. wet, dirty sock smell) that comes from micro-organisms 

growing on the cooling coil surface, in the crevices of the tubes and fin stock of the indoor coil and in the drain 

pan. This growth of mold and bacteria is more susceptible in high-efficiency heat pumps. It occurs when switching 

between the cooling cycle and the heat pump cycle (also known as the “defrost mode”) because the heating cycle 

is not hot enough to destroy the microorganisms. 

In some homes, the spore phases of these microbes accumulate from changes in moisture and temperature, 

causing the spore sacks to release gases that result in odors. Poor indoor air quality comes from the release of 

these and other gases that build up in the home. Inadequate ventilation can increase indoor pollutant levels by not 

bringing in enough outdoor air to dilute emissions from these indoor sources and by not carrying indoor air 

pollutants out of the home. 

The dirty sock syndrome happens with a very small amount of heat pumps that are installed. The U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) confirms the primary problem by saying, “There is no practical way to 

eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment; the way to control indoor mold growth is to control 

moisture.” http://www.epa.gov/mold 

Homes that have a higher mold spore and moisture content, will add to the possibility of the “dirty sock syndrome.” 

Newer homes that are built “tight” (very little infiltration) can suffer from this syndrome. Homes built off the ground, 

and enclosed at the bottom, can hold excessive moisture. It may help to install a plastic moisture barrier on the 

ground, under the house. 

Common Questions? 

Does the equipment cause this condition? NO! This condition is not the result of a design or manufacturing 

defect. 

Why does the odor occur mainly with heat pumps? The indoor coil temperature reaches approximately 120 – 

130°F and has a higher humidity at the coil surface area. This is a ideal condition for micro-organisms to thrive. In 

most gas fired furnaces, the coil temperature can exceed 160° F. This higher heating temperature is a dry 

enough atmosphere to virtually eliminate this condition and destroy the organisms. 

What causes the smell and is it dangerous? Spores, molds and fungi may attach themselves to the coil and 

water from the drain pan. These substances may be found in systems that have never experienced any odors. In 

some homes, the spore phases of these microbes accumulate from changes in moisture and temperature, 

causing the spore sacks to release gases that result in odors.

SERVICE 

BULLETIN

SA-003 

There is no medical evidence to establish that the “Dirty Sock” smell is associated with any ailments. It can be a 

very pungent smell that is said to resemble “sweaty feet” or a smell similar to that experienced in a gymnasium 

locker room. 

Why do I have the odor and my neighbors don’t? Duplicate conditions such as the amount of moisture, microorganism 

food source and temperature may not be the same. 

There are instances in which one home has two heat pump systems, but only one exhibits this condition. It has 

been found, when removing a unit from one location having the problem and later re-installing it at another 

location that the odor does not come back in the same unit. However, a newly installed unit at the same location 

may exhibit the effect. 

There are also reports that the odor disappeared for several years after cleaning, sometimes returning and 

sometimes never returning. 

One thing that appears constant is that this condition affects mostly heat pumps located in high humidity areas of 

the country (i.e. Southeastern United States) and a few scattered reports in other areas of the country. 

Will Ultra Violet (UVC) lights help? Yes! Properly designed and installed UVC/UVGI lights will help. UVC is a 

short-wave ultraviolet radiation, in the “C” band of 200 – 280 nanometers. It has a germicidal ability to destroy 

viruses, mold and bacteria. UVGI refers to ultraviolet germicidal irradiation, which is the same as UVC. The key is 

to install the lights on the supply side, just above the evaporator coil. It may be necessary to install a dual tube 

light to adequately cover the entire coil surface. Additional UVC lights may also be installed downstream in the 

main supply duct. 

Will a whole house dehumidifier help? Yes. According to the EPA, the ideal level of humidity is 30% to 50%. 

The whole house dehumidifier, with a fresh air exchange option is a good combination. Fresh air exchangers, 

known as Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERV) are also available for different applications. Exchanging fresh 

outdoor air with stale indoor air is important to a healthier home. 

What will help reduce the “dirty sock syndrome”? The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 

publication (EPA 402-K-02-003) states: “Keep indoor humidity low. If possible, keep indoor humidity below 60 

percent (ideally between 30 and 50 percent) relative humidity. Vent appliances that produce moisture, such as 

clothes dryers, stoves . . . to the outside where possible. Run the bathroom fan or open the window when 

showering. Use exhaust fans . . . whenever cooking.” 

A clean house, with a high quality air tight filter system, changed regularly, is the first line of defense. Most air 

filters do not trap tiny particles of mold spores, viruses and bacteria. It is important that the evaporator coil, drain 

pan and drain lines are clean. Annual cleaning of the coil, drain pan and drain lines is important because there 

may be some air bypass of the filter. Properly designed and installed UVC/UVGI lights will help. 

To help assist you, we evaluated products from Controlled Release Technologies and recommend treating 

the coil with “Fast Attack” System sanitizer, immediately followed by an application of “First Strike Micro-Coat”. 

See their website at http://www.cleanac.com/EPAMoldSolutions.htm click under Disinfection tab. 

These chemicals can be purchased directly from “Controlled Release Technologies” at 1-800-766-9057. Another 

product called “Klein Shield Mold Encapsulant Plus – Formula 1906” is available from “Kor-Chem, Inc.” at (404) 

344-9580. We also recommend kit DS-1 or DS-PG for cleaning as these kits include instructions and all the 

chemicals needed to treat one system. The DS-PG in particular includes an additional chemical to help eliminate 

any bacteria that may be present in the drain pan. In some cases, this treatment process may need to be 

repeated annually. Use of all products must be accomplished using strict adherence to the manufacturer’s 

directions.

Conclusion 

Page 3 of 3 

SA-003 

The “Dirty Sock Syndrome” is an indoor air quality problem. It is not caused, nor prevented by, the air conditioning 

(Heat Pump) equipment. This problem must be properly recognized and addressed by the homeowner in 

cooperation with the installing dealer. 

If your home has musty, stale odors you may have a poor indoor environment. Poor indoor air quality can increase 

the chances of getting “dirty sock syndrome”. 

We recommend considering the following as suggestions for improving this condition: 

(1.) Cleaning the indoor coil, drain pan and drain lines. 

(2.) Application and proper use of the suggested products in the section above, entitled: What will help reduce the 

“dirty sock syndrome”? 

(3.) Properly designed and installed UVC/UVGI lights. 

(4.) Exchanging stale air for fresh outdoor air. Fresh air exchangers, also known are Energy Recovery Ventilators 

(ERV), are also available. 

(5.) Keeping the humidity level between 30 – 50% by using a whole house dehumidifier. 

(6.) A high quality air filtration system, annual maintenance of the equipment and keeping the indoor home 

environment clean.

SUBJECT: ECM/X13 Motor and ECM End Bell Control Module Kit Cross- 

Reference List 

We are pleased to announce the release of an ECM/X13 Motor and ECM End Bell Control 

Module Kit cross-reference list for all variable speed Amana ® and Goodman ® brand furnaces, 

package units and air handlers. These lists show the existing service replacement ECM/X13 

Motors and ECM End Bell Control Module Kits, and their corresponding replacement. 

The following lists on Pages 4, 5, 6 and 7 show the original ECM/X13 Motor for a product and 

the history of parts substitution(s) for a specific motor along with corresponding service 

replacement ECM End Bell Control Module Kit. These new lists provide new ECM/X13 motor 

and ECM End Bell Control Module Kit part numbers for many units on the lists, but some 

ECM/X13 Motor numbers will remain the same. 

You will notice that in the Amana ® list on Page 4, four of the entries in the list, package cooling and 

heat pump units (PCC60C, PHB60/PHD42, 48 & 60C), the ECM Motor and End Bell Control 

Module Kits sub over to a Service R Kit which contains the designated ECM Motor or End Bell 

Control Module Kit along with a Door Gasket Kit (Part # RF000179). These kits (Part #’s 

RF000192, 93, 94, 95, 96 & 97) containing the door gasket material were released to help in 

reducing infiltration of outdoor ambient air into the conditioned air compartments and improving 

overall Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) on the package cooling and heat pump units previously called out. 

The Door Gasket Kit (Part # RF000179) can also be ordered as a separate item for those wishing 

to add it to package cooling and heat pump units produced prior to the date codes of the units listed 

in Service Bulletin CAG-453. 

With the release of the new ECM End Bell Control Module Kits, we have added an identification 

label to the ECM End Bell Control Module which provides the part # of the ECM End Bell 

Control Module and the ECM Motor that it is programmed for. 

In order to simplify the ECM/X13 Motor and ECM End Bell Control Module part substitutions 

and prevent incorrect parts orders, we are making changes to our service parts listings located in 

ASAP (Amana Service Authorized Parts) CD ROM program, Parts Manuals and the Service Parts 

system. In the past, all ECM Motor part numbers were automatically substituted over to ECM 

End Bell Control Module Kits. This was set up this way in the past due to the fact that 99% of the 

time the failures were attributed to the ECM End Bell Control Module and not the ECM Motor. 

The changes that are currently taking place are the elimination of the automatic substitutions from 

the ECM Motor to the ECM End Bell Control Module Kit that were referenced in Service 

Bulletin CAG-430 that was released August 30, 2001. 

In the previous Service Bulletin CAG-430, in the unlikely event that a complete ECM Motor was 

needed, we required the dealer to contact their Distributor Technical Service Manager when 

ordering the complete ECM Motor, but this will not be required with the changes currently taking 

place. Both the complete ECM Motor assembly and ECM End Bell Control Module Kit will be 

listed for a specific unit and it will be necessary for the service technician to determine which 

component has failed and not arbitrarily change the entire ECM Motor assembly. The ECM 

Page 1 of 7

SA-002 Rev 3 

End Bell Control Module will still allow us to be able to offer the homeowners a repair part for the 

ECM motor at a cost comparable to a standard motor when it has been determined that this 

component has failed and not the motor. 

Extensive research by GE and Goodman showed that a failure of the motor portion was extremely 

rare and this was the reason for the previous automatic substitution to the ECM End Bell Control 

Module, but with improved ECM Motors, troubleshooting information and test equipment, we are 

confident that this change in providing both the complete ECM Motor and ECM End Bell 

Control Module part numbers will help simplify part(s) orders and eliminate incorrect part(s) orders 

that have occurred in the past. 

WARRANTY PROCEDURES: 

Goodman will continue to pay class “B” labor for ECM End Bell Control Modules replaced with 

ASURE or GoodCare labor coverage. 

On the few claims where you are claiming warranty on a complete ECM motor assembly, you 

must indicate as such on the warranty claim form and include a copy of the invoice for the 

complete motor assembly. 

MOTOR TESTING: 

Troubleshooting information on ECM motors is available on the “InfoFinder” CD ROM. To open 

the ECM troubleshooting manual, type in “ECM” in the literature # field (the third field) on the 

“Info-Finder opening screen. The ECM troubleshooting manual has extensive testing information 

on the ECM Motor and End Bell Control Modules. All of our service manuals are being revised to 

also provide detailed troubleshooting information on ECM Motors and the End Bell Control 

Modules. 

Basically, you are verifying that the signal (24V) from the control is reaching the End Bell Control 

Module. If you are not reading a signal (24V) to the motor, the control or interface board is 

defective and not the End Bell Control Module. 

If you suspect the motor portion of the ECM has failed: 

WARNING 

HIGH VOLTAGE. 

Disconnect ALL power before servicing or installing this unit. Multiple power sources may 

be present. Failure to do so may cause property damage, personal injury or death. 

1. Disconnect power to the unit. Wait 5 minutes to allow internal capacitor to discharge. 

2. Remove the End Bell Control Module (5-pin connector, 16-pin connector, and two screws on 

the end of the control module. 

3. Between the End Bell Control Module and the motor, there is a 3-pin connector linking the 

motor to the control module. Disconnect the 3-pin connector. 

4. Using an Ohmmeter, check the motor windings for continuity to ground. Continuity to ground 

(3-pin connector to shell) indicates a failed motor and the complete ECM motor assembly 

must be replaced. 

5. Using an Ohmmeter, check the motor winding for continuity through the windings (pin to pin at 

the 3-pin connector). No continuity may indicate the motor is open on internal (thermal) 

overload. Allow the motor to cool and retest. If, after allowing the motor to cool, you still have 

no continuity, replace the complete ECM motor assembly. 

IT IS NORMAL to feel a slight resistance as you rotate the shaft of the ECM motor. This is the 

effect of the stator magnets passing through the field windings. This is not an indication of failed 

bearings. The motor assembly does not need to be replaced. 

Page 2 of 7

SA-002 Rev 3 

Provided with each End Bell Control Module Kit are replacement instructions (Part # 20299901 – 

ECM Module Replacement), providing specific instructions for replacement of a defective End 

Bell Control Module and use of an Ohm Meter for testing for a defective ECM Motor. 

CAUTION 

Using the wrong End Bell Control Module voids all product warranties and may produce 

unexpected results. 

NOTE: You MUST have the correct replacement module. The controls are factory programmed for 

specific operating modes. Even though they look alike, different End Bell Control Modules may 

have completely different functionality. 

Also available from Goodman is the GE TECMATEXL service tool (Part # GETECMATEXL), 

which is a low cost, easy to use device that will analyze the GE ECM Motor independent of the 

HVAC system. It operates in the basic HVAC settings of fan-only, heating, cooling and dehumidification. 

This tool is specially designed to detect and isolate motor failures from other HVAC 

system failures. To order this service tool, contact Service Parts. 

Please provide these ECM Motor and ECM End Bell Control Module Kit cross-reference lists 

to all your personnel who will be ordering these parts, so they can correctly identify their part 

numbers when needing to order any ECM components.

SUBJECT: New Service Bulletin Numbering System 

Goodman Technical Services is pleased to announce the release of a new service bulletin numbering 

system. The new service bulletin numbering system is divided up into specific product groups (i.e. 

remotes, furnaces and package units), and below are the details of how the new numbering system 

works: 

♦ SA - All Products (Remotes, Furnaces and Package Units) 

♦ SF - Furnaces (80% and 90% Furnaces and Accessories) 

♦ SP - Package Units (Package Units and Accessories) 

♦ SR - Remote Units (Remotes, Air Handlers, Coils and Accessories) 

The new service bulletin numbering system has been changed to eliminate the need for producing two 

bulletins covering the same issue on Amana® and Goodman® products, since we are one company with 

two brands of products. As new bulletins are released, subsequent bulletins will be consistent with this 

new numbering system. 

We feel this new numbering system will be easier to manage and eliminate the need for us along with 

you to maintain the bulletins in two separate locations or distribute the bulletins through separate 

distribution channels.

NO: CAG - 483 

SUBJECT: ARUF032-00A-1B and ARPT032-00C-1B Air Handler Blower Motor Noise 

We have received some field reports concerning a high pitched blower noise on some ARUF032 and 

ARPT032 air handlers. After investigating the issue, it has been determined that the blower wheel and motor 

combination used in the two air handler models listed above, may create a harmonic noise in certain 

applications and under certain circumstances. 

If this issue is experienced with any ARUF032-00A-1B or ARPT032-00C-1B air handler already installed in 

the field, we are recommending replacement of the blower motor and wheel with the following Blower 

Motor/Wheel Kit, Part # 0270A00026S. 

WARNING 

To avoid property damage, personal injury or death due to electrical shock, disconnect the 

electrical power supply before servicing this unit. Some models will have two power 

sources, so be certain to disconnect both power sources. This may include the indoor unit 

as well as the outdoor unit. 

Installations Instructions for Blower Motor/Wheel Kit, Part # 0270A00026S 

1. Disconnect blower motor wires from control board and capacitor. 

2. Remove blower housing from the air handler. 

3. Remove the motor and blower wheel from the blower assembly. 

4. Replace these parts with the new motor and blower wheel supplied with kit, Part # 0270A00026S. 

5. Reinstall blower assembly in air handler and reconnect wires to control board and capacitor. 

Note: Refer to wiring diagram on unit to properly reconnect blower wires to control board and 

capacitor.

SUBJECT: OT18-60A Outdoor Thermostat Set Point Issue 

NO: CAG-482 

We have received some field reports of the OT18-60A Kits with Outdoor Thermostats being out of calibration. 

After reviewing the issue, it has been determined that the outdoor thermostats are not out of calibration but 

the hole in the mounting bracket is too small to see the set point indicator on the thermostat dial and get the 

set point properly set to match the setting on the label. 

If this issue is experienced with any of the OT18-60 or OT18-60A kits already installed in the field, to properly 

adjust the outdoor thermostat set point we are providing two solutions to the issue. The first method is 

scribing of a reference line on the setscrew and the second method is an enlargement of the mounting 

bracket hole in order to properly set the thermostat to the desired temperature setting. 

WARNING 

To avoid property damage, personal injury or death due to electrical shock, disconnect the electrical 

power supply before servicing this unit. Some models will have two power sources, so be certain to 

disconnect both power sources. This may include the indoor unit as well as the outdoor unit. 

ADJUSTMENT METHOD (NO ENLARGEMENT OF BRACKET HOLE NECESSARY) 

1. Disconnect all electrical power (both indoor and outdoor) to the unit. (Note: It will not be necessary to 

remove the outdoor thermostat or any wires from the outdoor thermostat). 

2. Leave the outdoor thermostat assembly in the unit. 

3. Insert a screwdriver in the slot of the setscrew and rotate the dial counterclockwise to the 45° setting. 

4. Scribe a line on the setscrew at the 45° mark using an awl or marker (see Figure 1 below for Set Point 

Adjustment Screw with Scribed Mark). 

5. Once a line has been scribed on the setscrew, use this mark to set the outdoor thermostat set point to 

desired setting. 

6. Next, reconnect the electrical power supply to the unit and check for proper unit operation.

ALTERNATE ADJUSTMENT METHOD - MOUNTING BRACKET HOLE ENLARGEMENT 

1. Disconnect all electrical power (both indoor and outdoor) to the unit. (Note: It will not be necessary to 

remove any wires from the outdoor thermostat). 

2. Remove the complete outdoor thermostat assembly from the unit. 

3. Next, remove the outdoor thermostat from the mounting bracket. 

4. After removing the outdoor thermostat from the mounting bracket, it will be necessary to enlarge the hole 

in the mounting ½” in diameter. This will allow the installer to see the set point scribed on the dial from 

the manufacturer (see Figure 2 below) 

5. Reinstall the outdoor thermostat on the mounting bracket and then reinstall the outdoor thermostat 

assembly in the unit. 

6. Next, reconnect electrical power supply to the unit and check for proper unit operation.

All current inventories of the OT18-60A kits will need to have either one of the corrections indicated above 

made upon installation in order to properly adjust the set point to the desired setting. An engineering change 

notice has been released to correct future production of the OT18-60A kits, by enlarging the mounting 

bracket hole so Set Point Indicator Mark on the Set Point Adjustment Screw can be observed to accurately 

set the thermostat to the desired temperature.

SUBJECT: Corporate Air Handler and Coil Orifice Changes for Amana® brand RSC* and RTC* R-410A Units 

With the introduction of the new Corporate Air Handler and Corporate Coils, we are issuing this bulletin to 

coordinate the change from the Aeroquip distributor assembly used in previous Amana® brand coils to the Chatleff 

distributor used in the corporate coils and air handlers. The orifice supplied with the Amana® brand condensing 

units will not fit properly into the distributor housing of the corporate coil. The Aeroquip orifice is much smaller than 

the corporate orifice made by Chatleff. 

The Chatleff brand orifice used in some previous coils can be forced into the corporate distributor housing, but by 

doing this, the orifice will not move or seat properly in the distributor housing which in turn will create improper unit 

performance. NOTE: The Amana® brand orifice should not be forced into the distributor housing or damage to the 

distributor housing or orifice will occur and create problems as previously indicated. 

The noticeable difference between the two orifices is as follows; the Amana® brand orifice is equipped with a black 

rubber O-Ring located on the end of orifice, while the corporate orifice is equipped with a white Teflon O-Ring on 

the end of orifice. These O-Rings are used for sealing purposes. 

When installing the RSC**C2A / C2C or the RTC**C2A /C2C remote condensers, it will be necessary to use the 

corporate piston kit listed below that matches the remote condenser. Distributors will need to order the corporate 

piston kits, to be supplied with Amana® brand condensing units that are in the C2A or C2C series of units. This 

bulletin only applies when matching these remote condensers with the Corporate Coils and Air Handlers.

SUBJECT: Field Problems with HKR03, 05, 06, 08 & 10KW Heat Kits in AEPT and MBE Applications 

We have received some reports of AEPT and MBE air handlers running a high CFM in the heating mode 

with only one stage of heat. Even when the PJ4 jumper is cut on the VSTB (Variable Speed Tap Board) 

as instructed, the blower will continue to run a high CFM. In single stage heat applications, the blower 

should lower the CFM when the PJ4 jumper is cut. 

After our investigation of the issue, we have determined the problem to be on the HKR heaters with 10KW 

and below, which are single stage heaters. The brown wire, which is required for second stage heat on multistage 

heaters, is also installed on the single stage heaters and is connected between pin #5 of the heater 

plug and the sequencer for first stage heat. When first stage heat is energized, 24VAC is fed back from the 

sequencer through the brown wire to the VSTB in the AEPT and MBE units causing the blower to run at the 

higher CFM. This brown wire is not needed on single stage heaters and as it is right now, it causes the 

blower to run at the higher CFM in AEPT and MBE units in AC applications only. In Heat Pump applications, 

the blower will run at the higher CFM for heat pump heating and the electric heater becomes the second 

stage of heating, so the problem does not exist. The brown wire has no affect on the AR and MBR units since 

the use the constant speed motors and the 24VAC feedback can't cause a speed change. 

We are currently working to get this issue corrected in manufacturing by removing the brown wire from the 

HKR03, 05, 06, 08 & 10KW heaters. Prior to this change, the solution in the field in AC applications with 

AEPT and MBE units using single stage heaters is to disconnect the brown wire (see Figure 1) from the heat 

sequencer and either cut or use a pin push tool to remove the wire from the 9-pin connector plug on the 

heater, thereby preventing the 24VAC from being back fed to the VSTB on a heating demand.

SUBJECT: Copeland ® Two Step Modulated Scroll Compressor Troubleshooting 

® 





Page 1 of 2 

NO: CAG-478 

This letter is in regards to requests we have received for troubleshooting information on the Copeland ® Two 

Step Modulated Scroll Compressor. 

The following are excerpts from the Copeland ® AE4-1311 Engineering Bulletin that provides proper 

troubleshooting for the Copeland ® 2 Step Modulating Scroll Compressor: 

The basic scroll design has been modified with the addition of an internal unloading mechanism that opens a 

by-pass port in the first compression pocket, effectively reducing the displacement of the scroll. The opening 

and closing of the by-pass port is controlled by an internal electrically operated solenoid (see Figure 1). The 

ZPS/ZRS modulated scroll uses a single step of unloading to go from full capacity to approximately 67% 

capacity (see Figure 2). A single speed, high efficiency motor continues to run while the scroll modulates 

between the two capacity steps.

CAG-478 

Unloader Solenoid 

A nominal 24-volt direct current coil activates the internal unloader solenoid. The input control circuit voltage 

must be 18 to 28 volt ac. The coil power requirement is 20 VA. The external electrical connection is made 

with a molded plug assembly (PN 029-0311-00). This plug contains a full wave rectifier to supply direct 

current to the unloader coil (see Figure 3). 

Unloader Test Procedure 

If it is suspected that the unloader is not working, the following methods may be used to verify operation. 

1. Operate the system and measure compressor amperage. Cycle the unloader on and off at ten second 

intervals. The compressor amperage should go up or down at least 25 percent. 

2. If step one does not give the expected results shut unit off. Apply 18 to 28 volt ac to the unloader molded 

plug leads and listen for a click as the solenoid pulls in. Remove power and listen for another click as the 

unloader returns to its original position. 

3. If clicks can’t be heard, shut off power and remove the control circuit molded plug from the compressor 

and measure the unloader coil resistance. The resistance should be 32 to 60 ohms, depending on 

compressor temperature. 

4. Next check the molded plug. Voltage check: Apply control voltage to the plug wires (18 to 28 volt ac). The 

measured dc voltage at the female connectors in the plug should be around 15 to 27 vdc. Resistance 

check: Measure the resistance from the end of one molded plug lead to either of the two female 

connectors in the plug. One of the connectors should read close to zero ohms while the other should 

read infinity. Repeat with other wire. The same female connector as before should read zero while the 

other connector again reads infinity. Reverse polarity on the ohmmeter leads and repeat. The female 

connector that read infinity previously should now read close to zero ohms. Replace plug if either of these 

test methods doesn’t show the desired results.

SUBJECT: Foam Shipping Block on PHB and PHD Large Chassis Package Heat Pumps 

We have received reports of refrigerant leaks occurring at the discharge tube entering the bottom of the 

reversing valve on a small percentage of large chassis PHD and PHB package heat pumps. After extensive 

testing, the root cause of these refrigerant leaks has been determined to be caused by shipping vibration. To 

address this issue, two changes are being made: one engineering change and one involving the addition of 

an extra shipping bracing (foam block). 

The first change will be to shorten the discharge line between the compressor and the reversing valve. This 

will lessen the chance for vibration. 

The second change, which took effect in mid-January 2005, is the placement of a foam block between the 

reversing valve and the condenser partition panel. This foam block prevents the movement of the reversing 

valve and tubing during shipping. Note: This is a temporary foam block that must be removed before starting 

the unit (See Figures 1 and 2 below). 

The models that have the temporary foam shipping block are listed in the chart below. 

Models Affected 

PHB42C02F1 PHD36C02F1 

PHB48C02F1 PHD36CC2F1 

PHB60C02F1 PHD42C02F1 

PHD60C02F1 PHD48C02F1 

Beginning in February 2005, there will be a permanent foam block installed over the end of the reversing 

valve and against the condenser partition panel. Note: The permanent foam block will not need to be 

removed.

SUBJECT: Jakel ID Blowers Seizing on PGD and APG Model Package Gas/Electric Units 

We have received reports of Jakel Induced Draft Blowers Part # 20351402 used on PGD24, 30, 36, 42C*G 

and Part # 20484701 used on APG10 & 12* model package gas/electric units, seizing up after a short period 

of time after the units have been installed. 

Our investigation has determined the issue of motors seizing up to be due to an insufficient clearance 

between the rotor and bearing strap (see figure 1 below). To immediately address this issue, our supplier has 

inspected and verified that the clearance between the rotor and bearing strap, on all current Induced Draft 

Blowers, is within design parameters. We have released a new part number for the ID Blowers, Part # 

20351403 for PGD*C*G models and Part # 20484702 for APG10* & 12* models (see figure 2 below). Along 

with the new part number, the Induced Draft Blower can be identified by a Blue Marking Along the Side of 

the Bobbin (see figure 3 below).

FIGURE 3 

Blue Marking Along the Side of the Bobbin 

All inventory of Jakel ID Blowers (Part #’s 20351402 and 20484701) both production and service have been 

sorted and checked in order to verify the correct clearance between the rotor and bearing strap to prevent 

this issue.

Page 2 of 4 

CAG-475 

Based on reports and from our inspection of the Induced Draft Blower, Part # 20351402 used on PGD24, 30, 

36 & 42C*G model units, we have seen a very low occurrence of the insufficient clearance between the rotor 

and bearing strap and we will not be requiring units in Distributor/Dealer inventory to be inspected or 

reworked. 

All PGD24, 30, 36 & 42C*G model units manufactured beginning with serial code 0412500575 and later, 

have had the Induced Draft Blowers inspected for the correct rotor/bearing strap clearance and should not 

experience this issue. 

All APG10* &12* model units manufactured beginning with serial date code 0412483581 and later, have 

had the Induced Draft Blowers inspected for the correct rotor/bearing strap clearance and should not 

experience this issue. These units can be identified by a Blue Dot next to the travel label on the unit. 

All installed PGD24, 30, 36 & 42C*G model units manufactured in 2004 prior to the serial date code of 

0412500575 and APG10* & 12* model units manufactured in 2004 prior to the serial date code of 

0412483581 should be repaired on a fix on fail basis. 

Due to the Induced Draft Blower Part # 20484701 used on APG10* & 12* model units seizing up because of 

the insufficient clearance between the rotor and bearing strap, we are requiring units in Distributor/Dealer 

inventory to be inspected and if the clearance between the rotor and bearing strap does not meet the 0.012” 

minimum clearance (see figure 4 below) measured with a feeler gauge, then the Induced Draft Blower must 

be replaced. 

A final change is being made to the Jakel ID Blower (Part # 20484702), that is used on APG10 &12* model 

units, by increasing the clearance between the rotor and bearing strap to prevent any future issues. With this 

change we will be releasing a new part number for the Jakel ID Blowers, Part # 20484703. Besides having a 

new part number on the Induced Draft Blower, this part will be marked with a new label (blue label with black 

print). 

Distributors/Dealers should inspect their inventory of service parts of these Induced Draft Blowers (Part #’s 

20351402 and 20484701) for the proper 0.012” or greater clearance between the rotor and bearing strap. For 

any Induced Draft Blowers that do not meet the minimum 0.012” clearance (see figure 4 below) between the 

rotor and bearing strap measured with a feeler gauge, Distributors/Dealers should contact their parts order 

representative to obtain a Return Authorization (RA) for return of these parts.

SUBJECT: HKR Heat Kit Installation on MBE and MBR Module Air Handlers 

® 

NO: CAG-474 

We have received some field reports concerning a mounting problem with the HKR heat kits with 

circuit breakers when used in the MBE and MBR modular air handlers. The issue reported is that 

the placement of the mounting hole in the control panel does not line up with the circuit breaker 

mounting panel in the heat kit. This hole must be relocated closer to the side of the unit. 

While the factory tooling is being changed, a field modification to the blowers is necessary for 

proper installation of the circuit breaker mounting plate. Follow the instructions shipped with the 

heat kit with regards to breaker orientation. However, use the following instructions to mount the 

panel in the unit: 

1. Instead of using the plastic mounting pin to locate the side of the mounting panel to the side of 

the blower wrapper, use two #10 sheet metal screws to attach this panel to the side of the 

blower wrapper. Run the screws through the clearance holes on the wrapper into the 

engagement holes in the circuit breaker mounting panel (See Figure 1). 

2. After this is secured, position the circuit breaker so it protrudes through the front panel, so it 

can be accessed with the front door access door in place. Then locate the far left hole on the 

base of the mounting plate, and then drill a ¼” (.250) diameter clearance hole in the control 

panel at this location. (Note: It will be best to drill from the bottom up since there will be very 

little clearance in the control panel area for use of a drill). 

3. After creating this clearance hole, use the blunt tip screw provided to pass through the 

clearance hole into the engagement hole in the circuit breaker mounting panel (See Figure 2).

SUBJECT: Long Line Set Application R-410A 

NO: CAG - 472 

This long line set application guideline applies to all ARI listed R-410A air conditioner and heat pump split 

system matches of nominal capacity 18,000 to 60,000 Btuh. This guideline will cover installation requirements 

and additional accessories needed for split system installations where the line set exceeds 50 feet in actual 

length. 


1. Crankcase Heater- a long line set application can critically increase the charge level needed for a 

system. As a result, the system is very prone to refrigerant migration during its off-cycle and a 

crankcase heater will help minimize this risk. A crankcase heater is recommended for any long line 

application (50 watt minimum). 

2. Hard Start Assist- increased charge level in long line applications can require extra work from the 

compressor at start-up. A hard start assist device may be required to overcome this. 

Tube Sizing: 

1. In long line applications, the “equivalent line length” is the sum of the straight length portions of the 

suction line plus losses (in equivalent length) from 45 and 90 degree bends. Select the proper 

suction tube size based on equivalent length of the suction line (see Tables 1 & 2 below) and 

recalculated system capacity. 


2. For any residential split system installed with a long line set, the liquid line size must never 

exceed 3/8”. Limiting the liquid line size to 3/8” is critical since an increased refrigerant charge level 

from having a larger liquid line could possibly shorten a compressor’s lifespan. 


• 50 feet is the maximum recommended vertical difference between the condenser and evaporator 

when the evaporator is above the condenser. Equivalent length is not to exceed 150 feet. 

• The vertical difference between the condenser and evaporator when the evaporator is below the 

condenser can approach 150 feet, as long as the equivalent length does not exceed 150 feet. 

• The distance between the condenser and evaporator in a completely horizontal installation in which 

the indoor and outdoor unit do not differ more than 10 feet in vertical distance from each other can 

approach 150 feet, as long as the equivalent length does not exceed 150 feet.

4. Two-Stage Condensing Unit: The maximum length of tubing must not exceed 75 feet where indoor 

coil is located above the outdoor unit. 

NOTE: When the outdoor unit is located above the indoor coil, the maximum vertical rise must not 

exceed 25 feet. If the maximum vertical rise exceeds 25 feet, premature compressor failure will occur 

due to inadequate oil return. 

5. TXV Requirement: All line set applications over 50 ft will require a TXV. 

6. Vibration and Noise: In long line applications, refrigerant tubing is highly prone to transmit noise and 

vibration to the structure it is fastened to. Use adequate vibration-isolating hardware when mounting line 

set to adjacent structure. 

Most refrigerant tubing kits are supplied with 3/8”-thick insulation on the vapor line. For long line installations 

over 50 feet, especially if the line set passes through a high ambient temperature, ½”-thick suction line 

insulation is recommended to reduce loss of capacity. The liquid line should be insulated if passing through 

an area of 120°F or greater. Do not attach the liquid line to any non-insulated portion of the suction line 

Table 1 below lists multiplier values to recalculate system-cooling capacity as a function of a system’s 

equivalent line length (as calculated from the suction line) and the selected suction tube size. Table 2 lists the 

equivalent length gained from adding bends to the suction line. Properly size the suction line to minimize 

capacity loss.

1. In a completely horizontal installation with a long line set where the evaporator is at the same altitude as 

(or slightly below) the condenser, the line set should be sloped towards the evaporator. This helps 

reduce refrigerant migration to the condenser during a system’s off-cycle. 

2. For a system installation where the evaporator is above the condenser, an inverted vapor line trap 

should be installed on the suction line just before the inlet to the evaporator (see Fig 1). The top of the 

inverted loop must be slightly above the top of the evaporator coil and can be created simply by brazing 

two 90° long radius elbows together, if a bending tool is unavailable. Properly support and secure the 

inverted loop to the nearest point on the indoor unit or adjacent structure. 


3. An oil trap is required at the evaporator only if the condenser is above the evaporator. Preformed 

oil traps are available at most HVAC supply houses, or oil traps may be created by brazing tubing 

elbows together (see diagram below). Remember to add the equivalent length from oil traps to the 

equivalent length calculation of the suction line. For example, if you construct an oil trap using two 45° 

elbows, one short and one long 90° elbow in a ¾” diameter suction line, the additional equivalent length 

would be 0.7+ 0.7+1.7+1.5, which equals 4.6 feet (refer to table 2). 


4. Low voltage wiring. Verify low voltage wiring size is adequate for the length used since it will be 

increased in a long line application.

System Charging 

CAG-472 

R-410A condensers are factory charged for 15 feet of line set. To calculate the amount of extra refrigerant (in 

ounces) needed for a line set over 15 feet, multiply the additional length of line set by 0.6 ounces. Note for 

the formula below, the linear feet of line set is the actual length of liquid line (or suction line, since both should 

be equal) used, not the equivalent length calculated for the suction line. 


Where X = 0.6 for 3/8” liquid tubing 

Remember, for condensers with a liquid valve connection less than 3/8” diameter, 3/8” liquid tubing is 

required for a line set longer than 25 feet. 

Follow the charging procedures in the outdoor unit I/O manual to ensure proper superheat and sub-cooling 

levels, especially on a system with a TXV installed in the indoor unit. Heat pumps should be checked in both 

heating and cooling mode for proper charge level. This guideline is meant to provide installation instructions 

based on most common long line set applications. Installation variables may affect system operation.

SUBJECT: AFE18-60A All Fuel Kit 

NO: CAG-470 

Goodman has introduced a new All Fuel Kit (AFE18-60A) that replaces the previous FFK03A Fossil 

Fuel Kit. This new kit is designed for use in heat pump applications where the indoor coil is located 

above/downstream of a gas or fossil fuel furnace. The new kit will operate with all single and two 

stage Amana® heat pumps and single and two stage Amana® gas furnaces (See Figure 1). 

The AFE18-60A control will turn the heat pump off when the furnace is turned on. An anti-cycle 

short cycle feature is also incorporated which initiates a three minute timed off delay when the 

compressor shuts off. On initial power up or loss and restoration of power, this delay will be 

initiated. This control includes a five second de-bounce feature on the “Y”, “E, “W1”, and “O” 

thermostat inputs. The signal must be present for five seconds before the AFE18-60A control will 

respond to the input. 

An optional outdoor thermostat, OT18-60A, may be used with the AFE18-60A to switch from heat 

pump operation to furnace operation below a specific ambient temperature setting. 

NOTE: On the RTG Amana® brand two stage heat pump units, the control in the unit is currently 

designed to run the compressor on high speed and the condenser fan on low speed on a “Y” 

heating demand. The “Y2” demand has no affect on the RTG unit during a heating demand except 

during the defrost cycle. On the RTG two stage heat pumps in the defrost cycle the compressor 

and the fan run on low speed. If a thermostat is used which has two heat pump outputs for heating 

(“Y” and ”Y2”) and a “Y2” demand is also present, the compressor and fan will run on high speed 

during the defrost cycle. This is the only occurrence when a “Y2” demand in the heating mode 

will have an affect on the RTG unit. 

This new All Fuel Kit will now allow all Amana® two stage gas furnaces to operate with all Amana® 

split system heat pumps (single and two stage heat pumps). Provided at the bottom of Page 2 is 

the new Wiring Schematic for the AFE18-60A All Fuel Board. The previous FFK03A Fossil Fuel Kit 

would not allow two stage furnaces to operate with the RTG two stage heat pump (See Figure 2). 

NOTE: There were some FFK03A Fossil Fuel Kits that had revised boards, included “Y2” terminal 

that were applicable for use with two stage heat pumps, but this change was done by our supplier 

without our notification and occurred around May 2004. There were no revision number changes to 

the board, so the only identification of the control is the “Y2” terminal on the board.

SUBJECT: Change From TXV to Flowrator on Amana® brand PGD Package Units 

® 





NO: CAG-469 

In late August 2004, we made a change from using a TXV metering device to a Piston (orifice) metering 

device on the Amana® brand package gas electric units listed below. 

NOTE: Prior to the change in late August from the TXV metering device to the Piston (orifice) metering 

device, there were some units built with the Piston (orifice) metering device due to the unavailability of the 

TXV metering device. When ordering a metering device for a PGD model unit with the “P” numbers listed 

below in the chart on the left, verify whether it has a TXV metering device or a Piston (orifice) metering 

device, because the Parts Manual and ASAP will refer to a TXV. If the unit has a Piston (orifice) metering 

device, then use the piston part number listed below in the chart on the right. 

The model number did not change; however, the “P” number did change. The model and “P” numbers listed 

below in the chart on the left were for the previous TXV style. The “P” numbers listed below in the chart to the 

right shows the new piston style design and the “P” numbers that identify them. The piston sizes and part 

numbers are listed for you information. 

This change from the TXV metering device to the Piston (Orifice) metering device was made after extensive 

testing. We found there was no material change in unit performance.

SUBJECT: New OT18-60A Outdoor Thermostat 

NO: CAG-468 

The new OT18-60A outdoor thermostat is a single pole double throw device that is adjustable from 0° to 45° 

Fahrenheit and is designed for applications with split or package cooling and heat pump products. This new 

outdoor thermostat OT18-60A will replace the previous ATK05 & 06 outdoor thermostats (see figures below). 

In addition to using the OT18-60A to control the electric heat as with the ATK05 & 06 outdoor thermostats, it 

will also address the defrost problem that could occur in low ambient and high humidity conditions. When 

heat pumps are installed in areas with temperatures below 0°F (-18° C) and relative humidities above 50%, a 

separate OT18-60A must be installed and set at 0° F on the dial to turn off the compressor. The OT18-60A 

will turn the compressor off at 0°F and energize W2 with Y from the thermostat to bring on the electric heat. 

This is covered in the installation instructions (IO-510B). You may continue to use the ATK05 & 06 you have 

in current inventory to control the electric heat, but for low ambient applications, you will need the OT18-60A. 

The ATK01 & 04, which is in the weatherproof box, will still be available as an accessory for the Amana 

package units.

SUBJECT: Incorrect Capacitor on VHC60C2A and VHC60C2C 

NO: CAG-466 

The Amana® brand remote heat pump model numbers VHC60C2A and VHC60C2C were shipped with the 

incorrect capacitor installed. The incorrectly installed capacitor, 80/5 microfarad 370V capacitor (Part # 

B945777600), had an incorrect microfarad rating for the condenser fan motor (5 mfd instead of 12.5 mfd). 

The issue that could occur is when the condenser fan motor is loaded (full load RPM torque value) it may not 

perform as designed. The correct capacitor is a 80/12.5 microfarad 370V capacitor (Part # D6789044). 

All VHC60C2A models produced were built with the incorrect capacitor. If you encounter an issue due to the 

incorrect 5 mfd rated capacitor for the condenser fan motor, it may be necessary to replace it with the correct 

capacitor of 12.5 mfd. The VHC60C2C models that were built with the incorrect capacitor were built in August 

2004 (serial date codes 0408180801 to 0408180900). The following serial numbers 0408180806, 808 and 

815 on the VHC60C2C models are NOT affected. These were reworked at the factory with the correct 

capacitor. Distributors should check any inventory still in stock with the models and serial numbers listed 

above. These units will need the correct capacitor (Part # D6789044) installed. 


A claim form (RF000007) must be completed for each installed unit inspected and repaired. All units 

inspected and repaired that are not installed may be submitted using a single warranty claim form. List all 

model and serial numbers serviced in section 7 (parts), or if necessary use an attached sheet. Please ensure 

all information is clearly legible. Distributors submitting warranty claims for units from their inventory are to 

attach the labor reimbursement copy (yellow copy 2) of the claim to a PRF (Parts Return Form). The 

distributor will file the claim online. 


Goodman will pay $20.00 per unit for Distributor/Dealer to change the capacitor per unit in Distributor/Dealer 

Inventory. Only one claim per serial number may be submitted. We DO NOT need the parts returned. 


Goodman will pay Class “A” in home service rate to replace the capacitor on an installed unit. 

Upon receipt of proper documentation by Warranty Administration in Fayetteville, TN, part credit will be 

issued to the distributor and labor credit directly to the servicer. In the event the dealer is not set up as an 

authorized servicer, labor will be issued to the distributor (at the distributors rate) to pass along to the dealer. 

All claims for credit under this program must be submitted online before 5/31/2005.

Page 1 of 2 

NO: CAG-465 

We are using a new service suction valve made by Wilspec on all Amana® brand remote condensing units. 

This change took place approximately October 25, 2004. We will use these new suction valves in the 

following combination sizes of 5/8”, 3/4” and 7/8” in the initial production run. (See picture below). 

We noticed that the initial production run of Wilspec suction valves will not allow the use of a Ritchie® 

Service Wrench and Hex Adapter (Yellow Jacket) # 60609 (below) and the Malco® Service Wrench 

Adapter. The inside depth is not deep enough for the adapter to physically open the valve. A regular hex 

wrench set will open the valve. The use of this initial production run suction valve will continue until 

January or February 2005. We will then increase the depth in future production run of service valves. 

The following page shows that the Wilspec suction valve will not allow the Yellow Jacket hex adapter to go 

all the way down in the service valve.

The hex adapter, where the arrow is pointing, The hex adapter should fit down in the valve

SUBJECT: Corporate Air Handler and Coil Orifice Changes 

® 





NO: CAG-464 

With the introduction of the new Corporate Air Handler and Corporate Coils we have encountered an issue with the 

orifice that is supplied with the Amana® brand condensing unit. The supplied orifice will not fit properly into the 

distributor housing of the corporate coil. 

Chatleff is the manufacturer of both distributor assemblies. Although there is a slight difference in diameter 

specification tolerances between the two orifices, the Amana® brand orifice can be forced into the corporate 

distributor housing, but by doing this, the orifice will not move or seat properly in the distributor housing which in 

turn will create improper unit performance. NOTE: The Amana® brand orifice should not be forced into the 

distributor housing or damage to distributor housing or orifice will occur and create problems as previously 

indicated. 

The noticeable difference between the two orifices is as follows; the Amana® brand orifice is equipped with a black 

rubber O-Ring located on the end of orifice, while the corporate orifice is equipped with a white Teflon O-Ring 

on the end of orifice. These O-Rings are used for sealing purposes. 

As of August 2004, (Serial Date Code: 0408 and later) orifices provided with the Amana® brand condensers have 

been converted to the corporate style. Distributors will need to order corporate orifices, to be supplied with Amana® 

brand condensing units that were manufactured prior to August 2004 (Serial Date Code: 0408 and prior) when 

being matched with the Corporate Air Handler or Corporate Coils. Below is a list of Amana® brand condensing

SUBJECT: Compressor Return Audit Tag 


NO: CAG-462 

In an effort to improve quality Copeland® Corporation, beginning in May 2004, began inserting an orange 

Compressor Return Audit sticker in all replacement compressor boxes in hopes of better understanding the types 

of reported compressor failures. 

To further reduce compressor failure rates and make our products more reliable, Copeland® needs you to tell 

them everything you know about the failed compressor. Why did the compressor fail? What was it doing prior to 

failure? Was the failure related to a system problem? To help you answer those types of questions the orange 

sticker has multiple questions that need to be checked off (please see sample label below). 

The orange sticker must be completed and applied to the compressor that is being returned in order to receive 

warranty credit. Do not cover the compressor nameplate with the sticker. 

Goodman Manufacturing Company L.P. and Copeland® Corporation would like to thank you for helping us 

improve our products.

The reports we have been receiving are only from regions that experience extremely high outdoor ambient 

conditions exceeding 110° F. 

To immediately address this issue, we are creating a service replacement kit (RF000199). This kit consist of: 

Installation Instructions (RF000200), Red Jumper Wire (Part # 20015879), CCW Condenser Fan Motor (Part # 

B13400-270), CCW Condenser Fan Blade (Part # 10625735), Wiring Diagram (Part # 20504601) for Cooling 

Condensers, and Wiring Diagram (Part #20504701) for Heat Pump Condensers. 

When installing the RF000199 kit, the wiring termination from the condenser fan motor will be slightly offset from 

the entrance of the conduit located on the condenser fan grille. This should not present an installation problem 

when routing the wires to the control panel (Note: Secure the condenser fan motor wires with field supplied wire tie 

to condenser coil to prevent the wires from interfering with condenser fan blade operation). 

To address this issue in manufacturing, we will be changing from the CW Condenser Fan Motor (Part # 10584313) 

to a new CCW Condenser Fan Motor (Part # B13400-272). Along with this motor change, we will also change the 

CW Condenser Fan Blade (Part # 10625707) to the CCW Condenser Fan Blade (Part # 10625735). We expect this 

change to occur September 1, 2004. 

When the B13400-272 motor becomes available the RF000199 kit will be updated to contain this new motor. 


Goodman will pay class “B” in home service rate for repair of unit. Claim form (RF000007) must be completed for 

each installed unit repaired. Project Code 8561 must be referenced in section 6 of the claim form as the special 

authorization number to ensure proper claim processing. Attach the half sheet section of the warranty tag to the 

replaced Condenser Fan Motor and send it along with the original white copy plus copy 1 and 2 (Distributor Copies) 

of the tag to the distributor. The distributor will summarize the warranty tags on a PRF (Parts Return Form). The 

Distributor will file the claim online. 

PART RETURN PROCEDURES: 


Parts must be returned to Goodman Company, Attn: Larry Boyett, Fayetteville TN 37334. The parts must be 

returned with a copy of the (RF000007) claim form in order to receive credit. 

All claims for credit under this program must be submitted online before 12/31/05. All claims must reference 

Project Code 8561.

SUBJECT: PGD48 & 60C***2* Intermittent Starting Problems 

NO: CAG-460 

The ECM Motors used in the PGD48C and PGD60C model package gas/electric units have experienced some 

starting issues and constant run issues. These are two separate issues and are related to the ECM motor 

program. The CONSTANT RUN issue is being addressed first and then the NO START issue. 

CONSTANT RUN 

In mid 1999, the Honeywell Smartvalve system used in Amana ® brand gas/electric package equipment was 

replaced with the United Technologies (UTEC) DSI system. The hardware on the UTEC DSI control is such that 

the “R” line to the thermostat is broken under an open limit condition. With a typical ECM motor, breaking the 

thermostat “R” line will turn the motor off. This sequence of no blower operation was undesirable with an open limit 

condition. Initially we added an additional relay so the ECM motor would run continuously if a safety limit opened. 

The motor program was later changed such that the motor operated at the heat speed anytime the thermostat “R” 

was removed from the motor. The result is that if the “R” line is removed for any reason (even disconnecting the 16pin 

connector), the motor will run. This DOES NOT indicate a faulty ECM Motor. The date this programming 

change was first implemented was February 14, 2000 (serial date code 0002) 

CONSTANT RUN TROUBLESHOOTING 

The calls from the field state that the ECM motor runs constantly even if the sixteen pin is disconnected. This 

scenario fits the end bell programming issue described above under CONSTANT RUN issue if “R” is removed the 

motor is programmed to run in the heating speed. Probable solutions are to find why “R” is missing. The first step 

would be to check and see if any of the limits are open. If none of the limits show open and you have 24VAC at the 

control board terminal where the limits terminate (Pins 4&5) and you verify no 24VAC output on “R” terminal (Pin 9), 

then troubleshooting the main board would be the next step. 

NO START 

It was recently discovered that the heating delay profile programmed into the motor MAY cause a NO START 

condition in the heating mode. This was corrected by changing the pre-run portion of the delay profile from a No 

Run level to a 13% level. With this change, the motor will start and run at 13% of the heating airflow or the 

minimum programmed CFM (whichever is greater) during the ignition sequence. The motor will ramp to full speed 

after approximately 45 seconds after a call for heat is received. If a no-start condition described herein is 

encountered, the issue can be remedied with new replacement End Bell Control Module Service Kit Part # 

20511007. This kit contains an End Bell Control Module with the revised program as previously described. 

NO START TROUBLESHOOTING 

If a NO START or intermittent start condition is observed in the heating mode, End Bell Control Module Service 

Kit Part # 20511007, which is an end bell control module replacement, should remedy the issue.

SUBJECT: Compressor Cross-Reference List 

® 





Page 1 of 6 

NO: CAG-459 

We are pleased to announce a new Amana compressor cross-reference list. This list shows 

the original factory installed compressors and the replacement. Compressors may substitute 

within the same brand, cross over to another brand or both. However, due to piping differences, 

electrical changes and possible footprint differences, it is recommended that like brand for like 

brand be the first option. Using like brand for like brand is less expensive and leaves fewer 

opportunities for installation problems. 

(Example: Equipment with original Bristol compressors may have a Bristol and Copeland replacement 

available. Altering the tubing and electrical connection on Copeland compressors may be required.) 

The list provided gives detailed information on the compressors vendor part number, crankcase 

heater usage, compressor capacity, capacitor size, EER, Voltage and substitutions. Copeland 

compressor model numbers will be used as our new part number. You can place your order 

with the compressor model number listed. 

There will be some compressors that are unavailable and have no current match to any other 

compressor. This means we have not found an approved replacement for those older 

compressors. In some cases, there is not a compressor that fits the base pan mounting holes 

or the newer compressors may be too tall to fit in the unit. 

You will be able to go to our website, http://www.amana-hac.com and access the compressor 

cross-reference material, once it has been updated. In the upper right corner, choose the drop 

down box: 

I would like information about , click on the down arrow and choose distributor or dealer toolbox 

(whichever applies to you). Enter your username and password or go to Account Registration 

to get started. 

After entering your username and password, you will be taken to the Amana Tool Kit menu. 

Under the Product Tools to the left, select Compressor Xref . You will have the option of 

searching by equipment model number or the compressor part number. This reference lookup 

will be updated periodically as changes occur. Current Amana air conditioning models, in 

production, are using Copeland compressors. 

This service communication will be added to future Info-Finder revisions.

Page 1 of 2 

NO: CAG-458 

The following Amana remote units, VCA18B2D, VCA30B2D, VHA24B2A, VHA30B2A, VHA36B2A, 

VHA42B2A, VHA48B2A, VHA60B2A, had a condenser motor and fan blade change in late February 2002. 

The fan motor and fan blade originally turned in a (CW) clockwise direction, looking at the back end (lead 

end) of the motor. 

We later changed, in production, the motor and blade to (CCW) counter clockwise direction. It is possible that 

some may have ordered parts for the original fan motor and blade, but received a replacement part with the 

opposite rotation parts. 

You will see two motors and two blades listed in a future ASAP update. It will show two motors and two fan 

blades and include a special note in regards to the date code (0202) range that these changes took effect. 

We recommend that you verify from the dealer, on models close to this date code, the rotation looking at the 

back end (lead end) of the motor. 

Reminder on the motor: Black wire is (common), Brown wire is (capacitor), Violet wire (high speed leg). 

The following list shows which fan blade and condenser motor should be used based on the date code that 

the change occurred:

SUBJECT: RTG Heat Pump Performance Data Specification Sheet Correction 

NO: CAG-457 

The information provided in the Specification Sheets (Part # 20451339, 40 & 41) Heat Pump Performance Data for 

RTG36,48 and 60C2A models was incorrect concerning the HI and LOW refrigerant pressure specifications. This 

was a simple problem of the information being transposed into the data sheet incorrectly.. The corrections to this 

information have been made and the InfoFinder disk has been updated with the corrected Specification Sheets 

(Part # 20451339, 40 & 41). This correction was made in June 2004 and the newly released InfoFinder disk which 

was recently shipped out will contain these corrected specification sheets. Provided below are the corrected HI and 

LOW refrigerant pressure specifications listed in the Heat Pump Performance Data for RTG36, 48 and 60C2A

SUBJECT: RHE42C2A Condenser Fan Grille Vibration 

NO: CAG-455 

We have received reports that in some applications the RHE42C2A manufactured from March 2003 through April 

2004 (Serial Date Code 0303 to 0404) are experiencing excessive vibration which is being generated from the 

condenser fan grille. This vibration is being transmitted to the condenser unit and is being mistaken for compressor 

vibration, condenser fan motor vibration or condenser fan blade imbalance. 

It must be clarified that not all of the units mentioned above are experiencing this condenser fan grille vibration, and 

that any of the following installation issues may contribute to excessive condenser vibration: 

• Refrigerant lines are strapped tightly to structural members. 

• System is overcharged. 

• Line set is incorrectly sized creating abnormal loads on the compressor. 

• System has long line sets creating abnormal compressor loads. 

• Indoor coil is not properly matched to the outdoor condensing unit. 

• Unit is being operated in extreme conditions. 

WARNING 

To avoid property damage, personal injury or death due to electrical shock, disconnect the electrical power 

supply before servicing this unit. Some models will have two power sources, so be certain to disconnect 

both power sources. This may include the indoor unit as well as the outdoor unit. 

To determine if the condenser fan grille is generating the vibration; disable the power to compressor by removing a 

compressor lead from contactor (NOTE: tape lead off while performing test) and energize only the condenser 

fan motor. If the vibration is still present, then it may be assumed the vibration is being generated from the 

condenser fan grille. 

Once it has been determined the vibration is being generated from the condenser fan grille. A replacement fan grille 

may be ordered from Service Parts Department at 1-888-805-0835. When ordering the replacement fan grille, you 

may use the current part number of the original fan grille (Part # 20440502), which has been be subbed to the 

replacement fan grille (Part # 10589806), or you may order the replacement fan grille using (Part # 10589806). 



Goodman will pay a class “A” in-home service rate to repair RHE42C2A experiencing condenser fan grille vibration 

for units installed with date codes prior to May 2004 (i.e. prior to Serial Date Code: 0405). A warranty claim form 

(RF000007) must be completed for each unit repaired. 

Filing Procedures: 


A claim form (RF000007) must be completed for each installed unit repaired. Service Bulletin CAG-455 must be 

referenced in section 6 of the claim form as the special authorization number to ensure proper claim processing. 

The labor reimbursement copy (yellow copy 2) of the claim is to be mailed to Warranty Administration, 1810 Wilson 

Parkway, Fayetteville, TN 37334.

SUBJECT: Differentiation between the BBC**A2C and previous BBC***A2A Variable Speed Blowers 

What makes the BBC**A2C different from the BBC**A2A model? The BBC**A2C is designed for single-stage 

or two-stage cooling or heat pump applications and uses a different control board (Part # 11074206). The 

BBC**A2A model is designed for single-stage cooling or single-stage heat pump applications and uses control 

board (Part # 11074204). There was a programming change to the ECM motor for Low and High Stage Cooling 

air flows on the BBC**A2C model. The settings on the BBC**A2C interface board below must be followed as 

indicated below: 

Pin Selector (BBC**A2C) on ECM Speed Tap Board with option for Tonnage, Table 1, or Table 

2 , Pin Selector must remain on Tonnage tap.

SPEED TAP SELECTION 

Changing the position of the jumpers on the six-pin headers labeled TONNAGE and TABLE 2 makes speed tap 

selection. Each position of the jumpers (A, B, C, or D) gives a different airflow, and the jumpers for TONNAGE 

and TABLE 2 should always be set to the same letter setting. The possible jumper positions on the headers are 

shown in Figures 2 and 3 below.

The other change in the BBC**A2C is the white #2 wire coming from the 16-pin ECM Motor wiring harness. 

This wire is connected to the 16-pin connector on one end, and has a stripped wire lead on the other end. 

The 16-pin connector that contains the #2 connection MUST be connected to the end bell of the ECM 

motor. The stripped wire lead MUST be connected to the Y terminal of the control board (as shipped 

from the factory) for single-speed applications. For two-speed applications, the #2 wire MUST be removed 

from the Y terminal of the control board, and wired to the Y2 low voltage connections from the 

thermostat and outdoor unit. If this is not done, the motor will operate at first stage cooling airflow 

(approx. 70% of nominal airflow) while the compressor operates in second stage cooling, which could 

cause evaporator coil freezing and/or compressor reliability issues. Refer to the following diagrams for 

low voltage wiring for two-stage applications.

Thermostat Wiring Schematics below, show how the two stage cooling 

(Y2) for the remote unit is to be wired.

SUBJECT: High Pressure Switch Nuisance Tripping 

NO: CAG-452 Rev.1 

SUPERCEDES CAG-452 

As an alternative to the line tapper valve originally released we have created a service kit RF000191 that relocates 

the high pressure switch to the liquid line service valve thus eliminating the need to do any brazing. This kit consists 

of the following Items: Installation Instructions, Refrigeration “T”, Auto Reset High Pressure Switch, Wire Nut, 

Washer-Teflon and Dill-Valve. 

On units experiencing nuisance high-pressure cutout switch tripping, the RF000191 may be installed without 

performing a sealed system repair. Labor for installing the RF000191 Pressure Switch Kit will be paid At a Class “A” 

labor rate. 

Original Letter 

We have received reports that in some instances units equipped with manual high-pressure cutout switches located 

in the discharge line have experienced nuisance tripping. On units experiencing this nuisance high-pressure cutout 

switch tripping, it will be necessary to install a new automatic reset high-pressure cutout switch in the liquid line. 

The repair consists of adding a braze-on style line tapper valve and installation of an automatic reset high-pressure 

switch, Part # C6453407. These line tapper valves are equipped with a Schrader valve core. Using this type of line 

tapper valve eliminates the need to perform a sealed system repair when moving the high-pressure cutout switch 

from the discharge line to the condenser liquid line. The automatic reset high-pressure cutout switch may be 

obtained from the Service Parts Department. The braze-on pressure tapper valve must be purchased locally. 

Currently we are in the process of creating a service kit for this repair, and once the kit is available we will issue an 

update to this Service Bulletin. 

In December 2003 we moved the high-pressure cutout switch from the compressor discharge line to the condenser 

liquid line to prevent the nuisance tripping (Serial Date code: 0312 and later). 

Installation Procedure for Liquid Line Pressure Tapper Valve and Automatic Reset High-Pressure Switch: 

WARNING 

To avoid death, personal injury or property damage due to electrical shock turn off the unit and disconnect 

the electrical power supply before servicing this unit. 

1. After de-energizing the remote condenser and indoor air handler, remove electrical service panel cover of 

the condenser and remove the screws from the electrical panel in order to swing it open. Next, remove 

the bottom service valve access panel. Doing this will provide adequate access to the liquid line for 

installation of the line tapper valve and the new high-pressure cutout switch. 

WARNING 


High temperature brazing on charged liquid lines must be avoided to prevent burning through 

the liquid line and releasing high-pressure refrigerant. 

® 





CAG-452 Rev.1 

2. Position the line tapper valve between the Liquid Service valve and the Condenser manifold. Once the 

line tapper valve has been brazed in place (Note: Refer to Installation instructions on Page 2.) and the 

automatic reset high-pressure cutout switch (Part #C6453407) is installed, check the area for refrigerant 

leaks using an electronic leak detector or a liquid leak detector product. 

3. Locate the factory installed Manual Reset High Pressure Cut-Out switch (Note: It will be located on the 

compressor discharge line.). Cut the two wire leads connected to manual reset high-pressure switch and 

then strip approximately ½” of insulation from the end of the wires feeding back to the control panel. Wire 

nut the two wire leads from Automatic Reset High-Pressure Cutout Switch previously installed (Note: it 

may be necessary to cut additional wire length from Automatic Reset High-Pressure Cutout Switch 

leads.) to the wire leads that were previously cut and stripped at the manual reset high-pressure cutout 

switch. 

4. Replace the panels previously removed and then restore power to both the remote condenser and indoor 

air handler. Verify that the system is functioning in all modes of operation. 



Goodman will pay a class “B” in-home service rate to repair remote condensers experiencing nuisance highpressure 

switch tripping for units installed with date codes prior to December 2003 (i.e. prior to Serial Date Code: 

0312), and an additional $5.00 will be paid per claim to cover cost of braze-on pressure tapper valve purchased 

locally. A warranty claim form (RF000007) must be completed for each unit repaired. If the repair is completed 

using the RF000191 Pressure Switch Kit labor will be paid at a Class “A” labor rate. 


A claim form (RF000007) must be completed for each installed unit repaired. Service Bulletin CAG-452 must be 

referenced in section 6 of the claim form as the special authorization number to ensure proper claim processing. 



The following pictures are of a 3/8” COPPER BRAZE/TAPPER Valve manufactured by J/B Industries (Part 

#A32906). There are several manufactures of braze-on service tapper valves similar to this one that could be used 

for this correction. Also provided are instructions for providing a leak proof seal when installing the Tapper Valves. 

Instructions for a Leak-Proof Seal 

1. Remove the body from copper saddle. 

2. Clean tubing thoroughly and place the copper saddle over tube and pinch 

the ends of saddle with pliers to lock in place. 

3. Heat and braze with phos-copper alloy and allow to cool. 

4. Apply a small amount of thread sealant to the threads of the piercing quill. 

5. Place a backup wrench on the saddle and screw in access piercing quill. 

Continue until you feel the line pierced and the seats contact each other. 

Continue to tighten 1/16 and 1/8 more turn. 

Note: Hexes will have a slight gap between them and should not meet. Do 

not over tighten. 

6. Valve core is pre-torqued. Replace cap after servicing work is complete.




SUBJECT: Electric Heater Relay Part #11091701 

® 





Page 1 of 2 

NO: CAG-451 

We have received negative reports concerning the relay (part #11091701) installed in air-handler electric heater 

kits. To address this issue we have returned several failed relays to the vendor for special test analysis. 

After extensive research the vendor has determined there were trace amounts of Chlorine and Bromine corrosion 

located deep in the coil winding, thus causing the winding to open. Effective December 1, 2003 the vendor changed 

bobbin material to increase durability, and address the corrosion issue. 

All product containing relay (Part # 11091701) currently at our Fayetteville warehouse has been placed on hold until 

the relays can be replaced with the updated version of the relay. The new relay part number is 22307801. 

It is our desire to have only the latest electric heater relays available as service replacement parts. Therefore, we 

are requesting that any remaining service parts inventory of the 11091701 heater relays be returned for credit. Any 

remaining inventory/stock heater kits with the 11091701 heater relay(s) should have the heater relay(s) replaced 

prior to installation. 


A claim form (RF000007) must be completed for each installed unit inspected and repaired. Project Code 9560 

must be referenced in section 6 of the claim form as the special authorization number to ensure proper claim 

processing. 

All units inspected and repaired that are not installed may be submitted using a single warranty claim form. List all 

model and serial numbers serviced in section 7 (parts), or if necessary use an attached sheet. Please ensure all 

information is clearly legible. Project Code 9560 must be referenced in Section 6 of the claim form as the special 

authorization number. Distributors submitting warranty clams for units from their inventory are to attach the labor 

reimbursement copy (yellow copy 2) of the claim to a PRF (Parts Return Form). 




Goodman will pay $20.00 per unit for inspection and repair of remote electric heater kits located in 

Distributor/Dealer Inventory. 



Goodman will pay class “A” in home service rate to repair failed heater relays for units installed prior to June 1, 

2004. All units installed after June 1, 2004 should have been inspected and repaired prior to installation. A warranty 

claim form (RF000007) must be completed for each unit inspected and repaired.

PART RETURN PROCEDURES: 

® 





Page 2 of 2 

CAG-451 

The following procedure must be followed in order to return and receive credit for relays removed from your 

inventory and/or relays removed from electric heater kits. An RMA (Return Material Authorization) must be obtained 

by contacting Paula Hargrove via email paula.hargrove@goodmanmfg.com or fax (713) 863-2360. The request 

must include the distributor/dealer name, address where the relays are physically located, quantities of relays to be 

returned, along with the name and phone number of contact person at the location. 

After the RMA is received, the parts must be returned to Goodman Company, Attn: Larry Boyett, Fayetteville TN 

37334. The parts must be returned with a copy of the (RF000007) claim form in order to receive credit.




SUBJECT: BBC**A2C Incorrect Wiring 


NO: CAG-450 

There have been field reports that some of the BBC**A2C model air handlers may be wired incorrectly. The serial 

number range affected is October 2003 – March 2004 (date code: 0310 – 0403). All product currently at the 

Amana warehouse will be inspected to ensure it is properly wired prior to being released for shipment. Units that 

have been inspected at our warehouse will have a blue color dot located on the exterior of the box. 

It will be necessary to inspect all product shipped from Fayetteville prior to March 25, 2004 to determine if the 16pin 

variable speed motor connector has been installed improperly. Caution: First disconnect all power to the air 

handler before performing the inspection. Once the power has been disconnected locate the white #2 wire from 

the 16-pin ECM Motor wiring harness; this wire must be connected to the “Y” terminal of the control board. There 

have been reports of this wire being improperly connected to the “O” terminal. If the white #2 wire is connected to 

the “O” terminal on the control board it must be relocated to the “Y” terminal. 

Next determine which 16 pin connector the white #2 is connected to. If the harness is correctly installed, the white 

#2 wire will terminate at the ECM Motor connector. If the white #2 wire terminates at the control board, then 

disconnect the 16-pin connector at each end, and rotate the harness 180° so that the white #2 wire terminates at 

the ECM Motor. 

If the BBC**A2C was wired improperly, as described above, the variable speed motor end bell will not receive a 24 

volt signal from the thermostat to allow the motor to operate at nominal CFM. The motor end bell must receive a 24 

volt signal from “Y”, “Y2” (white W2) for nominal airflow. If the programmable end bell receives only the “Y” signal, 

the motor will operate at 1 st stage cooling airflow (67% of nominal airflow), which could possibly cause evaporator 

coil freezing. 

While reviewing the current issue it was discovered that there are discrepancies between the ladder-wiring 

diagram, and the wiring schematic located in the blower compartment (refer to fig.1). The ladder-wiring diagram 

illustrates the white #2 wire going from “Y” terminal to Interface Control Board; this is incorrect. The wiring 

schematic illustrates the white #2 wire going from MIB to “Y” this is correct. During inspection process please use a 

white correction fluid, and make appropriate corrections (refer to fig.2).

TO: All Dealers & Parts Managers DATE: December 19, 2003 

SUBJECT: Revised Company Warranty Claim Form Process 

® 

Is a trademark of Maytag Worldwide N.V. and is used under license to Goodman Company, L.P. 




NO: CAG-449 

As part of Goodman’s commitment to improve the warranty claim process, we have consolidated the warranty claim 

forms for the Goodman and Amana brands. The new warranty claim form has been restructured to incorporated 

features of both current claim forms into one universal form to be used by all of customers regardless of the brand 

of equipment repaired. 

The new form has been modified to include more detailed information that is required for claim processing and 

warranty reporting. In addition to conforming with our “One Company, Two Brand” theme, the new claim form will 

provide more detailed information that will allow Goodman Warranty Departments to address field issues and 

process claims faster and more efficiently with fewer rejected claims. The new form includes changes such as 

requiring the outdoor unit information for claims on indoor coils and blowers. This information is essential since the 

warranties for these serialized units are dependant on the matching outdoor unit. This will reduce the number of 

rejected claims requesting outdoor unit information. The new form also requires failure/ component cause coding 

that will enable Goodman to respond faster and provide more accurate information to the field on service issues. 

The process for filing Amana warranty claims has not changed. Dealer responsibilities remain the same as outlined 

in previous manuals. Dealers are responsible for completing the in-warranty or extended service contract service 

call. Once the service is complete, the warranty claim form is to be completed (form RF000007 Rev. 1.) in its 

entirely. Copy 5 (last copy) of the warranty claim form is to be attached to the defective part(s). Defective part(s), 

with copy 5 attached are to be returned to the distributor from whom the replacement parts were purchased. When 

the parts are covered by the factory warranty, copy 1 of the warranty claim is also returned to the part source for 

processing. When the unit repaired has an extended service contract or is covered by a full factory warranty, the 

labor copy of the claim form (copy 2) is to be forwarded directly to Goodman for payment to be issued to the dealer. 

If the part replaced is out of factory warranty but covered by an extended service contract, the part reimbursement 

copy (copy 1) together with the labor copy (copy 2) of the warranty claim form are to be forwarded directly to 

Goodman to be paid to the dealer per the extended service contract. 

As with the previous warranty claim form, it is imperative that all sections of the claim form are complete. This will 

provide the information necessary to process the warranty claim and minimize claim rejection or delay in 

processing. Procedures for completing the warranty claim form have been outlined. 

1. Warranty type check boxes -- At the top of the claim form, there are four boxes that identify the type of warranty 

claim being filed. It is mandatory that one of these boxes be checked so the claim can be processed correctly. 

If requesting part warranty and labor (extended warranty, full factory warranty, or special labor concession), the 

appropriate box for each must be checked. The box descriptions are as follows: 

a. Product Warranty – this refers to any item (part or labor) covered under the terms of the standard product 

warranty as stated in the warranty certificate shipped with the product. Labor is included only on specific 

models. 

b. Extended Warranty – if the product is covered by a Goodman extended service policy (Asure or Goodcare), 

check this box and enter the contract number and expiration date in section 10.

CAG-449 

c. Part Warranty – replacement parts purchased by the customer for product no longer covered by the 

standard product warranty are covered by a 1-year replacement part warranty. Check this box if the 

replacement part is within the 1-year part warranty. Customer’s proof of purchase must be attached 

to the warranty claim. 

d. Special Labor Allowance – check this box for any labor request that does not fall under the full 

product warranty or extended service contract as described above. This includes DOA, concessions, 

and special programs offered via Service Bulletins. Special labor allowances must be approved prior 

to service being performed. 

2. Section 1 of the claim form provides the unit install date and the date the service was performed. All of 

this information is required to process your warranty claim. 

3. Section 2 contains information necessary for processing the claim. In addition to providing space for the 

model/serial number of the failed unit, fields have been added to include the model/serial number of the 

outdoor unit when servicing an indoor coil or blower cabinet (This applies to HAC equipment ONLY). 

This is necessary as some coil warranties are dependent upon the outdoor unit match. If this information 

is left blank, the claim will be rejected. 

4. Section 3 must list the complete name and address of the service contractor performing the repair. The 

appropriate servicer’s account number must be provided as the contractor number. This information 

must be listed as it appears on the Authorized Service Agreement. 

5. Section 4 contains registration information. Before a warranty claim can be processed, the registration 

information must be validated in the warranty system. Omitting this information will result in rejection of 

the warranty claim. Complete homeowner or property name, street address and city, state, and zip code 

are mandatory. The phone number is optional. 

6. Section 5 identifies the part source of the dealer performing the warranty repair. If parts are purchased 

directly from Goodman, the invoice number must be provided as proof of purchase. 

7. Section 6 for Project Code/Special Authorization numbers has been expanded to include Component 

Cause Coding. If the repair is covered under a Project Code, list the code number in the space provided. 

Special projects and project codes are provided via service bulletins. In some cases a special 

authorization may be provided by the factory authorizing repairs outside of the standard warranty. If 

provided with a special authorization, it is important to list this authorization number in the space 

provided. This concession number allows warranty administration to identify the claim and provides the 

necessary information to properly process the claim preventing unnecessary delays in claim processing. 

Component/Cause Coding must be completed in order for the claim to be processed. Using the claimcoding 

table on the reverse side of Copies 1-4 of the claim form, select the code that best describes the 

root cause of the repair. Enter the two – two character codes in the appropriate fields. This field is 

mandatory. Warranty claims will not be processed without the appropriate coding on the claim. 

8. Section 7 itemizes the failed part and replacement part information. If the failed part and the replacement 

part are the same part numbers, enter the part number in the replacement part field and enter “same” in 

the failed part field. Including both failed part and replacement part will allow Goodman to track failures 

to specific parts. This section also includes a place to record the old and new compressor or motor serial 

numbers. When filing a claim for the exchange for equipment authorized by the factory, these same 

serial number fields are to be used to record the serial number of the scrapped equipment and the serial 

number of the replacement equipment. A refrigerant drier must be replaced and the part number listed 

on all sealed system claims where the system is opened to the atmosphere or refrigerant system parts 

are replaced. Failure to replace the filter drier will result in rejection of any applicable labor 

reimbursement. 

9. Section 8 provides for a detailed explanation of the Reason for Failure to be recorded. 

10. Section 9 has been changed to record a detailed explanation of the service performed on the unit. 

Page 2 of 3

11. Section 10 has been changed to include both the contract number and expiration date of 

the extended service contract if the product is covered by an Asure or Goodcare extended 

service policy. 

12. Section 11 lists the part source and invoice number from which the parts were purchased. 

Customers who file part claims directly with the factory are required to provide a copy of the part invoice as 

proof of purchase (not required for distributors). 

13. Section 12 is to be used by authorized persons to approve DOA labor or a special labor 

allowance not covered by a full factory warranty or extended service contract. Some products with full 

warranties provide for a cartage allowance and/or mileage. If applicable, the dealer is to enter the cartage 

allowance and/or mileage in the space provided. 

14. Section 13 provides a space for branch, regional service managers, or factory personnel to 

include special instructions for processing claims outside the standard warranty policy. This section is for 

Goodman personnel use ONLY. 

15. Sections 14 & 15 are provided for signatures of the service technician and the part source 

verifying that information contained on the claim form is correct to the best of their 

knowledge. 

16. The distribution has changed slightly. Copy 1 (white copy) is now the part reimbursement 

copy and Copy 2 (yellow copy) is now the labor copy of the claim form. Please refer to the 

instructions on the bottom of the claim form for reference. 

Page 3 of 3 

CAG-449 

Servicers purchasing parts through a distributor will continue to obtain claim forms through their part source. 

Customers purchasing parts directly from Goodman will continue to order the new warranty claim form through the 

Parts Department. The part number for the new form is RF000007 Rev. 1. 

Goodman will continue to accept the current claim forms for repairs performed on or before December 31 st , 2003. 

Repairs performed January 1 st , 2004 or later must be filed on the new warranty claim for. 

Please call the appropriate Warranty Administration Department with any questions regarding the new form.




SUBJECT: Long Line Set Application 

® 





NO: CAG-448 

This long line set application guideline applies to all ARI listed Amana air conditioner and heat pump split system 

matches of nominal capacity 18,000 to 60,000 Btuh. This guideline will cover installation requirements and 

additional accessories needed for split system installations where the line set exceeds 50 ft in actual length. 

This guideline does not apply to any system match for which the outdoor unit has a 2-speed compressor. 


1. Crankcase heater- a long line set application can critically increase the charge level needed for a system. 

As a result, the system is very prone to refrigerant migration during its off-cycle and a crankcase heater will 

help minimize this risk. A crankcase heater is recommended for any long line application (50 watt 

minimum). 

2. Hard start assist- increased charge level in long line applications can require extra work from the 


3. Accumulator- for any Amana heat pump not equipped with an accumulator, refer to that model’s service 

manual regarding installation of an accumulator. 

Tubing sizing: 


1. In long line applications, the “equivalent line length” is the sum of the straight length portions of the suction 

line plus losses (in equivalent length) from 45 and 90 degree bends. Select the proper suction tube size 

based on equivalent length of the suction line (see Tables 1 & 2 below) and recalculated system 

capacity. 


2. For any residential split system installed with a long line set, the liquid line size must never exceed 

3/8”. Limiting the liquid line size to 3/8” is critical since an increased refrigerant charge level from having a 

larger liquid line could possibly shorten a compressor’s lifespan. 

• 50 feet is the maximum recommended vertical difference between the condenser and evaporator when the 

evaporator is above the condenser. Equivalent length is not to exceed 150 feet. 

• The vertical difference between the condenser and evaporator when the evaporator is below the condenser 

can approach 150 feet, as long as the equivalent length does not exceed 150 feet. 

• The distance between the condenser and evaporator in a completely horizontal installation in which the 

indoor and outdoor unit do not differ more than 10 ft in vertical distance from each other can approach 150 

feet, as long as the equivalent length does not exceed 150 feet.

Page 2 of 4 

CAG-448 

Most refrigerant tubing kits are supplied with 3/8”-thick insulation on the vapor line. For long line installations over 

50 ft, especially if the line set passes through a high ambient temperature, ½”-thick suction line insulation is 

recommended to reduce loss of capacity. The liquid line should be insulated if passing through an area of 120°F or 

greater. Do not attach the liquid line to any non-insulated portion of the suction line. 

3. Vibration and noise: In long line applications, refrigerant tubing is highly prone to transmit noise and 

vibration to the structure it is fastened to. Use adequate vibration-isolating hardware when mounting line 

set to adjacent structure. 

Table 1 below lists multiplier values to recalculate system-cooling capacity as a function of a system’s equivalent 

line length (as calculated from the suction line) and the selected suction tube size. Table 2 lists the equivalent 

length gained from adding bends to the suction line. Properly size the suction line to minimize capacity loss.

1. In a completely horizontal installation with a long line set where the evaporator is at the same altitude as (or 

slightly below) the condenser, the line set should be sloped towards the evaporator. This helps reduce 

refrigerant migration to the condenser during a system’s off-cycle. 

2. For a system installation where the evaporator is above the condenser, an inverted vapor line trap should 

be installed on the suction line just before the inlet to the evaporator (see Fig 1). The top of the inverted 

loop must be slightly above the top of the evaporator coil and can be created simply by brazing two 90° 

long radius elbows together, if a bending tool is unavailable. Properly support and secure the inverted loop 

to the nearest point on the indoor unit or adjacent structure. 


3. Oil traps (required only if the condenser is above the evaporator): Depending on the vertical rise of the 

line set, oil traps are required in the suction line. Oil traps should be installed at equal intervals along the 

suction line. Install 1 oil trap for a height difference of 15–25 feet between indoor and outdoor units. 

Install 2 oil traps for a difference of 26-50 ft, 3 for 51-100 ft, and 4 for 101-150 ft. Preformed oil traps 

are available at most HVAC supply houses, or oil traps may be created by brazing tubing elbows together 

(see diagram below). Remember to add the equivalent length from oil traps to the equivalent length 

calculation of the suction line. For example, if you construct an oil trap using two 45° elbows, one short and 

one long 90° elbow in a ¾” diameter suction line, the additional equivalent length would be 

0.7+0.7+1.7+1.5, which equals 4.6 feet (refer to table 2).

4. Piston size adjustment: Refer to the chart below to adjust the piston size for the indoor and outdoor units, 

based on the height difference between the two. Take the original piston size installed in the indoor and 

outdoor unit and add or subtract using the information from Chart 3 to determine the new piston size.

5. Low voltage wiring: Verify low voltage wiring size is adequate for the length used since it will be increased 

in a long line application. 

System charging 

Goodman/Amana condensers are factory charged for 15 ft of line set. To calculate the amount of extra refrigerant 

(in ounces) needed for a line set over 15 feet, multiply the additional length of line set by 0.6 ounces. Note for the 

formula below, the linear feet of line set is the actual length of liquid line (or suction line, since both should be 

equal) used, not the equivalent length calculated for the suction line. 



Remember, for condensers with a liquid valve connection less than 3/8” diameter, 3/8” liquid tubing is required for a 

line set longer than 25 feet. 

Follow the charging procedures in the outdoor unit I/O manual to ensure proper superheat and sub-cooling levels, 

especially on a system with a TXV installed in the indoor unit. Heat pumps should be checked in both heating and 

cooling mode for proper charge level. This guideline is meant to provide installation instructions based on most 

common long line set applications. It may be necessary to readjust piston sizes after initial system operation if 

proper superheat and sub-cooling levels are not achieved (low or no superheat will cause early compressor failure). 

Keep in mind that installation variables may affect system operation. 

NO ADDITIONAL COMPRESSOR OIL IS NEEDED FOR LONG LINE APPLICATIONS ON RESIDENTIAL





SUBJECT: Warranty Procedure Changes for Project 8554 

® 



NO: CAG - 447 

We are announcing a change in warranty claims filing for fin deterioration on pre-painted condenser 

coils (Project 8554). 

As of September 11, 2003 there will be no need to: 

• Fax a “submittal” form for confirmation before replacing condenser coil. 

• Wait 72 hours before replacing coil. 

• Take pictures of deteriorated coil. 

• Retain coil for 45 days after confirmation (coils may be scrapped immediately). 

All other aspects of this program will remain unchanged. As referenced in service letters CAG-429 and 

CAG-441 Amana will continue to provide the Class D labor rate as specified in these bulletins. 

Warranty filing procedures will remain the same. The dealer must complete a warranty tag 

(RF000007). Send the original white copy plus copy 1 and 2 (Distributor copies) of the tag to the 

distributor. The distributor will summarize the warranty tags on a PRF (Part Return Form). The 

Distributor will attach the original white copy of the tag and copy 1 (Distributor copy) of the warranty tag 

to the original white copy of the PRF and send to Warranty Administration, Amana, Fayetteville, TN. 

Upon receipt of proper documentation by Warranty Administration in Fayetteville, TN part credit will be 

issued to the distributor and labor credit directly to the servicer. In the event the dealer is not set up as 

an authorized servicer, labor will be issued to the distributor (at the distributors rate) to pass along to 

the dealer. 

All claims for labor assistance in conjunction with service replacement condenser coils under this 

program must reference Project 8554 and be submitted to Warranty Administration, Fayetteville, TN 

for processing within 5 years from date of installation.




SUBJECT: DFTD-1 Defrost Time Delay kit 


® 



NO: CAG - 446 

We are announcing the release of DFTD-1 (Defrost Time Delay Kit), which is available through the 

service parts department. This kit was designed to help eliminate the change over noise generated in 

scroll compressors during defrost initiation, and defrost termination. 

The DFTD-1 (Defrost Time Delay Kit) is to be used only on scroll bearing heat pump units. The DFTD- 

1 kit is not intended for use on reciprocating compressor applications. The addition of the DFTD-1 will 

provide compressor shutdown of 20 seconds prior to defrost initiation, and compressor shutdown of 10 

seconds prior to defrost termination. 

Along with the release of DFTD-1 (Defrost Time Delay Kit), engineering has implemented other 

changes to the RHA36C2A and the RHF42C2A to eliminate the change over noise being generated in 

the scroll compressor during defrost initiation and termination. 

RHA36C2A - An orifice change was implemented. The outdoor orifice was changed from a .053 was to 

a .055 (Aeroquip Part# B1443824 – Chatleff Part# 11076302) size orifice. The date code for this 

change was August 2003 (serial date code 0308). 

RHF42C2A – The production refrigerant charge amount was adjusted by 100 ounces. The previous 

refrigerant charge was 270.0 ounces, and it was increased to 370.0 ounces. This increase in charge is 

intended to increase the subcooling, this will help eliminate the scroll change over noise during defrost 

cycle. Date code for the product charge adjustment is (0308). Upon initial installation of the unit, a final 

charge adjustment may be needed to insure that a 15° subcooling is obtained at the liquid service 

valve while operating in the cooling mode.





SUBJECT: Formicary Corrosion in Evaporator Coils 

® 



NO: CAG - 445 

You may be familiar with the term “formicary corrosion” a.k.a. “ants’ nest corrosion”, which is a type of corrosion 

known to attack the copper tubing in evaporator coils. In the last 15+ years, many materials scientists have 

studied this phenomenon in Europe, Japan, and the United States. Although formicary corrosion is laboratory 

reproducible, many mysteries about it, including question about its random nature, still exist. 

Unlike typical copper corrosion that generates radially from a central starting point, formicary corrosion starts on 

the outside of a tube and “burrows” inward, by generating a succession of connected micro pits. Outwardly 

formicary corrosion can be very difficult to detect, partially due to the minute size of the average breach, but 

typically it appear as a dark spot on the copper surface. 

Scientists know that three ingredients are required to promote this activity: 

• Water 

• Oxygen 

• A corroding agent (decomposed organic acids) 

Although the lack of any of the above agents will prevent the formation of this corrosion, the presence of these 

agents does not guarantee that corrosion will occur. Hence the random and infrequent cases that puzzle 

researchers. Typically, formicary corrosion is not present in the raw tube form used in our production process, 

and it is detected after approximately two years of unit operation. The replacement of the evaporator coil is the 

approved (recommended) action when this corrosion is suspected. 

In concert with our “War On Leaks” mandate, we are eagerly pursuing a solution that insures our coils are 

immune to this problem. We are working with our materials suppliers, corrosion scientists, and the leading 

laboratories toward this goal. Included in this analysis is the examination of lubricating oils used in the aluminum 

fin production process to confirm the absence of organic acids. 

Many articles on this subject are readily available via the Internet. Some of them are highly technical and 

intended for material scientist. Listed below are a few we have discovered that present a less technical but still indepth 

review of formicary corrosion.

SUBJECT: Improved Coil Corrosion Protection for Pre-Painted Condenser Coils 

NO: CAG - 444 

In an effort to significantly improve pre-painted coil protection, we are announcing a new material 

process for our pre-painted condenser coils. 

We have added a Trivalent Chrome Conversion coating to the aluminum fin stock prior to application of 

the decorative black coating. The Trivalent Chrome Conversion coating will significantly improve coil 

longevity. Trivalent Chrome Conversion coating will increase salt spray performance from 500 hours to 

2000 hours, which is a significant improvement over our current condenser coil process. 

We anticipate introducing the Trivalent Chrome Conversion coating process into manufacturing the 

week of July 14, 2003. The appearance of the condenser coils will not change with this new process.

SUPERSEDES: CAG-443 

SUBJECT: “R**C2A” Series Remote Condenser with Back Seating Service Valves 

We have received reports that back seating service valves may be leaking when the refrigerant lines 

are being brazed into them. We believe that in many of these cases the instructions provided below 

were not being followed prior to connecting the refrigerant lines. Please ensure that your installers 

have been provided with a copy of this bulletin and are familiar with the proper tools and techniques for 

opening and closing these back seating service valves. 

To prevent these types of refrigerant leaks, it is important that the instructions listed below be followed 

on each and every installation. We recommend the servicer check to ensure the valve is closed to the 

proper torque in all installations using the back seating service valve, prior to brazing in the lineset. 

We have also received complaints of back seating service valves being difficult to open and in some 

cases the valve stem has been stripped. In researching this issue, we have torqued the back seating 

service valves to the specified value and also to much higher values and tested both conditions before 

and after applying heat. 

We have found as long as the proper sized tool is used and the valve is not over-tightened (higher than 

specified in the following information on Page 2), we have had little difficultly in opening these types of 

service valves. Please ensure that the tool being used has a snug fit on the valve stem, (Note: Do not 

use any badly worn wrenches as this will ultimately result in damage to the valve stem). Also note that 

many service valve wrenches are sized differently depending on which side of the wrench faces up. 

Ensure that the proper size is being used at all times when opening these back seating service valves 

to prevent damage to the valve stem. 

Original Letter 

There have been field reports of the back seating service valves on “R**C2A” series remote 

condensers (RCB, RCC, RCE, RHA, RHE, RHF & RSG) releasing charge (refrigerant leak) from the 

vapor (suction line) service valve after heat has been applied during the brazing process for installing 

the line set. 

We have evaluated this issue and have determined that the manufacturing torque procedure and 

specification should be revised. Manufacturing had been using a “running torque” process, but has 

changed to a “dead torque” process, along with increasing the torque specification. 

The product affected is all “R**C2A” series remote condensers (serial date code range of 0305 to 

0306) which are equipped with back seating service valves.

® 



Page 2 of 3 

CAG-443 rev.1 

To reduce the potential of charge being released from the service valve during brazing of the line set, 

the service valve must be torqued to 26 ft/lbs. This procedure must be done before beginning the line 

set brazing process. The vapor line set needs to be brazed to the condenser before the liquid line set. 

This will help prevent the pressure from building up in the line set if the vapor service valve should 

happen to leak. 

NOTE: The service valve body must be quenched by using a wet rag, or use of a thermal heat trap 

compound. 

Additional Information: Operating Instructions for Back Seating Service Valve 

Amana “R” series remote condensers are equipped with backseat valves. The unit is shipped with the 

valve front seated (downward position) to contain the factory charge in the unit. Like standard sweat 

valves, the line set tubing can be brazed to the field connections of the valve and be accessed by the 

gauge ports. Unlike standard valves, the backseat valve has the following unique features and 

requirements: 

� The stem cap is installed finger-tight and does not require torque for sealing the stem. 

� The stem is sealed primarily by fully backseating and torquing valve stems per the chart 

below. 

� Tubing Size Torque (Foot-Pounds) 

3/8 9.0 

3/4, 7/8 23.5 

� The stems have a 5/16” square head on the vapor valve and 1/4” on the liquid valve. 

� The stem has a packing seal instead of an O-ring. The packing nut can be tightened if 

necessary to prevent leakage during servicing. The torque value for the packing nut is 7.5 ftlbs. 

Do not over tighten. 

� Gauge hoses can be connected and disconnected without the presence of system pressure. 

The gauge port is isolated from the system if the stem is backseated. 

� The gauge ports have a standard core valve, which can be removed and replaced while the 

stem is backseated. 

� The gauge ports have a standard hose connection size 

. 

Ensure the valve is in the open position before starting the refrigeration system. Always re-install and 

tighten stem and gauge port caps to prevent contamination of seals and refrigerant permeation. 

Overtorquing the actuation stem or the packing nut can cause distortion and possible damage to the 

valve, resulting in refrigerant leakage and possible personal injury. Any attempt to replace valve stem 

seals (packing or O-ring) voids the warranty. If a valve stem seal fails, the valve must be replaced. 

Back seating service valves are back seated by turning the actuation stem in the counter-clockwise 

direction. Parker recommends using a Ratchet with a 4-point socket or crescent wrench when 

tightening or loosening the actuation stem. When using a crescent wrench, the wrench must be 

square and have full engagement on the flats of the stem. When back seated, refrigerant flows from 

the valve’s upper to lower body ports. In the back seat position, the valve’s standard gauge port is 

closed to both the upper and lower body ports.

® 



Page 3 of 3 

CAG-443 rev.1 

The standard charge port in the front seat position is open to the upper port and closed to the lower 

port. The charge port is open to both the upper and lower ports when the actuation stem is in the midseat 

position. When the actuation stem is in the mid-seat position the packing or o-ring stem seals are 

the primary valve seals. 

CAUTION: Do not operate system for an extended period of time with the actuation stem in the midseat 

position. This may result in refrigerant loss and system damage. The valve is intended for use in 

the back-seated position during system operation. 

After service is complete, re-install the RB7 Series actuation stem cap. The RB7 Series plastic 

actuation stem cap is installed by turning the cap in the clockwise direction until “hand tight.”

SUBJECT: RHA36A2* and RHF42A2* Heat Pump Change Over Noise 

NO: CAG - 442 

There have been field reports of RHA36A2*, and RHF42A2* heat pumps with excessive noise being 

generated by the scroll compressor while the system is going “into” or “out of” defrost. 

Amana has evaluated this issue and has defined a process to minimize the change over noise. 

To reduce change over noise for RHA36A2* units installed with a CCA42FCC and a BBA36; there 

must be a change in the outdoor orifice from a .053 to a .055 (Aeroquip pt# B1443824 – Chatleff pt# 

11076302). The charge will remain the same as the data plate rating. Our engineering test results 

indicate that the noise issue is virtually eliminated after making these changes. 

To reduce change over noise for RHF42A2* units, there must be a change in the total charge amount. 

Test results have determined that increasing the charge level to obtain a 15° subcooling will provide 

significant noise reduction during defrost change over. To change the total charge amount, refrigerant 

must be added while the unit is in cooling mode. 

Along with these system changes, we are also creating specifications for a timer that may be added to 

the defrost system. This timer will shut the compressor off for approximately 20 seconds when the 

system is going into a defrost cycle, and 5 seconds when the unit is coming out of defrost. This would 

help eliminate the scroll noise that is occurring while a system’s operating pressure is rapidly changing 

during defrost. 

When the specifications are determined for a timer engineering will release them. Once that is complete 

the timer will be available through service parts, and an updated service bulletin will be released 

announcing the service part number.

This communication is in conjunction with 

CAG-429 Rev 1. 

Goodman/Amana regretfully announces that we are discontinuing “SRV” condenser assemblies. Changes in 

manufacturing make it impractical to manufacture “SRV” units. 

When placing an order for premature fin deterioration on pre-painted outdoor coils, the service replacement 

condenser coil assembly must be ordered through service parts. 

Note: There is some remaining inventory of SRV units. You may wish to check with Order Services for a possible 

SRV unit in inventory, before ordering a service replacement coil. 

See Service Bulletin CAG-429 Rev1 for applicable models and manufacturing date code ranges. 

Installed Units 

Warranty filing procedures will remain the same process as described in CAG-429 rev. 1, except: 

1. Do not remove compressor identification tag. 

2. The labor rate will be increased from 80% of Class “D” to 100% of Class “D”. 

3. The project code will remain 8554.

SUBJECT: 20214302 Defrost control 


NO: CAG-440 

In some installations the defrost control (20214302) used in Amana brand equipment may not perform as expected. 

In lower outdoor ambient temperatures the control may temporarily lockup. If this condition occurs, the control will 

fail to time out. 

To address this issue, we have made improvements to the control. In order to track these changes, the part number 

has been changed from 20214302 to 20214303. This change occurred August 2002. Heat Pumps manufactured 

September 2002 (Date code 0209) and later have the 20214303 defrost controls. Units manufactured prior to 

September 2002, but shipped after August 14, 2002 will also have the 20214303 control installed from the factory. 

These units can be identified by the Blue dot on the cartons bar code label. 

It is our desire to have only the latest defrost control available as service replacement parts. Therefore we are 

requesting that any remaining service parts inventory of the 20214302 defrost control boards be returned for credit. 

Any remaining inventory/stock units with the 20214302 defrost control should have the defrost control replaced 

prior to installation. 

The 20300101 “Defrost control kits” manufactured before 8/19/2002, also contains the 20214302 defrost control 

and would be subject to the same conditions and remedies as the 20214302 control noted in this letter. 



Amana will pay class "A" home service rate to replace a defective 20214302 control with a 20214303 defrost 

control that fails before December 31, 2004, the part warranty will remain as specified in the warranty certificate (5years 

form date of installation). A warranty tag (A173 or RF000007) must be completed for each unit serviced. 

Send the original white (Amana) copy 1 and copy 2 (Distributor copy) of the tag to the distributor. Attach the 

cardboard section of the warranty tag to the failed 20214302 controls being returned. The failed 20214302 defrost 

control with part tag attached, must be returned to the Distributor to obtain credit. 

The distributor will summarize the warranty tags on a PRF (Part Return Form). The Distributor will attach the 

original white (Amana) copy of the tag and copy 1 and copy 2 (Distributor copy) of the tag to the original white 

(Amana) copy of the PRF and send to Warranty Administration at Amana, Fayetteville. The failed defrost control, 

with part tag attached, must be returned to Amana to obtain credit. Distributor will enclose the yellow (Packing 

List) copy of the PRF with the corresponding failed 20214302 defrost control boards and ship to Warranty Returns - 

Amana, Fayetteville. 

Upon receipt of the failed 20214302 defrost control and proper documentation at Amana, Fayetteville, part credit 

will be issued to the distributor and labor credit directly to the servicer. (Labor or part credit will not be issued 

until the failed 20214302 defrost controls are received at Amana, Fayetteville.) In the event the dealer is not

SUBJECT: Copper vs. Aluminum Conductors 

WARNING 


® 



NO: CAG-439 

There have been some questions from the field as to the use of Copper vs. Aluminum conductors when installing 

our cooling and heating units. The conductor of choice for installing our equipment has been and will continue to 

be copper. This is due to the copper conductor’s inherent advantages: lower coefficients of expansion, higher 

tensile strength, and improved joint design, which make it a superior material over aluminum conductors. 

Copper is and has been throughout its history, a highly suitable metal for electrical installations. Copper is sound 

and does not degrade with sunlight or ultraviolet light, neither does it loose strength at temperatures higher than 

the environment nor does it turn fragile under lower temperatures. Copper has the highest conductivity among all 

metals used in engineering applications. This means that a copper cable, being smaller than an aluminum cable, 

has an equivalent current-carrying capacity. When being installed, conductors are subject to inevitable bending 

and mechanical abuse. Copper conductors, however, are stronger and more resistant than aluminum conductors. 

This is a real advantage both in distribution as well as in terminal boxes, where copper conductors can bend 

further, coil tighter and be pulled with greater force without drawing or breaking. To the contrary, aluminum is 

softer and has a lower degree of elasticity than copper, due to which it draws in the required area when being 

installed under great mechanic tension. 

Aluminum conductors have been found to react differently to different metals and in different style terminations. 

Copper does not appear to experience the problems connecting to different types of metals or styles of 

terminations that affect aluminum. Aluminum conductors require special protection and should not be used as 

equivalents to replace copper conductors 

Included in the installation instructions supplied with each product is a warning statement similar to the following 

statement, which reinforces our stance on the use of copper instead of aluminum conductors: 

TO AVOID THE RISK OF FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL 

INJURY, USE ONLY COPPER CONDUCTORS. 

NOTE: All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code or Canadian Electrical Code as well as 

all local codes. Use Minimum Circuit Ampacity and type of wire to determine proper wire size. The unit MUST be 

properly grounded.

SUBJECT: Specification Sheet and Unit Data Plate Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP) Device and 

Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA) Ratings for RCC**A2E 

There is a slight discrepancy between the Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP) device and Minimum Circuit 

Ampacity (MCA) ratings listed on Product Specification Sheet and Product Data Label (the label on the unit) on 

RCC**A2E model units. This issue affects only RCC**A2E model units built between October 2002 and February 

2003 (Serial date code range of 0210 through 0302). Where there is a difference, the product data label is 

correct. 

More specifically, on some models the specification sheet list a smaller Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP) 

device (breaker/fuse) than the product data label. When installed per the product data label or the specification 

sheet recommendations, the unit will function properly and pass all electrical requirements for the installation. 

Simply put, the product data label allows for a larger Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP) device 

(breaker/fuse) to be installed than what is listed in the specification sheet. 

The reason for this discrepancy is due to the change in the compressor from a reciprocating to a scroll 

compressor on these model units. This will not affect the operation of the equipment or create any service issues 

for the equipment.

SUBJECT: Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP) and Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA) 

There seems to be some confusion over the terminology being used in the specification literature for sizing of circuit 

breakers or fuses for use with our cooling and heating equipment. First we must clarify the two terms being used: 

Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP) and Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA), which are both listed on the unit 

nameplate. Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP) device, which can be in the form of HACR circuit breaker or 

fuse, tells the installer the largest overcurrent protection device (circuit breaker or fuse) that can be used on that 

particular unit. If a problem should develop which could cause the unit to have a very high current draw, the unit 

could be damaged, or the wiring to the unit could overheat. A properly sized and installed overcurrent protection 

device will prevent those problems from occurring. Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA) gives the minimum currentcarrying 

capacity of the conductors or equipment, expressed in amperes. 

The installer must use an approved HACR circuit breaker or fuse that will fall between these two ratings, the MOP 

and MCA. The protection device is to be sized greater than the unit MCA but not to exceed the MOP. Many times 

this range results in several sizes of commercially available devices being acceptable. First and most important, 

ALWAYS CHECK THE UNIT NAMEPLATE. NEVER EXCEED THE OVERCURRENT PROTECTION DEVICE 

SHOWN ON THE UNIT NAMEPLATE. An overcurrent protection device that is too big will not open to protect the 

equipment and the building from damage. In addition, the equipment warranty may be voided. 

If an installer uses an overcurrent protection device, which is smaller that what is shown in the specifications on the 

unit nameplate, you could be plagued by nuisance trips (and nuisance service calls which are not eligible for 

warranty reimbursement) even if nothing is wrong. 

Example: The Minimum Circuit Ampacity rating listed on the nameplate of a RHF24A2A is 18.2 amps and the 

Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP) Device is listed as 30.0 amps. The circuit breaker or fuse size may not be 

smaller than 18.2 amps or larger than 30.0 amps. For this application there are multiple choices that may be used, 

such as a 20-amp or a 30-amp circuit breaker or fuse. 

A properly installed and properly operating unit will have a steady-state amp draw considerably smaller than the 

recommended MOP size. For proper amp draw of a system, refer to the specifications listed on the nameplate or in 

the specification literature. 

IMPORTANT: While the specifications listed on the unit nameplate are presented as a guide, it is very important to 

properly size circuit breakers or fuses and wires and make electrical connections in accordance with the National 

Electrical Code and/or all local codes.




SUBJECT: Scroll Compressor Noise and Vibrations 

® 



NO: CAG-436 

We have received some field complaints regarding excessive noise and vibration from remote condensing units 

built with Copeland Scroll compressors. 

It has been said many times before, but it bears repeating. Scroll compressors, because of their inherent design 

and differences, produce different sounds and vibration frequencies than reciprocating compressors. Still, there are 

some installations where the scroll compressors are producing noise and vibrations that some people feel is 

objectionable. 

To address these installations, a “Suction Line Noise Reduction Kit” (Amana Part # SLSR-01) was released, 

which is available from Service Parts department. This kit is designed for all Amana products built with Copeland 

Scroll compressors. 

Please note, while this kit will reduce the scroll compressor vibration, it is not designed to overcome any of the 

installation deficiencies listed below: 

• Refrigerant lines are strapped tightly to structural members. 

• System is overcharged. 





The “Suction Line Noise Reduction Kit” will not fully compensate for the noise generated by the conditions listed 

above and may not produce satisfactory results.

Amana has received field reports of some VCA units in 

which the run and start wired to the compressors were 

reversed. Amana has not found any compressor in our 

inventory to be miswired; however, test performed by the 

Amana quality assurance department confirm that it is 

possible for a miswired compressor to pass line testing 

undetected. 

NOTE: A miswired compressor will start and run, but will 

trip out on the compressor internal overload. Once the 

compressor has tripped on internal overload it may 

require 2 hours or more for the overload to reset. Once 

the overload has reset and the wiring corrected the 

compressor will operate normally. 

Operating the condenser with a miswired compressor for 

a short amount of time will not cause damage to the 

compressor; however, continued operation of the condenser with a miswired compressor can result in 

compressor failure. 

As a result, Amana is requesting all VCA units be checked for correct compressor wiring at the time of 

installation. This is a quick and simple check. Remove the compressor terminal cover and inspect the 

compressor terminals for correct connections. The picture & drawing shows a typical miswired compressor and 

a correctly wired compressor. Note on the miswired compressor, the yellow wire is connected to the run (R) 

terminal and the red wire 

is connected to the start 

(S) terminal. See 

illustration at right. 

If you should find a unit in 

which the compressor is 

miswired, simply move 

the yellow wire to the start 

(S) terminal and the red 

wire to the run (R) 

terminal.

Page 1 of 1 

NO: CAG-434 

Some Amana Air Handlers, model numbers BBA60A2A & BBC60A2A have been found to have the “element 

locator holes” positioned incorrectly. The “element locator holes” are the holes in the back of the air handler that the 

heater support rods fit into to support the heater elements. 

This issue affects BBA60A2A and BBC60A2A models built in 2001 (serial date code 01XX). Units built in 2001 and 

shipped from Amana after January 9, 2002 have been inspected and corrected, if necessary. These units may be 

identified by a black rework dot affixed on the bar code label. This issue may make the heater kits in affected units 

more difficult to install. 

Suspect units may be easily checked and new “element locator holes” drilled to improve the heater kit installation. 

To check the locator holes for proper location, measure from the left edge of the “back-support” to the center of the 

locator holes. Properly located holes will measure approximately 6-3/4” from the edge of the plate to the center of 

the holes. Improperly located holes will measure approximately 6-3/16” from the edge of the plate to the center of 

the holes. 

If the holes are found to be located incorrectly, measure 9/16” to the right of the existing hole and drill new 1/4” 

diameter holes per the drawing below. 

Tech Note: The “element locator holes” are centered below the thermistor bracket. Locator holes that are

SUBJECT: Amana Fossil Fuel Kits FFK03A 


Page 1 of 1 

NO: CAG-433-B 

The Amana Fossil Fuel Kit “FFK03A”, when installed in furnaces that use the White-Rogers 50A55 ignition controls 

(Amana part # 10207709, or 10207714) will not provide “air tempering” in the defrost mode. This is due to the 

furnace ignition control having a “cooling priority”; this means when the ignition control receives multiple signals (24 

volts on both heating “W” and cooling “Y” low voltage terminals) at the same time, the furnace will go into the 

cooling mode. . In order for the FFK03A to provide “air tempering” in the defrost mode it will be necessary to install 

an isolation relay to break the “Y” signal in the defrost mode. 

In the defrost mode, the furnace will see 24 volts at both the “W” & “Y” terminals. This can, in some circumstances, 

cause the FFK03A to enter into a lockout condition. FFK03A’s shipped from Fayetteville after January 1, 2002 

contain an additional contact in the “O” circuit to prevent this condition. 

If you are experiencing either of these conditions, Amana recommends installing service kit RF000136, which 

includes an isolation relay to allow air tempering in the defrost mode and eliminate lockout conditions with the 

FFK03A fossil fuel kit. 


Amana will pay class “A” in home service rate to install a RF000136 service kit on FFK03A fossil fuel kits installed 

on matched Amana Furnace and Amana Heat Pump systems that experience problems described above within 

one year from date of installation. Since fossil fuel kits are not serialized product, proof of purchase must be 

provided on each claim. A warranty tag (RF000007) must be completed for each unit serviced. Send the original 

white (Amana) copy plus copy 1 and 2 (Distributor copies) of the tag to the distributor. 

The distributor will summarize the warranty tags on a PRF (Part Return Form). The Distributor will attach the 

original white (Amana) copy of the tag and copy 1 (Distributor copy) of the tag to the original white (Amana) copy of 

the PRF and send to Warranty Administration at Amana, Fayetteville. 

All claims for credit under this program must submitted to Warranty Administration at Amana, Fayetteville for 

processing by March 1, 2003.

SUBJECT: New Direct Spark Igniters for PGA, PGB and PGD Gas/Electric Package Units 

Amana has received field reports indicating that the new PGA*C*2E/F, PGB and PGD*C*2E model gas/electric 

package units may not light properly after having been converted to Propane Gas. This issue affects units built at 

the end of February 2001 through the end of May 2002 (Serial date codes 0102 through 0205). These units were 

built using the same burner bracket as used on our current 40" 90% furnaces. This change to the new burner 

bracket commonized the burner components and reduced the number of service parts required in the field. To 

address this issue Amana has released a new direct spark igniter (Amana Part # 20261708). 

Should you receive a field report or complaint of an ignition problem after the unit has been converted to Propane 

Gas, check the following items first: 

1. Gas pressure - adjust to proper value. 

2. Burner positioning - burners should be in locating slots, level front to rear and left to right. 

3. Carry over (lighter tube or cross lighter) obstructed - clean. 

4. Main burner orifice(s) deformed, or out of alignment to burner - replace. 

If after all the above mentioned items (1-4) have been checked and the unit is still not lighting on Propane Gas, 

the next thing to do would be to replace the direct spark igniter (Amana Part # 20261706 or 07) with the new 

direct spark igniter (Amana Part # 20261708). This new direct spark igniter places the spark in the main burner 

stream of burner #1 whereas the previous igniters placed the spark at the crossover between the first and second 

burner (refer to the figure below).

Amana will pay class "A" in-home service rate to install a new direct spark igniter (Amana Part # 20261708) on 

Amana Gas/Electric Package Units (specific models listed above) built between February 2001 and May 2002 

(Serial date codes 0102 through 0205) which experience lighting issues when converted to Propane Gas and it 

was determined that the problem was caused by the direct spark igniter. 


A warranty tag (A173 or RF000007) must be completed for each unit serviced. Send the original white copy

SUBJECT: BMA Control Board Functions 

The BMA air-handler released last year features a new electronic control 

board with some new operational modes you need to be aware of. The 

next update to the remote service manual will detail these changes. In 

the interim, this communication will provide the necessary operational 

and trouble-shooting information. 

BMA Control Board operation 

The BMA**F**A model air handlers have a solid state control board which 

monitors safety circuits, controls fan operation and heating functions. The 

BMA control board contains relays that are operated based on inputs 

from the room thermostat. The relays and therefore the blower and 

heaters are controlled per the following table. 

The BMA control board is programmed for heat priority. What that means 

is, a signal (call) for heat will cause the blower to energize the heating 

elements, even if there is also a signal (call) for cooling at the same time. 

The board will switch on at 10 to 14 Volts and 7 to 10 mA. Therefore 

"Power Robbing" thermostats may cause erratic board operation and 

should not be used. Only Amana recommended thermostats should be 

used in these applications. 

The BMA control board has a safety lock out feature. If the limit opens 4 

times in a single call for heat, the board will go in to a "hard lockout". 

Power must be removed from the board for 60 seconds in order to reset 

the board. The thermostat will not reset a “hard lockout”.

Replace or correct thermostat. A continuous fan operation (without a call for fan or cooling) indicates a board 

lockout. Identify and correct the cause of the board lockout.





SUBJECT: ECM Motor Service Replacement Power Heads 

Page 1 of 1 

NO: CAG-430 

Several Months ago Amana made a service parts substitution from a complete ECM motor to an ECM Power Head 

only. Extensive research by GE and Amana showed that a failure of the motor portion was extremely rare. 

By subbing to the ECM power head only, Amana and GE are able to offer the homeowners a repair part for the 

ECM motor at a cost comparable to a standard motor. 

All parts orders for a service replacement ECM motors are automatically subbed to the corresponding replacement 

ECM power head. In the unlikely event you require a complete ECM motor, you must contact your Distributor 

Technical Service Manager for the Complete ECM Motor. 

WARRANTY PROCEDURES: 

Amana will continue to pay class “B” labor for ECM Power heads replaced with ASURE labor coverage. 

As a result of the service parts substitution all warranty claims will be paid at the ECM power head cost. On the few 

claims where you are claiming warranty on a complete ECM motor assembly, you must indicate as such on the 

warranty claim and include a copy of the invoice for the complete motor assembly. 

MOTOR TESTING: 

Troubleshooting information on ECM motors is available on the Amana “InfoFinder” CD ROM. To open the ECM 

troubleshooting manual, type in “ECM” in the literature # field (the third field) on the “InfoFinder" opening screen. 

The ECM troubleshooting manual has extensive testing information on the ECM power heads. The package unit 

service manual and Ultron service manual also have extensive troubleshooting information on ECM motors. 

Basically, you are verifying that the signal (24V) from the control is reaching the power head. If you are not reading 

a signal (24V) to the motor, the control or interface board is defective, not the power head. 

If you suspect the motor portion of the ECM has failed: 

1. Disconnect power to the unit. 

2. Remove the ECM power head (5-pin connector, 16-pin connector, and two screws on the end of the power 

head. 

3. Between the ECM power head and the motor, there is a 3-pin connector linking the motor to the power 

head. Disconnect the 3-pin connector. 

4. Using an Ohmmeter, check the motor windings for continuity to ground. Continuity to ground (3-pin 

connector to shell) indicates a failed motor and the complete motor assembly must be replaced. 

5. Using an Ohmmeter, check the motor winding for continuity through the windings (pin to pin at the 3-pin 

connector). No continuity indicates the motor is open on internal (thermal) overload. Allow the motor to cool 

and retest. 

IT IS NORMAL to feel a slight resistance as you rotate the shaft of the ECM motor. This is the effect of the stator 

magnets passing through the field windings. This is not an indication of failed bearings. The motor assembly does 

not need to be replaced.

SUBJECT: Premature Fin Deterioration On Pre-painted Outdoor Coils 

Page 1 of 2 

NO: CAG-429 Rev 1 

This communication supersedes CAG429. 

Please remove the original from your files 

and replace with this version. 

Amana has received field reports indicating the painted aluminum fin material is deteriorating prematurely in some 

locations. The products of corrosion (aluminum oxide) causes the coil to acquire a white appearance, sometimes 

described as a "snowball" appearance. 

This issue affects only coils on Amana built units with pre-painted aluminum material from October 1998 through 

July 2000 (Serial date codes 9810 through 0007). Amana product built with unpainted aluminum coils is not 

affected (VCB***, PCA**C, PGB**C, and PHB**C models). 

Should you experience premature deterioration of the painted fin material on Amana units built between Oct. 1998 

and July 2000 (Serial date codes 9810 through 0007), Amana recommends replacement of the outdoor coil with a 

replacement condenser assembly. The replacement condenser assemblies will carry the same part number as the 

outdoor unit model number except the part number will end in "SRV". Service replacement condenser assemblies 

will not be available for three phase models and package units, these applications will require a replacement coil. 

The list below indicates the appropriate replacement condenser assembly number.

Note: Condenser assemblies are long lead-time parts. Amana recommends identifying units that need 

replacement coils and ordering the condenser assemblies with the understanding that these units will be 

built "on demand". Every effort will be made to provide condenser assemblies in a timely manner; 

however, some low volume models may require 3 to 6 months lead-time to produce. 


Amana will pay 80% of a class "C" in home service rate to install a replacement condenser assembly in Amana 

units built with pre-painted aluminum coils between Oct. 1998 and July 2000, within 5 years from the date of 

installation. Amana will pay class "C" labor to replace a failed coil with a replacement coil on Amana units built with 

pre-painted aluminum coils between Oct. 1998 and July 2000, within 5 years from the date of installation.

A warranty tag (A173 or RF000007) must be completed for each unit serviced. The dealer must attach a picture of 

the failed condenser and the compressor serial tag from the failed condenser to the warranty claim. Send the 

original white (Amana) copy plus copy 1 and 2 (Distributor copies) of the tag to the distributor. The distributor will 

summarize the warranty tags on a PRF (Part Return Form). The Distributor will attach the original white (Amana) 

copy of the tag and copy 1 (Distributor copy) of the warranty tag to the original white (Amana) copy of the PRF and 

send to Warranty Administration at Amana, Fayetteville. 

Upon receipt of proper documentation at Amana, Fayetteville, part credit will be issued to the distributor and labor 

credit directly to the servicer. In the event the dealer is not set up as an authorized servicer, labor will be issued to 

the distributor (at the distributors rate) to pass along to the dealer. All warranty claims must include a picture of 

the failed condenser and the compressor serial plate (SRV units). Claims without proper documentation 

will be rejected. 

All claims for labor assistance in conjunction with service replacement condenser assemblies or replacement coils 

under this program must reference Project 8554 and be submitted to Warranty Administration at Amana, 

Fayetteville for processing within 5 years from date of installation.

Heating 

&Air Conditioning 

® 

Amana package heat pump model numbers PHB36,42,48,60C*, PHD36,42,48C* have long distributor tubes feeding 

the outdoor coil. In some instances, the compressor vibration has been transmitted to the distributor causing the distributor 

tubes to vibrate and rub against each other, resulting in refrigerant leaks. 

To address this issue, Amana has released a service kit, Amana part number RF000003 (Distributor Tube Kit) , which 

contains wire ties, grommet, and chaffing strip to secure the distributor tubes. 

In some installations, the distributor tube rubbing has resulted in refrigerant leaks. In these installations, Amana

SUBJECT: Thermostat Compatibility with PHD42/48C and PHB60C Package Heat Pumps 

Amana package heat pump model numbers PHD42/48C*** and PHB60C*** were initially released with ECM motors 

(Amana part numbers 10843306 and 11074706 ) which require 24 volts at the "G" terminal in order for the motor to 

operate properly in the heating or cooling mode. 

As a result, Amana package heat pumps PHD42/48C*** and PHB60C*** with serial date codes of 9905 and prior, may 

not function correctly with some thermostats. 

Specifically, Amana thermostats 10636701, 10636702, 10636703, 10636704, and D6853510 will not energize the "G" 

terminal in the emergency heat mode, resulting in a dead blower failure mode. DO NOT USE THESE THERMOSTATS 

with PHD42/48C*** and PHB60C*** with serial date codes of 9905 and prior! 

Amana thermostats D9807605, D9945804, 1213403, 1213404, and 1213405 will energize the "G" terminal in the 

emergency heat mode and are approved for use with Amana package heat pumps. 

ECM motors, part # 10843306 was replaced by 10843308 and part # 11074706 was replaced by 11074708 in production 

beginning with serial date code 9906 and later. These motors (10843308 & 11074708) do not require the "G" 

terminal to be energized for proper operation. 

Amana package heat pump model numbers PHD42/48C*** and PHB60C*** built after May 1999 (serial date code 9906 

and later) will function correctly with all of the above listed thermostats. 

Amana thermostats D9807606 and D9945803 have not been tested with Amana package heat pumps PHD42/48C*** 

and PHB60C***, therefore proper operation cannot be assured.

SUBJECT: RHE36A2A Heat Pumps with Discharge Tube Breakage 

NO: CAG-425-B 

Amana has received some field reports of RHE36A2A heat pumps in which the discharge tube develops a crack 

resulting in a loss of the refrigerant charge. This condition has been seen in RHE36A2A models between serial date 

codes 9804 to 9907. 

This failure has been identified as occurring when the compressor vibration is transmitted to the discharge tube resulting 

in a stress crack in the radius of the bend in the discharge tube. To address this condition, Amana has redesigned 

the discharge tube (Amana part # 20278001) for the RHE36A2A with a different bend configuration which eliminates the 

potential for this occurrence. 

If you should experience a failure as described above, Amana recommends replacing the discharge tube with the new 

Amana part # 20278001. Simply repairing the existing discharge tube may not change vibration transmission effect and 

the failure could reoccur. The old part # 11030502 has been subbed to the new part # (20278001) in the Amana service 

parts system. 

RHE36A2A heat pumps manufactured after 8/1/99 (Serial date code 9908 and later) will incorporate the new discharge 

tube configuration.

SUBJECT: Package Heat Pump "PHD" Models "C" Chassis, Incomplete Defrost 

NO: CAG-424-B 

Under extreme ice building conditions, Amana package heat pumps models PHD24/30C02E, may not remove all of the 

ice built up on the outdoor coil in a single defrost cycle. Under these same conditions it is also possible for the loss of 

charge switch to open, leaving the unit to operate on supplemental electric heat only, until the loss of charge switch 

closes and the unit returns to normal operating mode. 

If you should experience this issue in field installed units manufactured before May 1999, Amana recommends the 

following changes to address this condition: 

1. Change the loss of charge switch to Amana part # C6453313 (7 psi setting). 

2. Change the defrost setting from 60 minutes to 30 minutes. 

3. Repositioning the defrost sensor. See illustrations on page 2. 

In some instances, there have been reports of nuisance tripping of the loss of charge switch in PHB42/60C02E and 

PHD36/48C02E models also. 

To address this possibility, Amana has made the above noted changes to units manufactured after May 1999, (9905 

date code). Units manufactured before May 1999 but shipped from Fayetteville after August 30, 1999 have been reworked 

to include the changes listed above. These units may be identified by the black dot on the bar code label. 


If the 35 psi "Loss of Charge" switch (C6453308) is replaced with a 7 psi "Loss of Charge" switch (C6453313), the 

defrost sensor is relocated, and the defrost time adjusted, within the product warranty period, on units with serial 

number prefixes of 9904 and prior, Amana will provide labor to replace the "Loss of Charge" switch as described below. 

Package Heat Pump units (PHB/PHD**C***2D) manufactured 9905 & later will have the 7 psi "Loss of Charge" switch 

(C6453313) factory installed, units manufactured before May 1999 but shipped from Fayetteville after August 30, 1999, 

will have the 7 psi "Loss of Charge" switch (C6453313) factory installed. These units may be identified by the black dot 

on the bar code label. 

All claims for credit under this program must be submitted to Warranty Administration at Amana Iowa for processing 

within the warranty period. 


Amana will pay class "A" home service rate to install a 7 psi "Loss of Charge" switch (C6453313), relocate defrost 

sensor, and adjust defrost time to 30 minutes in package heat pump units which experience a nuisance tripping of the 

"Loss of Charge" switch during the product warranty period. A warranty tag (A173) must be completed for each unit 

serviced. Send the original white (Amana) copy plus copy 1 and 2 (Distributor copies) of the tag to the distributor. 

The distributor will summarize the warranty tags on a PRF (Part Return Form). The Distributor will attach the original 

white (Amana) copy of the tag and copy 1 (Distributor copy) of the tag to the original white (Amana) copy of the PRF and 

send to Warranty Administration at Amana, Iowa. 

Upon receipt of proper documentation at Amana, Iowa, labor credit directly to the servicer. In the event the dealer is not 

set up as an authorized servicer, labor will be issued to the distributor (at the distributors rate) to pass along to the 

dealer.

SUBJECT: Amana "C" Design Series Package Units in High Static or Down Discharge Installations 

Package Gas Units 

When installed in a down-discharge configuration, the 

Amana PGB60C***2D/E units provide marginal air flow and 

should not be used in this application. While this information 

has been provided to the field in the specification sheet 

and product data bulletin, we don't feel that everyone has 

been made sufficiently aware of this information. 

In 5-ton down-discharge or high static horizontal discharge 

gas pack installations, Amana recommends using the 

PGA60C***2D/E because of it's enhanced blower performance. 

When installed in a down-discharge configuration or high 

static horizontal discharge application, sufficient internal 

static pressures may be created to allow the condensate to 

be drawn out of the drain pan and into the return air plenum. 

The Amana PGA60C***2D/E package units have a 

"Splash Baffle" (Amana part # 20172501) which prevents 

the condensate from seeping into the return air plenum in 

high static applications. Amana recommends adding the 

"Splash Baffle" (Amana part # 20172501) to all package 

gas down discharge installations, and all horizontal installations 

which will experience total external static pressures 

"Splash Baffle" (Amana part # 20172501) 

of 0.30" W.C. and greater. 

The "Splash Baffle" (Amana part # 20172501) must be sealed to the drain pan to prevent seepage. The baffle can be 

sealed with silicone sealant (Amana Part # R9900143). 

Notes: The drain pan is sealed along the vertical seam where the drain pan penetrates the partition wall, but not across 

the bottom of the drain pan between the coil and drain pan. This vertical seal and the open gap across the bottom of the 

coil must be maintained. Exercise care when sealing the "Splash-Baffle" to maintain these appropriate seals and gaps 

required for proper drainage. 

Amana package gas units are shipped from the factory for the appropriate blower setting for a normal horizontal discharge 

installation. In down-discharge or high static installations, the installer should measure the total external static 

and review the blower performance charts in the product specification sheet. In some installations it will be necessary to 

change the blower speed to provide proper air flow.

Package Heat Pump Units 

When installed in a down-discharge configuration or a 

horizontal discharge with high static pressure (greater 

than 0.30" W.C.), it may be possible for the return air 

negative static pressure to be of sufficient force to prevent 

proper condensate drainage. 

In these installations, Amana recommends replacing the 

internal drain with an external drain trap as shown and 

noted. 

The picture at right (top removed for clarity) shows the 

drain hose location 

Release the hose clamp securing the drain hose to the 

drain pan and remove the drain hose. Be sure to save 

the hose clamp for reuse. 

Use tin snips to notch the existing drain hole down about 

1/2” to the top of the basepan rail. (See drawing, below) 

Bend the notched portion of the post inward to allow the 

new drain to sit directly on the basepan rail.

SUBJECT: New Service Manual Structure 


BUILT BETTER THAN IT HAS TO BE 

Heating ¡ Air Conditioning 

NO: CAG-422-B 

Amana Technical Services is pleased to announce the release of the new modular style, service and parts manual 

system. The new modular manual system is divided up into one service manual for each product group (i.e.. remotes, 

package units, furnaces) which details servicing and diagnostic techniques for that product group and product specific 

technical manuals for each design series of product. The technical manuals contain all specifications, performance 

data and wiring diagrams for that design series of product. 

The first group of these manuals to be released is the remote products group which covers all current design remote 

products. You will be receiving these manuals in the next service literature mailing. This will be followed by the furnace 

product group, then by the package units product group. The remote series of manuals will replace the current A/C and 

Heat Pump Service manuals RS6100002 (Rev 3) and RS6200002 (Rev 2). 

The new manual modular system numbering has been designed so that if the manuals are placed in numerical order, 

they will be in model order. As new products are developed and released, subsequent manuals will be consistent with 

the numbering system. If the manuals are maintained in numerical order, they will always be in model order. 

The schematic below details how the new module system works.

SUBJECT: Replacement Ignition Controls for Amana "C" Series Package Gas Units with "D" Engineering 

Revision 

The "Honeywell Smart Valve System" used in the Amana "C" series (PGA/PGB/PGD**C***2D) package units with the 

"D" engineering revision, has shown some reliability concerns in areas with high humidity. This condition can be the 

result of condensation collecting inside the "Smart Valve" causing the valve to deviate from the standard operating 

mode. If this condition occurs the valve may intermittently fail to operate or may cause the auxiliary limit to trip. 

This condition can affect Amana Package Gas Units manufactured between September 1995 and June 1999. 

If you should receive a service call on an Amana "C" series (PGA/PGB/PGD**C***2D) package unit with the "D" 

engineering revision, which experiences intermittent problems as described above, we recommend converting the 

package unit to a direct spark ignition (DSI) system using Amana "Direct Spark Ignition Conversion Kit" part # 20268501. 

The "Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) Conversion Kit" (20268501) will replace the Smart Valve, Fan Timer Board, Pilot, and 

Igniter. The DSI control incorporates an internal diagnostic system with flash codes similar to those used in the Amana 

gas furnace line. The actual flash code designation for the "DSI" system is included in the installation instructions for 

the "DSI" kit. 


If the Honeywell "Smart Valve" system on PGA/PGB/PGD**C***2D model package unit(s), is replaced with a "Direct 

Spark Ignition (DSI) Conversion Kit" (20268501), within the product warranty period on units with serial number prefixes 

of 9906 and prior, Amana will provide labor to replace the Honeywell "Smart Valve" system as described below. 

Package Gas units (PGA/PGB/PGD**C***2E) manufactured 9907 & later will have the "Direct Spark" Ignition system 

factory installed. 

All claims for credit under this program must reference Project 8499 and be submitted to Warranty Administration at 

Amana Iowa for processing within the warranty period.

SUBJECT: RCB/RCC Remotes with Tecumseh Compressors 

Noise/Vibration Complaints 

NO: CAG-417-B 

Amana has received field reports of some RCB__A2B or A2C and RCC__A2B units with Tecumseh compressors 

which generate unsatisfactory sound levels in normal operation. Amana has been working closely with Tecumseh to 

identify, define, and address these issues. The affect models are as follows; 

RCB18A2B RCC18A2B 

RCB24A2B RCC24A2B 

RCB30A2C RCC30A2B 

RCB36A2B 

The excessive sound has been identified as a vibration resulting from the discharge pulse of the compressor transmitted 

to the condenser chassis. This vibration can be corrected by the installation of a baffled muffler (Amana part 

number 11020802) in the discharge line of the compressor. In some cases the vibration can be reduced by adding 

gasketing or closed cell foam tape to the top of the condenser coil. Foam gaskets, Amana part number 10839803, 

were added to units in production beginning with serial number 9710 and later. 

If a baffled muffler (part # 11020802) is required on those models listed above (with Tecumseh AWC or AWF compressors) 

within 12 months of date of installation, Amana will provide labor to install the muffler and gaskets as described 

below for units with serial number prefixes of 9802 and prior. As with any sealed system repair, the liquid line drier 

must be changed using the correct Amana part for the application. All claims for credit under this program must 

reference Project "8415" and be submitted to Warranty Administration at Amana, Iowa, for processing no later than 

December 31, 1999. 

Hard Starting Complaints 


® 



Additionally there have been some hard start or no start conditions reported with these compressors. In some cases 

these were determined to be installation/application related. Some units were installed without a hard start kit when 

matched with a TXV-valve indoor coil. Remember, whenever a TXV-valve coil is used with a reciprocating compressor, 

the outdoor unit must have a matching Amana hard start kit installed. Other units simply did not have adequate 

voltage to reliably start the compressor. The minimum locked rotor voltage that must be supplied for the compressor to 

start is 197 VAC, refer to the service manual for testing procedures. 

Some compressors however were found to have improper air gaps in the motor which can create a hard starting 

condition. If the compressor is seeing the minimum 197 VAC during the locked rotor voltage test and an Amana hard 

start is properly installed (if required as specified above) and the compressor still fails to start, then the compressor 

must be replaced. 

If the compressor is replaced on the models listed above for a no start condition within 12 months from date of 

installation, Amana will provide labor as specified below for units with serial number prefixes of 9802 and prior. As with 

any sealed system repair, the liquid line drier must be changed using the correct Amana part for the application. All 

claims for credit under this program must reference Project "8414" and be submitted to Warranty Administration at

SUBJECT: Remote Units with Potentially Inoperative Pressure Switches. 

NO: CAG-416-B 

Beginning in late February, Amana began using a copper washer between the pressure switch and the dill valve on 

all remote units equipped with a pressure switch to reduce the potential for leaks at this joint. We have discovered in 

our quality audits that in some units this washer is thick enough to prevent the core depressor in the pressure switch 

from fully depressing the valve core in the dill valve, causing unreliable operation of the pressure switch. 

The low-pressure switch is a normally open switch that must see a minimum pressure to close. If the valve core for 

the low pressure has not been depressed the switch will be open preventing the unit from operating. The highpressure 

switch is a normally closed switch that opens at approximately 400 PSIG. If the valve core for the highpressure 

switch has not been depressed the switch will not shut down the unit in a high-pressure condition such as 

a failed condenser motor. However, the compressor is still protected by the IPR (Internal Pressure Relief) valve and 

the compressor overload. 

This condition can exist on remote units (RCC__A2A & A2B, RCE__A2A, RHA__A2B, and RHE__A2B) manufactured 

between February 24, 1998 (Serial # 9802209398) and May 4, 1998 (Serial # 9805135489). Only units within 

the noted serial range are affected. Units shipped from Fayetteville after 5/14/98 have been inspected and can be 

identified by the Brown Dot located on/near the carton bar code label. 

The copper washer must be removed during product installation to ensure reliable pressure switch operation. 

Amana is sending adhesive backed labels to Branch/Distributors to be applied to inventory units to serve as a 

reminder to installers. Labor for units installed prior to distribution of this service letter which therefore require a return 

trip to the job site will be provided as described below. This labor allowance will only be provided on units installed 

prior to June 30, 1998. 

Instructions 


1. WARNING Disconnect power to unit before servicing. 

2. Remove Control panel cover. Swing control panel open to access pressure switch/refrigerant tubing. It is not 

necessary to pump system down or recover refrigerant to complete this procedure. 

2. Remove pressure switch from dill valve fitting using a backup wrench to avoid 

bending or damaging the valve or tubing. Remove and discard copper washer. 

Note some models have two pressure switches, it is necessary to remove 

the washers from both pressure switches. 

3. To further reduce the potential for leaks at this joint Amana recommends 

applying a drop of Loctite # 242® Threadlock or equal quality refrigerant 

sealant on the dill valve seating surface as shown in the illustration. If Locktite 

is not available Teflon tape on the dill valve threads may be substituted. 

4. Reinstall pressure switch and torque to no more than 90-100 in.lbs (7.5 to 

8.33 Ft. lbs). 

® 



Apply one drop of sealer 

to the seating surface of 

the valve.



On units installed prior to receipt of this notification Amana will pay a DOA Class "A" labor allowance to inspect and 

remove the copper washers as described above. This labor allowance will not be paid on any unit installed after June 

30, 1998. A warranty tag (A173-9) must be completed for each unit. Send the original white (Amana) copy of the tag, 

the yellow and pink (Distributor) copy of the tag to Warranty Administration at Amana, Iowa. In the event the dealer is 

not set up as an authorized servicer, he/she must submit claims to the distributor for processing. 

The distributor will summarize the warranty tags on a PRF (Parts Return Form). The distributor will attach the original 


and send to Warranty Administration at Amana, Iowa. 

Upon receipt of proper documentation at Amana, Iowa, labor credit will be issued directly to the servicer. (Labor 

credit will not be issued until proper documentation is received at Amana, Iowa.) In the event the dealer is not set up 

as an authorized servicer, labor will be issued to the distributor (at the distributors rate) to pass along to the dealer.




SUBJECT: Honeywell Smart Valves 

NO: CAG-415-B 

Amana has received several request for additional information in trouble shooting the Honeywell Smart Valve (SV9500 

and SV9501) Systems. 

We believe you will find the attached Sequence of Operation and Trouble Shooting Guide to be an invaluable tool in 

identifying and correcting complaints with the Honeywell Smart Valve Systems. 

An important note to remember: Effective August, 1997, Amana changed service replacement gas valves from 

the SV9500 valve to the SV9501 Valve. The SV9501 Valve has a few changes in its sequence of operation which has 

caused some confusion in the field. These changes are shown in the "Sequence of Operation" flow charts attached. 

The single greatest cause of "Failure to Sense Flame" is the position of the pilot relative to the burners. The burners 

actually shield some of the wind from the pilot allowing the pilot to sense flame. If the pilot is not positioned directly 

behind the burner as shown left, the pilot cannot sense the flame. The burner bracket has an oval shaped hole cut in it. 

By looking through the hole, one can view the pilot position relative to the burner. 

The Pilot flame should envelop 3/8" to 1/2" of the tip of the flame rod (see figure right). If not, change the pilot adjustment 

at gas valve to correct pilot flame. 

CORRECT 

POSITION 

INCORRECT 

POSITION 


MOISTURE: 

Dripping water or condensation can cause the valve to 

fail. Make sure that water runoff from the roof will not 

inundate the unit and drip on to the valve. Check to verify 

that the electrical wiring harness does not sag to form a 

drip leg directly above the valve. If necessary reposition 

harness so that it is not directly above the valve. 

Test Kits: 

Amana has released 2 test kits to assist in trouble shooting 

the Honeywell Smart Valves. R9900026 "Flame 

Sense Measurement Kit" is a wiring harness which can 

be inserted between the gas valve and the pilot assembly 

allowing the flame sensing current to be measured by 

either millivolts or milliampere. Kit includes instructions. 

R9900027 "Smart Valve Test Harness" is a wiring harness 

which can be inserted between the gas valve and 

the control board allowing direct voltage readings of gas 

valve inputs and outputs. Kit includes instructions. 

If the pilot is more than 1/4" off the center line of the 

burner, the "Smart Valve" will not sense pilot flame.

SUBJECT: Element Support Bracket on ECB25C and ECB30C Heater Kits 

® 



NO: CAG-414-B 

Amana is requesting the return of all ECB25C and ECB30C Heater kits shipped from Fayetteville before April 16, 

1998. We have found some of the ECB25C and ECB30C heater kits to have weak weld joints on the support brackets. 

This is limited to the "C" series 25 & 30 KW heaters only. Heater kits shipped from Fayetteville after April 16, 1998 will 

be inspected for possible weld problems and are not subject to return. 


Contact your Amana account representative to arrange for exchange of product inventory with new Heater Kits. 

All returned Heater Kits must be marked with: R/A number

Attention: Paul Delucenay, Quality Assurance 


Labor for ECB25C or ECB30C replacement on installed units will be issued at class "A" in home service rates. A 

warranty tag (A173-9) must be completed for each unit serviced which is in Dealer inventory or installed. Attach the 

cardboard section of the warranty tag to the replaced Heater Kit. Send the original white (Amana) copy of the tag, the 

yellow and pink (Distributor) copy of the tag along with the replaced Heater Kit to the distributor. 



and send to Warranty Administration at Amana, Iowa. Distributor/Branch will contact account representative to arrange 

for R/A of the Heater Kits to Amana, Fayetteville. 

Upon receipt of the proper documentation at Amana, Iowa, R/A credit will be issued to the distributor for the heater kit

SUBJECT: BBA/BBC Blower Insulation 


NO: CAG-413-B 

Page 1 of 2 

Amana has received a few reports of the foil faced insulation on the Top Panel of the BBA/BBC's pulling loose and 

contacting the heater assembly. In some cases the insulation may be loosened when the heater kit was installed either 

through direct contact with the insulation or if the top panel was raised or removed during heater installations. 

The insulation was lengthened on units produced after 6/1/95 (Serial # 9506217515 and later) so that it could be 

sandwiched between the top panel and the heater mounting panel to better secure the insulation. If the top panel is 

raise during heater installation, care must be taken to ensure that the insulation remains sandwiched between the top 

panel and heater mounting panel. If this is not done the insulation can bunch up or tear away from the top panel where 

it may eventually come in contact with the terminals on the heater assembly. High return statics can also contribute to 

loose insulation. 

To minimize the possibility of the top insulation from pulling loose and contacting the heater terminals, we recommend 

adding the insulation retainer to all units manufactured 9710 and prior during the product installation. If the insulation 

retainer is added to an installed BBA/BBC model blower, to secure the insulation, Amana will provide labor to install 

the blower insulation retainer as described below. Amana has released three brackets to secure the top insulation. The 

bracket part numbers are as follows;

SUBJECT: PHCB__C1 Heater Kits for Package Units 


NO: CAG-412-B 

Page 1 of 2 

Amana has received a few reports of some PHCB10C1 and PHCB15C1 heater kits being wired incorrectly. A 

miswired heater kit installed in a PHB Package unit can be quickly identified as follows. If a heater kit is miswired, 

the air circulating motor (blower) will run continuously except during a call for resistance heat (W-2). Upon a call for 

resistance heat the fan will shut off causing the hi-limit to trip. 

The heater kits which may be wired incorrectly are limited to date codes of A9715XXXXX. This date code can be found 

on the bar coded label of the kit. Amana recommends that all inventory of suspect PHCB heater kits be inspected for 

a possible miswiring condition before being installed in a unit. All PHCB heater kits shipped from Fayetteville inventory 

after December 1, 1997, have been inspected for correct wiring. 

The wiring diagram below shows the correct wiring and how to correct the kit if miswired.

While correcting any miswired heater kits, it is advisable to inspect 

the heater elements for proper installation and positioning. There have 

been a few instances where the installer may have attempted to install 

the heater kit without removing the "Heater Box - Baffle" (Amana 

Part # 20037201), resulting in air leaks and incorrect positioning of 

the elements. Verify that the element assembly fits flush against the 

"Heater Box" with the "Heater Box - Baffle" positioned above element 

assembly. 

Beginning with 1998 production (Serial # 9801 and later) the "Heater 

Box - Baffle" was redesigned requiring the "Heater Box - Baffle" to be 

removed to install the heater kit and reinstalled after inserting the 

heater element(s). The drawing on the following page graphically illustrates 

the location of the "Heater Box - Baffle". 

Remember, the "Heater Box - Baffle" must be reinstalled after the element is installed.

SUBJECT: ID Blower/Collector Box Condensate Drain Kit 

NO: CAG-411-B 

Amana Gas Package Units (SPCG, PGA__B, PGB__A/B, & PGC__B), when installed in areas of high humidity 

and with high duct statics may sometimes accumulate condensate in the collector box and induced draft blower 

assembly during A/C operation. In corrorsive enviroments this condensate buildup may lead to rusting and premature 

failure of the collector box and/or induced draft blower. 

To help extend the life of these components under extreme conditions, Amana has released six (6) "Condensate 

Drain Service Kits". These kits will allow drainage of the condensate buildup in the collector box and induced draft 

blower assembly, thereby extending the life of these components. 

The Condensate Drain Kits are available from the 

Amana Service Department by ordering the following

SUBJECT: Condenser Fan Operating Sound on Amana Package Heat Pump Units 

® 



NO: CAG-409-B 

Amana has received some reports of package heat pump units (PHB_C02D) which reportedly produce objectionable 

operating sound levels in applications where the sound is baffled or reflected back into occupied areas. In response, 

Amana has released a "Fan Orifice Kit" which will reduce the operating sound level measurably. 

The "Fan Orifice Kit" consists of a new 22" fan blade, a new orifice ring, seal strips, and a spacer ring. All PHB__C02_ 

units shipped from Fayetteville after 8/28/97 will have the new fan blade, orifice ring, and sound blanket installed. 

These units can be identified by a Brown dot on the bar code label. 

Units installed in applications where the operating sound is an issue may be field reworked using the "Fan Orifice Kit", 

Amana Part # 20171601. 

Note: In addition to the "Fan Orifice Kit", the dealer may elect to install a compressor sound blanket (CSB04A, service 

part # 10857101). The compressor sound blanket will reduce the normal sound level of the compressor, which may 

further reduce the overall operating sound. 


If a "Fan Orifice Kit" or "Fan Orifice Kit" and sound blanket is installed on PHB__C02D model package heat pump to 

correct a customer noise complaint, on units with serial numbers prefixes of 9708 and prior, Amana will provide labor 

as described below. PHB_C02D units manufactured 9709 and later will have the revised condenser fan blade, orifice, 

and sound blanket installed. Units manufactured 9708 and prior, shipped after 8/28/97, will also have the revised 

condenser fan blade, orifice and sound blanket installed from the factory. These units can be identified by the brown 

dot on the carton adjacent to the bar code label.

SUBJECT: Pressure Switch Kit for RHD Model Heat Pumps 

NO: CAG-408 

We have received several requests to provide a pressure switch kit for the RHD model heat pumps to provide loss of 

charge protection as was done on the RHE models. In response to this request Amana has created a Pressure Switch 

Kit part number 20151501 for use on RHD model heat pumps. 

This kit consists of a low-pressure switch, 30/60 defrost thermostat, replacement wiring diagram and instructions to 

complete installation. This kit has been developed to provide quick installation without the need to open the sealed 

system. The low-pressure switch mounts on a refrigerant tee connected to the low-pressure service tap below the 

control panel (see illustration below). This provides easy access for installation, yet keeps the pressure switch out of 

the way to prevent damage. If your customer wishes to add this optional accessory to their installation the Pressure 

Switch Kit part number 20151501 can be ordered from the Amana Parts Department.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: Insufficient Heat Issues on BBA and BBC air Handlers 

NO: NO: CAG-407-B 

It has been determined that under certain conditions, the BBA or BBC air handlers may not allow sufficient heat strips 

to energize to maintain suitable supply air temperatures. 

To address this condition, all Amana units produced after 5/1/97 (Serial number 9705 and later) will have new control 

boards. For Amana units produced before 5/1/97 (Serial number 9704 and prior) has released new control boards for 

the BBA and BBC air handlers. NOTE: BBA/BBC units with a serial date code of 9705 and later MUST use the "C" 

series heater kits in the 15 & 20 K.W. configuration. (EHK__C or ECB__C) 

Because of the additional heating, certain installations will require additional components replaced in order for the 

system to perform correctly. Systems with 15 and 20 K.W. heater kits will require changing the heater kit to a corresponding 

EHK__C or ECB__C heater kit. Three and four ton systems will require repositioning the blower assembly 

with a bracket assembly, This includes BBA36A2A, BBC36A2A, and BBA48A2A. 

Before begining any changes, understanding the following limitations of the system. 

1. A faulty thermostat will not allow this system to operate satisfactory. Amana thermostats are specified to have 1.5 

to 2 degrees between first and second stage heating. If your thermostat has more than 3 degees between first 

and second stage heating, the system will not function satisfactory, even with the new board. 

2. These changes will not compensate for improper installations or inadaquate duct system. In installation with very 

high duct statics, the changes may result in a failure of the fuseable links in the heater kit. Please verify and or 

correct any deficiencies in the duct system prior to any control board changes. 

The following matrix defines the specific changes required for each air handler / heater kit combination.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES: 

1. Disconnect all power to unit! 

NOTE: It may be necessary to turn off more than one circuit breaker if the electric furnace is supplied with multiple 

circuits! 

2. Remove the blower access door. 

3. Disconnect the low voltage thermostat wires, thermistor wires, and the 12 pin connector from the blower control board. 

Tag the low voltage wires if necessary to aid in reconnection later. 

4. Disconnect the supply wires from the circuit breakers (if equipped) or disconnect the supply wires from the heater 

pigtails. Tag the supply wires (L1 through L6, if applicable) to aid in reconnection later. Masking tape can be used to 

tag the wires with the connection point written on the tape. 

5. Remove the two screws securing the circuit breaker bracket (if equipped) to the blower and leave hanging. 

6. Remove the two screws securing the blower assembly and remove the blower assembly while holding the circuit 

breakers out of the way to provide clearance. 

NOTE: On some models it may be necessary to remove the lower cross brace in order to remove the blower assembly. 

If so, remove the coil door and then remove the cross brace. 

7. (For systems with 15 & 20 K.W. Heater Kits Only) Remove the four screws securing the electric heater to the 

blower unit and remove the electric heater assembly. 

8. Install the replacement electric heater and secure with the four screws. 

9. Tag the wires that connect to the control board. Disconnect all wires to the control board. Remove the control board 

from the blower assembly. It may be easier to disconnect the plastic mounting feet from the control board instead of 

disconnecting the mounting feet from the metal mounting plate. 

10. Install the new board. Reconnect the wires removed in disassembly. 

11. (For BBA36, BBA48, and BBC36 Only) Install 

the blower bracket assembly in the outlet of the 

blower assembly and secure to the blower assembly 

with two #8 X 1/2” drill point screws. See figure 

1. 

12. Reinstall the blower assembly and secure to the 

electric heater panel with two # 8 X 1” sheet metal 

screws. 

10. Secure the circuit breaker mounting bracket (if 

equipped) to the blower unit. 

11. Reconnect the low voltage wires, the thermistor 

wires, and the 12 position electrical connector. 

12. Reconnect the supply wires to the circuit breakers 

(if equipped) or to the heater kit pigtails. 

13. Double check that all wires are properly reconnected 

according to the unit wiring diagram. 

14. If removed, reinstall the lower cross brace and the coil door. Reinstall the blower door. 

15. Turn on the electrical power and check the unit for normal operation.

BBCmodel air handlers, is replaced with a 

11074203 or -04 control on applicable installations, 

the blower brackets and/or heater kits replaced 

on units with serial numbers prefixes of 

9704 and prior, Amana will provide labor to replace 

the controls and required components as 

described above. 

It is Amana's desire to have only the latest control 

boards available as service replacement 

parts. Based on this we request any remaining 

inventory of the 11074201, or -02 control boards 

be returned for credit. 

All claims for credit under this program must 

reference Project 8486 and be submitted to 

Warranty Administration at Amana Iowa for processing 

by December 31, 1998. 


Amana will pay class "A" in home service rate 

labor to replace 11074201, or -02 control boards 

on on installed units. A warranty tag (A173-9) 

must be completed for each unit serviced which 

is in Dealer inventory or installed. Attach the 

cardboard section of the warranty tag to the 

replaced defrost control. Send the original white 

(Amana) copy of the tag, the yellow and pink 

(Distributor) copy of the tag along with the replaced 

defrost control to the distributor. 



and send to Warranty Administration at Amana, Iowa. Distributor will enclose the yellow copy of the PRF with the 

defrost control and ship to Amana, Iowa. 

Upon receipt of the defrost control and proper documentation at Amana, Iowa, part credit will be issued to the distributor 

and labor credit directly to the servicer. (Labor or part credit will not be issued until defrost controls are received at 

Amana, Iowa.) In the event the dealer is not set up as an authorized servicer, labor will be issued to the distributor (at 

the distributors rate) to pass along to the dealer.




SUBJECT: TXV Sensing Bulb Clamps 


NO: CAG-406-B 

Over the next few months Amana will be changing from the traditional style TXV sensing bulb clamps to a machine 

applied clamp system on Amana remote heat-pumps and TXV coils. The new clamping system provides a more 

consistent and secure method of mounting the TXV sensing bulb. 

As a convenience to our servicers, Amana will ship the traditional style (adjustable) clamp inside the literature packet 

on all indoor coils, should the sensing bulb need to be moved for installation or servicing. Remote heat pumps will not 

be shipped with extra clamps. Amana has also released the traditional style (adjustable) clamp as a service part. The 

Amana part number is 20151801 (TXV Bulb Strap Assy), which includes screws and nuts needed for installation. We 

recommend servicers maintain a small inventory of these clamp assemblies for service usage. 

This clamp assembly is included in service replacement TXVs and sales accessories TXV kits. 

Installation Notes 

When installing a TXV coil, it is imperative that precautions are taken to protect the valve from damage due to 

excessive heat. Temperatures of 250°F or greater at the valve or sensing bulb may damage the power head or 

cause TXV failure. Amana recommends using a good quality thermal block paste or wrapping the TXV & sensing 

bulb with a wet rag when sweating the coil connections. If neither of these methods are possible at the time of 

installation, the TXV sensing bulb should be removed while heat is being applied. If it becomes necessary to remove 

the sensing bulb from the tube to test the operation of the TXV or to relocate the sensing bulb, the factory clamps may 

be removed with side cutters and replaced with the traditional style sensing bulb clamp.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: RHA__A2B Integrated Defrost Control 



The RHA__A2B heat pumps use a new integrated defrost control, Amana part # 11164401, with many built-in features 

which were optional accessories in previous systems. 

Short cycle protection - The 11164401 integrated defrost control includes short cycle protection. A five minute lockout 

will occur when the 24 VAC power to the contactor is removed by the thermostat demand cycling off or by the 

opening of a pressure switch. During the lockout time both LED's will flash alternately. After 5 minutes and with all 

pressure switches closed, both LED's will flash at the same time, indicating normal operation. 

Pressure switch protection - Pressure switch protection is integrated into the new board, 24 volts from the "Y" terminal 

is routed through the pressure switches (PS 1 & PS 2 terminals). When a pressure switch opens, the contactor 

is locked out for five minutes, during this time LED # 1 is off and LED # 2 is on. After 5 minutes, if the pressure switch 

is closed, normal operation will resume. The RHA__A2B units have a second 30/60 control which bypasses the low 

pressure control at the start of the defrost mode to avoid nuisance tripping of the low pressure switches in this phase 

of the defrost function. 

Three time Lockout Feature - After 3 pressure switch openings within a single heating or cooling cycle, all functions 

will be locked out. LED # 1 stays on and LED # 2 will be off. Lockout is reset by cycling off the thermostat or by 

removing 24 VAC power to the board. NOTE: The Ranco board requires interrupt of 24 VAC to the board to reset. 

Defrost Sequence - The integrated defrost control operates in the same sequence as the RHA__A2A time-temperature 

defrost board (part # C6431001). The board can be field adjusted to either a 30, 60, or 90 minute defrost interval. 

The time interval is determined by the position of the time select jumper which is factory set to the specific unit design. 

The control will default to 90 minutes if the jumper is missing or if the jumper is left in the test position for more than 

5 minutes. 

The board counts the compressor run time in the heating mode after the 30/60 control closes. If the 30/60 control 

opens, the timer will reset. The board will terminate defrost when the 30/60 control opens or after 14 minutes compressor 

run time which ever occurs first. If the thermostat is satisfied during the defrost cycle, timing is suspended, 

the board does not reset. 

NOTE: RHA30 & 36 A2B units are factory set to 30 minutes. It is not recommended to change the defrost times on 

these units. All other models are factory set for 90 minutes and can be adjusted to accommodate local conditions. 

Test Mode - Placing the jumper in the test position will accelerate the timing by a factor of 128. With the 30/60 control 

closed a 90 minute defrost will time out in approximately 42 seconds, a 14 minute defrost will time out in approximately 

7 seconds. If the jumper is in the test position at power up of the board, the jumper will be ignored. To re-enter 

the test mode briefly remove the jumper and replace in test mode.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: Sticking Chatleff Orifices 



Amana has had a few reported cases of the Chatleff orifices sticking on CCA___FSC, FDC, FCC coils and on PGB___C 

series package units produced through November 1996. 

An analysis of returned parts has revealed in some cases the orifice housing was distorted causing the orifice to stick 

in the housing. This can be caused by overtightening of the orifice assembly. The proper torque setting on the orifice 

assembly is 12-14 ft/lbs. Another cause of sticking orifices is the use of pliers, channel lock pliers or pipe wrenches to 

tighten the orifice assembly. This type of wrench causes the housing to become distorted and creates a sticking orifice 

condition. 

Note: Care must be taken when installing the new orifice not to over torque the assembly. The orifice assembly 

torque is to be 12-14 ft/lbs. Chatleff warns against the use of channel lock pliers in the field which has 

been the source of problems with other customers. 

Starting with November 1996 production (9611) Chatleff enlarged the internal diameter slightly on the orifice housing 

to help prevent this condition. If a sticking orifice condition is encountered, the best option is to replace the orifice. In 

many situations, this will be all that is required to correct the problem. 

Note: Anytime the orifice housing is opened and reassembled the teflon seal inside the housing will need to 

be replaced. 

If the replacement orifice also appears to hang up when it is inserted into the housing then it will be necessary to 

replace the distributor assembly. If you are uncomfortable soldering in the new distributor tubes, then it will be necessary 

to replace the coil assembly.




SUBJECT: SUBJECT: Field Insulation of A-Coil Drain Pans 



It has recently come to our attention that occasionally the drain pans of indoor coils are coated with various types of 

insulating material to prevent drain pan sweating. One product we have been asked to review is a product called "No 

Sweat". 

First and most importantly, "No Sweat" contains (Methylene Chloride). The use of any product containing Methylene 

Chloride has been banned by Raytheon. Overexposure to Methylene Chloride can raise the level of carbon monoxide 

in the blood causing cardiovascular stress, and it is listed as a potential carcinogen by IARC. Therefore, the insulation 

can not be applied to the drain pans at Amana and should not be used as a field fix for the drain pan sweat issue. An 

alternate insulation without Methylene Chloride has not yet been identified. 

Amana does not recommend the use of "No Sweat" in any installation that provides heat in the home. When the unit 

is in the cooling mode, the spray insulation is stable. When the unit is in the heating mode, hazardous fumes can be 

released from the insulation into the airstream. The recommended use of "No Sweat" is for cold surfaces only. 

The most common cause of drain pan sweating is due to improper draining or insufficient airflow. Improper draining is 

caused by an unlevel unit or an improper drain trap causing condensate to "stand" in the drain pan, thereby lowering 

the pan temperature below the dew point. The drain trap should be per the Installation Instructions and the entire drain 

system should be carefully inspected to ensure that no other "traps" exist anywhere in the drain system. 

The unit airflow should be carefully measured to ensure that the airflow is a minimum of 350 cfm/ton, and that the 

return air configuration is such that we have even air distribution across both sides of the A-Coil.



TO: TO: All Service and Parts Managers DATE: January 15, 1997 

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: BBA/BBC Blower Run-on 



Some combinations of thermostats and equipment can, with the BBA/BBC Blower cabinets allow enough voltage bleed 

through on the cooling anticipator to allow a blower run-on condition. Our research indicates this condition occurs more 

often when a non-Amana thermostat is used in conjunction with a BBA or BBC blower. 

To prevent this condition, all units manufactured after 9/6/96 (Serial prefix 9609 and later) have a bleed resistor Amana 

Part # M0305208 installed on the control board between the Y and C terminals. The control board is being revised to 

include the resistor in the control board on later units.. 

Units in the field manufactured prior to 9/6/96 (Serial prefix 9608 and prior) which experience a thermostat related fan 

run-on condition may be corrected by adding a bleed resistor (Amana Part # M0305208) as shown below. The resistor 

is a 240 Ohm 5 watt resistor which could be purchased locally if necessary.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: Condenser Fan Noise on Package Gas / Electric Units 


Amana has received a few reported cases of objectionable sound or vibration from the condenser fan assembly on the 

new style package units (PGB__D, PGD__E Series). This noise is the result of vibrations from the fan assembly being 

transmitted to the chassis assembly. 

To prevent this condition, all units manufactured after 10/25/96 will have isolator grommets installed under the fan 

motor. 

The Amana part number for the isolator grommet and lock nut is as follows: 

Amana Part# Description 

20042801 GROMMET - ISLR 

M0280801 NUT - HEX 

Field units which produce objectional noise levels may be corrected by adding one grommet and lock nut on to each 

of the four motor studs. 

NOTE: The lock nut is to be placed above the grommet to prevent the motor studs from bottoming out in the grom-met. 

In addition you will need to lower the fan blade 1/2 to 3/4 “ to compensate for the change in height.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: RHA and RHE Loss of Charge Controls 



RHA and RHE model remote heat pumps have a low pressure switch installed in the suction line which acts as a loss 

of charge control. This control will open on a severe loss of refrigerant to prevent the low side of the system from being 

drawn into a vacuum and therefore drawing contaminates into the sealed system. 

Through our testing, Amana has discovered in some situations the low side pressure can drop low enough at the 

beginning of the defrost cycle to cause the pressure switch to open. This in turn will cause the short cycle protector to 

open, locking the compressor out for 3 minutes on RHE models. RHA models have a feature built into the defrost 

control to prevent repeated cycling of the pressure switch. On these models if the pressure switch opens 3 times during 

a single thermostat call, the defrost control will put the unit into lockout, requiring the thermostat to be reset. This is 

similar to an ignition control lockout on a furnace. 

To prevent this condition, Amana has released the following two service kits. 

Service Kit Used On 

20037801 RHE30-60A2A 

20037901 RHA24-48A2B 

On RHE models we have modified the low pressure control wiring to remove the control from the circuit during the 

defrost cycle. This modification is simply moving the YL-1 wire (this wire runs from terminal 11 on the defrost control, 

to "Y" on the low volt terminal board) from the "Y" terminal on the low voltage terminal strip, to the crimp nut (wire nut) 

connecting the high and low pressure switches together. This kit contains a new wiring diagram for the unit, a replacement 

crimp nut, and instructions. 

All RHE30 - 60A2A model heat pumps produced through August 1996 (serial # prefix 9608) and shipped from Fayetteville 

prior to August 20, 1996 will require kit# 20037801. Units manufactured 9608 and prior, but shipped from Fayetteville 

after August 20, 1996 will have the wiring modification from the factory. These units can be identified by the pink dot 

on the bar code label. 

RHA models require a pressure switch thermostat to be placed in parallel with the low pressure control. This kit 

contains a new wiring diagram for the unit, thermostat, a set of rabbit ear terminals for connecting the low pressure 

switch and thermostat to the defrost control and instructions. 

RHA24-48A2B model heat pumps produced through August 1996 (serial # prefix 9608) and shipped from Fayetteville 

prior to September 1, 1996 will require kit# 20037901. Units manufactured 9608 and prior, but shipped from Fayetteville 

after September 1, 1996 will have the pressure control thermostat installed from the factory. These units can be 

identified by the yellow dot on the bar code label. RHA24&30A2B units produced in early August (serial # prefix 9608) 

and shipped prior to September 1,1996 will have the low pressure control thermostat installed, these units however 

may not have the correct wiring diagram on the unit showing the thermostat installed. If this wiring diagram is required 

it may be ordered by part number 20033201.


If the RHE Low Pressure Control Wiring Kit, Amana part number 20037801 is installed on RHE30 - 60A2A model 

heat pumps with serial numbers prefixes of 9608 and prior, Amana will provide labor as described below. Units 

manufactured 9608 and prior, shipped after 8/20/96, will have the wiring modification from the factory. These units can 

be identified by the pink dot on the bar code label. 

Or if the RHA Low Pressure Control Wiring Kit, Amana part number 20037901 is installed on RHA24 - 48A2B 

model heat pumps with serial numbers prefixes of 9608 and prior, Amana will provide labor as described below. Units

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: Insulation Support on BBA/BBC Blower Cabinets 


Amana has had a few reported cases of the insulation pulling loose on the BBA and BBC blower cabinets. In some 

cases the insulation has been pulled against the side of the blower housing causing a reduction in airflow. This 

condition is most susceptible in units installed in the horizontal position. 

To prevent this condition Amana has added an Insulation Support to all BBA and BBC models manufactured with a 

serial number prefix of 9512 and later. Two Insulation Supports are required for each unit. The Insulation Support part 

numbers are as follows: 

Amana Part# Where Used 

11157901 BBA24-48 and BBC36 

11157902 BBA60 and BBC60 

Units manufactured 9511 and prior, and shipped from Fayetteville after 6/1/96, will have the insulation support installed 

from the factory. Any unit currently being installed should have the insulation support added if not installed from 

the factory.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: RCB48A_B & RCC48A_B Discharge Line Vibration 

NO: NO: NO: CAG-398-B 

Under certain conditions, the discharge line from the compressor may vibrate excessively, this in turn creates a 

vibration sound that is transmitted throughout the cabinet. Under extreme conditions this vibration may be of enough 

magnitude to, in time, crack the discharge line. 

To correct this condition Amana is releasing a Discharge Tube Clamp Kit, Amana part number R0157543. This kit 

consists of a bracket and tube clamps to secure the discharge line to the condenser coil header plate. This kit also 

includes gasket material to isolate the condenser grille from the unit top to further reduce the potential for vibration or 

noise. 

In some installations, due to the type of pad the unit is setting on, some sound may still be transmitted through the pad. 

Much of this sound can be eliminated by removal of the compressor hold-down bolts, which are only required for 

shipping. The removal of these bolts will not constitute a problem on a properly installed unit. 

Amana is recommending all RCB48A_B & RCC48A_B units with a serial number prefix of 9606 and prior have the 

Discharge Tube Clamp Kit installed. Units manufactured prior to 9606 and shipped from Fayetteville after July 1, 1996 

will have the clamp kit installed from the factory. 


If the Discharge Tube Clamp Kit, Amana part number R0157543 is installed on RCB48A_B & RCC48A_B units with 

serial numbers prefixes of 9606 and prior, Amana will provide labor as described below. Units manufactured 9606 and 

prior, shipped after 7/1/96, will have the clamp kit installed from the factory. These units can be identified by the green 

dot on the bar code label. 




Amana will pay $18.00/unit labor to install the clamp kit on inventory/stock units in Distributor inventories. Complete a 

PRF (Parts Return Form) marked "Discharge Tube Clamp Kit/Project 8417" and list model, manufacturing and 

serial number of units on which the clamp kit was installed. 


Amana will pay $30.00/unit labor to install the clamp kit on inventory/stock units in dealer inventory. Labor for installing 

the clamp kit on installed units will be issued at class "A" in home service rates. A warranty tag (A173-9) must be 

completed for each unit serviced which is in Dealer inventory or installed. Send the original white (Amana) copy of the 

tag, the yellow and pink (Distributor) copy of the tag to the distributor.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: Heater Kit Wiring EHK__A 


NO: CAG-397-B 

It has been found that some of the EHK__A heater kits manufactured in March and April of 1996, used in the BHA 

series air handlers were wired incorrectly. 

Please check your inventory for any EHK__A series heater kits with 9603 or 9604 date codes. All EHK__A heater kits 

with these date codes should be checked for possible incorrect wiring. 

To check the wiring of the heater kit hold the molex connector in your hand looking at the wire end (see figure 1) of the 

connector, orient the connector with the locator to the top left as shown below (figure 2). The pins are numbered from 

right to left and top to bottom. Verify the correct connections by the attached chart (figure 3). 

The pins can be easily removed from the connectors by sliding a pin extractor tool over the pins to release the locking 

tabs, then gently pulling the wire/pin from the back of the connector. The wire/pin can then be pushed into their proper 

locations. Be certain to push the pins in far enough that the locking pins engage in the molex connector, check by 

pulling gently on the wire. If a pin extractor is not available, a ball point pen cartridge works quite well. You may have 

to swedge the end of the pen cartridge slightly to allow it to fit over the end of the pin. 

The wiring can either be corrected at the distributor/dealer inventory or the heater kit may be returned to Fayetteville 

for rework. If you wish to return defective EHK__A heater kits for factory rework, please contact order services at 

800-435-5405 with a list of model numbers and quantities for a return authorization.

SUBJECT: BCA/BHA Model Blower Coils Installed in Horizontal Right Position 

NO: CAG-396 

When converting BCA/BHA model blower coils to operate in horizontal right position, an additional gasket strip must 

be installed on the plastic A-coil drain pan to prevent air and condensate leakage into the blower section. A service kit 

has been created, part number 1210201A which provides material and instructions for adding a gasket to units installed 

in the horizontal right position. 

BCA/BHA model blower coils presently installed in the horizontal right position should be inspected for condensate 

leakage and, if required, the gasket must be installed. This gasket, along with an addendum to the installations 

instructions for adding this gasket in horizontal right applications will be supplied with all BCA/BHA model blower coils 

shipped from Amana Fayetteville after September 15, 1995. 

The gasket must be positioned above the slot in the plastic drain pan, and aligned so that the gasket wraps around the 

front and back of the pan approximately 5". With the "A" coil in horizontal right, and the horizontal drip pan positioned 

beneath the "A" coil as shown below (also see figure 4A of the installation instructions), the gasket must be sandwiched 

between the coil drain pan and the horizontal drip pan.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: BBA Model Blower Cabinet Control Boards 


NO: NO: CAG-395 

The control board part number 11074201, used on the BBA model 2 piece blower cabinets have a feature referred to 

as "Minimum Supply Air Temperature". Another description of this feature could be "Electric Heat Lockout", because 

electric heat is locked out on a "W2" call if the supply air temperature is above the Minimum Supply Air Temperature 

setting. This feature is only used when the BBA is used as the air handler in a heat pump system with electric heat. This 

feature allows the installer to set the minimum supply air temperature at either 85°, 90°, 95°, or 100°F, thus eliminating 

the need for an outdoor thermostat. Electric heat will be locked out as long as the heat pump satisfies the minimum supply 

air temperature. 

The electric heat lockout setting (minimum supply air) should be selected based upon customer comfort and/or local 

utility requirements. The following chart taken from the installation instructions shows the relationship between minimum 

supply air and outdoor temperature. If you would normally set an ATK or outdoor thermostat to 25°F, then the minimum 

supply air setting would be 90°F. This control is set at 90°F as shipped from the factory. 

Temperature (°F) 

Minimum Supply Outdoor 

85 15 

90 25 

95 35 

100 45 

Two conditions must exist for backup electric heat to be activated: 

1. There is a "W2" call, and 

2. The thermistor is sensing temperatures below the Minimum Supply Set Point with the heat pump in operation. 

If the heat pump cycle fails to satisfy first stage heat, and the thermostat switches to "W2", the board shifts to integrated 

heating operation. In this mode the unit will operate just like the electric heater only operation except that the initial 

minimum supply air for the heat pump cycle plus the electric heaters will be 105°F. 

Control boards part number 11074201, used on BBA models with serial number prefix of 9508 and prior, and having 

a date code on the logic chip of 8/9/95 and prior, were not correctly programmed and the adjustable minimum supply 

air temperature settings are not functioning. This control will provide a minimum supply air temperature of 85°F 

regardless of the setting selected. Again, this feature is only activated when used with a heat pump outdoor unit, electric 

heat will still come on when the supply air drops below 85°F with a "W2" call as described above. 

If there is a complaint of low supply air temperature during a "W2" call, and the electric heat is locked out due to the 85°F 

minimum supply air temperature setting, the control board will need to be replaced.


If a control board part number 11074201 is replaced due to a customer comfort complaint, Amana will allow a class "A" 

in home service rate for replacement of the control board on units with serial number prefixes of 9508 and prior and 

shipped from Amana Fayetteville prior to August 22, 1995. All BBA's shipped after August 22, 1995 will have the 

updated control board. These units can be identified by the blue dot on the carton adjacent to the bar code label. Also 

control boards showing a date code of 8/10/95 and later will be the updated control.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: Restrictor Orifices used with CCHxxFCC Horizontal Coils, BHAA-F & ABCH-MBM Blower Coils, and 

ACFH-AUM "A" Coils. 

We have received several complaints of poor cooling operation or floodback on systems using the CCHxxFCC horizontal 

coils. Our investigation has discovered that the CCH coils, serial numbers 9507 and prior, were built with the old flow 

control housing used on the BHAA-F & ABCH-MBM Blower Coils, and ACFH-AUM "A" Coils. When this housing is used 

with the nonreversible style restrictor orifices used with the RCx/RHx units and ROK01A restrictor orifice kit, the restrictor 

does not fully seat in the housing. This essentially gives the effect of having too large an orifice installed. 

Restrictor orifices used in the indoor sections listed above must be selected from the following table and are available 

from the service parts department. Refer to the outdoor unit specification sheet or the CCH installation instructions for 

proper orifice size for matching to the outdoor unit. CCH coils are shipped with the orifice for the matched RCB 

condensing unit. When mixmatching it is necessary to choose the correct orifice size for the outdoor section being 

installed.

An alternative to ordering the orifices above is to file off the tab on the end of each of the 3 orifice flutes (do not file off the 

flutes themselves) as shown in the following illustration. Once this is done there is no difference between the B14438 series 

orifice used in the RCx/RHx units and ROK01A kit, and the 100172 series orifices listed above. 

Aero-Quip Housing & Restrictor Orifice

CCH coils produced 9508 and later will have the nonreversible style flow control housing (as used in the CCAxxFUA's 

and BHAxxFA's) installed and will use the B14438xx series orifices (as used in the ROK01A orifice kit). 

BHAA-F & ABCH-MBM Blower Coils, or ACFH-AUM "A" coils were not rated with the current RCx/RHx outdoor units 

because they do not meet the minimum 10 SEER requirement. These indoor sections used the 100172xx series orifice 

and the same housing that was used with CCHxxFCC coils of 9507 and prior. If the B14438 series orifice was used from

the RCx/RHx or the ROK01A kit, the orifice must be corrected as described above. 

The restrictor orifice must be replaced or filed as described above on all CCH horizontal coils shipped from Amana 

Fayetteville prior to August 1, 1995. CCH coils with serial numbers of 9507 and prior, and shipped from Fayetteville after 

August 1, 1995 will have the 100172 style orifice installed for the matching RCB outdoor unit. These units can be identified 

by the blue dot adjacent to the bar code label. Amana will provide a labor allowance as described below when replacing 

or filing the orifice on systems installed prior to October 1, 1995. 


If the restrictor orifice is replaced or filed on installed systems using the CCH horizontal coils with serial number prefix of 

9507 or prior, Amana will allow labor on systems installed prior to October 1, 1995 under the DOA policy described in the 

distributor/branch policy book.

Upon receipt of proper documentation, part credit will be issued to the distributor/branch (if the orifice was replaced). The 

labor credit, along with refrigerant, and refrigerant recapture allowances will be issued to the authorized servicer. In the 

event the servicer is not set up on an authorized service agreement, the allowance will be issued to the distributor/branch 

per their labor rate, to pass on to the servicer.

Amana part number 10641502 liquid line filter driers, shipped loose with RCB/RCE36 through 60 models built during 

April and May 1995 (9504 & 9505), may contain pinhole leaks in the manufacturers weld joint of the drier. 

Although the percentage of leaking driers is very small, about 1% to 2%, Amana is recommending driers on uninstalled 

units be replaced before installation to reduce the potential for call backs. These driers must be returned to the Amana 

Branch or Distributor for warranty credit, and replacement driers ordered for installation with the unit. 

It is also recommended that the driers on installed product be leak checked and replaced if found to be leaking at the 

drier weld joint. Labor allowance will be provided only when replacing leaking driers on the above listed product. 


If a drier on a installed unit is found to be leaking due to the drier weld joint, Amana will allow labor under the DOA policy

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: RHA/RHD Sticking and/or Noisy Check Valves 


Amana has received a few reports of RHA/RHD remote heat pumps pulling very low suction pressures on initial startup. 

We have discovered this condition to be due to flux entering the check valve during manufacturing. In the soldering 

process this flux hardens causing the check valve to stick. This condition is primarily limited to the lower, straight through 

check valve at the condenser coil (subcooling loop in the cooling cycle). 

In most cases this condition can be corrected by switching the unit from cooling to heating several time while taping on 

the check valve body. Once the check valve sticking has been corrected the flux will pose no further problems. 

A second condition can exist, primarily on the RHA36's. This condition is a check valve chatter, or hammer, primarily 

heard on startup or shutdown of the unit, and may last for several seconds. This condition also is primarily limited to the 

lower, straight through check valve at the condenser coil. RHA36's with serial numbers of 9505 and later will have a 

spring loaded check valve installed to prevent this condition. 

To correct the chattering check valve condition, or if you are unable to free up a sticking check valve, the check valve 

must be replaced. The following is a list of spring loaded check valves that can be used for replacements in the 

subcooling circuit. 

1209201A Universal check valve kit. This kit has all the components necessary to replace the subcooling circuit check

SUBJECT: RHD Defrost Control Boards 

NO: NO: CAG-390A-B 

SUPERSEDES SUPERSEDES CAG-390 

Under certain conditions, the Paragon adaptive defrost control used in the RHD model heat pumps may not defrost as 

expected. This condition can be the result of electrical interference which can, in some cases, cause the board to 

temporarily lockup. If this lockup condition is occurring, the control will fail to initiate defrost or to self test. 

To correct this condition Paragon has released a new defrost control Amana part number 10865004. This board has 

several software changes to prevent control lockup as described above. To reduce the possible perception of improper 

operation due to heavy frost, two additional software changes have been made in the -04 control. These changes 

include a maximum defrost interval of 3 hours rather than the 6 hour defrost interval used on previous controls. Also, 

if the defrost sensor remains open for 6 hours or longer, the control resets itself to a 90 minutes defrost interval. This 

means that after the defrost sensor closes the next defrost will be in 90 minutes, subsequent defrosts will be adaptive. 

The 10865004 defrost control was released in January 1996 to correct the electrical interference condition. This 

control has performed very well with no failures in our quality testing and field evaluations. This control has been used 

for service parts since January and in production units with date codes beginning 9601. In our continuing effort to 

improve quality and reliability we have made additional improvements to the control thus creating a new control part 

number 10865005. These changes will enhanse the controls ability to adjust the optimum defrost time as required. 

This is a running change to the control, there is no need to replace -04 defrost controls. 

It is important to remember when using the test terminals to initiate a defrost, it may take up to two minutes before the 

unit goes into defrost, (1 sec. test time = 3 mins. run time) and the 30/60 must be closed or jumpered. For additional 

information on defrost control operation or troubleshooting, refer to the RHA/RHD service manual. 

Adaptive defrost controls are designed to reduce the frequency of defrosts thus improving the operational efficiency 

and reliability of the unit. It is normal to see a greater frost build up on these units than with time temperature defrost 

controls. The additional frost accumulation does not decrease the overall efficiency or performance of the unit. 

NOTE: TO PREVENT POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE DEFROST CONTROL, 24VAC MUST BE DISCONNECTED 

BEFORE CHANGING THE DEFROST CONTROL. 



If the defrost control (10865001, -02, or -03) on RHD model heat pumps, is replaced with a Paragon 10865004 or -05 

Adaptive defrost control or the C6431001 time temperature defrost control (used on RHA model heat pumps) on units 

with serial numbers prefixes of 9512 and prior, Amana will provide labor to replace the defrost controls as described 

below. RHD's manufactured 9601 & 9602 will have the revised 10865004 defrost control installed, 9603 and later 

production will use the 10865005 control. Units manufactured 9512 and prior, shipped after 3/8/96, will have the 

revised defrost control installed from the factory. These units can be identified by the orange dot on the carton adjacent 

to the bar code label.

It is Amana's desire to have only the latest defrost control available as service replacement parts. Based on this we 

request any remaining inventory of the 10865001, -02, -03 or -04 defrost control boards be returned for credit. Any 

remaining inventory/stock units using the 10865001, -02 or -03 should have the defrost control replaced prior to 

installation. There is no need to replace the -04 defrost control on inventory stock or installed units.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: BCA wiring harness. 



In making the EHK heater kits compatible with the new BCA/BHA blower cabinets, and to make the heater kits easier 

to install it has been necessary to make changes to the electrical harness used in the EHK heater kits. Due to these 

changes it will be necessary, if electric heat is desired, to replace the BCA blower coil wiring harness in models with serial 

number of 9404 and prior. 

These same models also have incorrect Maximum Overcurrent Device ratings listed for the EHK heater kits on the unit 

serial plate. The correct minimum circuit ampacity (MCA) and maximum overcurrent protection device (MOP) are as 

listed below. These ratings, as listed below, have been approved by Underwriters Laboratories.

SUBJECT: Ranco Replacement 4-Way Reversing Valves 

NO: CAG-384 

Ranco 3-way reversing valves are being replaced with Ranco's 4-way valve design. The reversing valve tubing 

connections are unchanged, thus eliminating the need for tubing modifications. The 4-way valves feature fewer internal 

parts, allowing for a simpler and more efficient valve design. The solenoid coils are color coded for easy identification, 

and use a plug in wiring harness to simplify installation. 

The solenoid coils for the 4-way valves are not interchangeable with the 3-way design. Therefore, service kits as shown 

below have been set up as service replacements when a reversing valve change is required. These kits come with a 

reversing valve, solenoid coil, and wiring harness. 

To order the proper Reversing Valve Kit, it will be necessary to know the coil voltage of the unit you are servicing. All 

ZRHF and SRHF-B models use a 24V solenoid coil, while SRHF-A and all prior remote and all package heat pumps to 

date use a 240V solenoid coil. 

When ordering, determine the valve and coil voltage of the reversing valve to be replaced, then: 

Þ Find the valve to be replaced in the column on the left. 

Þ Read to the right and find the coil voltage for your unit.

SUBJECT: Scroll Compressor Hard Start Kits 


NO: CAG-383

Glenwood/Sunray 

Some reports have been received regarding hard starting Scroll compressors. These reports are generally associated 

with installations in areas that are unable to maintain minimum voltage to the compressor during starting, or installations 

where liquid floodback during the off cycle causes a flooded start condition. 

Scroll compressors used by Amana are rated at 208/230 volts. The compressor operating range is from 230 V. + 10% 

= 253V., to a minimum of 208 V. - 5% = 197 V.. During start-up, the voltage can drop 10 - 15 volts due to high start-up 

current draw. This can especially be true with the large scroll compressors which draw 20 more lock rotor amps than a 

comparable reciprocating compressor. Units should not be operated where the lock rotor voltage is less than 197 volts. 

If low voltage is the problem, contact the local power company and request them to correct the power supply. 

Although a Hard Start Kit is not the answer to a low voltage condition, it will improve the compressor's ability to start. 

Therefore, Amana has released two accessory Hard Start Kits that may be used with units using scroll compressors. These 

accessory kits are available as follows:

SUBJECT: Package Unit Sound Reduction Kits for 3 1/2 to 5 ton Package Units 

NO: CAG-382A 

Replaces CAG-382 

Some complaints have been received of noisy or vibrating tops on Amana Package units. This noise is sometimes 

transmitted into the structure and may be described as a droning or humming noise. Other times abnormal vibration or 

movement may be seen in the condenser fan blade or motor. This movement may be caused by an out-of-balance fan 

blade, or a weak or broken fan grille. If not corrected abnormal vibration can lead to premature motor failure. 

In many cases replacement of the fan blade only as listed below will correct the condition described above. If replacement 

of the fan blade alone is not sufficient, three (3) kits have been developed containing a new raised condenser fan grille, 

steel fan orifice, and a four (4) bladed condenser fan. These parts stiffen the unit's top panel and reduce vibration of the 

top panel and condenser divider panel. Units produced with serial numbers beginning 9309 and later will use these parts 

in production.

SUPERSEDES CAG-381 

Service replacement "A" Coil assemblies are now available through the parts department to replace "A" coils no longer 

supplied through the sales department. These coils are complete heat pump "A" Coil assemblies containing the expansion 

and check valve assemblies for direct replacement into the A Coils and Blower Cabinets listed below. NOTE: These 

coils will function correctly in A/C applications as well 

as heat pump applications. In applications where the 

outdoor unit has a recripocating compressor without a 

hardstart device, a hardstart kit will have to be added. 

In some cases the replacement "A" Coil may be larger 

than the original coil which was removed from some 

cooling only blower cabinets. This should not be a 

reason for concern, and in some cases this may improve 

performance. 

Replacement "A" Coil assemblies are as noted right: 

WARNING 

To prevent compressor damage a Hard Start Kit

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: Evaporator Coil Condensate Drippage on 3 1/2, 4, & 5 Ton Package Units 

Amana package units installed with down shot duct work may under some conditions experience condensate dripping from 

the evaporator coil. If this condition occurs, an auxiliary drip pan kit listed below may be installed to contain the condensate 

drippage. 

The models where this condition is possible are: 

PGA/PGB/SPCG 42, 48, and, 60 

PCA/PCB/SPCO 42, 48, and, 60 

PHA/SPHO 42, 48, and, 60 

The new kits available are: 

R0194680 Drip Pan with Instructions only 

R0194681 Drip Pan with Internally installed Air Filter 

If this condition is observed on "B" series package units (PGA42B1152A) that have the optional internally installed air filter, 

a replacement air filter will also be needed. When installing the drip pan on units requiring the internally installed filter, 

the R0194681 drip pan should be ordered. If this condition is seen on any other of the models listed above use the 

R0194680 kit. Neither kit can be installed on units where the PECE5A economizer has been installed. 

Before installing the drip pan the coil should be inspected to ensure that it is clean and free of grease and lint that may 

cause the coil to drip condensate. The return air duct system should also be inspected to determine that adequate return 

air filter(s) are in place, and are clean. 

Where required Amana will provide a class "A" in home service rate for installation of drip pans that are installed in 

response to condensate dripping complaints.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: SPCG Nuisance Auxiliary Limit Trips 


Nuisance tripping of the auxiliary limit control located on the evaporator blower housing can occur in areas that 

suffer frequent power outages. If an outage of five (5) minutes or more occurs during the initial heat-up period prior 

to the air circulation blower starting, tube temperatures will be at their highest and car cause the limit to trip due to 

the residual heat from the heat exchanger. 

To prevent these nuisances limit trips, we have released new higher temperature auxiliary limit controls. These new 

controls should be available by late October 1990. The SPCG48135 and SPCG60135 will require relocating the new 

limit control to the 9 o'clock position on the blower housing (90°CCW from straightup). The hole in the blower 

housing is already provided for relocating the limit control. All other models require a control change only.

LETTER 

LETTER 

On occasion the question wilt arise about what size Filter Dryer to use on a specific system. To clarify this, refer to the 

attached charts to order the proper filter dryer for the system in question. 

STANDARD BEAD/DESICCANT & SOLID CORE DRYERS: 

An equal or larger filter dryer may be used in either the bead/desiccant style or the solid core type for a specific system. 

EXAMPLE: ARHF30D requires a 5 cu. in. filter dryer (B1278303). The S cu. in. filter dryer may be used in either the bead/ 

desiccant style or the solid core type or an 8 cu. in. filter dryer may be used in either style (providing it physically fits). 

The only requirements are: a) These filter dryers can not be used in a biffow application, b) If these filter dryers are 

installed in the liquid line outside the unit, the old filter dryer must be removed from the system and a section of tube 

installed in place of it. This is because the old filter dryer may contain contaminants that would restrict the flow of 

refrigerant in the system. 

NOTES 1. The Bi-Flow filter dryers shown on the attached page are only to be used in the SPHO 

units. 

2. The suction line clean up kit must be installed with a new compressor in those systems that have 

had a compressor burn out. 

Filter dryers are not shipped with a service replacement compressor because of the many different applications for each 

compressor and filter dryer (per the attached chart). 

To receive in-warranty or Asure· reimbursement, the Amana filter dryer/strainer must be replaced when service is

SUBJECT: Potential Safety Problem in Field Service of ZRCF Remote Condensing Units using the Copeland 

ScrollCompressor 

TO AVOID FIRE AND/OR SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, REFRIGERANT MUST BE EVACUATED FROM BOTH THE 

HiGH SIDE AND LOW SIDE OF THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM BEFORE A BRAZING TORCH IS APPUED TO 

REFRIGERANT TUBING ON ALL ZRCF REMOTE CONDENSING UNITS USING THE COPELAND SCROLL 

COMPRESSOR. IF YOU ARE UNCERTAIN OF ANY DETAIL OF THIS PROCEDURE, STOP AND CALL YOUR 

DISTRIBUTOR FOR INSTRUCTION. 

The attached notification from Copeland advises of a potential safety problem when repairing scroll condensing unit 

sealed systems. 'If the refrigerant charge is removed from a scroll condensing unit by bleeding the high side only, it may 

be possible for the scroll flanks to seal, preventing pressure equalfzation through the compressor. This may leave the 

Iow side shell and suction line tubing pressurized. IF A BRAZING TORCH IS THEN APPLIED TO THE LOW SIDE 

WHILE THE LOW SIDE SHELL AND SUCTION LINE ARE UNDER PRESSURE, THE PRESSURIZED REFRIGER- 

ANT AND OIL MIXTURE COULD IGNITE WHEN IT ESCAPES FROM THE SUCTION LINE AND CONTACTS THE 

BRAZING TORCH FLAME. THIS COULD RESULT IN A FIRE AND/OR SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY.' 

Although the attached Copeland notice is directed towards manufacturing operations, it is important that all field service 

operations be aware of the potential hazard which can occur on any sealed refrigeration system with any type of 

compressor where both the high and Iow sides are not opened or evacuated prior to applying a brazing torch flame. 

The following review is made of the standard refrigeration repair practice contained in Amana service manuals: 

ALWAYS REMOVE OR RELEASE THE REFRIGERANT CHARGE BEFORE APPLYING HEAT TO THE SYSTEM. 

1. Never open a system that is under vacuum. Air and moisture will be drawn in. 

2. Plug or cap all openings.

TO: OEM Scroll Customers 


It has come to our attention that a potential safety problem may occur when scroll condensing units are repaired on 

a production line. 

When the refrigerant charge is removed from a scroll condensing unit by bleeding the hi_~ side only, it may be 

possible for the scroll flanks to seal, preventing pressure equalization through the compressor. This may leave the 

Iow side shell and suction line tubing pressurized. IF A BRAZING TORCH IS THEN APPLIED TO THE LOW SIDE 

WHILE THE LOW SIDE SHELL AND SUCTION LINE ARE UNDER PRESSURE, THE PRESSURIZED REFRIG- 

ERANT AND OIL MIXTURE COULD IGNITE WHEN IT ESCAPES FROM THE SUCTION LINE AND CONTACTS 

THE BRAZING TORCH FLAME. 

THIS THIS COULD COULD RESUL RESULT RESUL T IN IN A A FIRE FIRE AND/OR AND/OR SEVERE SEVERE PERSONAL PERSONAL INJUR INJUR INJURY. INJUR INJUR 

We recommend the following immediate action be taken: 

1. Repair station personnel be notified. 

2. Repair procedures be modified if necessary to remove charge from both the high and Iow side. This will ensure 

pressure equalization. 

3. A safety warning be placed in the immediate view of the repair station operator. The warning should specifically 

warn of the danger and possible fire hazard. 

Copeland is currently studying the problem to determine if design changes can eliminate the problem. We will 

immediately advise you if the situation changes. 

At this time, we do not feel we have a field service issue. It is not customary to bleed systems from the high side 

only. We would also expect most systems, with the possible exception of systems with non-bleed expansion valves 

to equalize through the refrigerant metering device. We are continuing to study the field issue and will advise you 

immediately if our opinion changes.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: Package Units with Condenser Fan Blade Hitting the Fan Orifice 


LETTER 

LETTER 


Some package units manufactured prior to August 1989 (8908) have been determined to contain fan orifices with 

insufficient cure time causing the orifice circumference to distort with a significant change in ambient temperature. This 

results in the condenser fan blade hitting the distorted orifice. 

Should you experience a condenser fan blade hitting the orifice you may do either one of two repairs to fix the problem. 

1. Loosen the set screw on the fan blade and move the blade down no more than one inch (1 ') to prevent the blade 

from hitting. 

2. If the above solution does not resolve the problem 'then a new fan orifice should be ordered, Part Number D9823002 

for the 42, 48, and 60,000 BTUH units and D9823001 for the 24, 30, and 36,000 BTUH units. 

The new fan orifices have been manufactured with sufficient cure time to insure a constant orifice circumference.

PROCEDURE AND THE PROCEDURES WHICH APPEAR IN THE INSTALLATION AND SERVICING INSTRUC- 

TIONS FOR THESE PRODUCTS. IF YOU ARE UNCERTAIN OF ANY DETAIL OF THIS PROCEDURE, STOP AND 

CALL YOUR DISTRIBUTOR FOR INSTRUCTIONS. 

We have been notified by Aeroquip that the subject valve in all Remote Heat Pump and Cooling Systems with Serial 

Numbers beginning 8902 and through and including 8907 has a potential problem. This potential problem is not confined 

to Amana products only. Aeroquip has also supplied these valves to many manufacturers in the industry. 

These liquid line service valves have a condition of an undersized retaining ring in some valves which, in combination 

with certain extreme tolerance conditions, could result in little or no increase in torque resistance occurring when the valve 

stem reaches the retaining ring. This valve stem is to be backed out five (5) turns maximum. Continuing to open the valve 

will result in refrigerant leakage past the valve stem or in a worst case for the stem to blow out and pressurized refrigerant 

to spray out of the system.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: Compressor Start Assist Devices for Amana Models and for General Use, Updated List 

Occasionally a compressor unit will have difficulty starting. If it is a new installation the crankcase heater must be energized 

for four (4) hours prior to a tempting to start the unit. This will allow the refrigerant to boil off from the oil surrounding the 

crank-shaft, assuring that the bearings are properly lubricated, avoiding a flooded start condition. 

Low voltage, slow equalization of high to low side pressures, or a tight compressor are the most common causes for a 

starting problem. 

Compressors that are rated 230/208 V. have an operating range of 253 VAC to 197 VAC. However, during start-up, the 

voltage can drop 10-15 volts due to high start up current draw. Units can not be operated and should not be insta led where 

the su ply voltage exc eds 253 V. or the lock rotor voltage is le s than 197 V. Contact the local power company and request 

a co rection of the su ply voltage. 

Note: Note: Note: Start assist components are not a cure for low voltage applications and will not prevent compressor failure due to 

continuous operation on low voltage supplies. 

System equalization during shut-down is provided by bleed off on capillary systems and on TXV units a "Rapid pressure 

Balancing" type valve may or may not be employed. Applications with non-balancing type TXV's will 

will require start assist. 

Start problems created by a tight fitting compressor will normally be corrected after a run in period and permanent start 

assist is not necessary. 

On those occasions where conditions require adding a permanent start assist, the attached listing of Hard Start Kits are 

available. Field installed Hard Start kits are considered accessory items, and should be purchased as such. 

SOFT SOFT SOFT START START KITS KITS - - Consist of a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) device. They are inexpensive and easy to 

install. However, they only provide about two-thirds the starting torque of a hard start capacitor. Three (3) minutes "cool" 

off time is required to reset. Therefore, they are not recommended for systems exposed to rapid cycling. Since they also 

become very hot, caution must be used when selecting a mounting location or when servicing the unit. Soft Start Devices 

should be used only on units so equipped from the factory. 

HARD HARD START START KITS KITS - Consist of a start capacitor, relay, and instructions. A Water Resistant Box (not water proof) isisisisis 

optional optional optional optional and is available under Amana Part Number R0156693. R0156693. Hard Start Kits provide maximum extra starting torque 

and no reset time is required. However, installation is more involved than a soft start assembly.

SUBJECT: Glycol Replacement for HTM Units 

NO: ERG-75 

We will no longer be stocking the Ethylene or Propylene Glycol solutions for use in the older HTM units (i.e. 

EG, EPCG, EGHW, ERGW, etc.). We will fill orders on the Ethylene (Part # C6358302A – Orange Solution) 

and Propylene Glycol (Part # C6377302A – Yellow Solution) until our service parts inventory is depleted. 

As a replacement solution, we suggest the use of a 50/50 mixture of silicate-free antifreeze and distilled 

water. There may be a minimal loss in heat transfer when using a silicate-free antifreeze in place of previous 

Ethylene or Propylene Glycol solutions. The silicate-free antifreeze suggestion is due to pump seal wear that 

the silicate additive in the conventional antifreeze can cause. Therefore, we do not recommend use of 

conventional antifreeze. 

IMPORTANT: Before adding or replacing any Glycol solution to the system; FIRST, determine the 

type of solution in the system and SECOND, DO NOT mix (Ethylene and Propylene) solutions 

together. 

Mixing the two solutions in the system will cause an interaction; this will create “Sludge” in the 

system, and will make the unit inoperable. Once this “Sludge” has formed in the system, it is nearly 

impossible to get the system cleaned out.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: Installation of Pump Housing Kit, Amana Part Number 10375702, used on EPCG, EGHE60, and EG Units. 

Design requirements in the manufacturing of the pump housing kit ,part number 10375702, does not allow the housing 

to fit over the C6399201 pump seal assembly. The part in the seal assembly that causes this condition is the stainless 

steel retaining disk. (PLEASE NOTE ILLUSTRATION.) 

Amana recommends that when installing the new pump housing that a new pump seal assembly be installed. The 

C6399201 seal assembly can be used by removing the stainless steel retaining disk (NOTE ILLUSTRATION). This is 

possible because Amana uses a impeller that has a full back shroud. This makes the stainless steel retaining disk a 

redundant part that can be removed and discarded. 

A new replacement pump seal assembly, Part Number 10491701, is available and replaces the C6399201 pump seal 

assembly. This new assembly will not have the stainless steel retain!ng disk. 

Please use up your current stock of C6399201 pump seal kits before substitution to the new part number. Current shelf 

stock of seal kits are not to be returned to Amana.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: New Remote HTM & EGHW100 Pump Housing Kit, Part Number 10375701 New EPCG, EGHE60, & 

EG Pump Housing Kit, Part Number 10375702 

A new pump front housing kit is now available containing a redesigned housing with material that is gray in color. The 

new design and material will withstand higher solution temperatures, thereby reducing the potential of failure on units 

operating at the maximum solution temperature. The new gray pump front housing can now be replaced on the existing 

(black) pumps with no interference problem and is available as Part Number 10375701 and 10375702. This eliminates 

the need to use a pump seal kit (or complete pump assembly) when only the pump front housing requires replacement. 

Changing only the pump housing kit, Part No. 10375701 and 10375702, will now qualify for reimbursement under the 

DESP program. The complete pump seal will not be required to be replaced if the housing change is adequate to complete 

the repair. 

The new pump front housing is incorporated in all service replacement assemblies as shown below, with the exception 

of the C6399201 Pump Seal Kit used on the EPCG and EGHE models which is shipped without the front housing included.

To prevent the possible tripping of the above subject units manual reset high limit, the installer should remove the manual 

reset limit and mounting bracket from the old module and reinstall both on the side of the new module using thermal mastic 

between the limit and the curved surface of the side of the module. 

If you used the Combination Igniter/Manual reset limit mounting bracket on the replacement module and if you are 

experiencing this problem on a unit at the present time and no longer have the old limit mounting bracket, remove the 

thermal mastic from the area between the menual reset limit and the flat base surface of the module. This should lower 

the radiant heat sufficiently to allow the unit to perform properly.

SUBJECT: Blower Wheel Noise on Amana® Brand 80% and 90% Gas Furnaces 

NO: GF-179 

We have received reports from the field about a noise-vibration sound on select Amana® brand furnaces. 

The reported sound occurs during high-speed blower operation. Our proactive testing revealed that the 

blower wheel and motor combination have a close harmonic frequency range. 

Depending on various factors combined, a noise-vibration could occur. For those experiencing a noisevibration 

situation, we are recommending a blower wheel change on the models listed below. The existing 

convex style blower wheel will be replaced with a concave style wheel. 

Model numbers AMS80903BNA and AMS80903BXA that experience this condition currently use blower 

wheel Part # B1368016. The recommended blower wheel replacement is Part # B1368058S. 

Model numbers ACS90453BXA, ACS90703BXA, AMS90453BXA, AMS90703BXA, DCS90703BXA, 

DMS90453BXA and DMS90703BXA that experience this condition currently use blower wheel 

Part # D6723302. The recommended blower wheel replacement is Part # B1368058S. 

We are committed to continual quality improvements and are in the process of making this proactive change 

in using this concave style blower wheel in current production models listed above. This change is slated to 

occur in manufacturing May 17, 2005.

SUBJECT: Ramping Profile Dip Switch Settings Incorrect in Installation-Operating Manuals on AMV8, 

ACV9 and AMV9 Gas Furnaces 

The ramping profile dip switch settings in the Installation and Operating Manual for the AMV8* (IO-247) and 

ACV9*/AMV9* (IO-253B) are listed incorrectly. The instructions incorrectly displayed the dip switch just the opposite 

of what it was suppose to be (i.e. OFF switch shown down when it should have been shown up) and some were 

labeled “OFF” when they should have said, “ON”. The charts below show the correct ramping profiles on the left 

side and the wrong one used on the right side. The new Installation and Operating Manual for the AMV8* (IO-247A) 

and ACV9*/AMV9* (IO-253C) should be used.

SUBJECT: ECM Motor Not Ramping Properly on Amana® Brand 80% & 90% Variable 

Speed Gas Furnaces 

There have been reports that the Amana® brand 80% (AMV8*) and 90% (AMV9, ACV9*) variable speed 

ECM motors are not ramping up and down. The ECM motor is operating at 100% fan speed on start up 

and immediately shutting down when the thermostat cycles the unit off. 

We found that the ECM motors, with a date code range (0406 through 0410) had a programming error not 

allowing the motor to ramp properly. 

The following are instructions to correct this condition when using the variable speed gas furnace by itself and 

when using the furnace with a heat pump in a dual fuel application. The ECM motor assembly does not 

need to be replaced. 

(1) Gas Furnace Only. 

Install a jumper wire between the “O” and “Y” terminal on the control board. The “Y” terminal now 

receives the “O” terminals programming instructions, which is the same as “Y”. The ramping profile 

is now activated and will ramp up and down properly. 

Note: In the future, if the gas furnace circuit board is replaced before the ECM end bell is 

replaced, the jumper will need to be installed on the new circuit board to maintain the ramping 

profile. 

(2) Gas Furnace with heat pump (dual fuel application). 

First, the “O” wire from the thermostat and the “O” wire from the heat pump should be connected 

together with a wire nut. DO NOT connect these two “O” wires to the gas furnace circuit board. 

Next, install a jumper wire between the “O” and “Y” terminal on the gas furnace circuit board. The “Y” 

terminal now receives the “O” terminals programming instructions, which is the same as “Y”. The 

ramping profile is now activated and will ramp up and down properly. 


replaced, the jumper will need to be installed on the new gas furnace circuit board to maintain 

the ramping profile.

SUBJECT: Pressure Switch Nuisance Tripping on Amana® brand 90% ACV90* 


We have had a few reports of nuisance pressure switch tripping on Amana® brand 90% 

(ACV9070CXA, ACV90905DXA*) counterflow model furnaces. 

Our investigation of the issue has determined the problem to be due to length of the pressure 

switch hose from the ID Blower to ID Blower Pressure Switch sagging. In order to address this 

issue, we reduced the pressure switch hose length to prevent sagging, which could trap moisture in 

the hose and cause nuisance tripping of the pressure switch. 

The 8” pressure switch hose (Part # B1410311) has been reduced down to a shorter 4” pressure 

switch hose (Part # B1410318), effective November 12, 2004. 

The existing hose can be reduced in length (8” to 4”) by the technician if he encounters a nuisance 

trip of the pressure switch due to sagging hose.

SUBJECT: Reintroduction of White Rodgers “G” Valve on Single Stage Gas Products 

Beginning November 1, 2004 all Amana® brand single stage gas products (furnace and package units) have 

been transitioned from the White-Rodgers "F" series gas valve (Part # B1282614) to the "G" series gas valve. 

The "G" series gas valve (Part # B1282628) incorporates many design enhancements by White-Rodgers. 

The new gas valve takes on a different appearance from the previous "F" series gas valve. The most 

noticeable change being the compact size of the valve along with different methods required for checking 

supply and manifold gas pressures. To check supply or manifold gas pressure, the only requirement is to 

loosen either the inlet or outlet pressure tap screw and attach a hose over the inlet or outlet boss on top of 

the valve. 

The "F" and "G" series valves are directly interchangeable. We will continue to use the "F" valve for service 

until inventory is depleted.

SUBJECT: Use of Existing HCVK and VCVK Concentric Vent Kits 

NO: GF-172 

Concentric Vent Kits HCVK and VCVK are designed to allow the terminations of a direct vent furnace to 

be “concentrically” vented through a wall (HCVK) or roof (VCVK). The Concentric Vent Kit Installation 

Instructions 20239802 Rev.2 references previous Amana® brand furnaces. 

To reduce inventory of existing kits, we are approving the use of the HCVK and VCVK concentric vent kits with the 

current (ACS9, ACV9, AMS9, AMV9, DCS9 and DMS9) Amana® brand furnaces. 

These kits allow a single penetration to support terminations for both the vent/flue pipe and the combustion 

air intake pipe. The HCVK is designed for horizontal, through the wall terminations, while VCVK is designed 

for vertical, through the roof terminations. The appropriate kit must be used for a given termination placement 

(horizontal or vertical). See Installation Instructions 20239802 Rev. 2 for more details.

SUBJECT: DCVK Concentric Vent Kit Instructions 

NO: GF-169 

The installation operating instructions (IO-619B) for the Concentric Vent Kit DCVK-20 and DCVK-30 

have been updated. The correction shown below is an excerpt from the new Installation and Operating 

Instructions. 

Description 

This kit is designed to allow the terminations of a direct vent furnace to be “concentrically” vented 

through a wall or roof. This kit allows a single penetration to support terminations for both the 

vent/flue pipe and the combustion air intake pipe. 

Use this kit and these instructions for installation of the concentric vent termination kit 40” tall 

Goodman ® brand and Amana ® brand condensing furnace models: 

We no longer state a specific model number for a particular brand as we did in the previous IO-619 or the 

IO-619A instructions. It is possible that you have OLD instructions in the existing DCVK kits that were made 

prior to the new instructions. In the future, new instructions will be added to the DCVK kits. 

Local inspectors could question the old instructions that refer to old product model numbers listed when 

installing the new gray 90% furnaces, currently being produced. Presenting the new IO-619B instructions 

should be sufficient for local inspectors. Distributors should assist dealers in acquiring the new instructions 

when requested. 

We made another change to the new IO-619B on page 3, seperating the single stage and two stage furnaces

Copyright © 2003 Goodman Company, L.P. 

NO: GF-166 

Due to the unfortunate flooding experienced by many areas of the nation in recent months, GAMA (Gas 

Appliance Manufacturers Association, Inc.) issued a newsletter addressing the use of appliances after flood 

damage. The following is an excerpt from that GAMA publication and is succeeded by a copy of a press release 

sent out by the CPSC (Consumer Protection Safety Commission) regarding safety tips for flood victims. Note that 

the CPSC flood release advises victims to have their appliances inspected and cleaned after flooding, as well as 

a warning that consumers should replace all gas control valves, circuit breakers, and fuses that have been 

submerged. 

This information is vital to the safe operation of appliances that have been damaged by water. Therefore, please 

read the following carefully and share it with your dealers. 

QUOTE 


Flood-Damaged Appliances Should Be Replaced, Experts Warn. 

Arlington, VA, September 17, 2003 — With Hurricane Isabel bearing down on the east coast of the U.S. and 

bringing with it the possibility of severe flooding, it is important to remember that all flood-damaged plumbing, 

heating, cooling and electrical appliances and related systems should be replaced, rather than repaired. This 

warning was issued today by GAMA, the national trade association representing manufacturers of appliances, 

components and related products used in space heating and water heating, commercial food service and power 

generation. The organization also recommends, that all work on flooded equipment be performed by a qualified 

licensed contractor, not by homeowners. 

The GAMA warning stems from past reports of accidents resulting from improper do-it-yourself repairs of flooddamaged 

appliances. One homeowner, for example, suffered severe burns in a flash fire that occurred when he 

tried to re-light the pilot on his flooded gas water heater. The Association stresses that not only gas equipment is 

at risk, but also units using oil or electricity as the energy source. 

"Controls damaged by flood water are extremely dangerous, "notes GAMA President Evan R. Gaddis. "Attempts 

to use equipment with defective gas or oil control devices can result in fires, flashbacks or explosions. And in the 

case of electric appliances, the result can be injury or even death from a powerful electric shock. "The GAMA 

official noted that devices at risk include water heaters, furnaces, boilers, room heaters and air conditioners. 

The Association stresses that the repair of flooded appliances and related systems (including damaged venting 

and electrical connections) is not a job for the do-it- yourselfer, no matter how skilled. This is particularly true of 

control valves, according to GAMA officials. These components are manufactured to extremely close tolerances. 

Once submerged in floodwater, they must be replaced. Field repairs should never be attempted by the 

homeowner.

Page 2 of 5 

GF-166 

Even when controls appear to be operative, the unit should not be used after floodwaters recede. "It may work for 

a while, "Gaddis explains, "but it will deteriorate over time. It might take a week, a month, or even a year, but 

once any control has been under water, it presents a serious hazard...fire or explosion in the case of gas 

controls, fire or shock in the case of electric equipment." 

Because so many things can go wrong as a result of floodwater, it's usually cheaper, and always safer to replace, 

rather than repair, Gaddis stresses. "You can have a control valve replaced, but there may be damage to other 

parts of the unit, like venting, piping, burners and insulation. There are just so many things that can go wrong, the 

wise choice is always to start over with new equipment, "the GAMA official declared. 

In some instances, government aid may be available to help consumers finance the replacement of flooddamaged 

heating equipment. For information, homeowners should contact any of the offices of the Federal 

Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), set up to help flood victims.

Safety Tips for Flood Victims 

Page 3 of 5 

GF-166 

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends several safety tips to the victims of floods. 

This safety alert illustrates some dangerous practices which consumers may be tempted to engage in during 

efforts to rebuild or while staying in temporary housing, tents, or partially damaged homes. This information is 

provided in an effort to prevent injuries and deaths from consumer products as flood survivors make new 

beginnings. "We hope this information helps prevent product-related injuries and deaths during these difficult 

times." 

- Chairman Ann Brown 

For more disaster-related information or help with emergency preparedness, visit the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA). 

Do not use electrical appliances that have been wet. Water can damage the motors 

in electrical appliances, such as furnaces, freezers, refrigerators, washing machines, 

and dryers. 

If electrical appliances have been under water, have them dried out and reconditioned by a qualified service 

repairman. Do not turn on damaged electrical appliances because the electrical parts can become grounded and 

pose an electric shock hazard or overheat and cause a fire. Before flipping a switch or plugging in an appliance, 

have an electrician check the house wiring and appliance to make sure it is safe to use.

To prevent a gas explosion and fire, have gas appliances (natural gas and LP gas) 

inspected and cleaned after flooding. 

Page 4 of 5 

GF-166 

If gas appliances have been under water, have them inspected and cleaned and their gas controls replaced. The 

gas company or a qualified appliance repair person or plumber should do this work. Water can damage gas 

controls so that safety features are blocked, even if the gas controls appear to operate properly. If you suspect a 

gas leak, don't light a match, use any electrical appliance, turn lights on or off, or use the phone. These may 

produce sparks. Sniff for gas leaks, starting at the water heater. If you smell gas or hear gas escaping, turn off 

the main valve, open windows, leave the area immediately, and call the gas company or a qualified appliance 

repair person or plumber for repairs. Never store flammable materials near any gas appliance or equipment. 

Gasoline is made to explode! 

Check to make sure your smoke detector is functioning. 

Smoke detectors can save your life in a fire. Check the battery frequently to make 

sure it is operating. Fire extinguishers also are a good idea. 

Never use gasoline around ignition sources such as cigarettes, 

matches, lighters, water heaters, or electric sparks. Gasoline vapors 

can travel and be ignited by pilot light or other ignition sources. Make 

sure that gasoline powered generators are away from easily 

combustible materials.

WARNING 

Submerged gas control valves, circuit breakers, and 

fuses pose explosion and fire hazard! 

Replace all gas control valves, circuit breakers, and fuses that have been 

under water: 

GAS CONTROL VALVES on furnaces, water heaters, and other gas 

appliances that have been under water are unfit for continued use. If they 

are used, they could cause a fire or an explosion. Silt and corrosion from 

flood water can damage internal components of control valves and prevent 

proper operation. Gas can leak and result in an explosion or fire. Replace 

ALL gas control valves that have been under water. 

ELECTRIC CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND FUSES can malfunction when 

water and silt get inside. Discard ALL circuit breakers and fuses that have 

been submerged.

SUBJECT: Incorrect Gas Valve Wiring Diagram Information 

® 




NO: GF-164 

We have discovered that the wiring diagram for GUIV -FX model furnaces manufactured February 2003 contains 

an error in regards to the wiring of the Main Valve “PM” terminal and Second Stage “HI” terminal on the two-stage 

White-Rodgers gas valve (Note: Refer to the list below for the affected model furnaces). 

Model # Mfg. # 

GUIV070FX40 P1246903F 

GUIV090FX50 P1246905F 

GUIV115FX50 P1246907F 

GUIV140FX50 P1246908F 

The incorrect wiring information listed on the diagram is as follows: GY-47 wire 

connected to the Second Stage “HI” terminal and the OR-20 wire connected to Main 

Valve “PM” terminal (See figure at right). If the furnace is wired according to the 

wiring diagram, a call for heat would result in the gas valve being energized with the 

vent motor but no igniter function. This would result in the fuel being discharged 

through the vent. This condition will not result in a hazard and is exactly the same 

failure as an inoperative igniter. 

The correct wiring information is a follows: GY-47 wire connected to Main Valve “PM” 

terminal and the OR-20 wire connected to Second Stage “HI” terminal (See figure at 

right). The assembly line personnel do not use the wiring diagram label (or the spec 

sheet diagram), but use the chassis wiring diagram print that does show the correct 

wiring to the gas valve. Therefore, the product is wired correctly when manufactured 

but incorrect on the wiring diagram as previously indicated. 

Several steps have been taken to get this information corrected and prevent the incorrect wiring diagram from 

being used on future builds of this model furnace. Both the units wiring diagram and spec sheet wiring diagram 

are being changed prior to next production of these furnaces, due October 27, 2003, and also all existing stock of 

incorrect wiring diagrams were discarded. 

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and continue to strive to provide you with product of

SUBJECT: 170°F Primary Limit Usage on GUIC045FA30 Model Furnaces 

® 



NO: GF-163 

Beginning March 2003 through June 2003, a 170°F primary limit was used on GUIC045FA30 model furnaces, 

part number 10728325. The primary limit that should have been used was part number 10728330 (200°F). This 

issue affects only GUIC045FA30 model furnaces, manufacturing number P1241801F, that were built March 2003 

through June 2003 (serial date code range 0302 to 0306). 

Effective June 20, 2003, we changed to Primary Limit Part # 10728330 (200°F). All GUIC045FA30 model 

furnaces, manufacturing number P1241801F, manufactured July 2003 and later (serial date code range 0307 

and later) are being built with the 200°F primary limit. 

This service communication is being sent out to notify you of this issue in case you might be experiencing 

nuisance tripping of the primary limit on the above listed model furnaces, and all factors (i.e. incorrect manifold 

gas pressure, high duct static pressure, etc.) that might be causing this condition have been eliminated and the 

furnace is still having nuisance primary limit trips. 



Amana will pay class “A” in home service rate to install Primary Limit Part # 10728330 (200°F) on specific models 

listed above, which have been determined to be experiencing nuisance primary limit trips due to the 

Primary Limit Part # 10728330 (170°F). 


Amana will pay $20.00/unit labor to replace Primary Limit (10728325) with Primary Limit (10728330) on 

inventory/stock units in Distributor inventories. Complete a PRF (Parts Return Form) and list model, 

manufacturing and serial number of units on which the primary limit (10728325) was replaced. Box up the 

replaced primary limits in a box and enclose the yellow (packing list) copy of the PRF with the parts and ship to 

Warranty Returns - Fayetteville, TN. Mail the white copy of the PRF to Warranty Administration - Fayettevi lle, TN. 

(Upon receipt of parts, labor and part credit will be issued to the distributor.) 

Dealer Inventory Units 


Amana will pay $30.00/unit labor to replace Primary Limit (10728325) with Primary Limit (10728330) on 

inventory/stock units in dealer inventory. A warranty tag (A173-9 or RF000007) must be completed for each unit 

serviced which is in Dealer inventory. Attach the cardboard section of the warranty tag to the replaced primary 

limit. Send the original white copy of the tag, the yellow and pink (Distributor) copy of the tag along with the 

replaced primary limit to the distributor. 

The distributor will summarize the warranty tags on a PRF (Parts Return Form). The Distributor will attach the 

original white copy 1 of the tag and yellow (Distributor) copy 2 of the tag to the original white copy of the PRF and 

send to Warranty Administration – Fayetteville, TN. Distributor will enclose the yellow copy of the PRF with the 

primary limit and ship to Warranty Returns – Fayetteville, TN. 

Upon receipt of proper documentation by Warranty Administration in Fayetteville, TN, part credit will be issued to 


servicer, labor will be issued to the distributor (at the distributors rate) to pass along to the dealer. All claims for 

credit must be submitted to Warranty Administration in Fayetteville, TN for processing by December 31, 2003.

SUBJECT: Need for Proper Grounding of Silicon Nitride Integrated Ignition Control Systems 

We have received field complaints of premature Silicon Nitride Igniter failures (Amana Part #’s 11111701 & 

11111702), which are used on our 40" 80% and 90% gas furnaces (Models GUIC/GCIC-FA/FX, GUIS/GCIS- 

FA/FX, GUCA/GCCA-BX, GUVA/GCVA-BX, and GUSA-BX). 

Our investigation of the problem has determined that an Improper or Inadequate Earth Ground Connection 

can cause an error in the voltage regulation to the Silicon Nitride Igniter causing excessive voltage output to the 

Silicon Nitride Igniter resulting in premature igniter failure. 

An improper or inadequate Earth ground can be detected by measuring the voltage between the “Line N” terminal 

and the low voltage “C” terminal on the Silicon Nitride Integrated Ignition Control. The measured voltage should 

be less than 2 volts. 

Some furnaces will have a measured voltage between the “Line N” terminal and low voltage “C” terminal when 

the only fault is an inadequate or improper Earth ground. Some integrated furnace ignition controls and the 

ECM motors will place a small voltage potential on the ground circuit through the surge protection circuitry, etc. 

The path to ground through this circuitry is very high resistance, so a good Earth ground “will pull” this voltage 

down to Earth potential and prevent the premature Silicon Nitride Igniter failures. 

If the voltage measured between “Line N” terminal and “C” terminal on the Silicon Nitride Integrated Ignition 

Control is greater than 2 volts, it will be necessary to correct the ground circuit. Note: This fault should not yield 

an “8 flash” lockout but will yield a high output voltage to the igniter thus shortening the igniters life. Refer to the 

following figure for an example of 

checking the voltage between the 

“Line N” terminal and “C” low voltage 

terminal on a Silicon Nitride Integrated 

Ignition Control.

"Line N" to " C" terminal.

SUBJECT: 40” 80% Single-Stage Gas Furnace Fasco Induced Draft Blower Assemblies 

In some installations the Fasco induced draft blower assembly (Amana Part # 20044402) used on 40" 80% 

single-stage gas furnaces models, GUIC/GCIC-EA/EX and FA/FX, GUID-EA/EX and GA, and GUIE-EX, has 

been found to produce objectionable sound levels. This noise does not affect the performance or reliability of the 

blower. 

To eliminate this noise, a new ID blower assembly has been developed that lowers the sound level of the ID 

blower. The new ID blower assembly is Amana Part # 20044403. Furnaces manufactured beginning February 

2003 (Serial date code of 0302 and later) will incorporate the new ID blower assembly (Amana Part # 20044403). 

ID blower assemblies on installed furnaces are to be replaced only when there is a noise complaint attributed to 

the ID blower assembly. (See filing procedures below). 

In most cases, a new gasket is not required. However, it is recommended that a supply of gaskets (Amana Part # 

11142201 for 45/30, 70/30 and 70/40 model furnaces, 11142202 for 90/40 or 90/50 model furnaces and 

11142203 for 115/40, 115/50 and 140/50 model furnaces) be kept on hand as required. 

All inventory of new and unused ID blower assemblies part number 20044402 should be returned for credit, and 

new ID blower assemblies part number 20044403 should be reordered for service replacement. Dealer inventory 

of 20044402 ID blower assemblies must be returned to the Distributor from whom they were purchased. 


Amana will pay class “A” in home service rate to install a new ID blower assembly (Amana Part # 20044403) on 

Amana single-stage gas furnace (specific models listed above), which have been determined to produce an 

objectionable sound as previously described. 



A warranty tag (A173 or RF000007) must be completed for each unit serviced. Reference Project Code 8557 on 

each claim. Attach the half sheet section of the warranty tag to the replaced ID blower assembly and send it 

along with the original white copy plus copy 1 and 2 (Distributor copies) of the tag to the distributor. The 

distributor will summarize the warranty tags on a PRF (Part Return Form). The Distributor will attach the original 

white copy of the tag and copy 1 (Distributor copy) of the warranty tag to the original white copy of the PRF and 

send to Warranty Administration, Fayetteville. Distributor will enclose the yellow copy of the PRF with the 

replaced ID Blowers and ship to Warranty Returns, Fayetteville, TN. 




All claims for credit under this program must be submitted to Warranty Administration in Fayetteville, TN for 

processing by December 31, 2003. All claims must reference Project Code 8557.

After a much research, we are approving the use of “Schedule 40 PVC Cellular Core (Foam Core) Plastic 

Pipe” for use as flue/vent pipe material on all Amana 90% model furnaces installed only in the United States. 

The “PVC Cellular Core (Foam Core) Plastic Pipe” is manufactured under American Society for Testing and 

Methods standard ASTM F891. 

Schedule 40 PVC Cellular Core (Foam Core) Plastic Pipe is not approved for use in Canada. CSA does not have 

a Reference Standard for Cellular Core PVC Plastic Pipe. 

Schedule 40 PVC Cellular Core (Foam Core) Plastic Pipe is a coextruded poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) plastic pipe 

with a cellular core (contains numerous cells intentionally introduced, interconnecting or not, distributed 

throughout the pipe) and concentric inner and outer solid layers. PVC primer meeting ASTM F656 and PVC 

solvent cement meeting ASTM D2564 specifications must be used. Fittings must be DWV type fittings meeting 

ASTM D2665 and ASTM D3311. Carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cutting, cleaning and solvent 

cementing of PVC. 

To ensure proper furnace operation, this Schedule 40 PVC Cellular Core (Foam Core) Plastic Pipe must be 

installed in accordance with the installation instructions, all local building codes and ordinances. In their absence, 

follow the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1), and or CAN/CGA B149 

Installation Codes, local plumbing or wastewater codes, and other appliance codes.

SUBJECT: Silicon Nitride Igniter Kit 


NO: GF-159 

We have received questions from the field in regards to the two different igniter connectors used on the White- 

Rodgers 768A Silicon Nitride Igniters (Part #’s 11111701 and 11111702). The first release of the Silicon Nitride 

Igniter Part # 11111702 had a male connector and the newer release of Silicon Nitride Igniter Part # 11111701 

has a female connector. 

In order for our supplier to continue to provide us with a five-year part warranty on the Silicon Nitride Igniter, a 

change was made to the igniter connector from a male connector to a female connector. With this change to the 

Silicon Nitride Igniter connector, the part # was changed from Part # 11111702 to 11111701. This change was 

made to prevent the Silicon Nitride Igniter from being connected to a standard carbide igniter control system. If 

connected to standard carbide igniter control system, the Silicon Nitride Igniter would prematurely fail due to the 

voltage being applied to the igniter from the standard carbide igniter control system. 

The Silicon Nitride Igniter control system in its operation actually varies the voltage to the Silicon Nitride Igniter 

during the igniter warm-up period in order to maintain an operating voltage of 80 volts RMS to the igniter 

prolonging the life of the igniter, whereas the standard carbide control system would apply a continuous operating 

voltage of 120 volts to the Silicon Nitride Igniter during the igniter warm-up period which would in turn cause 

premature failure of the Silicon Nitride Igniter due to the continuous application of the 120 volt operating voltage 

to the igniter. 

In order to eliminate the need to have two different Silicon 

Nitride Igniters, we released a Silicon Nitride Igniter Kit (Part # 

RF000146) that contains an adapter harness and Silicon 

Nitride Igniter Part # 11111701. This new kit was released to 

replace Silicon Nitride Igniter Part # 11111702 that had the 

male connector, which was used on eighteen furnace models 

(Refer to the chart on the right).

SUBJECT: Upflow 40” 90% Furnace Vent-Drain Kit (Amana Part # RF000142) 

NO: GF-158 

We have discovered that in some installations of the upflow 40” 90% model furnaces (GUCA.GUVA & GUSA) 

when installed in the horizontal left application, excessive condensate is collecting in the flue/vent and not 

draining properly causing nuisance pressure switch trips. 

As an interim corrective action prior to release of final corrective action of redesigned internal rubber elbow, we 

have released a “Vent-Drain Kit” (Amana Part # RF000142) that is to be installed in the flue/vent which will 

provide additional help in draining any excessive condensate that may build up in the flue/vent preventing 

nuisance pressure switch trips. This kit contains a vent-drain, two green hose clamps and instructions for properly 

installing the vent -drain on the flue/vent pipe. 


We will pay class “A” in home service rate to install a “Vent-Drain Kit” (Amana Part # RF000142) on any upflow 

40” 90% model furnace that is exhibiting the condition of nuisance pressure switch trips due to excessive

SUBJECT: White-Rodgers Two-Stage Gas Valves (Amana Part #’s C6476906 and C6476909) 

Amana has received field complaints of nuisance lockouts on 40" 80% and 90% two-stage gas furnaces (Models 

GUIS, GCIS, GUIV, GUVA, GCVA and GUSA). The problem being reported is a steady on LED fault code, which 

would tend to indicate an internal ignition control board failure. 

Our investigation has determined this complaint to be due to a cracked or loose connector terminal on the PC 

Board located inside the gas valve. This problem was found to be created when too much force is applied to the 

wiring harness connector as it is being connected to the gas valve causing the connector terminals to break the 

solder on the backside of the PC board. This issue affects only two-stage gas valves manufactured with serial 

date codes prior to 0215. Refer to the following figure for locating the date code on the gas valve. 

To help in troubleshooting this type of problem, it will be necessary to wiggle the connector on top the two-stage 

gas valve with the furnace in a call for heat. If the furnace locks out giving a steady on LED fault code, then it 

more than likely points to a cracked or loose connector terminal, which will require replacement of the two-stage 

gas valve. For further verification of this problem, turn “OFF” the thermostat to the furnace and disconnect all 

power to the furnace. Using a pocket screwdriver, carefully remove the switching mechanism (black section on 

top of two-stage gas valve with ON/OFF switch) by removing the two TORX Screws that secure it to the gas 

valve and inspect backside of PC board for a loose or cracked connector terminal. If any of the three-connector 

terminals are loose or cracked, replace the two-stage gas valve and then reapply power and check for proper unit 

operation. Note: The two screws holding the switching mechanism onto the two-stage gas valve are TORX 

Screws, and as previously mentioned, they can be removed with the use of a standard pocket screwdriver. Refer 

to the following figure for an example of the switching mechanism removed showing a cracked connector 

terminal.

SUBJECT: New Propane Low Pressure Kit (LPLP01) 

NO: GF-156 

Throughout the heating industry we have seen 80% and 90% furnaces soot up due to various reasons, one of 

which is due to low propane levels in the storage tank causing insufficient gas pressure for the burners to operate 

properly which in turn can cause sooting in the heat exchanger. A new accessory, LPLP01 – Propane Low 

Pressure Kit, was released December 2001. This new kit is now available for installations with Amana gas 

furnaces converted to propane gas. Amana recommends using the LPLP01 kit with propane gas furnace 

installations. This LPLP01 kit must be used when a furnace is being replaced due to a sooting issue. 

The LPLP01 consists of the following: 


• Propane Low Pressure Switch 

o Switch to Gas Valve Piping 

o Close Nipple 

• Tee 

• Switch to Gas Valve Wiring 

o Single Stage Harness 

o Two-Stage Harness 

• Propane Low Pressure Kit Label

The LPLP01 will monitor the gas line pressure and will disable the gas valve if the line pressure drops below 

acceptable levels. This kit provides control over the gas valve by routing the gas valve wiring through the supplied 

pressure switch. To enable proper fit-up, the pressure switch kit must be installed before connecting the gas 

supply line to the gas valve. For new unit installations, the kit hardware may be fitted to the gas valve while the 

gas manifold is removed for LP gas orifice conversion. For existing installations, the gas line must be 

disconnected from the gas valve to allow fitting of kit hardware. Note: All threaded connections must be sealed 

with Teflon tape or pipe sealant. Pipe sealant must be approved for use with propane gas. 

Troubleshooting

SUBJECT: 40” 90% Two-Stage Gas Furnace Fasco Induced Draft Blower Assemblies 

In some installations the Fasco induced draft blower assembly (Amana Part # 20245902) used on 40" 90% twostage 

gas furnace, models GUVA, GCVA and GUSA, has been found to produce objectionable sound levels, 

often described as a droning sound. This droning sound is the result of a vibration induced by the lead end 

bearing mounting system in the induced draft blower motor. This vibration does not affect the performance or 

reliability of the blower. The vibration may be of sufficient intensity to create a resonance in the sheet metal 

components of the furnace, ductwork, or vent system. 

To eliminate this vibration, a new ID blower assembly has been developed with different lead end bearing support 

that lowers the vibration amplitude. The new ID blower assembly is Amana Part # 20245903. Furnaces 

manufactured beginning January 2002 (Serial date code of 0201 and later) will incorporate the new ID blower 

assembly (Amana Part # 20245903). ID blower assemblies on installed furnaces are to be replaced only when 

there is a noise complaint attributed to the ID blower assembly. (See filing procedures below). 

In most cases, a new gasket is not required. However, it is recommended that a supply of gaskets (Amana Part # 

20215701 for 45/30 or 70/30 model furnaces, 20215702 for 70/40 or 90/40 model furnaces and 20215703 for 

90/50 or 115/50 model furnaces) be kept on hand as required. 

All inventory of new and unused ID blower assemblies part number 20245902 should be returned for credit, and 

new ID blower assemblies part number 20245903 should be reordered for service replacement. Dealer inventory 

of 20245902 ID blower assemblies must be returned to the Distributor from whom they were purchased. 


Amana will pay class “A” in home service rate to install a new ID blower assembly (Amana Part # 20245903) on 

Amana two-stage gas furnace (specific models listed above), which have been determined to produce an 

objectionable sound as previously described. 



A warranty tag (A173 or RF000007) must be completed for each unit serviced. Attach the half sheet section of 

the warranty tag to the replaced ID blower assembly and send it along with the original white copy (Amana copy) 

plus copy 1 and 2 (Distributor copies) of the tag to the distributor. The distributor will summarize the warranty tags 

on a PRF (Part Return Form). The Distributor will attach the original white (Amana) copy of the tag and copy 1

SUBJECT: White-Rodgers Ignition Control Kit, Amana Part # RF000129 

NO: GF-153 Rev. 1 

SUPERSEDES: GF-153 

Amana has discovered that the use of the White-Rodgers 50A55 integrated ignition control (Amana Part # 

10207709) as a replacement for the White-Rodgers 50A50 integrated ignition control on 48” 90% model furnaces, 

may in some cases cause the furnace to experience delayed ignition. Our testing has shown this condition to be 

caused by the adaptive igniter warm up routine of the 50A55 ignition control. To eliminate this condition, the 

White-Rodgers 50A55 ignition control (Amana Part # 10207709) has been revised to allow for adjustment of the 

igniter warm up routine. The new 50A55 integrated ignition control (Amana Part # 10207719) is being released as 

part of a service kit, Amana Part # RF000129. This kit contains the new 50A55 ignition control along with 

installation instructions for selecting the proper igniter warm up routine for the model furnace it is being installed 

on. Also included in the kit is Service Label (Amana Part # 20308501), that must be used when replacing any 

White-Rodgers 50A50 ignition control. This new label contains Diagnostic LED information for the new 50A55 

ignition control that is not found on the control itself due to its small size. 

When replacing the 50A50 ignition control with the new 50A55 ignition control contained in kit RF000129 on any 

48” 80% or 90% furnace that has a Norton Silicon Carbide Igniter model 271A or 271N, it will be necessary to set 

DIP Selector Switch #3 on the control to the “OFF” position to allow for the fixed 17-second igniter warm-up 

routine. If the new 50A55 ignition control is being used to replace an existing 50A55 ignition control on either a 

40” 80% or 90% furnace that has a Norton Silicon Carbide Igniter model 271A or 271N or Norton Mini Igniter 

model 601T or 601TB, the DIP Selector Switch #3 will need to be set to the “ON” position to allow for the 

adaptive igniter warm up routine. Note: The DIP Selector Switch #3 comes from the factory set in the “ON” 

position which enables the adaptive igniter warm up routine that has an igniter warm-up time between a 5-second 

minimum and 17-second maximum. This switch must be set to the “OFF” position enabling a fixed 17-second 

igniter warm up routine when used with any 48” 90% furnace. The following figure shows the location of DIP 

Selector Switch #3 on the new 50A55 ignition control.

Should you receive a field report or complaint in which a 48" 90% furnace is having delayed ignition, the first 

check would be to see what ignition control the furnace has. If the furnace has a 50A55 ignition control (Amana 

Part # 10207709) and is having delayed ignition problems, it will be necessary to replace this control with the new 

White-Rodgers 50A55 ignition control that has DIP Selector Switch #3 for setting the 17-second fixed igniter 

warm up routine. If the furnace has either a 50A50 ignition control or the new 50A55 (Amana Part # 10207719) 

ignition control and delayed ignition is occurring, the problem is being caused by some other factor other than the 

ignition control and the following should be checked: 

1. Improper gas pressure - adjust to proper pressure. 

2. Improper burner positioning - burners should be in locating slots, level front to rear and left to right. 



Shown below in the following two figures are the typical models of 40” 80% and 90% furnaces that require the 

DIP Selector Switch #3 to be set in the “ON” position for the adaptive igniter warm up routine (minimum of 5seconds 

and a maximum of 17-seconds) along with the typical models of 48” 80% & 90% furnaces that require 

the DIP Selector Switch #3 to be set in the “OFF” position for the fixed 17-second igniter warm up routine.

TO: All Service Managers DATE: August 2, 2001 

SUBJECT: Fuel Gas Odor Smell in Furnace Burner Area 

CAUTION 


Any circumstance in which fuel gas odor is noticed should be treated with 

appropriate concern for safety and verified as to the odor’s source and volume. 

Page 1 of 1 

NO: GF-152 

In many instances, fuel gas odor in the furnace burner compartment area is being misinterpreted as a gas leak at 

the gas valve and may lead to unnecessary gas valve replacement or the furnace being “red tagged” by an 

inspector due to suspected gas valve leakage. Residual fuel gas may occur in the furnace main burner area 

when the gas valve closes at the end of the heating cycle. Residual fuel gas, evidenced by the presence of fuel 

gas odor, at the end of the heating cycle is typical and not unusual. This residual fuel gas typically escapes 

naturally out of the manifold orifices at the end of the heating cycle. The American National Standards Institute 

(ANSI Z21.21 for Automatic Valves for Gas Appliances) requires that gas valve leakage cannot exceed 200 cc/hr 

through the main valve body while in the OFF cycle (Section 2.4.1): nor 235 cc/hr through internal valve leakage 

also while in the OFF cycle (Section 2.4.2). These escaping residual amounts of fuel are insignificant and should 

not be considered a hazard. 

Minute amounts of gas are commonly detected with an electronic gas detector for up to one hour after 

termination of the heating cycle. Electronic gas detectors can detect gases emitted from gas valve components 

permeated with gas flowing through it or gases used in material manufacture or formation processes. Electronic 

detectors are especially sensitive and can detect gas amounts as low as 0.5 cc/hr, well below concentrations 

necessary for combustion. 

Any noticeable gas odor should be treated with care and necessary caution that includes thorough diagnostics to 

determine the gas smell’s source, cause, and volume (level of potential hazard). Typical residual gas verified as 

remaining after heating cycle termination is not cause for alarm or gas valve replacement.





SUBJECT: GUID Service Replacement Induced Draft Blower Assembly

NO: GF-151-B 

Amana has released a new Fasco "C-Frame" Induced Draft Blower Assembly, Amana Part Number 20044401 that will 

be used to replace the Jakel "C-Frame" Induced Draft Blower Assembly, Amana Part Number 20002301, on certain 

GUID model furnaces. The use of this new Fasco "C-Frame" Induced Draft Blower Assembly will require a burner box 

top cover to be installed on the furnace due to the design of this new blower assembly. If the "Fasco "C-Frame" Induced 

Draft Blower Assembly were used without the burner box top cover, the furnace may encounter problems lighting due to 

the airflow from the fan on the rear of the induced draft blower assembly. Refer to the figures below.

SUBJECT: Service Tool for Replacement of Damaged Knurled Threaded Inserts 

NO: GF-149-B 

Amana has received some reports of the Knurled Threaded Inserts, used on new 40" 90% furnaces, being stripped 

upon initial removal of the door screws. These inserts are used in conjunction with the thumb screws to hold the top and 

bottom doors on the furnace. If any of the inserts are damaged they can be replaced by using the "Expandable Insert 

Tool" (Amana part # R9900486) available from Service Parts in Iowa. This tool is ideal for applications such as field 

repair. 

The installation of a new insert is done in five easy steps, these are as follows: 

1. Drill out and remove the damaged insert. 

Note: The proper drill bit size to use is 19/64. Use this specified drill bit size to prevent oversizing of the hole. 

2. Thread the new insert (Amana part # M0294801) onto tool. 

3. Place tool with new insert into hole. 

4. Hold the tool body with a wrench to prevent turning. 

5. Tighten screw until insert installs. As the insert is installed the knurled body expands 360° filling the hole. This 

feature provides exceptional torque strength and vibration resistance. Continued tightening of the installation tool 

exerts further load on the insert forming a backside flange.

SUBJECT: White-Rodgers 50A55-288 Integrated Ignition Controls 

NO: GF-147-B 

Amana has discovered that some White-Rodgers 50A55-288 Ignition Controls (Amana part # 10207709) were produced 

with an incorrect resistor at the microprocessor. This defect may cause the ignition control to incorrectly timeout 

the ignition sequence and result in a furnace lockout. These controls were used in all furnaces (GUX, GUIC, GCIC, 

GUIC, GUCA & GCCA) manufactured from mid May through early July, with the exception of two-stage and variable 

speed models (GUIS, GUIV). The serial number range for the affected models is 9905165275 through 9907134186. 

These controls can be identified by the date code sticker on the side of the ignition control. A typical date code would 

read "9919-E1". Currently all controls in furnaces shipped prior to July 15, 1999 with date codes of 9919 through 9927 

are suspect and should be replaced with a new White-Rodgers 50A55-28 Ignition Control (Amana Part # 10207709). 

Units shipped from Fayetteville after July 15, 1999 may have ignition controls with date codes of 9919 through 9927 

however these units have been inspected and are known good controls. 

Units shipped from Fayetteville after July 15, 1999 will have good controls with the correct resistor/microprocessor. 

These units can be identified by the "Lime Green" dot on bar code. 

Amana has confirmed that no 9919 through 9927 date coded ignition controls were shipped from the Amana Parts 

department, therefore any ignition controls received from Amana Parts are known good controls. 


All claims for credit under this program must reference "Project 8475". White-Rodgers Ignition Controls must be 

returned in the box from the replacement control and in usable, undamaged condition by December 31, 2000. 


Amana will pay $25.00/unit labor to replace ignition controls on inventory/stock units in Distributor inventories. Complete 

a PRF marked "White-Rodgers Ignition Controls/Project 8475" and list model, manufacturing and serial 

number of units on which the ignition control (10207709) was replaced. Box up the replaced ignition control in the box 

from the replacement ignition control and enclose the yellow (packing list) copy of the PRF with the parts and ship to 

Amana, Iowa. Mail the white copy of the PRF to Warranty Administration, Amana, Iowa. (Upon receipt of parts, labor 

and part credit will be issued to the distributor.) 


Amana will pay $32.00/unit labor to replace ignition controls on inventory/stock units in dealer inventory. Labor for 

installed units will be issued at 75% Class A in home service rate. A warranty tag (A173) must be completed for each 

unit serviced. Send the original white (Amana) copy plus copy 1 and 2 (Distributor copies) of the tag to the distributor. 

Attach the cardboard section of the warranty tag to the replaced Ignition Control. The Ignition Control, with part tag 

attached, must be returned to the Distributor to obtain credit.

SUBJECT: Service Replacement Heat Exchanger Assemblies for 40" 95% GUVA and New 92%+ GCVA Furnaces 

With the improvements in the product design of the new GUVA and GCVA furnaces, the Primary and Secondary Heat 

Exchangers can now be replaced as a single unit just like GUCA, GCCA and GUSA model furnaces (see Service letter 

GF-141A-B dated April 27, 2000). On previous 48” 90% furnaces, when there was a failure of the primary or secondary 

heat exchanger, the entire furnace was replaced because that furnace design made removal of the entire heat exchanger 

assembly difficult. 

The new GUVA and GCVA furnaces carry the same replacement furnace warranty as the 48" 95% GUX furnaces in the 

event of a primary or secondary heat exchanger failure. This warranty applies to heat exchangers that fail due to defect in 

either materials or workmanship only. Sooted heat exchangers or other failures not the result of defective materials or 

workmanship are not covered by this heat exchanger warranty and therefore require the heat exchanger to be replaced 

instead of the entire furnace being replaced. 

The service replacement heat exchanger assemblies contain the complete heat exchanger assembly, primary and 

secondary along with three pieces of gasket material that are used between the heat exchanger assembly and inside 

partition rails. There are a total of six Heat Exchanger Replacement Kits available for these model furnaces. The following 

chart lists the kit number and the model furnace it is used on.

SUBJECT: Service Replacement Motor Mounting Assembly Kit 

NO: GF-145-B 

In some installations the 10X10 blower wheel (Amana part #D6723306) used on GUC090X50B, GUC115X50B, 

GUD090X50B, GUD115X50B and GUX090X50B model furnaces, has been found to fail at the center plate-to-blade 

interlock. This type of failure can occur when the motor speed frequency coincides with the resonant frequency of the 

system. High duct static installations will cause the blower motor to operate at high RPM which can lead to center plateto-blade 

interlock failures. 

In order to eliminate center plate-to-blade interlock failures, Amana has released a new motor mounting assembly kit 

that consists of a stiffer motor mount and grommets for service use and is also currently being used on the furnace 

models listed above that are still in production. This new assembly increases the system resonant frequency such that 

it is beyond the maximum speed frequency of the motor. Morrison Products, Inc. has changed their manufacturing 

processes and implemented quality checks to insure that Amana receives wheels that have a natural frequency above 

a predetermined value. Morrison will also be implementing tooling assembly changes that will increase the natural 

frequency of the wheel and expects to have the tooling changes completed by October 1, 1999. 

If you encounter this condition it will be necessary to replace the motor mounting assembly while replacing the failed 

blower wheel to eliminate the potential for future failures. Amana has released a new motor mounting assembly kit 

(Amana Part #R9900181) which can be ordered from Amana Parts department as needed. Refer to the drawing below 

for a graphical illustration of the installation of the new motor mounting assembly components.

SUBJECT: Heatcraft HSI-2 Integrated Ignition Controls 

NO: GF-144-B 

Heatcraft HSI-2 Ignition Controls (Amana part number 11184504) used on the new GUCA, GCCA 40" 90% furnaces, 

and GUID 40" 80% furnaces, may in some cases experience intermittent lockouts. Our testing has shown this condition 

is caused by Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI), commonly referred to as electrical noise. If the EMI is of sufficient 

magnitude it can disrupt the AC power supply causing the controls microprocessor to incorrectly process commands 

and therefore lockup. 

In this type of lockup the watch-dog feature of the control will fail to reset thereby requiring a power disconnect to reset 

the ignition control. If this condition occurs it will be necessary to replace the Heatcraft HSI-2 Ignition Control with the 

White-Rodgers 50A55-288 Ignition Control, Amana part number 10207709. 

The Heatcraft HSI-2 ignition control (Amana part number 11184504) was only used in a limited number of early 

production GUCA models, serial numbers 9805110138 through 9806296004. GUCA models manufactured with serial 

numbers 9806295005 and later were built with the White-Rodgers 50A55-288 (Amana part number 10207709) ignition 

control. 

All GCCA models manufactured from July 1998 through early January 1999, serial numbers 9806280343 through 

9901188350, and GUID models manufactured from September 1998 through December 1998, serial numbers 

9809125677 through 9901271756, were also built using the Heatcraft HSI-2. GCCA and GUID models manufactured 

January 1999 and later are being built using the White-Rodgers 50A55-288 Ignition Control (Amana part number 

10207709), until the Heatcraft ignition controls can be requalified for use by Amana. 

Due to a higher than normal incident rate with the Heatcraft HSI-2 Ignition Controls in some areas, Amana is extending 

the DOA labor allowance on these controls. This extended labor allowance will be equal to the Ignition Control warranty 

in the furnace where the control is being replaced and will apply to the orginal replacement control only. The 

Ignition Control is warranted for 5 years on GUCA and GCCA models and 2 years on GUID models. Refer to the 

warranty certificate for specific details. 


All claims for credit under this program must reference "Project 8460". Heatcraft Ignition Controls must be returned in 

the box from the replacement control and in usable, undamaged condition. 

Extended DOA labor for Heatcraft HSI-2 Ignition Control replacement on installed units will be issued at 75% Class A 

in home service rate. A warranty tag (A173) must be completed for each unit serviced. Send the original white (Amana) 

copy plus copy 1 and 2 (Distributor copies) of the tag to the distributor. Attach the cardboard section of the warranty tag 

to the replaced Ignition Control. The Ignition Control, with part tag attached, must be returned to the Distributor to 

obtain credit.



and send to Warranty Administration at Amana, Iowa. The Ignition Control, with part tag attached, must be returned to 

Amana to obtain credit. Distributor will enclose the yellow (Packing List) copy of the PRF with ignition controls and mail 

to Amana, Iowa. 

Upon receipt of failed Heatcraft HSI-2 Ignition Control and proper documentation at Amana, Iowa, part credit will be 

issued to the distributor and labor credit directly to the servicer. (Labor or part credit will not be issued until failed 

ignition control and proper documentation is received at Amana, Iowa.) In the event the dealer is not set up as an

SUBJECT: Alternate Horizontal Vent Termination (Dual Pipe) for 40" 90% GUCA and GCCA Furnaces 

Amana has received requests to provide alternate horizontal venting terminations when installing the new 40" 90% 

GUCA or GCCA model furnaces in a Direct Vent (Dual Pipe) application. Currently shown in the installation instructions 

are Standard Horizontal Terminations (Dual Pipe) using a Tee on the Vent/Flue termination and 90° Elbow(s) on the 

Combustion Air Intake termination. Amana has reviewed the Standard Horizontal Vent Terminations for the 40" 90% 

GUCA and GCCA model furnaces and conducted testing to provide for alternate venting terminations using 90° Elbows 

on both the Vent/Flue and Combustion Air Intake Terminations. 

The following new venting table includes, Standard Horizontal Terminations (Dual Pipe) using a Tee on the Vent/Flue 

Termination and 90° Elbow(s) on the Combustion Air Intake Termination and the Alternate Horizontal Terminations (Dual 

Pipe) using 90° Elbows on both the Vent/Flue and Combustion Air Intake Terminations. These Alternate Horizontal 

Terminations are shown in the following figures on the next page. 

The models that may utilize these alternate venting applications are: 

GUCA***AX** 

GCCA***AX** 

Amana is in the process of adding this information to our installation manuals and service manuals. This letter may be 

used to inform local code officials and inspectors about using the alternate Direct Vent (Dual Pipe) furnace venting.

SUBJECT: Service Replacement Integrated Ignition Controls for New 40" 90% GUCA and GCCA Furnaces 

With the introduction of the new GUCA (upflow/horizontal) and GCCA (counterflow/horizontal) furnaces there are 

two new integrated ignition controls being used by Amana. The White-Rodgers 50A55-288 ignition control, Amana 

part number 10207709, is being used on the GUCA models and the Heatcraft HSI-2 ignition control, Amana part 

number 11184504, is being used on the GCCA models. 

However, White-Rodgers was unable to supply the 50A55-288 ignition control in time for first production of the 

GUCA due to availability of the control cover. Therefore, the Heatcraft HSI-2 ignition control was substituted in the 

GUCA models for the initial production run serial numbers 9805110138 through 9806296004. GUCA models 

manufactured with serial number 9806296005 and later will have the White-Rodgers 50A55-288 ignition control. 

All GCCA models manufactured used the Heatcraft HSI-2 ignition control. Both ignition controls and suppliers were 

certified for use on the new furnaces to insure future availability. 

To eliminate the need for two service replacement ignition controls, the White-Rodgers 50A55-288 ignition control, 

Amana part number 10207709, has been setup as the service replacement part for both the GUCA and GCCA 

models. In the event of an ignition control failure on either model furnace, the White-Rodgers ignition control, 

Amana part number 10207709, will be shipped as the replacement. 

Note: When using the White-Rodgers 50A55-288 ignition control as a replacement on the GCCA model furnace, it 

should be noted that this control has two less diagnostic flash codes than the Heatcraft HSI-2 ignition control. The 

two codes that won't be present are number eight (8) which indicates that the pressure switch has opened five 

times during a single call for heat and number nine (9) which indicates that the primary limit has opened five times 

during a single call for heat. These two flash codes are only additional codes available on the Heatcraft HSI-2 

ignition control; all other major codes will be present. For an explanation of the diagnostic flash codes, refer to 

wiring diagram on the blower compartment door. For complete troubleshooting information on these diagnostic 

flash codes, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING CHART in the installation instructions or service manual.

Primary and Secondary, can now be replaced as a single unit thus eliminating the need to replace the entire furnace 

due to defect in either material or workmanship. On previous 48” 90% furnaces, when there was a failure of the 

primary or secondary heat exchanger, the entire furnace was replaced because the furnace design would not allow for 

ease of removal of the entire heat exchanger assembly.

Note: Some GUCA and GCCA model furnaces sold between September 1, 1998 and December 12, 1998 were sold 

with a "Supplemental Heat Exchanger Warranty". These furnaces carried a 5 year replacement warranty for the 

furnace in the event of a primary or secondary heat exchanger failure (See Service Letter GF-136-B dated August 31, 

1998). This supplemental warranty applies to heat exchangers that fail due to defect in either materials or workmanship 

only. Sooted heat exchangers or other failures not the result of defective materials or workmanship, should be 

discussed with your Amana Regional or Branch Technical Service Manager to determine resolution.

The White-Rodgers 50A55 ignition control (Amana Part # 10207709) used in the flame rectification kits for GUIB 

and GCIB furnaces has been revised by the manufacturer. Therefore, as a service replacement, Amana will 

begin using the new White-Rodgers 50A55 ignition control (Amana Part # 10207714) in flame rectification kits 

starting September 2001. The new 50A55 ignition control uses DIP Selector Switch #3 for selecting the igniter 

warm up routine. The switch comes from the factory set in the “ON” position which enables the adaptive igniter 

warm-up routine that has an igniter warm up time between a 5-second minimum and 17-second maximum. This 

switch must be set to the “OFF” position enabling a fixed 17-second igniter warm up routine when used with 

these model furnaces. The following figure shows the location of DIP Selector Switch #3 on the revised 50A55 

ignition control.

Along with the release of the revised flame rectification conversion kit Amana Part # 20224302, two new kits have 

been released. 

1. The first kit is a flame rectification conversion kit, Amana Part # 20224303, which contains all the parts as 

the kit listed above with the addition of a redundant gas valve. This kit can be used in place of the 

previous kit to replace the entire radiant flame proving system including the gas valve if desired. 

2. The second kit, Amana Part # 20224304, allows the White-Rodgers 36E35 gas valve (Amana Part # 

11002701) used with the radiant flame proving system on GUIB and GCIB furnaces to be converted to a 

standard flame proving system using a redundant gas valve. This kit consists of a redundant gas valve, 

replacement lighting instruction label and wiring diagram, wire ties and ¼” spade terminals. Important 

Note: The GUIB and GCIB model furnace must previously have been converted from radiant sense 

flame proving system using Flame Rectification Conversion Kit (Amana Part # 20224302) before the 

redundant gas valve can be installed and used with the furnace. 

Note: Please make sure that when the GUIB or GCIB furnaces are converted to the flame rectification system, 

that the new wiring diagram is placed over the old wiring diagram and that the conversion label is installed to 

denote that the furnace has been converted to a flame rectification system.

NO: NO: GF-136-B 

The Amana thermostat # 1213901 is a digital electronic setback thermostat released for Zoning systems and 2 stage 

furnaces (GUIS series). 

On the subbase of the thermostat there is a label which covers the terminal connection. Some thermostats have been 

found to have a misprint on this label. The label should read "C TERMINAL MUST BE CONNECTED TO COMMON 

SIDE OF TRANSFORMER FOR DEVICE TO OPERATE." The misprint states "B terminal" 

Connecting the "B" terminal to the common side of system transformer will result in immediate failure of the 

transformer. All 1213901 thermostats shipped from Amana after 3/3/97 have been checked for possible misprint.

SUBJECT: Revised 90% Furnace Venting Tables 


NO: GF-135-B 

Amana has received several requests to expand the 90% furnace, venting tables. Currently these tables show a 

maximum of four (4) 90° elbows and a maximum length of 40 feet. Amana has reviewed the 90% furnace venting tables 

and has revised these tables (attached) to allow applications with up to eight (8) 90° medium radius elbows and a 

maximum length greater than 40 feet for some models. 

Included in the following expanded venting tables are, non-direct vent (one pipe system) applications and direct vent 

(two pipe system) applications. 

The models that may utilize these expanded tables are; 

GUC***X**B 

GUX***X**B 

GUD***X**B 

GDC***X**B 

GCD***X**B 

The GCD***X**B direct vent (two pipe system) tables will not change from the previous (4) 90° elbows and a maximum 

length of 40 feet. These tables have also been included in this letter for reference. 

Amana is in the process of adding this information to our installation manuals and service manuals. This letter may be 

used to inform local code officials and inspectors about this clarification to the furnace venting capabilities.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: GUIB / GCIB Furnaces Radiant Flame Sensors 

NO: NO: GF-134-S 

If you should experience a flame sense problem with a GUIB series furnace, it is important to verify correct positioning 

and alignment of the components before replacing the flame sensor. The illustration below shows proper positioning 

and alignment of the ignitor, radiant shield, and flame sensor. Most flame sensor related lockouts can be attributed to 

improper positioning of the ignitor, radiant shield, and or the sensor. NOTE: Any bending, twisting, or distortion of the 

electrical tabs on the sensor will adversely affect the calibration of the switch and result in unacceptable performance 

of the sensor. 

Per Service Letter GF-124, for natural gas operation the NOX screens may be removed in all burners except the 

burner with the ignitor and sensor. The NOX screen presence improves radiant heat sensing. For propane operation, 

all NOX screens must be removed. 

In our continuing effort to improve product performance and reliability a change was made to the radiant flame sensors 

in May 1995 (date code of 5/95 or later) These changes included heavier contacts, a larger sensor window, and tighter 

switch value tolerances. Our testing indicates these changes have measurably improved sensor performance and 

reliability. 

Radiant shield 

The ignitor must be positioned 

directly in front of the burner as 

shown. The burner flame must 

impinge on the ignitor.

SAFETY NOTICE 


SUBJECT: SUBJECT: GUID070 Furnace, Potential Induced Draft Blower Leakage 

NO: NO: GF-133-S 

Amana is instituting a mandatory rework of all GUID070(CA/CX)(30/40) model furnaces manufactured prior to November 

1, 1996 (serial number prefix 9611). These furnaces may have a small gap between the ID Blower and the flue 

outlet box. This condition, combined with a blocked flue, can allow a minute amount of flue gas spillage prior to the 

pressure switch opening. 

To prevent this condition a bead of high temperature RTV sealant must be added to seal the gap (2 places) as shown 

in the illustration. The illustration shows the ID Blower removed from the furnace and looking at the back side (collector 

box side) of the blower. The following procedure lists the steps involved in sealing this gap. 

1. Disconnect power supply (if installed) and remove access door. 

2. Remove the 5 screws securing the ID Blower to the rotating plate. 

3. Carefully remove the ID Blower so as not to tear or 

damage the gasket. In most cases the gasket will not 

need to be replaced on units that have not been fired. 

Those units that have been operated in the heating 

mode will need to have a new gasket installed. 

4. Apply a 1/4" to 3/8" bead of high temperature RTV silicone 

sealer to the locations indicated in the illustration. 

Allow the RTV sealant to skin over, approximately 5 

minutes before reinstalling the blower. 

5. Reinstall the ID Blower using a new gasket if required. 

6. If the furnace is installed, reconnect flue and electrical 

power and check for proper furnace operation. 

It is recommended that a supply of gaskets Amana part number 

11142201 be kept on hand for units that have been operated 

in the heating mode. Also required is RTV silicone sealer 

with a 500°F continuous rating for sealing the transition collar. 

Amana has available 732 RTV Sealer, part number M0275597, 

in a 3 oz. tube, or part number M0275501 (white) or M0275563 

(clear) in 10 oz. tubes for use in caulking guns. 

Apply RTV sealant 

to the locations shown 


If the Induced Draft Blower is sealed as specified above on GUID070's manufactured October 1996 (serial number 

prefix 9610) and prior, Amana will provide labor as described below. Units manufactured 9610 and prior, shipped after 

11/1/96, will have the Induced Draft Blower sealed from the factory and do not require rework. These units can be 

identified by the Brown dot on the bar code label. Units manufactured 9611 and later do not require rework.


Amana Iowa for processing by December 31, 1997. 


Amana will pay $25.00/unit labor to seal the ID Blower on inventory/stock units in Distributor inventories. Complete a 

PRF (Parts Return Form) marked "GUID ID Blower/Project 8448" and list model, manufacturing and serial number of 

units on which the ID Blower was sealed. 


Amana will pay $32.00/unit labor to seal the ID Blower on inventory/stock units in dealer inventory. Labor for sealing 

the ID Blower on installed units will be issued at class "A" in home service rates. A warranty tag (A173-9) must be 

completed for each unit serviced which is in Dealer inventory or installed. Send the original white (Amana) copy of the 

tag, the yellow and pink (Distributor) copy of the tag to the distributor. 




Upon receipt of proper documentation at Amana, Iowa, part credit will be issued to the distributor (if applicable) and 

labor credit directly to the servicer. In the event the dealer is not set up as an authorized servicer, labor will be issued 

to the distributor (at the distributors rate) to pass along to the dealer.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: 90% Furnace Ignitor Evaluation 

NO: NO: GF-131 

In our continuing effort to improve ignitor reliability and extend the life of hot surface ignitors, Amana is in the process 

of producing a limited production field evaluation of two furnace ignitor/ignition control systems. These ignition control 

evaluations will be limited to two models of Amana furnaces, they are the GUC090X35BI and GUX070X30BI models. 

These furnaces can be identified by the letter "I" as the eleventh or last character of the model number. 

The GUC090 furnace uses a Norton 601XB Mini Ignitor. This low mass ignitor is protected by a ceramic housing to 

prevent damage. The GUX070 furnace uses a SiNi (Silicon Nitride) ignitor rather than the silicon carbide ignitor used 

on other products. The SiNi ignitor is made from a much stronger material making it less 

susceptible to breakage due to mishandling. The SiNi ignition control also modulates the 

ignitor voltage to keep the ignitor in the optimal range for ignition, without creating excessive 

ignitor temperatures which can shorten ignitor life. The ignition controls on both furnaces 

have a 5 second post purge of the induced draft blower and an auto reset feature. 

This auto reset feature allows the control to reset itself and retry for ignition after 1 hour if 

the furnace is in lockout. 

The GUC090 model also uses the Robertshaw 7222DER gas valve. If converting this 

model to LP it will be necessary to use the LPTK08 propane conversion kit. This kit contains 

the LP gas valve spring required to convert this furnace to propane operation. 

The following is a list of the new components used in these furnaces and alternate components 

that may be used if the originals are not available.

Note: The Silicon Nitride (SiNi) ignition system used on the GUX070X30BI is a "system". The SiNi 50A60-288 control 

requires a SiNi ignitor and vice versa. Therefore, if swapping components care must be taken to maintain a Silicon 

Nitride "system" (limited production components) or a Silicon Carbide "system" (standard production components). A 

unique ignitor plug is used on the GUX070X30BI wiring harness to prevent mix ups. 

If switching to the silicon carbide "system" it will be necessary to replace the ignitor plug. A service kit part number 

R0164258 may be ordered which consists of a replacement molex connector and terminals, or the connectors may be 

cut out and the ignitor secured with wire nuts. 

All other diagnostic procedures and failure codes remain the same as previous controls. For additional information on 

troubleshooting etc. please refer to the furnace service manual.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: GUIC/GCIC and PGB**C Induced Draft Blower Assemblies 


Fasco induced draft blower assemblies (Amana part number 10585402) used on the new GUIC/GCIC 40" 80% furnaces, 

and (Amana part number 11096901) used on the new PGB**C package redesign units, were manufactured with an incorrect 

washer in the motor bearings from the vendor. This can cause the blower motor to stick, or in some cases the wheel to rub 

against the rotating plate causing a loud scraping noise and eventual failure, resulting in a no heat complaint. 

To correct this condition it will be necessary to replace the induced draft blower assembly on all GUIC/GCIC furnaces and 

PGB**C package gas units to eliminate the potential for future failures. 

All inventory of new and unused ID blower assemblies part numbers 10585402 and 11096901 should be returned for 

credit, and new ID blowers part numbers 10585403 and 11096902 should be reordered for service replacement. Dealer 

inventory of ID blower assemblies must be returned to the Amana Branch or Distributor where they were purchased. 

All inventory/stock of GUIC/GCIC furnaces should have the ID blower assemblies replaced with the new 10585403 ID blower 

assembly. All inventory/stock of PGB**C package gas units should have the ID blower assemblies replaced with the new 

11096902 ID blower assembly. Do not cut the ID blower wiring when removing the defective blower. This will cause the ID 

blower to be scrapped, and may result in denial of credit. 

All product manufactured with serial number prefix of 9511 and later will have the new ID blower assembly installed as listed 

above. Product shipped from Fayetteville after October 27, 1995, and manufactured prior to 9511, will also have the new ID 

blower installed. These units can be identified by the gray dot on the carton adjacent to the bar code label. 

In most cases, a new gasket will not be required on inventory/stock units. However, it is recommended that a supply of 

gaskets (part number 11072601) be kept on hand as required. Also required is RTV silicone sealer with a 500°F continuous 

rating for sealing the flue duct transition on the package units. The GUIC/GCIC furnaces do not require RTV between the 

blower and flue duct collar. Amana has available 732 RTV Sealer, part number M0275597, in a 3 oz. tube, or part number 

M0275501 (white) or M0275563 (clear) in 10 oz. tubes for use in caulking guns. 


All claims for credit under this program must reference Project 8482 and be submitted to Warranty Administration at Amana 

Iowa for processing by November 1, 1996. Induced Draft Blower Assemblies must be returned in usable, undamaged 

condition. 


Amana will pay $20.00/unit labor to replace ID blowers on inventory/stock units in Distributor inventories. Complete a PRF 

marked "Induced Draft Blower/Project 8482" and list model, manufacturing and serial number of units on which the 

induced draft blower (10585402 or 11096901) was replaced. Box up the replaced ID blower in the box from the replacement 

ID blower and enclose the yellow (packing list) copy of the PRF with the parts and ship to Amana, Iowa. Mail the white copy 

of the PRF to Warranty Administration, Amana, Iowa. (Upon receipt of parts, labor and part credit will be issued to the 

distributor.)

assemblies in inventory, to Amana Parts Department, attn.: Jan Dostal (fax # 319-622-2837). A return authorization will 

be generated and sent giving authorization to return ID Blowers to Amana, Iowa. Upon receipt of parts, part credit will be 

issued. 


Amana will pay $32.00/unit labor to replace ID blowers on inventory/stock units in dealer inventory. Labor for ID blower 

replacement on installed units will be issued at class "A" in home service rates. A warranty tag (A173-9) must be 

completed for each unit serviced which is in Dealer inventory or installed. Attach the cardboard section of the warranty 

tag to the replaced ID blower. Send the original white (Amana) copy of the tag, the yellow and pink (Distributor) copy 

of the tag along with the replaced ID blower to the distributor.

Auxiliary Limit Mounting Clip used on GUIC Model Furnaces 


Amana is instituting a mandatory rework of all GUIC model furnaces manufactured between July 13 and August 7, 1995 

serial numbers 9507133880 through 9508174322. These furnaces may have an improperly manufactured Bracket- 

Auxiliary Deck Limit part number 10861101. This part was improperly manufactured by the supplier causing it to be 

brittle. In some cases the bracket may break which could result in the secondary limit moving out of position in the blower 

deck and become inoperative. The terminal connections at the limit are insulated and are part of the 24VAC low voltage 

circuit so no shock hazard exists. 

All GUIC model furnaces shipped from Amana after August 14, 1995 will have the replacement bracket installed. These 

furnaces can be identified by the blue dot on the carton adjacent to the bar code 

label. 

To replace the Bracket-Auxiliary Deck Limit; 

1. Disconnect power supply (if installed). 

2. Remove access and blower compartment doors. 

3. From underside of blower deck, grasp the Bracket-Auxiliary Limit, and pull 

forward to remove. 

4. To install the new bracket, hold the limit in position, align tab on new bracket 

with slot in blower deck, push bracket towards blower housing until seated. 

5. Replace doors and test furnace operation (if installed). 


All claims for credit under this program must reference Project 8476 and be submitted through the Amana Distributor or 

Branch for processing. Brackets will be sent no charge to branch and distributor locations.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: Furnace Minimum Circuit Ampacity and Maximum Overcurrent Protection 

There has been some confusion concerning the 1.25 multiplier used to calculate the MCA (minimum circuit ampacity) 

and MOP (maximum overcurrent protection). Currently our rating plates list the Full Load Amperes as required by ANSI 

Z21.47/CGA 2.3 - 1993. This includes the summation of the maximum amperage of all possible simultaneous loads in 

the furnace. 

The NEC and CGA codes require that the wiring and circuit breaker be sized for 1.25 times the largest motor load (in 

this case the circulator motor) added to all the other loads. If the rating plate FLA is multiplied by 1.25, the wiring and 

circuit breaker are needlessly oversized. To properly calculate FLA and MCA refer to the following formulas. 

FLA (Full Load Amps) calculated as: Circ. Blwr. Amps + I.D. Blwr. Amps + Ignitor Amps. 

MCA (Minimum Circuit Ampacity) calculated as: (1.25 x Circ. Blwr. Amps) + I.D. Blwr. Amps + Ignitor Amps. 

The actual MCA (minimum circuit ampacity) and MOP (maximum overcurrent protection) for all our current furnace 

models are tabulated in the charts on the following page. All furnaces can be properly protected by 15 and 20 ampere 

branch circuit breakers as shown. As the furnace models are revised or updated the MCA and MOP data will be added 

to the rating plates.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: 40" 80% Furnace Induced Draft Blower Assemblies 


In some installations the Fasco induced draft blower assembly (Amana part number 11009001) used on the new 40" 

80% furnaces has been found to produce objectionable sound levels, often described as a humming sound. This 

humming sound has been identified as a vibration caused by shaft motion or hunting in the induced draft blower motor. 

On motors where the shaft travel is at or near the outside limits of its tolerance, the motor shaft will hunt back and forth 

at a frequency of 120 HZ. This hunting or cycling may cause a vibration of sufficient intensity to create a resonance 

in the sheet metal components of the furnace, ductwork, or vent system. Our testing and field inspections have indicated 

this condition affects no more than 10% to 15% of installed units. 

To eliminate this vibration, a new ID blower assembly has been developed to prevent the shaft hunting. The new ID 

blower part number is 11009002. Furnaces produced with a serial number of 9411156538 and later will use the 11009002 

ID blower assembly. Furnaces built prior to serial number 9411156538, which have the 11009002 ID blower assembly 

installed, can be identified by the label "Inspected By 50" on the carton adjacent to the bar code label. 

All inventory of new and unused ID blower assemblies part number 11009001 should be returned for credit, and new 

ID blowers part number 11009002 should be reordered for service replacement. Dealer inventory of 11009001 ID blower 

assemblies must be returned to the Amana Branch or Distributor from whom they were purchased. 

All inventory/stock furnaces should have the ID blower assemblies replaced with the new 11009002 ID blower assembly. 

Installed furnaces should be handled on an individual basis. ID blowers assemblies on installed furnaces are to be 

replaced only when there is a noise complaint attributed to the ID blower assembly. (See filing procedures below). 

In most cases, a new gasket is not required. However, it is recommended that a supply of gaskets be kept on hand as 

required. Also required is RTV silicone sealer with a 500°F continuous rating for sealing the transition collar. Amana 

has available 732 RTV Sealer, part number M0275597, in a 3 oz. tube, or part number M0275501 (white) or M0275563 

(clear) in 10 oz. tubes for use in caulking guns. 



Amana Iowa for processing. Induced Draft Blower Assemblies must be returned in usable, undamaged condition. 


Amana will pay $15.00/unit labor to replace ID blowers on inventory/stock units in Branch and Distributor inventories. 

Complete a PRF marked "Induced Draft Blower/Project 8468" and list model manufacturing and serial number of units 

on which the induced draft blower (11009001) was replaced. Box up the replaced ID blower in the box from the 

replacement ID blower and enclose the yellow (packing list) copy of the PRF with the parts and ship to Amana Iowa. 

Mail the white copy of the PRF to Warranty Administration, Amana Iowa. (Labor or part credit will not be issued until 

ID blowers are received.)


Distributor/Branch must fax a listing, referencing "Project 8468" showing quantity of 11009001 ID Blower assemblies 

in inventory, to Amana Service, attn.: Jan Dostal (fax # 319-622-2837). A return authorization will be generated and 

sent giving authorization to return ID Blowers to Amana, Iowa. 


Amana will pay $30.00/unit labor to replace ID blowers on inventory/stock units in dealer inventory. Labor for ID blower 

replacement on installed units will be issued at class "A" in home service rates. A warranty tag (A173-9) must be 

completed for each unit serviced which is in Dealer inventory or installed. Attach the cardboard section of the warranty 

tag to the replaced ID blower. Send the original white (Amana) copy of the tag, the yellow and pink (Distributor) copy 

of the tag along with the replaced ID blower to the distributor. 



and send to Warranty Administration at Amana Iowa. Distributor will enclose the yellow copy of the PRF with the replaced 

ID blowers and ship to Amana Iowa. 

Upon receipt of the ID blowers and proper documentation at Amana Iowa, part credit will be issued to the distributor and 

labor credit directly to the servicer. Labor or part credit will not be issued until ID blowers are received at Amana Iowa.

NO: NO: GF-124A-B 

SUPERSEDES: SUPERSEDES: GF-124 

Amana has recently received AGA approval allowing the removal of the NOx screens from Amana 40" 

80% Furnaces. Removal of the NOx screens from Amana 40" 80% Furnaces will not have an adverse 

affect on flue emissions. Our tests have shown that the burner operating sound will be reduced after the 

NOx screens have been removed. This communication serves as approval for authorized Amana servicer 

to remove the NOx screens in accordance with this notice and local codes. 

Models using radiant sense ignition (GUIB and GCIB) installed on natural gas must have one NOx screen 

left in place at the burner where the radiant sensor is located. Leaving one NOx screen adjacent to the 

radiant sensor ensures that the radiant sense system operates at the optimum point of flame sensitivity. 

For propane gas operation, as stated in the LPTK __ installation instructions, all of the NOx screens must 

be removed.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: Common Venting 80% Furnace (Induced Draft) with Natural Draft Water Heater 

Amana allows for common venting of Amana 80% furnaces with natural draft water heaters per the National 

Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/Z223.1. Some utilities have implemented their own additional requirements not 

contained in any national code for induced draft furnaces, that being the addition of a "spill switch" on the 

draft hood of the water heater to shut the furnace off in the event of a blockage of the flue stack. These "spill 

switches" are available by third party manufacturers. 

The attached wiring diagrams show the recommended location for field wiring of such a device (single pole, 

normally closed, manual reset thermal switch) in our furnace wiring. The local dealer, contractor, or installer 

must get the system (furnace, water heater, and spill switch) approved by the local authority to meet their 

local code requirements. The spill switch should be wired in series with the primary limit as shown below. 

In the event that the spill switch trips, the furnace's inducer blower and circulation air blower will run 

continuously.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: LP Orifices and Conversion Kits 



Orifices used in LPTK05, HALP03 , HALP04 and B1417305A conversion kits have not been consistent. These orifices 

can cause the fuel supply to miss the spoiler screw in the burner, causing turbulence and/or improper aspiration of air. 

When this happens the result may be burn back in the venturi, difficulty lighting, or possible sooting in the heat exchanger. 

Parts currently sourced from a new vendor have tested to our specifications. 

Any furnace that may have the LPTK05, HALP03, HALP04 or B1417305A kits installed should be inspected for proper 

burner operation or sooting whenever a servicer is in a customer's home for service, preseason inspection or 

maintenance. If burn back or sooting is discovered, the servicer should first determine that the unit is operating with 

the proper gas pressure. Suspected sooting may be confirmed by the presence of a black residue on the inside of the 

flue pipe where the pipe exits the furnace. If the gas pressure is correct, then the orifices should be replaced. 

Reworked LPTK05, HALP03 and HALP04 LP Conversion Kits are available through the sales department and new 

B1417306A Kits through service. These kits can be identified by a red dot on the box. New orifices, part numbers 

10716002, 10716009 and 10716010, can be identified by the orifice size stamped numerous times down one side of the 

orifice. LPTK03 and prior LP Kits, and future LPTK05, HALP03, HALP04 and B1417306A Kits are not affected. 

All field inventory of the LPTK05, HALP03, HALP04 or B1417305A LP Conversion Kits, or individual 10716002

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: Propane Furnace and Package Unit Metal Insert/Turbulator Removal 

When converting Amana furnaces and Package Gas-Electric units from natural gas to propane gas, the most current 

installation instructions should be followed. 

Today's installation instructions state: 

All metal inserts, screens or turbulators must be removed from the entrance of the heat exchanger tubes in all indoor 

furnaces and package units being converted to propane gas. 

WARNING 


PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD 

All metal inserts, screens or turbulators must be removed from the heat exchanger tubes when using 

propane gas. Failure to comply could cause serious personal injury or death. Failure to comply with 

this requirement will also void warranty coverage. 

The performance of Amana furnaces and package units operating on propane will not be adversely affected if the metal 

inserts/turbulators are removed. We further recommend inspecting the heat exchanger to confirm the integrity of the heat 

exchanger tubes. Following this inspection, perform the following checks: 

1. Proper operating incoming and manifold pressures are: 

Natural Gas - 7" w.c. incoming and 3.5" w.c. manifold pressure. 

Propane Gas - 11" w.c. incoming and 10" w.c. manifold pressure. 

2. Proper gas orifices for the altitude and fuel used. 

3. Proper fuel (is the propane mixed with butane?). 

If a problem develops on units installed on natural gas, the metal inserts/turbulator should be replaced. In this case it 

is important to verify that the metal inserts/turbulator are properly installed and secured in the heat exchanger tubes. 

The tab on the burner end of the metal inserts/turbulator must be located between the heat exchanger panel and the 

heat shield on the manifold assembly. If the metal inserts/turbulator is not secured in this location, the metal inserts/ 

turbulator may creep out of the heat exchanger tube.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: Revised Horizontal Venting Instructions for GUD Direct Vent Furnaces 


Attached are the revised pages of the installation instructions showing the recommended horizontal vent termination for the direct 

vent furnaces. The attached pages replace Pages seven (7) through twelve (12) of the installation instructions. These changes will 

also supersede the information provided on Pages 20 through 26 of the GUDIGUX Service Manual, R2046-16. It is important to 

note the vent pipe sizing charts have not changed. 

These revisions are the result of field evaluation that indicates under certain conditions, particulary at subzero temperatures, the 

air intake screen may frost over causing the pressure switch to open preventing the furnace from operating. 

If the condition develops on a product installed using the old horizontal venting instructions, the venting should be changed to 

match the revised instructions attached. 

Units with serial numbers beginning with 9102 and later will have the revised installation instructions packaged with the unit. Units 

with serial numbers prior to 9102 and shipped after February 1, 1991 will have the revised pages of the installation instructions 

inserted through a slit in the side of the carton. These units can be identified by the orange dot adjacent to the bar code label.

A. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 

WARNING 

Failure to follow these instructions can result 

in bodily injury or death from asphyxiation. 

Therefore, carefully read and follow all 

instructions given in this section. 

THIS APPLIANCE HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR DI- 

RECT VENT INSTALLATION ONLY. COMMON VENT- 

ING OF THIS FURNACE WITH ANOTHER APPLIANCE 

(WATER HEATER, ETC.) IS NOT ALLOWED. 

Combustion air must be taken from outside the structure 

for proper furnace operation. 

CAUTION 

Terminate the combustion air intake as far as 

is practical from the air conditioning unit or 

heat pump, swimming pools, swimming pool 

pumping units, and dryer vents. 

WARNING 

Solvent cements are combustible liquids and 

should be kept away from all ignition sources. 

(Ia sparks, open flames and excessive heat). 

Avoid breathing cement vapors or contact 

with skin and eyes. 

All combustion air and exhaust piping must be installed in 

accordance with local codes and these instructions. 

When an existing furnace is removed from a venting 

system serving other appliances, the venting system may 

be too large to properly vent the remaining attached 

appliances. 

The following steps shall be followed with each appliance 

remaining connected to the common venting system placed 

in operation, while the other appliances remaining connected 

to the common venting system are not in operation. 

a) Seal any unused openings in the common venting 

system. 

b) Visually inspect the venting system for proper 

size and horizontal pitch and determine there 

is no blockage or restriction, leakage, 

corrosion and other deficiencies, which 

could cause an unsafe condition. 

c) Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and 

windows and all doors between the space in which the 

appliances remaining connected to the common venting 

system are located and other spaces of the building. 

Turn on clothes dryers and any appliances not 

connected to the common venting system. Turn on 

any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom 

exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do 

not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace 

dampers. 

d) Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance 

being inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so 

appliance will operate continuously. 

e) Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 

5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of 

a match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar, or 

pipe. 

f) After it has been determined that each appliance 

remaining connected to the common venting system 

properly vents when tested as outlined above, return 

doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and 

any other gas burning appliance to their previous 

conditions of use. 

g) If improper venting is observed during any of the above 

tests, the common venting system must be corrected 

in accordance with the latest edition of the National 

Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. 

If resizing any portion of the common venting system, use 

the appropriate table in Appendix G in the latest edition of 

the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

This Category IV Direct Vent Furnace is designed to be 

vented to the outside of the structure for the intake of 

combustion air. Consequently, the venting system must 

be done in a different manner and with different materials 

than with a conventional system. Two or three inch PVC 

Schedule 40 pipe meeting ASTM 1785, PVC primer and 

PVC solvent cement meeting ASTM D2564 specifications 

must be used. Only DWV type fittings meeting ASTM 

D2655 for socket dimensions and ASTM D3311 for exterior 

dimensions can be used. Carefully follow the 

manufacturer's instructions in cutting, cleaning, and solvent 

cementing PVC or ABS pipe. 

All 90 degree elbows must be either medium radius (1/4 

bend DWV) or long radius (long sweep 1/4 bend DWV) 

types conforming to ASTM D3311. A medium radius (1/4 

bend) elbow is 3 1/16" minimum from the plane of one 

opening to the centerline of the other opening for 2" pipe (4 

9/16" for 3" pipe). These dimensions are shown in Figure 

5. 

This furnace must not be connected to any type B, BW, or 

L vent or vent connector and must not be vented into any 

portion of a factory built or masonry chimney, except when 

used as a pathway for PVC pipe as described below. 

Flexible couplings for joining PVC pipe (sometimes called 

"no hub connectors") have been used by some installers to 

connect the field supplied portion of the flue gas vent 

system to the furnace. Amana Refrigeration, Inc. does not 

encourage nor recommend using these connectors. How- 

B. MATERIALS TO BE USED 

ever, if you do choose to use "no-hub connectors", the 

connectors must be gas tight, water tight, and able to 

withstand continuous exposure to the warm, moist, acidic 

flue products of the furnace. 

It is the responsibility of the installer to follow the 

manufacturer's recommendations and to verify that all flue 

pipe connectors used are compatible with the furnace flue 

products. In addition, the connectors must possess adequate 

structural integrity to prevent flue pipe separations 

during furnace operation or foreseeable misuse and abuse. 

This furnace is supplied with 2" and 3" air intake terminal 

screens. These screens were shipped in the same plastic 

sack which held this manual. For both vertical and horizontal 

installations, insert the appropriately sized screen into 

the air intake terminal until it is firmly secured at the hub of 

the terminal elbow. Discard the unused screen. 

If the vent (flue) pipe is exposed to extremely cold temperatures 

and/or long runs through unheated spaces or outdoors, 

insulation may be required on the outside of the vent 

pipe to prevent condensate from freezing. Canadian 

installers must take note of the "Additional Canadian 

Venting Requirements" on Page 28. Where required, use 

1/2" thick closed cell foam insulation such as Armaflex or 

Insultube. 

If the combustion air pipe is to be installed above a 

suspended ceiling or other area where dripping of condensation 

will be objectionable, insulation of the combustion air 

pipe may be required. Where required, use 1/2" thick 

closed cell foam insulation such as Armaflex or Insultube. 

C. LOCATION OF EXHAUST AND INTAKE TERMINATIONS 

1. All Installations 

This furnace can be installed with either a vertical or 

horizontal direct vent. In either case, the exhaust vent 

and the combustion air intake pipe must be located on 

the same side of the structure and separated by no less 

than 3 inches and no more than 24 inches. 

The following points must also be considered when 

installing the vent pipe in either a horizontal or vertical 

application: 

1. The vent termination must be at least 3 feet above any 

forced air inlet located within 10 feetException: This 

provision shall not apply to the combustion air intake of a 

direct vent furnace. 

2. The vent termination must be at least 12 inches from 

any door, window, or gravity air inlet into any building. 

3. The vent must terminate at least 2 feet above ground 

level or roof level. If heavy snow accumulation is 

expected, this distance will need to be increased. 

4. The vent shall not terminate over public walkways or 

over an area where condensate or vapor could create 

a nuisance or hazard or could be detrimental to the 

operation of regulators, relief valves, or other equip 

ment. 

CAUTION 

Do not terminate the combustion air intake 

where the air is often heavily contaminated 

with compounds containing chlorine or fluorine. 

Common residential sources of such 

compounds include: 

- Swimming pools and swimming pool 

pumps/filter 

- Clothes dryer vents 

- Remote air conditioning or heat pump units 

(a refrigerant leak would contaminate the 

combustion air.) 

- Plumbing vent stacks 

- Bathroom or swimming pool exhaust fans 

- Undried paint strippers, adhesives, paints, 

varnishes, sealers, waxes, and 

solvents.these are often used during new 

construction or remodeling. 

- Various commercial and industrial processes 

may also be sources of chlorine/ 

fluorine compounds.

2. Horizontal Vent/Intake Terminations 

Figure 1. Horizontal Vent Termination 

Position the combustion air intake terminal away from 

obstructions, above anticipated snow accumulations, and 

at least 12 inches above grade, as shown in Figure 6. 

The exhaust vent must penetrate the wall within the 

shaded region as shown in Figure 1. 

All exhaust vent and air intake terminal fittings must be 

medium radius (1/4 bend DWV) 90 degree elbows. 

To prevent unnecessary shutdown of furnace due to 

pressure switch trips, always determine anticipated snow 

accumulation level, and install the terminals accordingly to 

prevent exhaust vent and air intake blockages. 

If installation above snow accumulation is required, add 

additional elbows as shown in Figure 2. A 12" minimum 

clearance between the air intake and the highest anticipated 

snow level must be maintained. The exhaust vent 

must penetrate the wall within the shaded region as shown 

in Figure 2. 

Figure 2. Horizontal Vent Termination above 

Anticipated Snow Level 

DO NOT point terminals into window wells, stairwells, 

alcoves, or other recessed areas. It is preferable for the air 

intake to terminate on opposite or adjacent sides of the 

structure from the dryer vent. If this is not practical, 

maintain a 3 foot clearance (residential laundry) or a 10 foot 

clearance (commercial laundry). 

3. Vertical Vent/Intake Terminations 

If the vent and air intake pipes are to be run vertically 

through the roof, they must extend at least 12" above the 

roof line and shall be no closer than 12" to any vertical wall. 

The vent pipe must extend at least 12" above the air intake. 

See Figure 3. 

Figure 3. Vertical Vent Termination 

In areas where heavy snow accumulation is expected, 

these distances will need to be increased. The vent and air 

intake pipes must be made tight where they pass through 

the roof with a proper flashing such as used with a plastic 

plumbing vent. 

Maintain at least a three foot clearance from the air intake 

pipe to plumbing vent stacks. 

The vent and air intake pipe may be run through an existing 

unused chimney. However, the pipes must be run all the 

way through the chimney, with the air intake pipe terminating 

at least 12" above the top of the chimney. 

The flue pipe must terminate at least 12" above the air 

intake. The air intake and exhaust may run side by side or 

as far apart as necessary within the chimney. 

See Figure 9 for explanation. The open space around the 

two pipes must be closed with a weather tight, corrosion 

resistant flashing. NEVER VENT WITH AN EXISTING 

APPLIANCE OR A VENT USED BY A SOLID FUEL 

APPLIANCE. 

Figure 4. Venting Through an Existing Chimney

D. SIZING OF EXHAUST VENT AND COMBUSTION AIR INLET PIPES 

Consult Tables 3 to 6 to select the proper diameter 

exhaust and combustion air piping. The vent and air 

intake piping is sized for each unit model number 

based on total line length and number of 90° elbows 

required. Two 45° elbows are equivalent to one 90° 

elbow. For horizontal piping, the elbow(s) used for 

vent and air pipe termination outside the structure as 

shown in Figure 6 are not counted when using Tables 

3 through 6. The additional two 90° elbows as shown 

in Figure 7 must be counted. If vertical piping is used, 

the two additional 90° elbows on the air intake as 

shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 must be counted. 

WHEN THE VENT SYSTEM REQUIRED IS BORDER- 

LINE WITH NEXT SIZE COMBINATION CATEGORY, 

USE THE NEXT LARGER SIZE. 

IMPORTANT: One short radius 90° elbow is equivalent 

to 3 1/3 medium radius elbows. For this reason, short 

radius 90° elbows must not be used. The proper 

centerline-to-centerline dimensions for medium radius 

90° elbows are shown below in Figure 5. 

Figure 5. 

EXAMPLE: 

An installation calls for a 45,000 Btuh furnace. It must 

be vented 35 feet and use two medium radius 90° 

elbows on both inlet and exhaust. With this in mind, we 

must look at Table 3 to determine the correct vent and 

air intake pipe size. With two elbows and 35 feet of 

straight pipe, 3" air intake pipe must be used and 2" 

vent pipe. 

IMPORTANT: When three inch diameter exhaust pipe 

is used, the transition from two inch pipe must be made 

in a vertical run. This is necessary for proper condensate 

drainage and pressure switch operation. 

NOTE: Vent pipe diameters apply for installation from sea 

level to 2000ft. For installation above 2000ft. reduce the 

maximum pipe length as follows: 

2000-5000ft. above sea level-Reduce max. length 

allowable by 5 ft. 

5001-7000 ft. above sea level-Reduce max. length 

allowable by 10 ft. 

EXAMPLE: An installation at 6000 ft above sea level will 

use a nominal 115,000 Btuh furnace. The installation will 

include 20 feet of straight pipe and 3 medium radius 90° 

elbows on both inlet and exaust. See table 6. Use the row 

for three elbows, and go over to the column for 20 + 10 = 

30 straight feet of pipe. This installation will require 3 inch 

diameter pipe on botht the inlet and the exaust.

1. Horizontal or Vertical 

The size of the vent and air intake pipes is determined by 

the heating capacity of the furnace and the length and 

number of elbows of the pipe runs. To properly size the 

pipes, refer to the previous Section. 

Use only the fittings, primer, and solvent cement which are 

described on Page 24. An air intake screen (as described 

on Page 24) must be installed. This screen is supplied with 

the furnace. Do not place a screen in the exhaust vent 

termination. It is not needed, and the furnace flue products 

could cause it to corrode. 

WARNING 

SOLVENT CEMENTS ARE COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS 

AND SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY FROM ALL IGNITION 

SOURCES. (IE: SPARKS, OPEN FLAMES, AND 

EXCESSIVE HEAT). AVOID BREATHING CEMENT 

VAPORS OR CONTACT WITH SKIN AND EYES. 

Under some conditions, insulation of some or all of 

the vent pipe and/or combustion air pipe may be 

required. Do not install insulation until after the 

flue system has been inspected for leaks as described 

below. 

WARNING 

UPON COMPLETION OF THE FURNACE INSTALLA- 

TION, CAREFULLY INSPECT THE ENTIRE FLUE SYS- 

TEM BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE FURNACE TO 

ASSURE IT IS PROPERLY SEALED. LEAKS IN THE 

FLUE SYSTEM CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL 

INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO EXPOSURE OF FLUE 

PRODUCTS, INCLUDING CARBON MONOXIDE. 

E. PIPE INSTALLATION 

2. Horizontal Only 

For each 2 inch pipe, drill a 2 3/8 inch diameter hole through 

the wall at the proper location. 

For each 3 inch pipe, drill a 3 1/2 inch diameter hole through 

the wall at the proper location. 

Cut a piece of PVC (ABS) pipe that is the thickness of the 

wall plus the depth of the sockets of the fittings to be 

installed on the inside and outside of the walls. 

To prevent the vent pipe from moving, and possibly damaging 

the connections, locate the fittings on the inside wall 

and the elbow on the outside as shown in Figure 11 for the 

air intake. 

In a basement installation, the vent pipe may be run 

between the joist spaces. If the pipes must go below the 

joists, then the pipes must run up into the last joist space 

to go through the header. Two 45° elbows should be used 

rather than 90's. 

The horizontal run of exhaust pipe must not have any sag 

that can hold condensate and should pitch up at least 1/4" 

per foot so that condensate will run back to the unit to drain. 

Support the horizontal run at least every three feet. 

Allow for some expansion and contraction from temperature 

fluctuations. The normal direction changes usually 

account for this, but if you have a long run followed by a 

short offset of less than 40 inches such as going up into the 

last joist space, the pipes should be tightly clamped to 

prevent flex loading on the fittings. Seal around the pipe on 

the outside wall with silicone caulking material.

F. ADDITIONAL CANADIAN VENTING REQUIREMENTS 

ADDITIONAL CANADIAN VENTING REQUIREMENTS 

In Canada venting shall conform to the requirements of the 

current CANI-B149 Installation Codes. 

Use only C.S.A. listed 2" or 3" nominal diameter PVC or 

ABS pipe and fittings throughout. 

The minimum vent consists of 5 feet of straight 2" pipe and 

one elbow. 

The maximum vent consists of 40 feet of straight pipe and 

six elbows. See chart for diameter. 

The minimum air pipe consists of 5 feet of 2" straight pipe 

and one elbow. 

The maximum air pipe consists of 40 feet of 3" straight pipe 

and six elbows. 

A single wall vent shall not be run vertically through the 

roof. Although, the vent may be run through an existing 

unused chimney as described in the previous venting 

section provided the space between the vent pipe and the 

chimney is insulated and closed with a weather tight, 

corrosion resistant flashing. 

Cut all vent pipe at right angles. Remove inside and 

outside burr at each cut. Use clean pipe and fitting socket. 

Use CSA listed cement to fasten pipe and fittings. Follow 

manufacturers cleaning and cementing instructions carefully 

to avoid leakage. 

NOTE: ALL PIPING EXPOSED OUTDOORS OR IN 

UNHEATED AREAS MUST BE INSULATED WITH 1/2" 

THICK CLOSED CELL FOAM INSULATION SUCH AS 

"ARMAFLEX" OR "INSULTUBE". 

The vent terminal shall NOT be located: 

1. Less than 12" above the finished grade line. 

2. Less than 36" from any building opening or any 

gas service regulator (for gas service regulators in the 

Province of Ontario, 72"). 

3. Less than 72" from the combustion air inlet of 

another appliance. 

4. Directly above a gas utility meter or service regulator. 

5. Over a walkway unless 84" above grade.

NOTE: *Date Code: 8731 = 31st week of 1987. This was when the control was manufactured. 

**Fil. Cap. = Line Voltage Filter Capacitor 

The following tests must be made to insure proper operation: 

1. CHECK FOR PROPER GROUND: 

To perform this test all devices on the furnace circuit must be off. To accomplish this, turn off circuit breaker, remove 

the blower compartment door (door interlock switch open). Measure resistance with ohm meter (RX1 scale) from 

neutral to ground. If resistance from the neutral lead to the furnace chassis is less than 10 ohms, then this 

requirement is satisfied as far as the control is concerned.

GF-110 

2. CHECK FOR PROPER UNE POLARITY: 

This can be verified by measuring 120 V. from hot (black) lead to furnace chassis and approximately zero volts 

from neutral (white) lead to furnace chassis. 

3. CHECK FOR PROPER TRANSFORMER PHASING: 

This can be verified by measuring approximately 96 volts from L1 (hot) to "R' on the terminal board. If measured 

voltage is approximately 14A volts then the phasing is incorrect and can be corrected by reversing the leads to the 

primary of the transformer. 

After all of the foregoing tests have been completed and a flame sensing problem still exists, the following additional 

tests and procedures must be performed. 

4. CHECK FOR COATtHO ON FLAME SENSOR. 

Measure microamp signal on flame sensor and compare to table provided. 

B. If signal is Iow or marginal, clean sensor with emery cloth and check flame sensor to burner gap. The gap must 

be 3J16' -+ 1116'. 

NOTE: Contaminated fuel or combustion air can create a nearly invisible coating on the flame sensor. This coating 

works as an insulator causing a loss in the flame sense signal. If this situation occurs the flame sensor must be 

cleaned with emery clotfY or steel wool. 

C. Measure microamp signal. 

D. If microamp signal did not improve, replace flame sensor. 

E. Test for proper operation.



SUBJECT: SUBJECT: GHN Furnace Fan Controls 


Some early GHN furnaces using the T.O.D. snap disc type fan control, Part Numbers C6456101 and C6456103, 

have experienced short cycling of the air circulation blower at the beginning of the heating cycle. These controls 

were used on GHN furnaces built prior to June 1989. 

This condition can occur if the bumper gauging within the control was originally gauged on the Iow end of T.O.D.'s 

specifications. As bumper wear and contact buildup occurs over time, the control can develop a condition where it 

appears to have zero differential. This condition is the result of the original bumper gauging and contact buildup 

reducing the contact gap, and the natural tendency for the snap disc to creep just before switching. The blower will 

cycle as the snap disc creeps back and forth making and breaking the contacts. 

By revising the gauging specifications and bumper sizing of the control, the zero differential condition is eliminated 

within the fan control thus preventing short cycling of the air circulation blower. 

Labor claims for field replacement of C6456101 and C6456103 T.O.D. fan controls will be paid under class 'A" inhome 

service rate. To receive labor reimbursement, submit the white (Amana) copy of the completed warranty tag 

(A173-8) to: Amana Refrigeration, Inc., Attn: Warranty Administration, Amana, IA 52204. 

The new controls will feature a red label and a new part number to help distinguish them from the old controls. The 

new control part numbers are as follows: 

C6456104 replaces the C6456101 used on G H N45 through 90 

C6456105 replaces the C6456103 used on GHN 115

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: GUC Furnace Limit Control Settings 


LETTER 

LETTER 


Some GUC furnaces have been found to be cycling on the helical limit control even though the furnace is operating in 

the prescribed temperature rise range. AGA has now approved higher limit settings for these furnaces. However, before 

the limit control is adjusted or replaced the following items should be checked. 

1. Verify proper air flow by first checking for loose insulation which may be obstructing the blower, blower wheel 

or fan and limit control. Next check the total external duct static and temperature rise to be sure they are within 

published limits. 

2. Check for contact between the fan and limit control and the heat exchanger tubes. The control can be 

repositioned by loosening the two (2) mounting screws and moving the limit side to side, or by tightening down 

a mounting screw on one side more than the other. 

3. If the problem still persists the control may be adjusted to the alternate limit setting (remember to release a 

locking tab before adjusting) or change the control to the alternate part number. In most cases it may be 

preferable to use the alternate control because if the limit trips were a result of a limit out of calibration, 

resetting the control may not overcome the calibration problem. 

Listed below are the old production, current production, and alternate limit controls along with their temperature settings. 

The "B' model or furnaces with flame roll out protection will use the limit controls listed in the current production category.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: C6411102 White Rogers Self Diagnostic Control 


LETTER 

LETTER 


A new White-Rogers C6411102 Ignition Control has been released to replace the C6411101 control on the Air 

Command 80 and 90 furnaces built after September of 1989, 8909 Serial Numbered Units. 

This control is equipped with a red indicator light to the left of the terminal strip to aid the servicer in diagnosis of the 

furnace complaint. 

During normal operation the indicator light will remain off. The red light will also remain off if 24 V. power is not 

reaching the control. A solid red light would indicate a failure in the control and should be replaced. A flashing light 

would indicate that the control is good and that the servicer should begin checking other areas in the furnace for the 

problem. 

The C6411102 control requires that the hot side of the 120 volt power supply be connected to the L (or L~) terminal 

of the ignition control. If the line polarity is reversed the control will not sense flame and lock out. The C6411101 did 

not have this requirement. If a C6411101 is being replaced with a C6411102 and the furnace locks out, (flashing red 

light) verify that there is 120 volt to ground from the L (or L1) terminal on the control.

ALL SAFETY NOTICE LETTERS ARE TO BE READ IMMEDIATELY AND APPROPRIATE ACTION 

TAKEN AS REQUIRED. 

FAILURE TO INSPECT AND INSTALL THE R0156727 POSITIVE LOCK- 

ING BRACKET COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.. 

We have become aware of a potential safety problem relatin9 to the GHN and GCN furnaces. A condition 

exists in which the flue vent pipe may inadvertently become disconnected at a joint. If the pipe becomes 

disconnected, it is possible for produ.cts of combustion, including carbon monoxide, to build up and circulate 

within the building where the furnace is installed. 

Because of the possibility of illness or death due to carbon monoxide exposure, it is necessary to locate and 

correct all affected furnaces so that the flue vent pipe is mechanically solid and cannot come apart. 

This correction is to be done per this letter and the ATTACHED R0158686 INSTRUCTIONS. We began 

shipping some R0156727 Assemblies to your Amana Distributor or Amana Branch on December 2, 1988. 

The products affected are all GHN and GCN furnaces manufactured before November 23, 1988. This will 

include furnaces ending with serial number 8811117395. 

All of these units must be located, reworked, and reported back to Amana or your Amana Distributor or 

Amana Branch at the earliest possible date. This includes units in your inventory and those which have been 

installed. In the items enclosed, you will find forms for your use in r~porting to Amana or your Amana 

Distributor or Amana Branch the status of the rework and making claim for payment for the work. It is critical 

that Amana or your Amana Distributor or Amana Branch receive back from you quickly the information about 

the units which you have corrected.

TO: All Distributor & Branch Service Managers DATE: January 26, 2005 

NO: FP-0019 

SUBJECT: Revised Procedure for Filing Indoor Coil Product Exchanges 

In an effort to simplify the filing process and expedite payment, we have revised the process for submitting indoor 

coil product exchange requests. The procedure outlined below explains the process of approving and filing this 

type of product exchange. Product exchanges for all other equipment must be submitted following the current 

procedure. 

Coils should only be replaced when there is an unrepairable coil leak (leak in the fin area) or there is an internal 

restriction that cannot be repaired. Repairable coil leaks such as a leak at a return bend or distributor tube solder 

joint are to be repaired and not replaced. In addition, expansion valve failures are not a valid reason for replacing 

a coil, the expansion valve must be replaced and the coil put back into service. 

1. The warranty claim form (RF000007) is to be completed by the dealer making the repair and returned 

to the distributor. 

2. The distributor is to verify all the appropriate information is recorded on the claim form. 

3. The failed indoor coil information and the outdoor unit information must be listed in section 2 of the 

claim form. 

4. The failed coil model number is to be entered in the failed part field, and the replacement model 

number is to be entered in the replacement part field of the claim form. 

5. The old and new coil serial numbers are to be recorded in section 7 on the line for the failed and new 

compressor serial numbers. 

6. The reason for the coil replacement must be listed in section 6 of the claim form tag utilizing the 

component cause codes. The claim cannot be processed without this information. 

7. Upon verification of the pertinent information, the distributor may submit the warranty claim online 

through SECURENET. 

8. All pertinent information must be entered on the online claim form. 

9. All required documentation for each product exchange filed online must be forwarded to the 

Goodman Warranty Department. The defective coil serial plate (when a cased coil is used, the serial 

plate from the original coil must be submitted) is to be attached to the hard half copy of the warranty 

claim form RF000007, the warranty registration card from the replacement product, and the Part 

Return Form RF000008 referenced with the online submittal (Note: Please don t intermix with part 

returns or scrap parts). List only defective coils on this PRF and forward to: 


Warranty Administration 


Houston, TX 77040 

10. The claim will be paid upon receipt of the documentation. 

If you have any questions regarding this procedure, please contact Warranty Administration at 1-877-688-9191.

the following information: start date of the problem, detail of the problem as reported, model and serial # of 

affected unit(s), specific department(s) and person(s) assigned to address the reported issue(s), along with 

the final corrective and/or preventive action(s) taken to address the issue(s). 

Not all reported issues are entered into the PQR database, but each and every one is taken very seriously 

and will be investigated to determine if in fact it the issue warrants being logged and tracked in our PQR 

database. Some issues reported are merely installation related problems and call for on ly more training of the 

installers on proper installation procedures or end user training as to proper operation of the equipment, while 

others may be related to a real product quality issue (i.e. manufacturing issue, component issue, etc.) and 

these will be logged and tracked in the PQR database depending on their frequency and severity as outlined 

in our internal PQR procedures. 

When a product quality issue is entered into the PQR database, a notification is sent via email or fax to the 

originator of the product quality issue as verification that the issue has been logged and assigned to the 

appropriate department(s) to be investigated. When the product quality related issue has been resolved, an 

action report detailing the corrective and/or preventive ac tion taken to address the issue is provided to the 

originator of the reported product quality issue via email or fax. 

We appreciate your assistance in this matter and strive to continue to provide you with products of the 

highest quality and value.

TO: All Distributor & Branch Service Managers DATE: December 19, 2003 

NO: FP-0015 

SUBJECT: Revised Company Warranty Claim Form Process For Distributors 

As part of Goodman’s commitment to improve the warranty claim process, we have consolidated the warranty 

claim forms for the Goodman and Amana brands. The new warranty claim form has been re-structured to 

incorporated features of both current claim forms into one universal form to be used by all of customers 

regardless of the brand of equipment repaired. 

The new claim form contains many changes. Some implemented by Goodman to allow us to better serve our 

customers. Several of the changes are the result of comments from dealers or distributors through the years. 


warranty reporting. In addition to conforming with our “One Company, Two Brands” theme, the new claim form 

will provide additional information that will allow Goodman warranty departments to address field issues and 

process claims faster and more efficiently with less rejected claim. This will result in more timely payment to our 

customers. 

The new form includes several changes. One added field requires the outdoor unit information on claims for 

indoor coils and blowers. This information is essential since many of the warranties for these serialized units are 

dependant on the matching outdoor unit. This will reduce the number of rejected claims requesting this 

information. Failure/ component cause coding has been added. This will enable Goodman to respond faster and 

provide more accurate information to the field on service issues.

1. Warranty type check boxes -- At the top of the claim form, there are four boxes that identify the type of 

warranty claim being filed. It is mandatory that one of these boxes be checked so the claim can be 

processed correctly. If requesting part warranty and labor (extended warranty, full factory warranty, or 

special labor concession), the appropriate box for each must be checked. The box descriptions are as 

follows: 


warranty as stated in the warranty certificate shipped with the product. Labor only included on certain 

models 

b. Extended Warranty – if the product is covered by a Goodman extended service policy (Asure or 

Goodcare) check this box and enter the contract number and expiration date in section 10.

replacement part is within the 1-year part warranty. Customer’s proof of purchase must be attached to 

the warranty claim. 

d. Special Labor Allowance – check this box for any labor request that does not fall under the full product 

warranty or extended service contract as described above. This includes DOA, concessions, and special 

programs offered via Service Bulletins. Subject to policies outlined in the Distributor Service Policy 

Manual.

The process for filing warranty claims has not changed. At the present time, only Goodman warranty claims may 

be filed electronically. Amana claims must be submitted manually. We expect to have this capability in place 

February 2004. For customer’s currently filing claims electronically, the process remains the same. Only 

warranty claims and supporting documentation currently required will be required with the new claim form 

implementation. 

Distributor and dealer responsibilities remain the same as outlined in previous Goodman and Amana Distributor 

manuals. Dealers are responsible for completing the in-warranty or extended service contract service call. Once 

the service is complete, the warranty claim form is to be completed (form RF000007 Rev. 1.) in its entirely. Copy 

5 (last copy) of the warranty claim form is to be attached to the defective part. Defective parts with copy 5 

attached are to be returned to the distributor from whom the replacement parts were purchased. When the parts 

are covered by the factory warranty, copy 1 of the warranty claim is also returned to the distributor for processing. 

When the unit repaired has an extended service contract or is covered by a full factory warranty, the labor copy of 

the claim form (copy 2) is to be forwarded directly to the appropriate warranty department for payment to be 

issued to the dealer. If the part replaced is out of factory warranty but covered by an extended service contract, 

the part reimbursement copy (copy 1) along with the labor copy (copy 2) of the warranty claim form is to be 

forwarded directly to the appropriate warranty department to be paid to the dealer per the extended service 

contract. 

Distributors are responsible for processing warranty claims for dealers they sell Goodman parts. Upon receipt of 

the defective parts and proper paperwork from the dealer, the distributor is to determine which parts are to be 

scrapped or returned to the appropriate Goodman facility or manufacturer per the “Disposition of In-Warranty 

Parts” policy letters. The Parts Return Form (RF000008), referred to as the PRF or Debit Memo is to be 

completed. The types of parts on the claims listed on the PRF or Debit Memo are to be identified. Scrapped and 

returned parts must be submitted on separate PRF/Debit Memo forms. If not, the entire PRF/Debit Memo will be 

held in the pending file until the parts receipt confirmation is received from the warranty returns area for the parts 

being returned. Scrapped parts are to be held by the distributor for 45 days or until part credit is received from 

Goodman. In the event there are “scrap” and “return” parts on the same claim form, attach the warranty claim to 

a “return” PRF/Debit Memo. Attach the parts reimbursement copy (copy 1) of the warranty claim form to the 

white (Amana) copy of the PRF or a copy of the Debit Memo and send to the appropriate Warranty Department 

for processing. The white half (last) copy of the warranty claim form attached to the defective part, and the yellow 

(packing list) copy of the PRF or copy of the Debit Memo are to be packaged and shipped to the appropriate 

address. If shipment-tracking information is available at the time the PRF or Debit Memo with the attached 

claims is mailed to the warranty department, include this information at the bottom of the PRF or Debit Memo 

(include shipping company and tracking number). If verification of the returned parts is not received in Warranty 

Administration within a reasonable period of time, we can trace the shipment on-line. We can verify receipt of the 

shipment and process the paperwork without unnecessary delays or additional calls to you. 

Page 3 of 4

DO NOT include the PRF or Debit Memo with the attached part reimbursement copies (copy 1) of the 

warranty claim form with the returned parts. If the returned parts shipment is lost in transit or delayed in the 

returns area, this will cause additional delays in getting credit issued to your account. 

NOTE: The distributor is responsible for freight charges.

Customer purchasing parts directly from Goodman will continue to order the new warranty claim form through 

the Parts Department. The part number for the new form is RF000007 Rev. 1. 

Goodman will continue to process warranty claims received on the current form until the inventory has been 

depleted or December 31 st , 2003. As of January 1 st , 2004, only the corporate claim form will be accepted. 

Please call the appropriate Warranty Administration Department with any question regarding the new form.

SUBJECT: Evaporator Coils Manufactured with Aeroquip Distributor 

® 



NO: FP-0013 

It has been brought to our attention that a few distributors may have received a shipment of evaporator coils 

manufactured with an Aeroquip distributor installed where a Chatleff distributor should have been installed. The 

evaporator coils in question are: 

Model Serial Number 

CCA60FCC 0212125099 - 0212125173 

CCA60FSC 0212125274 - 0212125523

CCA54FSC 0212125628 - 0212125923 

CCA48FSC 0211128751 - 0211129242 

Located on the outside of the shipping box is a label that states, “COIL IS NOT TO BE USED IN TXV 

APPLICATIONS”. The TXV01A, 02A, and 03A kits cannot be installed with the Aeroquip distributor housing. The 

Aeroquip distributor is equipped with the proper size orifice for the high sales volume ARI rating for that particular 

coil. The evaporator coil cannot be used for installations that may require a TXV. 

If any of these coils listed above in your inventory cannot be used in a flow rater only application, please contact 

your customer service representative or call 1-800-645-6586 for return authorization. The Return Authorization 

must be received by December 31, 2003.



TO: All HAC Distributor and Factory Service Managers DATE: December 19, 2002 

SUBJECT: Condensate Blowoff on Amana CCA/CHA Counterflow Coil Applications 

® 



NO: FP-0012 

In our continuing efforts to maintain the highest quality products, the following changes have been made to the 

CCA/CHA coils to eliminate the condensate blowoff that can occur when these coils are installed in counterflow 

applications. 

Beginning July 2002, the CCA/CHA coils were being manufactured with a new fin press oil (changed from Oak 50-5 

to CFBL-84X3) to improve the wetability of the coils and reduce the potential for condensate blowoff when these 

coils were installed in counterflow applications. This change to the new fin press oil has also improved the airflow 

by 7% to 10% due to the coils shedding water faster. Also beginning August 2002, the enhanced fins were removed 

from CCA/CHA coils and changed to standard wavy fins, which in turn has also helped in preventing the 

condensate blowoff on the these coils when installed in counterflow applications. 

One thing to note is that counterflow applications are difficult applications and are less forgiving than upflow or 

horizontal applications. It is critical to avoid excessive airflow and to ensure that the coil is slightly pitched to the 

drain and that a P-Trap of sufficient depth is used to provide proper condensate drainage. 

We are requesting distributors audit their inventory of CCA/CHA coils for models built prior to August 2002 (serial 

date code 0207 and earlier) and use these coils for upflow applications only. Please ensure that you have an 

adequate supply of new CCA/CHA coils (serial date code 0208 and later) that have the changes as mentioned 

above for use in counterflow applications. 


We will pay class “C” in home service rate to install a new CCA/CHA coil (serial date code of 0208 and later) in any 

counterflow application that is experiencing the condensate blowoff problem on installed units. 



A warranty tag (A173 or RF000007) must be completed for each unit serviced. Reference Project Code 8556 on 

each claim. Send the original white copy plus copy 1 and 2 (Distributor copies) of the tag to the distributor. The 

distributor will summarize the warranty tags on a PRF (Part Return Form). The Distributor will attach the original 

white copy of the tag and copy 1 (Distributor copy) of the warranty tag to the original white copy of the PRF and 

send to Warranty Administration in Fayetteville, TN. 




All claims for labor assistance in conjunction with the Counterflow CCA/CHA Coil Condensate Blowoff Problem 

must be submitted to Warranty Administration in Fayetteville, TN for processing on or before December 31, 2003. 

All claims must reference Project Code 8556.

SUBJECT: Reporting Of Amana Units with Premature Fin Deterioration on Pre-Painted Outdoor Coils 

The supplier of the aluminum fin material experiencing premature deterioration (Norandal), referenced in service 

letter CAG-429 and Policy Letter FP-0005 has requested improved access to evaluate coils experiencing 

premature fin deterioration. In order to satisfy Norandal‘s request, Amana is placing the following procedures in 

effect immediately. The Distributor or Factory Service Managers must notify Amana immediately upon 

determination that coil is experiencing premature deterioration. Dealer must wait 72 hours before replacing coil. 

Exceptions are provided for instances were the system is not functioning. Please read the procedures carefully. 

Amana will advise Distributor if coil “site” evaluation is requested. Distributor/Dealer must hold coil for 45 days from 

the date unit is reported to Amana. It is important to note, the retention of the failed coils is 45 days from the date 

reported, not from the date of coil replacement or warranty claim. Prompt reporting of coils with premature fin 

deterioration will, in many cases, allow disposition of the coil before the coil is actually replaced. 

These procedures apply only to Amana built units with pre-painted aluminum material from October 1998 through 

July 2000 (Serial date codes 9810 through 0007). Amana product built with unpainted aluminum coils are not 

affected (VCB***, PCA**C, PGB**C, and PHB**C models). These procedures are in addition to the warranty claim 

procedures defined in Service Letter CAG-429 & Policy Letter FP-0005. 

Prompt reporting of failed coils is the key to successful management of this issue. Stress to your dealers the 

importance of reporting failed coils immediately. 

REPORTING PROCEDURES: 


1. Distributor will complete; Service Contractor information, Customer information, unit information, and date 

submitted on attached “Submittal” form. 

2. Distributor will fax completed form to Amana Technical Services at (931) 438-2236 or (931) 438-2273. 

3. Amana Technical Services will note confirmation and send reporting form back to Distributor with 

confirmation date/time. 

4. Amana will contact Distributor within 72 hours of fax transmission if “site” evaluation of unit is desired 

before coil is replaced. 

5. Dealer/contractor will wait 72 hours from confirmation before proceeding with coil replacement. 

6. The confirmation fax (sent back to Distributor) will serve as the “start of timing” mechanism for the 45-day 

hold period for evaluation of the coils. 

7. Exception: If the HVAC system is down (not functioning) and the repair involves the replacement of the 

coil, the Distributor must note this on the Reporting Form. Amana will make every attempt to confirm 

transmission and reply back to distributor in a timely basis. Upon receipt of confirmation fax, Service 

Contractor may immediately proceed with repair/replacement of unit. Normally Amana should be able to 

complete this operation before the Service Contractor can purchase, pick up, and return to job site with a 

replacement unit. Therefore this requirement should not impede the prompt repair/replacement of the unit 

in a distress situation.

NO: FP-0009 

In January 1999, General Electric changed to an industry standard winding / stator varnish on a portion 

of their NEMA 48Fr production. This varnish, in some specific outdoor applications, may not be as 

resilient to moisture exposure. In October 2001, GE converted back to the previously used varnish 

formulation. 

In the interest of maintaining the highest level of product quality, Amana is requesting the return all 

affected GE motors in Distributor and Dealer replacement parts inventories of the following GE Motors 

with serial date codes between 9901XXXXXXX and 0140XXXXXXX. 

This is not a product recall. Do not replace functioning GE motors in installed units. 



Distributor/Branch must contact Darrin Simms at 931-438-4584, you will be asked to fax a listing of motor 

part numbers and motor serial date codes showing quantities of 11112805, 11112806, 11112807, 

10584307, 10584308, 10584311, 10584313, 10584319, 10584321, 10584405, and 20181704 motors in 

inventory, to Amana Parts Department. A return authorization will be sent giving authorization to return 

motors to Amana, Fayetteville. 

Additionally, we would like to capture all of the above listed motors in dealer inventory. Please contact 

you’re stocking dealers and capture any GE motors they have in their parts inventory matching the noted 

date codes and have the motors returned to Amana. Do not attempt to return motors without a return 

authorization. Upon receipt of the motors and proper documentation at Amana, Fayetteville, part credit 

will be issued. 

Identifying the Motor Serial Number/Date Code 

The motor serial number is printed on the motor label as shown below. The first 4 digits of the serial 

number is the date code. Only serial # 9901XXXXXXX to 0140XXXXXXX are included in this letter.

SUBJECT: Revised Handling Procedures for In-Warranty Compressor Returns

Heating & Air Conditioning 

® 

NO: FP-0003 Rev. 1 

SUPERSEDES: FP-0003 

Effective immediately, Copeland and Tecumseh compressors are no longer to be returned to Amana for warranty 

credit. In-Warranty compressors must be returned directly to the compressor manufacturer for credit. It is 

important that you only return compressors with date codes of less than 20 months. Returning compressors with 

date codes beyond 20 months only serves to waste money on shipping costs and are subject to a 20% handling 

charge. 

Note: Amana is requiring the return of compressors on all product exchanges when the compressor is 

within the manufacturer’s warranty. 

All warranty claims for replacement compressors must clearly show the old and new compressor model and 

serial numbers along with the reason for removal (failure) on the warranty claim form. If the compressor is 

within 20 months from date of manufacturer; 

1. The servicer must complete a warranty claim form and attach the half sheet (Parts Return) of the 

warranty claim form to the compressor and return to their parts source. 

2. The distributor will summarize the warranty tags on a PRF (Parts Return Form RF000008) attaching the 

white (Amana) copy to the yellow (Copy 2/Parts Reimbursement) copy of the warranty claim form and 

send to Warranty Administration at Fayetteville, TN 37334. 

3. The yellow (Packing List) copy of the PRF must be returned with the compressors to the addresses 

shown below. Compressors or boxes must be marked “Amana Warranty Returns”. 

4. The refrigerant tubes must be sealed to prevent leakage during transit. 

Warranty claims for compressors that fail beyond the 20 months from date of manufacture are to be field 

scrapped. To receive credit, the compressor serial tag must be attached to the half sheet of the warranty claim 

and returned with the PRF and yellow copy of the warranty claim form to Amana Warranty Administration 

Fayetteville TN, 37334. 

Compressors must be returned to the addresses shown below for credit. 

Note: If you are a Copeland or Tecumseh distributor you must keep your compressor returns separate. Do not 

mix Amana and non-Amana compressors in the same return shipment.

SUBJECT: Revised Warranty Claim Form & Parts Return Form 

NO: FP-0002 

As part of Amana’s commitment to improve the warranty claim process, we have revised the key 

documents, the Parts Return Form and the Warranty Claim. The new forms have been re-structured to 

group all required information near the top of the form and eliminate unnecessary fields. In addition, the 

improved forms are now NCR, which will provide cleaner, neater pages for the second, third, and fourth 

copies of the forms. 

The new warranty form numbers are as follow: 

Warranty Claim Form RF000007 

Parts Return Form (PRF) RF000008 

The revised forms will allow Warranty Administration to process claims faster and more efficiently. We 

will continue to process claims received on the current Amana forms until stock of these forms has 

been depleted. You may call the Warranty Administration Department in Fayetteville at 877-688-9191 

to place your orders for these forms as needed.

SUBJECT: Motor & Fan Blade Replacement on A*09****MA & A*12****MA Units 



® 



PTAC-067 

There has been a part number change on the fan motor for the A*09****MA & A*12****MA Amana ® 

brand room air conditioning units. The change in motors involved changing from a sleeve bearing 

motor (Part # 150113051) to a ball bearing motor (Part # 150110432). 

Units produced February 2007 and later (serial date code 0702) are equipped with the new ball 

bearing motor (Part # 150110432), while units produced prior to February 2007 (serial date code 

0701 and earlier) were built with a sleeve bearing motor (Part # 150113051). The new ball bearing 

motor (Part # 150110432) has a different diameter shaft on the condenser fan blade side of the motor 

and cannot be used on models built prior to February 2007 due to motor shaft/blade fit up issue. 

If you need to replace the fan motor on a unit built prior to February 2007 (serial date code 0701 and 

earlier) you will also need to replace the condenser fan blade (Part # 10331155), or if you need to 

replace the condenser fan blade then you will also need to replace the motor with new motor (Part # 

150110432). 

If you need to replace the fan motor or condenser fan blade on models built February 2007 and later 

(serial date code 0702), all you will need to order is the motor (Part # 150110432) or the condenser 

fan blade (Part # 10331155). 

We are currently updating the parts manuals on these models to include this information to prevent 

confusion in the field when there is a need to replace a motor or condenser fan blade.

SUBJECT: Control Board Replacement Kits for “PTH/PTC - *A, *B, *C, *D and *E” Series PTAC Units. 

Control board replacement kit RF000185 will replace the current Control Board Kits RF000171 and RF000173, 

which were for use with PTH/PTC - *A, *B, *C, *D and *E series PTAC units. The RF000185 kit has a dual volt 

transformer, which will accommodate 208/230VAC and 265VAC units. It will no longer be necessary to order the 

voltage specific replacement control board kits. The transformer will come prewired on the Load (LOAD) Terminals 

and the Common (COM) terminal. The remaining wire will need to be connected to the transformer based on the 

voltage (either 230VAC or 265vac) the unit is designed for. 

The thermistors, ferrite core and transformer are available as individual service parts, so if one of these parts is 

needed for replacement, it can be ordered individually. Listed below are part numbers for each of these individual 

components:

SUBJECT: Control Board Replacement Kits for “ *A, *B, *C, *D, and *E” Series PTAC Units 

The current control board replacement kit RF000001 will be changing effective 01/12/04. The new part numbers for 

the control board replacement kits will be as follows RF000173 for 208/230v units, RF000171 for 265/277v units 

and RF000174 is for 115v units. When ordering or changing a board it is important to ensure the correct control 

board kit is installed on the unit. The new control board kits are voltage specific. The following nomenclature will 

help identify the correct control board kit. 

Model Type 

C = Cooler 

H = Heat Pump 

The new replacement control board kits will have an external transformer and the wiring to connect the transformer 

to the control board. Installation instructions are included in the kit. The transformer is available as an individual 

part, so if the transformer needs replacing it can be ordered separately. If the transformer is out on a current 

version board, the new kit will need to be ordered and the current board replaced. Only units that have the external 

transformers will be able to replace just the transformer if it is not functioning. The part numbers for the 

transformers are:

SUBJECT: PTAC Control Boards

NO: PTAC-056 

In some applications we have found that if the thermostat knob is not installed correctly, the internal stop on the 

thermostat may be broken and require a board replacement. The thermostat on the control board has an internal 

stop to prevent the knob from being turned all the way around. If enough pressure is applied, the internal stop may 

break and the thermostat will not allow the unit to operate properly. This would require the control board being 

replaced. The following illustrations indicate the incorrect and correct way of installing the knob. 

Incorrect installation Correct Installation 

To ensure that the internal stop does not get broken, it is crucial to make sure that any time the knob is removed 

and reinstalled that the knob is fully seated on the thermostat stem. The knob, if correctly seated on the stem, 

will not turn beyond the five o’clock position in the clockwise direction or the seven o’clock position in the 

counter clockwise direction. 

To reduce the potential for this condition, units produced after July 1, 2003 (serial number prefixs 0307 and later) 

will have the stop on the control panel raised from 0.130” to 0.150”. For units produced prior to July 1, 2003, the 

stop on the control board cover can be raised to help prevent this condition from occurring. After the knobs and 

escutcheon have been removed, insert a straight blade screwdriver under the stop. Carefully press down on the 

screwdriver handle to raise the stop. Reinstall the escutcheon and knobs.

In some applications we have found that the indoor coils are freezing. The conditions that can contribute to the coil 

freezing could be a result of low refrigerant charge or restricted cap tubes. In order to determine if the unit is low on 

refrigerant charge or if the cap tubes are restricted, the Delta T must be taken on the outdoor coil. Based on an 

average mid coil condensing temperature of 100 degrees with the entire unit exposed to a 76 degree room, if the 

Delta T ( mid condenser coil temperature minus the liquid out temperature ) is less than 15 degrees then the unit 

indicates a low charge. If the Delta T is more than 25 degrees then the cap tubes are probably restricted. The 

following illustration shows the locations of where to measure the temperatures. 

Once the temperatures have been obtained, subtract the liquid line temperature from the condensing temperature 

to determine the Delta T. For example, if the condensing temperature is 100 degrees and the liquid line 

temperature is 80 degrees, the Delta T would be 20 degrees. 100 – 80 = 20. In this instance, with a 20 degree 

Delta T the system would be operating normally. If the Delta T is less than 15 degrees and frost is on the 

evaporator fins for more than 10 minutes then the system is low on refrigerant charge. To correct this condition, 

recharge unit to name plate specifications. If the Delta T is more than 25 degrees, then the system probably has a 

restriction. To correct this condition the cap tube and strainer assembly must be replaced. The part number for the 

cap tube and strainer assembly is 20344301.


For replacing the cap weld assemblies, Amana will pay a Class D labor rate. If the property has more than one unit 

that is being repaired on the same day, the labor rate will be reduced by 25% of Class A labor rate. 

The white copy (Copy 1/Labor Reimbursement) of the warranty form must be submitted to Warranty Administration, 

1810 Wilson Parkway, Fayetteville, TN 37334 for labor payment. The yellow copy (Copy 2/Parts Reimbursement) 

of the warranty form must be submitted through your part source for part credit. If parts are purchased directly from 

Goodman, submit both the white and yellow copies of the warranty claim form along with your Goodman parts 

invoice to the address listed above. 

Upon receipt of proper documentation at Amana, Fayetteville, labor credit will be issued directly to the servicer.

SUBJECT: PTC-PTH***B***E Fan Blade Rub 

® 



NO: PTAC-054 

In some applications we have found that the condenser fan can hit or bind against the condenser shroud. This 

condition usually results from improperly positioned wall sleeves, obstructions in the wall sleeve, some competitive 

sleeves or units that have been damaged during handling. 

To correct this condition a washer with a thickness range of .090” - .125” needs to be added to the lower fan motor 

mounting tab. Remove the bolt from the lower mounting tab and insert the washer between the tab and the partition 

panel and reinstall the screw. The washers may be field supplied or part number 20103201 may be ordered. 

To reduce the potential for this condition, units produced after July 28, 2003 (serial number prefixs 0308 and later) 

will have the fan motor located higher on the partition panel to provide greater fan clearance. 



For units where the wall sleeve is properly installed and the fan hits are not the result of a damaged unit Amana will 

pay Class A labor rate for installing the washer as described above. If multiple units are being repaired at the same 

location on the same day the labor rate will be reduced 25% of the Class A on each additional unit repaired. 


1810 Wilson Parkway, Fayetteville, TN 37334 for labor payment. If the washer was purchased, the yellow copy 

(Copy 2/Parts Reimbursement) of the warranty form must be submitted through your part source for part credit. If 

parts are purchased directly from Goodman, submit both the white and yellow copies of the warranty claim form 

along with your Goodman parts invoice to the address listed above. 

Upon receipt of proper documentation at Amana, Fayetteville, labor credit will be issued directly to the servicer.

If you are installing a new Amana PTAC unit (model PT***B****) into an existing wall sleeve that has an 

existing (old style) drain kit installed in the sleeve, it will be necessary to cut the drain kit screws off flush with 

the wall sleeve. 

Failure to trim the screws flush with the wall sleeve may cause the chassis to not set flat in the wall sleeve 

and thereby not be properly leveled. 

The drain kit screws must be trimmed flush with the wall sleeve to avoid damaging the chassis base pan.

NO: PTAC-051 

In some installations of the 15,000 BTU Amana Package Terminal A/C units (models PTH15*A***D and 

PTC15*A***D), the subcooler assembly may vibrate in a manner that results in objectionable sound complaints and 

may rub through the basepan paint. Under extreme conditions this may cause rusting of the base pan and possible 

refrigerant leaks. 

To address this condition, Amana has released a “Subcooler Vibration Kit”, Amana part # RF000148. The kit 

consists of split flex tubing, gaskets and wire ties. This kit is to be installed on the subcooler and secured to the 

condenser. 

The date code range of the affected units is 0202 through 0304 (February 2002 through April 2003). 

If you should receive a complaint with respect to objectionable sound or rub through of the base pan paint on an 

Amana PTAC unit (models PTH15*A***D and PTC15*A***D) as a result of vibration in the subcooler assembly, 

Amana recommends installing the “Subcooler Vibration Kit”, Amana part # RF000148 to correct this condition. 



Amana will pay Class A rate to install a “Subcooler Vibration Kit” Part # RF000148, in an Amana PTH15*A***D or 

PTC15*A***D PTAC unit which exhibits excessive vibration. A warranty form RF000007 must be completed on

temperature, the reverse cycle heat pump is shut off and the strip heat is turned on. 

• Automatic Freeze Protection - Whenever power is supplied to the unit, automatic freeze protection is active. If the 

thermostatic sensor senses temperature below 40°F, the fan motor and electric strip heat (or hydronic heat, if 

applicable) are switched on. The heater and fan will remain on until the thermostatic sensor senses a temperature 

of 43°F. 

• Random Restart Delay - To help eliminate power surges after a power outage, the unit is equipped with a two to 

four minute random restart delay feature. Whenever the unit is plugged in with the mode switch set in the cool or 

heat mode, a random restart delay will occur. 

* A random restart condition can be avoided by setting the mode switch in the fan only or off position before applying 

power to the unit.

Automatic 3-minute Compressor Lockout - After the compressor cycles off, it will not restart for three minutes. 


NOTE: This delay may be defeated by shorting the “FD1” and “FD2” terminals together for a minimum of 5 seconds 

Compressor lock-in feature- Whenever the compressor is switched from off to on because the room temperature 

has risen above or fallen below the specified limit it will remain on for at least four minutes. However , if the thermostat 

point is changed during the four minutes this lock in feature is overridden. 

Automatic 2nd Stage Electric Heat (Heat Pump Models)- If the room temperature falls to 4°F below the set point 


Automatic Freeze Protection - Whenever power is supplied to the unit and the master switch is in the ON position, 

automatic freeze protection is active. If the thermistor senses temperature below 40°F+/- 5°F, the fan motor and 

electric strip heat (or hydronic heat, if applicable) are switched on. The heater and fan will remain on until the 

thermistor senses a temperature of 43°F. 

Fan Advance/ Delay- The advance feature will allow the fan to start six seconds prior to the compressor starting 

in either cooling or heating mode. The delay will keep the fan running for thirty seconds after the compressor stops 

in either cooling or heating modes. 

Remote Thermostats - Always use an approved thermostat supplied by the manufacturer. A wall thermostat that 

has not been approved by the manufacturer may not work correctly with this unit. 

Remote Functions - All functions are controlled by a wall mounted thermostat. 

Remote Fan- When GL terminal is connected to R terminal the remote fan speed is switched to low. GH terminal 

connected to the R terminal fan speed is switched to high. 

Fuse Protection- The fuse protection has been maximized on the 24 volt circuit so accidental groundings of the 

external terminals will not result in a burned out board. The unit may be operated in standard mode if the fuse is blown. 

There will be an auxiliary fuse supplied with the board. It will be attached to the main fuse by a plastic clip. The fuse 

is a 500ma fuse. When replacing the fuse always use the correct fuse part #M0804205. 

Random Delay - When the master switch is turned on or power is reapplied to the control ,all functionality will be 

locked out for a random period between two and four minutes, if Y or W inputs are active in remote or the mode switch 

is set to HI/LO heat or cool. The delay can be avoided if the front desk terminals are closed for more than two seconds, 

or the mode switch is in the off or fan only position. 

Transformer Selection- The board comes with the transformer selection set for on-board use, if an external 

transformer is utilized move the jumper from "ON-BOARD to EXTERNAL". The wiring for an external transformer 

then connects to the "EXT XFRMR" terminals. 

Indoor Ambient Thermistor- The Indoor Ambient Thermistor senses actual room temperature. 

Indoor/Outdoor Coil Thermistors- In the cooling mode, if the compressor is engaged continuously for 20 minutes 

and the Indoor Coil Thermistor is below 30 degrees the compressor is disengaged until the ICT rises above 45 

degrees. The Outdoor Coil Thermistor senses coil temperature which correlates to outdoor air temperature. Heat 

pump operation can operate as low as 24°F outdoor temperature depending upon humidity conditions and/or the 

balance point of the system. After defrost is initiated, the compressor remains off for thirty minutes and resumes 

operation when the outdoor coil temperature reaches 33°F. Electric resistance heat will maintain the ambient room 

temperature anytime the temperature falls 4°F below the room set point temperature. 

Load Shedding-The LS & IN terminals are used for load shedding. A switch can be added to close the circuit to lock 

out the compressor and electric heat when the power company or energy management system is trying to reduce 

its load for a specified time. 

Sample Before Start - The SBS routine is used in the cooling mode. This routine runs the unit fan on low speed 

for up to 120 seconds. The sample fan is aborted if compressor demand is detected. To avoid unnecessary sampling 

the period between samples will be based on specific room conditions. The default sample before start period after 

a power up is 5 minutes ± 20%. The period is corrected every time a sample run is completed without a compressor 

demand. The minimum sample period is 5 minutes and the maximum period is 15 minutes. 

Remote Temperature Sensor - An auxiliary temperature sensor ( RTS02) may be connected to the control that 

senses actual room temperature. This sensor replaces the Indoor Ambient Thermistor and will connect to the Indoor 

Air terminals on the control. 

PTAC-039B-B 

Page 2 of 3

Front Desk Control - The front desk control terminals are FD1 and FD2. These terminals will provide a connection 

for a user supplied switch that will allow the operation of the unit to be remotely defeated. 

Transfer Fan- A transfer fan may be used if a user supplied relay is connected to TF1 and TF2. Make sure the relay 

is a manufactured approved relay. The relay will be energized whenever the blower/fan relay is energized. 

Emergency Hydronic Heat - A switch can be added to the EH & IN terminals to close the circuit to enable the fan, 

enable the heater relay and lockout the compressor to continue minimum operations with auxiliary power, if the main 

power goes out. 

On Board Diagnostics -The LED light will flash once every 6 seconds. If an error occurs the LED will flash from 

2 to 8 flashes every 6 seconds. Refer to the chart below for possible causes for the flash codes.

position and the mode switch in the off position. Rotate the thermostat counterclockwise to the warmest setting and 

rotate the mode switch counterclockwise to the fan only position simultaneously and wait two seconds (or until fan 

relay engages). Return the thermostat and mode switch to their starting positions by rotating them both clockwise 

simultaneously. The diagnostic routine will run the unit through each mode in the following sequence:

NOTE: To override this feature for testing purposes, set the master switch and the mode switch to off, remote / 

standard switch to standard. Put the thermostat switch on the coldest setting (fully clockwise). Install a 33k ohm 

resistor across the RS and RC terminals on the low voltage board. This resistance will imitate a constant 75°F room 

temperature through the remote sensor input. Set the master switch to on and set the mode switch in either heat 

position. Slowly rotate the thermostat counterclockwise until the heat pump starts. The unit will continue to run in 

the heat pump regardless of the change in room temperature because the 33k ohm resistor causes the board to 

sense a constant 75°F. Be sure to remove the resistor before replacing the low voltage terminal strip cover.

Power-up 

The master switch must be turned off for 15 seconds and 

then turned back on (Test I) to allow the control time to 

fully power-down. Waiting 10 seconds after turning the 

master switch back on allows the control time for self 

diagnosis and timer reset. 

Short Cycle Compressor Delay 

Activating the front desk override function by pressing the 

black switch for approximately 5 seconds resets the 3 

minute compressor short cycle timer. This eliminates the 

need to wait three minutes between compressor cycles. 

NOTE: If the short cycle timer is aborted and there is a 

significant high side pressure, restarting the compressor 

may open the compressor overload (the automatic resetting 

of the overload may take longer than the three minute 

compressor short cycle timer). 

NOTE: In Tests VII and VIII where the front desk switch 

is used to override the three minute short cycle timer, the 

black switch must be released before pressing the red 

switch. 

Floodback Protector and Outdoor Coil 

Thermostat 

The Floodback Protector, located on the suction tube, 

protects the compressor against slugging. 

The Outdoor Coil Thermostat, located on the header side 

of the outdoor coil, switches the reverse cycle heat off and 

the electric heat on to protect the compressor against 

slugging. 

In Tests VII and VIII of the diagnostic procedure, the 

resistance of these controls is listed as a possible reason 

for improper functioning. To check these controls, disconnect 

them from the board and check the continuity of 

the switch. The resistance must be less than 200 ohms 

when the switches are closed. 

Floodback Protector will open when the temperature 

falls below 30° ± 5° F and will close again only when the 

temperature rises above 60° ± 5° F. 

Outdoor Coil Thermostat will open when the temperature 

falls below 25° ± 5° F and will close again only when 

the temperature rises above 50° ± 5° F. 

Results of the Diagnostic Test 

If a unit does not appear to be functioning properly, re-run

NOTE: To override this feature for testing purposes, set the master switch and the mode switch to off, remote sensor, 

set the temperature switch to standard. Put the thermostat switch on the coldest setting (fully clockwise). Install a 

33k ohm resistor across the RS and RC terminals on the low voltage board.This resistance will imitate a constant 

75°F room temperature through the remote sencor input. Set the master switch to on and set the mode switch in 

either heat position. Slowly rotate the thermostat counterclockwise until the heat pump starts.The unit will continue 

to run in the heat pump regardless of the change in room temperature because the 33k ohm resistor causes the board 

to sense a constant 75°F.Be sure to remove the resistor before replacing the low voltage terminal strip cover. 


automatic freeze protection is active. If the thermastatic sensor senses temperature below 40°F, the fan motor and 

electric strip heat (or hydronic heat, if applicable) are switched on. The heater and fan will remain on until 

theThermastatic sencor sense a temperature of 43°F.

NO: PTAC-032-S 

HWK03 & HVK03 hydronic heat kits shipped through October 10, 1996, used in the "A" series Package Terminal Units 

may contain a miswire situation that causes the hot water and steam valves to function improperly. A miswired unit 

will cause the valve to remain open and will allow the hot water or steam to continually circulate through the coil 

regardless of the mode switch or thermostat settings. Before proceeding with any rework procedure, confirm the unit 

operates in this improper manner. Kits shipped after October 10 with a serial number of 961000108 and prior have 

been corrected and can be identified by a yellow dot adjacent to the bar code label. 

If the unit is miswired use the following procedure to correct the wiring at the molex connector.

HYDRONIC STEAM KITS HVK03 Screw Interference 

Steam hydronic heat kits, HVK03, shipped through October 10, 1996, used in the "A" series Package Terminal Units 

contain an assembly interference that affects connection of the field installed tubing on the exit side of the coil. The “L” 

shaped mounting bracket engagement holes on the bottom side of the top assembly are located just below the exit 

manifold on the coil. Due to the slope of the coil, this exit manifold is very close to the bottom side of the top assembly 

cabinet. Therefore, the tips of the #8 X 3/8” screws interfere with the connection of the field tubing and may also touch 

the manifold on the side opposite from the field connection. Kits shipped after October 10, 1996 with a serial number 

of 961000005 and prior have been corrected and can be identified by a black dot adjacent to the bar code label.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: PTAC Cracked Basepans 


Some PTAC units manufactured January 1996 through February 1996 have been found to have cracks in the basepan. 

If water migrates to the front section of the basepan, cracks may allow water to leak from the basepan into the room. 

As a precautionary measure, Amana recommends inspecting units with serial number prefixes 9601 and 9602. If a 

crack is discovered, it should be repaired immediately using Amana's epoxy repair kit part # 20018301. 

Inspection Procedure Inventory/Stock Units: 


1. Inventory/Stock units; cut banding securing carton and pull staple securing the upper and lower carton sections 

from each end of carton. 

2. Lift and remove upper section of carton to expose unit. 

3. From the front of the unit carefully tip the unit back using care not to damage the condenser coil or tubing. 

4. Looking at the bottom of the basepan locate the support rib protruding outward from the pan, approximately 5" 

from the front of the pan. See illustration. 

5. Carefully inspect the basepan areas indicated on the following illustration for cracks. 

Inspection Procedure Installed Units: 

1. If installed, disconnect power supply, remove unit from sleeve and proceed as follows. 

2. From the front of the unit carefully tip the unit back using care not to damage the condenser coil or tubing. 

3. Looking at the bottom of the basepan locate the support rib protruding outward from the pan, approximately 5" 

from the front of the pan. See illustration. 

4. Carefully inspect the basepan areas indicated on the following illustration for cracks. 

Repair Procedure: 

1. If a crack is discovered, repair with Epoxy Repair Kit, Amana part # 20018301. 

2. Follow warnings and instructions contained in the kit. Cracks on the control panel side may be repaired by 

working from the inside of the basepan. Cracks on the coil side of the basepan must be repaired from the 

bottom side of the basepan.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: PTAC Thermistor Clip 


Amana has found under some conditions the thermistor clip on the new "A" series PTAC can crack, possibly causing 

the thermistor to move out of position and therefore not sense the return air temperature properly. To correct this 

condition Amana has released a Thermistor Clamp Kit, part number 11195501 to replace the factory installed clip if 

required. This kit is only available as a 10 pack and therefore contains the components necessary to replace the clip 

on 10 units. The illustrations below show the factory installed thermistor clip (figure1) and the replacement thermistor 

clamp (figure 2). 

PTAC's manufactured 9404 and later will have this clamp installed in production. Units manufactured 9403 and prior 

and shipped after March 15, 1996 will either have the new clamp kit installed or a single clamp kit will be provided in 

the box with the PTAC chassis for replacement when the unit is installed.

SUBJECT: "J" Series PTAC Door Bezel Failures 

NO: PTAC-29-B 

Amana has received a few reports of the door bezel assembly coming loose in the field. An analysis of these failures 

revealed in some cases the "ears" which lock the bezel in place are coming loose. After studying the failures, Amana 

recommends the following procedure to secure the bezel assembly in place. 

Material Required: Amana Part# M0275181 double-backed tape, (3M # 4046 Scotchmount 1/16" thick x 1" wide). 

Procedure: 

1 Remove the bezel assembly from the PTAC front. 

2 Cut a 2 to 2.5 inch length of tape from the roll. 

3 Split the 1 inch tape lengthwise into two (2) 1/2 inch wide strips of tape. 

4 Install one piece of tape on each side of the bezel. 

5 Remove the backing from each of the strips. 

6 Reinstall the bezel assembly by gently pressing the bezel assembly into the front frame.

SUBJECT: PTH Reversing Valves Substitution (3-Way to 4-Way) 

NO: PTAC-25 

Ranco's 3-way reversing valve is no longer available and is being replaced with Ranco's 4-way reversing valve design. 

The 4-way valves which feature fewer internal parts, provide for a simpler and more efficient valve design. 

A 4-way reversing valve kit will be provided as a service replacement for the 3-way reversing valve since the solenoid 

coil of these assemblies are not interchangeable. In some cases the tubing may need to be modified for proper fit, but 

in most applications the new valves are a direct replacement. 

Production units with the serial number 9308227959 and later will be manufactured with the new 4-way reversing valve 

assembly. The exceptions are units with serial numbers 9308228079 to 9308228178 (PTH12350J) and 9309199373 to 

9309199506 (PTH15350I) which were produced with the 3-way reversing valve assembly. 

To order the proper kit for the unit being serviced, it is necessary to know the coil voltage of the unit. The solenoid 

coils are color coded for easy identification. (See below.)

tube may split or crack. The elbow is located between the compressor discharge tube and the condenser (see diagram 

on page 2). The condenser inlet tube (hairpin) may crack at the brazed joint where the elbow is connected to the 

condenser. 

If the elbow is cracked, replace both the elbow (Part Number D9818912) and the compressor discharge tube, using a 

new redesigned discharge tube (Part Number 10455401). 

If the condenser inlet tube is cracked, replace the condenser using Part Number 10120202 for standard units, or Part 

Number D9871912 on Seacoast protected units. Also replace the compressor discharge tube, using the new discharge 

tube Part Number 10455401 - 

The new compressor discharge tube eliminates the potential of future failure. New products beginning with serial number 

91 10069164 will include the new discharge tube. Beginning with October 9, all shipments from factory inventory of units 

manufactured prior to serial number 9110069164 include special wood blocks under the compressors to prevent vibration 

and potential failure during shipment This wood block must be removed when the unit is installed 

The system repair as described herein is covered under the Sealed System Warranty (parts and labor for Serial Numbers 

8904-9010. parts, labor, and travel for Serial Numbers after 9011). 

PLEASE NOTE: When experiencing cracked or split tubing on any refrigeration system, always replace the tubing 

affected. 

Do not try to braze the crack or split. The tubing is weakened and though the original crack or split may be sealed, the 

tubing could fail elsewhere.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: Failure to Heat - PTAC "E" Chassis Heatpump 

In certain circumstances the “E” chassis PTAC will not provide heat when either “HIGH HEAT TM or “LO HEAT” is 

pushed on the selector switch. The indoor blower will operate. the compressor and outdoor fan will not start, and the 

electric strip heater will not be energized. This will occur when the outdoor ambient temperature is above 26~F. and 

the room temperature is below 36"F. 

The outdoor thermostat will keep the unit in the heat pump mode (not allowing the electric strip heater to work), and 

the floodback protector will open (not allowing the compressor or the outdoor fan to operate) - 

To correct this problem on the standard/seacoast unit remove wire VT1O from the “T6” terminal on the selector 

switch and connect to the “C” terminal on the OD FAN/COMP capacitor. Be sure wire BK1 1 r~ mains connected to 

the “T6” terminal on the selector switch. 

To correct this problem on the remote unit remove wire VT1O from the “2” terminal on the reversing r~ lay and 

connect to the “C” terminal on the OD FAN/COMP capacitor. Be sure wire BK1 1 remains connected to the “2” 

terminal on the reversing relay. 

By doing this the floodback protector will be defeated in the heating modes, allowing the compressor and outdoor 

fan to operate when the outdoor thermostat is in the heat pump mode. The floodback protector will continue to 

protect the inside coil from freezing in the cooling modes. 

IMPORTANT WARRANTY LABOR RATE INFORMATION 

1. When a single unit requires the above repair, a class “A” labor rate will be paid.

It has come to our attention there my be a "ticking" noise upon initial installation and start up of the "E" model PTAC units. 

A single "ticking" sound will occur on about every rotation of the blower wheel during indoor fan operation. 

The cause of this noise is the bearing shaft plate not being riveted tight enough to the end plate of the blower wheel. When 

this condition exists you my or my not notice a movement of the shaft plate during examination of the blower wheel outside 

of the blower assembly. 

Since corrective action has been taken by the vendor, this should be noticed only on units built during or before 

September, 1988. All service stock has been inspected and found to be free of this problem. 

If it is determined the blower wheel is causing this noise, remove and replace the wheel. There is no field repair of this

We have received some field reports of incorrect pin connectors in the 2-pin wire harness and the 

12-pin harness on flame rectification kit Part # 20224302 (used on previous Amana® brand 

GUIB/GCIB model furnaces to convert from radiant sense to standard flame rectification 

flame sense). The 2-pin wire harness (Part # 20219701) and 12-pin wire harness (Part # 

20219803) will not plug into the circuit board due to use of male style pins instead of female style 

pins. The date range of affected kits built is from only September 17, 2005 through November 28, 

2005, and there were only 75 kits built during this timeframe. 

The incorrect 2-pin wire harness has a male style pin connector (Figure 1) connected to the wires 

but should have a female style pin connector (Figure 2). 


(Incorrect) (Correct) 

Please check your inventory of these service kits (Part # 20224302) and inspect the 2-wire harness 

by looking at the mating end of the connector as shown above. The 12-pin harness should be 

checked also (not shown). If incorrect as shown in figure 1, you will need to order new harnesses

We have received reports that the single stage induced draft blower kit, Part # B4833000S, was 

shipped with an incorrect two-stage induced draft blower, Part # B4833001S, in the box. 

The two-stage induced draft blower is easy to identify by looking at the part # (B4833001S) on the 

blower label. The blower can be identified by the wiring harness, which has a black, red and white 

wire. It has a three spade Amp connector instead of two individual wires from the motor like on the 

single stage blower. 

If you have any of these single stage induced draft blowers incorrectly boxed with the two-stage 

induced draft blowers you have two options: 

(1) Re-label the box with Part # B4833001S, keep the motor and adjust your inventory

We have received reports that some single stage Jakel induced draft blowers Part # 0131M00002S 

have the wrong rotation blower wheel installed. 

The date code (45-05X) located on the induced draft blower label is the date code that has been 

reported with the incorrect rotation blower wheel. We have a preliminary serial number range of 

88523 to 90092 that you will need to check for the incorrect blower wheel. As we continue to look 

into this issue with our supplier Jakel, the serial number range may extend before or after the 

numbers we have listed. 

To inspect remove the induced draft blower from the box and check the direction of the blower 

wheel vanes. The direction of rotation is counter-clockwise as viewed from the shaft end of the 

motor. (Refer to the figure below for correct blower wheel vane direction and rotation of blower 

wheel). The incorrect vanes of the wheel are facing a clockwise direction to the right. 

If you have any of these induced draft blowers with the incorrect wheel it will be necessary for you

SUBJECT: New Amana Corporate 80% Gas Furnace Door Switch Issue 

On July 22, 2204 we sent out an Important Parts-Service Communication pertaining to an interlock door switch 

issue encountered on the new Amana 80% Corporate Gas furnaces, models AMS8, DMS8 and DHS8. 

Manufacturing was made aware of this issue and implemented a corrective action starting with furnaces produced 

July 20, 2004 (serial date code 0407673200 and later) to eliminate this problem. The correction was the use of 

rubber plug over the door switch to allow for the blower door to engage the door switch for power when the blower 

door was installed on the furnace (refer to the following figures). All AMS8, DMS8 and DHS8 model furnaces in our 

inventory are being reworked either by adding the plug (Part # M0326804) or rework kit (Part # M0326804S), which 

contains instructions and the rubber plug, to the outside of the blower access door. All reworked furnaces can be 

identified by a GREEN rework dot adjacent to the travel label. 

After further investigation of the issue, we have made the decision to change the interlock door switch from a 

plunger style switch to a rocker style switch and relocate the switch from the junction box in the blower 

compartment to the blower deck (refer to the following figure). This new switch is the same style interlock door 

switch currently being used on Amana

manufacturing in sequence based upon coil size. Because of this, it is possible that you may see two different sized 

coils with the same date code; one would be pressurized to 150 psig, and the other will not. Therefore, we will 

attach a statement of notification on the manufacturing label located on the outside of the evaporator coils box 

manufactured with the trace gas present. 

Evaporator coils with this new process will contain 150 psig of trace gas, which is made up of 25% R-22 and 75% 

dry nitrogen. Manufacturing will be using this addition of trace gas for leak check processing. 

The evaporator coils containing the trace gas will not have the rubber stopper plugs that were customary to installer 

but will have copper caps that are brazed onto the suction manifold and the liquid line connection. 

CAUTION must be used when removing the copper 

caps. The pressure must be relieved using the method 

suggested on the safety tag. The pressure must be 

relieved through the suction manifold valve core prior 

to removing the copper caps. After the pressure has 

been released, the caps can be removed by either 

using a cutting tool or torch to remove the caps. 

Coils that are sold with TXV’s i.e.: CHA**TCC, will 

have the TXV installed on the coil. The equalization 

tube will not be connected to the manifold. The TXV 

equalization tube will be equipped with a valve coredepressing 

pin, so removal of the valve core is not 

necessary. 

WARNING 

This product is shipped from the factory under high pressure. 

Pressure must be relieved prior to un-brazing cap(s) or 

cutting tubing. Un-brazing cap(s) or cutting tubing prior to 

relieving pressure may result in severe personal injury or 

property damage. To relieve pressure: Remove any access 

panels, remove cap from Schrader valve on manifold 

assembly and depress valve core to relieve pressure. 

® 



20442901 

Note: If little or no pressure is present when valve core is 

depressed, then coil most likely has a leak. 

Once pressure is relieved, un-braze cap(s) or cut tubing. 

Models with TXV: Locate TXV equalizer tube. Remove 

dust cap from equalizer tube. Without kinking, attach TXV 

equalizer tube to Schrader valve. Tighten connection to 

10-12 ft-lbs. TXV sensing bulb is close to field braze joint. 

Wrap with wet rag or remove when brazing interconnecting tubing.

SUBJECT: Possible Ignition Issues on PGA, PGB and PGD Gas/Electric Package Units 

This letter is to inform you of the possibility of the new PGA*C*2E/F, PGB and PGD*C*2E model gas/electric 

package units not lighting on Natural or Propane Gas. This issue affects only units built beginning the end of 

February 2001 (Serial date code 0102) to date. These units were built using the same burner bracket as used on 

our current 40" 90% furnaces. This change to the new burner bracket commonized the burner components and 

reduced the number of service parts required in the field. To address these non-lighting issues, Amana is in the 

process of releasing a new direct spark igniter that is scheduled to be available the later part of February 2002. 

Should you receive a field report or complaint of an ignition problem with a unit on either Natural or Propane Gas 

prior to the release of the new spark igniter, the first thing to do would be to check the following items: 





If after all the above mentioned items (1-4) have been checked and the unit is still not lighting, Amana recommends 

re-gapping the crossover gap on the #1 burner (crossover gap closest to the spark igniter) from .025" to 

.050" by using standard "Dime" (refer to the figures below). This change to #1 burner gap will allow more gas to be 

directed at the spark and allow for proper ignition. Once the #1 burner crossover has been re-gapped and the unit 

is lighting it will not be necessary to replace the spark igniter when the new igniters are made available the later 

part of February 2002.

SUBJECT: Possible Delayed Ignition on 48" 90% Model Furnaces 

Heating&Air 

Conditioning 

® 

This letter is meant to inform you of the possibility of delayed ignition on 48" 90% model furnaces that have had the 

White-Rodgers 50A50-288 Integrated Ignition Control replaced with a new White-Rodgers 50A55-288 Integrated 

Ignition Control (Amana Part # 10207709). This delayed ignition problem has been determined to be caused by 

the adaptive igniter warm-up timing routine of the 50A55-288 ignition control. Refer to Figure #1 on Page 2 for an 

illustration of the adaptive igniter timing that is causing the delayed ignition problem. 

Should you receive a field report or complaint in which a 48" 90% furnace is having delayed ignition, the first check 

would be to see what ignition control the furnace has. If the furnace has a 50A55-288 ignition control and is having 

delayed ignition problems, it will be necessary to replace this control with a 50A50-288 ignition control that has the 

fixed igniter warm-up time. Refer to Figure #2 on Page 2 for an illustration of the fixed igniter timing. If the furnace 

already has a 50A50-288 ignition control and delayed ignition is occurring, the problem is being caused by some 

other factor other than the ignition control and the following should be checked: 





All distributors should check their inventory for 50A50-288 ignition controls and if you have any of these controls 

put them on special reserve so they can be used for correcting the delayed ignition problem as described above. 

Amana does have a limited supply of 50A50-288 ignition controls, and if a control is needed it can be ordered by 

calling either Stan Roberts @ 931-438-2268 or Darrin Simms @ 931-438-5484. 

Amana is currently working with White-Rodgers on a revision to the 50A55-288 ignition control. The new 50A55- 

288 ignition control will have a "DIP Switch" that can be set for either a fixed igniter warm-up time or adaptive 

igniter warm-up time routine. The revised 50A55-288 controls are scheduled to be released sometime in March 

2001. 

This letter is simply to inform you of this potential condition and the corrective action that is required before your 

dealers call and question you. 

Page 1 of 2


Amana will pay class "A" in home service rate to inspect and regap the # 1 burner crossover if needed on installed 

units. 


A warranty tag (A173 or RF000007) must be completed for each unit serviced. Send the original white (Amana) 

copy plus copy 1 and 2 (Distributor copies) of the tag to the distributor. The distributor will summarize the warranty 

tags on a PRF (Part Return Form). The Distributor will attach the original white (Amana) copy of the tag and copy 

1 (Distributor copy) of the warranty tag to the original white (Amana) copy of the PRF and send to Warranty 

Administration at Amana, Fayetteville. Also attach a copy of this letter with the warranty paperwork as authorization. 

Upon receipt of proper documentation at Fayetteville, TN, labor credit will be issued directly to the servicer. In the 

event the dealer is not set up as an authorized servicer, labor will be issued to the distributor (at the distributors 

rate) to pass along to the dealer.

SUBJECT: Gas Line Hole in Furnace Left Side Panel 

® 



This letter is meant to inform you of possible gas line alignment questions you may receive 

from your dealers. Approximately 900 GUIC and GUID model furnaces were built in July and 

August 1997 (9706 & 9707) with the gas line hole in the left side panel about 1" closer to the 

front of the furnace than normal. This was caused by an incorrectly positioned punch in the die 

after having the die reworked during shutdown. 

To correctly align the gas connection with the hole in the side panel two street elbows have 

been factory installed in the gas valve to provide proper alignment. This should not cause any 

installation difficulties and no corrective action in the field is required. This letter is simply to 

inform you of this temporary change before your dealers call and question you.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: HAC Service and Parts Manual Numbering 


To simplify parts and service manual identification, the manual numbering system is being revised. The 

"A" designator on the end of a manual number will no longer be used to indicate a parts manual. The 

second digit of the manual number (RP6110001) will now be used to identify the manual as a parts 

catalog (P), or a service manual (S). 

To reduce the possibility of confusion with the new numbering system, existing manuals using the 

previous RA______ numbering system will maintain the same numbering sequence when updated. In 

other words, if a RA613003A parts manual is to be updated, the new number would become RP6130003. 

If a RA622001 service manual is to be updated the new number would become RS6220001. 

The new manual numbering system will go into effect in March 1995, and will be phased in over the next 

several months. The attached manual number breakdown shows the methodology for selecting a 

manual number.

SUBJECT: SUBJECT: Twinning/Tripling of "JR" Remote Control PTAC's 

Remote Control Package Terminal Units controlled by a 24V (Class II) wall-mounted room thermostat. Usually, a separate 

thermostat is used for each unit. Occasionally, however, the system designer and installer may wish to control two or three 

units by a single thermostat. 

This bulletin includes schematics for controlling two or three "-JR" series remote control PTACs from a single room 

thermostat. Please note that control of multiple units from one thermostat will not be suitable for all installations. It is the 

responsibility of the installer to determine the appropriateness of this control scheme for any particular installation. 

The 230/208V "-JR" series PTACs include 40VA transformers. 230/208V "-IR" series PTACs were covered in a January 

1993 memo. 265V "-JR", 265V "-IR", and versions of Amana remote control PTACs prior to the "-IR" series included 20VA 

transformers. 20VA transformers are not adequate for use with these schematics. A list of the standard "-JR" units is 

attached. 

In addition to the PTAC units, the following electrical components are required: 

--One C5200607 Amana Room Thermostat (1 stage heat, 1 stage cool, manual changeover, round. Honeywell 

T87F2204 thermostat with Q539A1105 subbase.) 

--Three C6409302 relays (Aromat HL2-HTM-AC24V or Midtex 25862Q200) (24V coil, use only the normally open 

contacts) 

The heat anticipator on the room thermostat must be reset to match the actual amp draw of the system. If using a clamp 

on ammeter, see the attached sketch for details. 

The three relays must not be mounted within any of the PTAC units. All wiring, relays, and equipment must be installed 

in accordance with local codes, or in their absence, with the National Electrical Code. This installation is only to be 

performed by a qualified, experienced technician. 

These schematics will show only the C5200607 room thermostat. This thermostat has one stage of heat and one stage 

of cooling. All the units will operate as a team, with the compressors, fans, or electric heaters coming on simultaneously. 

The room occupant will choose high or low speed for the indoor and outdoor fans by adjusting the rocker panel switch 

on the unit. It will be possible to run one unit with high speed fans and the other unit(s) with low speed fans, or vice versa. 

Please note that if power is removed from the Master unit, none of the units will operate. If power is removed from only 

the slave unit(s), the Master unit will be able to operate normally. 

The installer should size the thermostat wires to avoid excessive voltage drops. "Length of run" is defined as the greatest 

of the following distances: 

--Master unit to room thermostat to Master unit to C6409302 relay assembly. 

--Slave unit A to C6409302 relay assembly to slave unit A 

--Slave unit B (if present) to C6409302 relay assembly to slave unit B.

Use this "length of run" and the following table to size the low voltage wires for the entire system: 

Greatest Length of Run Wire Gauge (Copper AWG) 

25 Feet 20 

50 Feet 18 

75 Feet 16 

100 Feet 14 

125 Feet 14 

150 Feet 14 

If the units are to operate on 208V power, the primary taps on all transformers must be changed to the 208V tap. Consult 

the unit's wiring diagram and installation manual for details. 

For all other installation information, consult the unit and accessory installation manuals.

SUBJECT: Blower Wheel Noise on Goodman® Brand 80% and 90% Gas Furnaces 

We have received reports from the field about a noise-vibration sound on select Goodman® brand 

furnaces. The reported sound occurs during high-speed blower operation. Our proactive testing 

revealed that the blower wheel and motor combination have a close harmonic frequency range. 

Depending on various factors combined, a noise-vibration could occur. For those experiencing a 

noise-vibration situation, we are recommending a blower wheel change on the models listed below. 

The existing convex style blower wheel will be replaced with a concave style wheel. 

Model number GMS80903BNA currently uses blower wheel Part # B1368016. The recommended 

blower wheel replacement is Part # B1368058S. 

Model numbers GCS90453BXA, GCS90703BXA, GMS90453BXA and GMS90703BXA that 

experience this condition currently use blower wheel Part # D6723302. The recommended blower 

wheel replacement is Part # B1368058S. 

We are committed to continual quality improvements and are in the process of making this proactive 

change in using this concave style blower wheel in current production models listed above. This 

change is slated to occur in manufacturing May 17, 2005.

SUBJECT: HK* Model Heat Kit Installation Issue on PH* and PC* Model Package Units 

This letter is to inform you of an installation issue with HK model heater kits and certain PHK, PHKJ, 

PCK, and PCKJ model package units. We received some reports from the field of installations issues 

and our investigation revealed that there is a problem with the 2 mounting screws that secure the heat 

kit to the blower housing on units using the 9” x 8” and the 10” x 8” diameter blower wheels. 

This installation issue affects the PCKJ036* thru PCKJ060*, PC042* thru PC060* and the PCK042* 

thru PCK060* model package cooling units. The heat pump models affected are the PH042* thru 

PH060*, PHK036* thru PHK060* and the PHKJ036* thru PHKJ060* (See the chart below). 

AFFECTED UNITS 

COOLERS HEAT PUMPS

PCKJ060-** PHK060-** PHKJ060-** 

In these models, the bottom screw that mounts the heat kit to the blower housing does not line up with 

the hole in the blower housing. 

In the HK10* and larger heat kits, the top hole lines up properly on the units listed in the chart above. 

The problem with the top hole is the electric heat sequencer is partially covering the mounting hole in the 

heat kit (see Figure 1). There are no problems with the 4 screws that go into the transition duct. 

Page 1 of 2

With the PCKJ, PHK, and PHKJ024 thru 30 units, and the PC, PH, and PCK024 thru 36 units, the 

blower housing does not come all the way out to the heat kit. Therefore, this is not a problem in these 

models because there are no screws that go into the blower housing to mount the heat kit. 

To resolve the problem with the top hole, we are adding an additional mounting slot to the heat kit, 

away from the sequencer. For the bottom hole, we have added an additional hole in the blower 

housing to line up with the lower hole in the heat kit. When these changes are complete, the heat kit 

will fit properly with no modifications. 

S-217 

Until the changes are implemented, the solution to the problem is to remove the 2 screws that hold the 

blank plate to the blower housing and discard. Remove the remaining 4 screws holding the blank plate 

to the transition duct (save these screws). Install the heat kit and, using the 4 screws previously 

removed; secure the heat kit to the transition duct. You will need 2 - #10 x ¾” self-tapping screws (field 

supplied), and using the lower mounting hole in the heat kit as a guide, drill one screw into the blower 

housing. 

The top hole will have to be drilled through the heat kit and the blower housing. Moving 1” directly 

above the top of the existing hole in the heat kit (between the sequencer and the breakers), drill the 2 nd 

screw through the heat kit and into the blower housing (see Figure 2).

SUBJECT: OT18-60 and OT18-60A Outdoor Thermostats Set Point Issue 

SERVICE 

BULLETIN 

S-216 

We have received some field reports of the OT18-60 and OT18-60A Kits with Outdoor Thermostats 

being out of calibration. After reviewing the issue, it has been determined that the outdoor 

thermostats are not out of calibration but the hole in the mounting bracket is too small to see the set 

point indicator on the thermostat dial and get the set point properly set to match the setting on the 

label. 

If this issue is experienced with any of the OT18-60 or OT18-60A kits already installed in the field, to 

properly adjust the outdoor thermostat set point we are providing two solutions to the issue. The first 

method is scribing of a reference line on the setscrew and the second method is an enlargement of 

the mounting bracket hole in order to properly set the thermostat to the desired temperature setting. 

WARNING 


electrical power supply before servicing this unit. Some models will have two power sources, 

so be certain to disconnect both power sources. This may include the indoor unit as well as 

the outdoor unit. 

ADJUSTMENT METHOD (NO ENLARGEMENT OF BRACKET HOLE NECESSARY) 

1. Disconnect all electrical power (both indoor and outdoor) to the unit. (Note: It will not be 

necessary to remove the outdoor thermostat or any wires from the outdoor thermostat). 

2. Leave the outdoor thermostat assembly in the unit. 

3. Insert a screwdriver in the slot of the setscrew and rotate the dial counterclockwise to the 45° 

setting. 

4. Scribe a line on the setscrew at the 45° mark using an awl or marker (see Figure 1 on Page 2 

for Set Point Adjustment Screw with Scribed Mark). 

5. Once a line has been scribed on the setscrew, use this mark to set the outdoor thermostat 

set point to desired setting. 

6. Next, reconnect the electrical power supply to the unit and check for proper unit operation.

2. Remove the complete outdoor thermostat assembly from the unit. 

3. Next, remove the outdoor thermostat from the mounting bracket. 

4. After removing the outdoor thermostat from the mounting bracket, it will be necessary to 

enlarge the hole in the mounting ½” in diameter. This will allow the installer to see the set 

point scribed on the dial from the manufacturer (see Figure 2 below) 

5. Reinstall the outdoor thermostat on the mounting bracket and then reinstall the outdoor 

thermostat assembly in the unit.

SUBJECT: Field Problem with HKR03, 05, 06, 08 & 10KW Heat Kits in AEPT and MBE 

Applications 

We have received some reports of AEPT and MBE air handlers running a high CFM in the 

heating mode with only one stage of heat. Even when the PJ4 jumper is cut on the VSTB 

(Variable Speed Tap Board) as instructed, the blower will continue to run a high CFM. In single 

stage heat applications, the blower should lower the CFM when the PJ4 jumper is cut. 

After our investigation of the issue, we have determined the problem to be on the HKR heaters with 

10KW and below, which are single stage heaters. The brown wire, which is required for second 

stage heat on multi-stage heaters, is also installed on the single stage heaters and is connected 

between pin #5 of the heater plug and the sequencer for first stage heat. When first stage heat is 

energized, 24VAC is fed back from the sequencer through the brown wire to the VSTB in the AEPT 

and MBE units causing the blower to run at the higher CFM. This brown wire is not needed on 

single stage heaters and as it is right now, it causes the blower to run at the higher CFM in AEPT 

and MBE units in AC applications only. In Heat Pump applications, the blower will run at the higher 

CFM for heat pump heating and the electric heater becomes the second stage of heating, so the 

problem does not exist. The brown wire has no affect on the AR and MBR units since the use the 

constant speed motors and the 24VAC feedback can't cause a speed change. 

We are currently working to get this issue corrected in manufacturing by removing the brown wire 

from the HKR03, 05, 06, 08 & 10KW heaters. Prior to this change, the solution in the field in AC 

applications with AEPT and MBE units using single stage heaters is to disconnect the brown wire 

(see Figure 1) from the heat sequencer and either cut or use a pin push tool to remove the wire 

from the 9-pin connector plug on the heater, thereby preventing the 24VAC from being back fed to 

the VSTB on a heating demand.

SUBJECT: Clarification for Using LP Gas Conversion Kit (LPM-03) on 2-Stage Furnaces 

LP Gas Conversion Kit LPM-03 and LPM-03A have changed to the LPM-03B. Our original specification sheet 

for GMV8*, GCV9* and GMV9* called for the use of the LPM-03 when converting to LP gas. The new LPM-03B 

Conversion Kit is available for use on the current Goodman® brand GMV8*, GCV9* and GMV9* model gas 

furnaces. We have added the # 55 burner orifices to this kit and updated the Installation and Operating 

Instructions to IO-590C. The LPM-03A references older Goodman® brand furnaces such as GSU, GSM and 

GMNTE series. In order to standardize these kits, the LP kit LPM-03 and LPM-03A have been replaced by the 

LPM-03B. 

The new installation instructions in the IO-590C are different from the previous instructions. The current parts 

breakdown has been updated in the LPM-03B Conversion Kit and listed below.

The 1.25 orifices are used for calculating a BTUh input of 20,000 Btu/hr per burner. The # 55 orifices are used 

for calculating a BTUh input of 22,500 Btu/hr input per burner. On page 2 of the Kit Instructions, item # 8 shows 

the firing rate of each orifice. The dealer should determine the natural gas firing rate per burner. Divide input 

rate listed on rating plate by number of burners. Based on the firing rate per burner, the dealer would select the 

correct LP orifice. 20,000Btu/hr uses 1.25 mm orifice (stamped 125, part number B40899-125) and 22,500

SUBJECT: High Pitched Motor Noise on PCK, PCKJ, PHK, and PHKJ Package Units 

Goodman has received a few reports regarding certain PCK, PCKJ, PHK, and PHKJ model package 

units producing a high-pitched noise. After thorough investigation and testing, the noise was 

determined to be coming from the indoor motor mounting bracket. 

To resolve this problem, beginning the first of March 2005 manufacturing will begin using indoor 

blower motors with mounting brackets that have rubber grommets installed in the mounting holes. 

The motors currently used in production do not have the rubber grommets. 

The chart below indicates the model number of the units affected, the current part numbers affected, 

and the replacement part numbers. The part number remains the same with the exception of the “S” 

added to the end of the service part number.

If you encounter a unit in the field with the indoor motor producing a high-pitched noise, you will 

need to replace the motor with the new motor with the grommets. The motors with the grommets will 

be available after the first of March 2005, and can be ordered from the Service Parts Department. 

If you need a replacement motor prior to the first of March, use the chart below to order the proper 

replacement motor. This is to be used only until the replacement motors are available. 

Note: You will have to change the capacitor also. The Temporary Replacement Motor uses a 

different size capacitor than the original motor.

SUBJECT: ECM Motor Not Ramping Properly on Goodman® Brand 80% & 90% Variable 

Speed Gas Furnaces 

There have been reports that the Goodman® brand 80% (GMV8*) and 90% (GMV9, GCV9*) variable speed 

ECM motors are not ramping up and down. The ECM motor is operating at 100% fan speed on start up 

and immediately shutting down when the thermostat cycles the unit off. 

We found that the ECM motors, with a date code range (0406 through 0410) had a programming error not 

allowing the motor to ramp properly. 

The following are instructions to correct this condition when using the variable speed gas furnace by itself and 

when using the furnace with a heat pump in a dual fuel application. The ECM motor assembly does not 

need to be replaced. 

(1) Gas Furnace Only. 

Install a jumper wire between the “O” and “Y” terminal on the control board. The “Y” terminal now 

receives the “O” terminals programming instructions, which is the same as “Y”. The ramping 

profile is now activated and will ramp up and down properly.

First, the “O” wire from the thermostat and the “O” wire from the heat pump should be connected 

together with a wire nut. DO NOT connect these two “O” wires to the gas furnace circuit board. 

Next, install a jumper wire between the “O” and “Y” terminal on the gas furnace circuit board. The 

“Y” terminal now receives the “O” terminals programming instructions, which is the same as “Y”. 

The ramping profile is now activated and will ramp up and down properly.

SUBJECT: Jakel ID Blowers Seizing on GPG Model Package Gas/Electric Units 

We have received reports of Jakel Induced Draft Blower Part # 20484701 used on GPG10 &12* model 

package gas/electric units, seizing up after only after a short period of run time after the units have been 

installed. 

Our investigation has determined the issue to be due to an insufficient clearance between the rotor and 

bearing strap (see figure 1 below). To immediately address this issue, our supplier has inspected and 

verified that the clearance between the rotor and bearing strap on all current Induced Draft Blowers is 

within design parameters and in doing so we have released a new part # for the Induced Draft Blower, 

Part # 20484702 (see figure 2 below). Along with the new part #, the Induced Draft Blowers can be 

identified by a Blue Marking Along the Side of the Bobbin (see figure 3 below). 

FIGURE 1

Updated Part # 20484702 

FIGURE 3 

Blue Marking Along the Side of the Bobbin 

All inventory of Induced Draft Blowers (Part # 20484701) both production and service have been sorted 

and checked in order to verify the correct spacing between the rotor and bearing strap to prevent this 

issue. 

Page 1 of 4

All GPG10 &12* model units manufactured beginning with serial date code 0412483626 and later, have 

had the Induced Draft Blowers inspected for the correct rotor/bearing strap clearance and should not 

experience this issue. These units can be identified by Blue Dot next to the travel label on the unit. 

All installed GPG10 & 12* model units manufactured in 2004 prior to the serial date code of 0412483626 

should be repaired on a fix on fail basis. 

S-208 

Due to the Induced Draft Blower Part # 20484701 used on GPG10* & 12* model units seizing up because 

of the insufficient clearance between the rotor and bearing strap, we are requiring units in 

Distributor/Dealer inventory to be inspected and if the clearance between the rotor and bearing strap does 

not meet the 0.012” minimum clearance (see figure 4 below) measured with a feeler gauge, then the 

Induced Draft Blower must be replaced. 

Also a final change is being made to the Jakel ID Blower (Part # 20484702), that is used on GPG10 &12* 

model units, by increasing the clearance between the rotor and bearing strap to prevent any future issues. 

With this change we will be releasing a new part # for the Jakel ID Blowers, Part # 20484703. Besides 

having a new part # on the Induced Draft Blower, this part will be marked with a new label (blue label with 

black print). 

Distributors/Dealers should inspect their inventory of service parts of these Induced Draft Blowers (Part # 

20484701) for the proper 0.012” or greater clearance between the rotor and bearing strap. For any 

Induced Draft Blowers that do not meet the minimum 0.012” clearance (see figure 4 below) between the 

rotor and bearing strap measured with a feeler gauge, Distributors/Dealers should contact their parts order 

representative to obtain a Return Authorization (RA) for return of these parts.

Goodman will pay $30.00 per unit for inspection only and $45.00 for inspection and replacement of the 

Induced Draft Blower (Part # 20484701) if it does not meet the 0.012” minimum rotor/bearing strap 

clearance on GPG10* & 12* models located in Distributor/Dealer Inventory. There is an Inspection Check 

Sheet on page 4 of this letter that must be filled out with the model # and serial # along with the measured 

rotor/bearing strap clearance on the Induced Draft Blower for each unit inspected. 


Goodman will pay $100.00 in home service rate to replace a failed Induced Draft Blower (Part # 

20484701) on installed units. A warranty claim form (RF000007) must be completed for each unit 

inspected and repaired. 


A claim form (RF000007) must be completed for each installed unit repaired. Project Code 8620 must be 

referenced in section 6 of the claim form as the special authorization number to ensure proper claim 

processing. All units inspected and repaired that are not installed may be submitted using a single 

warranty claim form. List all model and serial numbers serviced in section 7 (parts), or if necessary use an 

attached sheet. Please ensure all information is clearly legible. Project Code 8620 must be referenced in 

Section 6 of the claim form as the special authorization number. Distributors submitting warranty clams for 

units from their inventory are to attach the labor reimbursement copy (yellow copy 2) of the claim to a PRF 

(Parts Return Form). The distributor will file the claim online. 

Upon receipt of proper documentation by Warranty Administration in Houston, TX, part credit will be issued 

to the distributor and labor credit directly to the servicer. In the event the dealer is not set up as an 

authorized servicer, labor will be issued to the distributor (at the distributors rate) to pass along to the 

dealer. 

All claims for credit under this program must be submitted online before 05/31/2005. All claims must 

reference Service Bulletin S-208 and Project Code 8620.

SUBJECT: HKR Heat Kit Installation on MBE and MBR Module Air Handlers 

SERVICE 

BULLETIN 

S-207 

We have received some field reports concerning a mounting problem with the HKR heat kits with 

circuit breakers when used in the MBE and MBR modular air handlers. The issue reported is that 

the placement of the mounting hole in the control panel does not line up with the circuit breaker 

mounting panel in the heat kit. This hole must be relocated closer to the side of the unit. 

While the factory tooling is being changed, a field modification to the blowers is necessary for 

proper installation of the circuit breaker mounting plate. Follow the instructions shipped with the 

heat kit with regards to breaker orientation. However, use the following instructions to mount the 

panel in the unit: 

1. Instead of using the plastic mounting pin to locate the side of the mounting panel to the side 

of the blower wrapper, use two #10 sheet metal screws to attach this panel to the side of the 

blower wrapper. Run the screws through the clearance holes on the wrapper into the 

engagement holes in the circuit breaker mounting panel (See Figure 1). 

2. After this is secured, position the circuit breaker so it protrudes through the front panel, so it 

can be accessed with the front door access door in place. Then locate the far left hole on 

the base of the mounting plate, and then drill a ¼” (.250) diameter clearance hole in the 

control panel at this location. (Note: It will be best to drill from the bottom up since there will 

be very little clearance in the control panel area for use of a drill). 

3. After creating this clearance hole, use the blunt tip screw provided to pass through the 

clearance hole into the engagement hole in the circuit breaker mounting panel (See Figure 

2).

SUBJECT: AFE18-60A All Fuel Kit 

SERVICE 

BULLETIN 

S-206 

Goodman has introduced a new All Fuel Kit AFE18-60A (see Figure 1) that replaces the previous 

All Fuel Kit AFE18-60 (see Figure 2). This new kit is designed for use in heat pump applications 

where the indoor coil is located above/downstream of a gas or fossil fuel furnace. The new kit will 

operate with all single stage Goodman® heat pumps and single and two stage Goodman® gas 

furnaces. 

The AFE18-60A control will turn the heat pump off when the furnace is turned on. An anti-cycle 

short cycle feature is also incorporated which initiates a three minute timed off delay when the 

compressor shuts off. On initial power up or loss and restoration of power, this delay will be 

initiated. This control includes a five second de-bounce feature on the “Y”, “E, “W1”, and “O” 

thermostat inputs. The signal must be present for five seconds before the AFE18-60A control will 

respond to the input. 

An optional outdoor thermostat, OT18-60A, may be used with the AFE18-60A to switch from heat 

pump operation to furnace operation below a specific ambient temperature setting. 

Provided at the bottom of Page 2 is the new Wiring Schematic for the AFE18-60A All Fuel Board.

SUBJECT: Pressure Switch Nuisance Tripping on Goodman® brand 90% GCV* Counterflow 

Model Furnaces 

We have had a few reports of nuisance pressure switch tripping on Goodman® brand 90% (GCV9070CXA, 

GCV90905DXA*) counterflow model furnaces. 

Our investigation of the issue has determined the problem to be due to length of the pressure switch hose 

from the ID Blower to ID Blower Pressure Switch sagging. In order to address this issue, we reduced the 

pressure switch hose length to prevent sagging of the hose, which could trap moisture in the hose and cause 

nuisance tripping of the pressure switch. 

The 8” pressure switch hose (Part # B1410311) has been reduced down to a shorter 4” pressure switch hose 

(Part # B1410318), effective November 12, 2004. 

The existing hose can be reduced in length (8” to 4”) by the technician if he encounters a nuisance trip of the 

pressure switch due to sagging hose.

We have had reports of vibration with the Jakel Induced Draft Blower Assembly (Part # B1859001S), 

which is used as a service replacement part on 90% single-stage gas furnace models GUN and GUS. 

Our investigation of the vibration problem has determined the issue to be due to a blower wheel 

balance issue that has been corrected by our supplier. 

The date code of affected ID Blower Assemblies ranges from March 2004 to November 2004 (serial 

date code 11/04M through 49/04M), which can be found on the ID Blower Assembly data label. 

These date codes indicated week and year of production, which is different from our product serial 

date code used, production year and month (i.e., 0301 to 0403). If you have any of these Jakel ID 

Blower Assemblies in your service parts inventory that fall within this date code range, these will need 

to be returned due to the issue previously described above. 

The following figure provides a visual of the data label where the date code can be located on the ID 

Blower Assembly.

with the current (GCS9, GCV9, GMS9 and GMV9) Goodman® brand furnaces. 

These kits allow a single penetration to support terminations for both the vent/flue pipe and the combustion 

air intake pipe. The HCVK is designed for horizontal, through the wall terminations, while the VCVK is 

designed for vertical, through the roof terminations. The appropriate kit must be used for a given termination 

placement (horizontal or vertical). See Installation Instructions 20239802 Rev. 2 for more details.

SUBJECT: Revised OT18-60A Outdoor Thermostat 

SERVICE 

BULLETIN 

S-198 

The new OT18-60A outdoor thermostat is a single pole double throw device that is adjustable from 0° to 45° 

Fahrenheit and is designed for applications with split or package cooling and heat pump products. This 

revised outdoor thermostat OT18-60A will replace the previous OT18-60 outdoor thermostat (see figures 

below). The new OT18-60A uses the same thermostat as the previous OT18-60 outdoor thermostat. The 

major difference in the OT18-60A and the OT18-60 is a new mounting bracket. 

In addition to using the OT18-60A to control the electric heat as with the OT18-60, it will also address the 

defrost problem that could occur in low ambient and high humidity conditions. When heat pumps are installed 

in areas with temperatures below 0°F (-18° C) and relative humidities above 50%, a separate OT18-60A 

must be installed and set at 0° F on the dial to turn off the compressor. The OT18-60A will turn the 

compressor off at 0°F and energize W2 with Y from the thermostat to bring on the electric heat. This is 

covered in the installation instructions (IO-510B). You may continue to use the OT18-60 you have in current 

inventory to control the electric heat, but for low ambient applications, you will need the OT18-60A.

SUBJECT: Reintroduction of White Rodgers “G” Valve on Single Stage Gas Products 

Beginning November 1, 2004 all Goodman® brand single stage gas products (furnace and package units) have 

been transitioned from the White-Rodgers "F" series gas valve (Part # B1282614) to the "G" series gas valve. 

The "G" series gas valve (Part # B1282628) incorporates many design enhancements by White-Rodgers. 

The new gas valve takes on a different appearance from the previous "F" series gas valve. The most noticeable 

change being the compact size of the valve along with different methods required for checking supply and 

manifold gas pressures. To check supply or manifold gas pressures, the only requirement is to loosen either the 

inlet or outlet pressure tap screw and attach a hose over the inlet or outlet boss on top of the valve. 

The "F" and "G" series valves are directly interchangeable. We will continue to use the "F" valve for service until 

inventory is depleted.

SERVICE 

BULLETIN 

S-196 

Goodman® brand GMV90704CXA 90% model gas furnaces produced from June 2004 through September 2004 

(serial date code 0406044642 through 0410691285) were manufactured with the incorrect ECM Motor 

Assembly Part # 20257810. The correct ECM Motor Assembly, Part # 20509423, should have been used. 

The 20257810 ECM Motor results in an increased airflow of approximately 300 cfm. The corrective action is 

to replace the ECM Motor End Bell with Service End Bell Part # 20510125, which will provide the 

designed airflow. 


A claim form (RF000007) must be completed for each installed unit inspected and repaired. All units inspected 

and repaired that are not installed may be submitted using a single warranty claim form. List all model and serial 

numbers serviced in section 7 (parts), or if necessary use an attached sheet. Please ensure all information is

SUBJECT: ECM Blower Speed Selection Label for New Variable Speed Gas Furnaces 

Goodman® brand 80% and 90% variable speed gas furnaces (Model # GMV8*, GMV9* and GCV9*) will have a 

new ECM Blower Speed Selection Label (Part # 22312804 for GMV8*) and (Part # 22312803 for 

GMV9*/GCV9*) model furnaces attached to the inside of the blower access door. With the removal of the 

specification sheets that contained the airflow and blower speed selection information, this label was needed to 

provide the proper settings for ECM blower speed selections. This new labels will be added to the variable 

speed furnaces in the near future. 

These new labels provide the dip switch (switches 1-8) settings and speed tap selections (A, B, C, D) for the 

cfm airflow that you desire. This will help service technicians to effectively set up the system for maximum 

comfort and proper airflow for their design conditions. 

We have provided instructions on the label (shown below), on how to make the required settings as follows: 

Select model and desired high stage cooling airflow. Determine the corresponding tap (A, B, C, or D). Set 

dip switches 1 and 2 (Cool Selection Switches) to the appropriate ON/OFF positions. 

Select model and desired low stage heating airflow. Determine the corresponding tap (A, B, C, or D). Set 

dip switches 7 and 8 (Heat Selection Switches) to the appropriate ON/OFF positions. 

Select the airflow adjustment factor: Tap A is 1; Tap B is +10%; Tap C -10%. Set dip switches 3 and 4 

(Adjust Selection Switches) to the appropriate ON/OFF positions.

SUBJECT: DCVK Concentric Vent Kit Instructions 

SERVICE 

BULLETIN 

S-193 

The installation operating instructions (IO-619B) for the Concentric Vent Kit DCVK-20 and DCVK-30 

have been updated. The correction shown below is an excerpt from the new Installation and Operating 

Instructions. 

Description 

This kit is designed to allow the terminations of a direct vent furnace to be “concentrically” vented 

through a wall or roof. This kit allows a single penetration to support terminations for both the 

vent/flue pipe and the combustion air intake pipe. 

Use this kit and these instructions for installation of the concentric vent termination kit 40” tall 

Goodman ® brand and Amana ® brand condensing furnace models: 

We no longer state a specific model number for a particular brand as we did in the previous IO-619 or the 

IO-619A instructions. It is possible that you have OLD instructions in the existing DCVK kits that were made 

prior to the new instructions. In the future, new instructions will be added to the DCVK kits. 

Local inspectors could question the old instructions that refer to old product model numbers listed when 

installing the new gray 90% furnaces, currently being produced. Presenting the new IO-619B instructions 

should be sufficient for local inspectors. Distributors should assist dealers in acquiring the new instructions 

when requested. 

We made another change to the new IO-619B on page 3, seperating the single stage and two stage furnaces 

maximum allowable length in the vent charts (see below).

SUBJECT: Wilspec Suction Service Valves 

SERVICE 

BULLETIN 

S-192 

We are using a new service suction valve made by Wilspec on all Goodman® brand remote condensing units. This 

change took place approximately October 25, 2004. We will use these new suction valves in the following 

combination sizes of 3/4” and 7/8” in the initial production run. (See picture below). 

We noticed that the initial production run of Wilspec suction valves will not allow the use of a Ritchie® Service 

Wrench and Hex Adapter (Yellow Jacket) # 60609 (below) and the Malco® Service Wrench Adapter. The inside 

depth is not deep enough for the adapter to physically open the valve. A regular hex wrench set will open the 

valve. The use of this initial production run suction valve will continue until January or February 2005. We will then 

increase the depth in future production run of service valves. 

The following page shows that the Wilspec suction service valve will not allow the Yellow Jacket hex adapter to go 

all the way down in the service valve.

SUBJECT: 80% GMT and GDT Pressure Ports Plugging 

There have been isolated cases of the induced draft blower pressure ports plugging up with 

“white powder” residue on 80% GMT and GDT model furnaces (045-3 and 075-3). The plugged 

pressure port has been determined to be caused by high sulfur content in the natural gas being 

supplied to the furnaces. There have been very few cases reported and then only in isolated 

areas of the country. 

To reduce the potential for this condition we have changed the wheel material of the induced 

draft blower from a galvanized material to an aluminized material. The New Induced Draft 

Blower Assembly (Part # B4059003S) will replace the existing Induced Draft Blower (Part # 

B4059001 & 01S) as the new service replacement part on 80% single-stage gas furnace models 

GMT and GDT. 

Other causes for a plugged pressure port can be sheetrock dust, insulation or other 

contaminates drawn into the heat exchanger during or after construction. Also furnaces installed 

in unconditioned spaces with low temperature rises and or short run times can develop 

condensate in the combustion blower which can lead to corrosion and plugged pressure ports. In 

these cases steps should be taken to increase the temperature rise by lowering the blower 

speed and increasing the furnace run time by adjusting the heat anticipator on the room 

thermostat.

SUBJECT: Compressor Cross-Reference List 

We are pleased to announce a new compressor cross-reference list. This list shows the 

original factory installed compressors and the replacement. Compressors may substitute within 

the same brand, cross over to another brand or both. However, due to piping differences, 

electrical changes and possible footprint differences, it is recommended that like brand for like 

brand be the first option. Using like brand for like brand is less expensive and leaves fewer 

opportunities for installation problems. 

(Example: Equipment with original Bristol compressors may have a Bristol and Copeland replacement 

available. Altering the tubing and electrical connection on Copeland compressors may be required.) 

The list provided gives detailed information on the compressors vendor part number, 

crankcase heater usage, compressor capacity, capacitor size, EER, Voltage and substitutions. 

Copeland compressor model numbers will be used as our new part number. You can place 

your order with the compressor model number listed. 

There will be some compressors that are unavailable and have no current match to any other 

compressor. This means we have not found an approved replacement for those older 

compressors. In some cases, there is not a compressor that fits the base pan mounting holes 

or the newer compressors may be too tall to fit in the unit. 

You will be able to go to our website, http://www.goodmanmfg.com and access the 

compressor cross-reference material, once it has been updated. In the upper right corner, 

choose the drop down box: 

I would like information about , click on the down arrow and choose distributor or dealer 

toolbox (whichever applies to you). Enter your username and password or go to Account 

Registration to get started. 

After entering your username and password, you will be taken to the Goodman Tool Kit 

menu. Under the Product Tools to the left, select Compressor Xref . You will have the option 

of searching by equipment model number or the compressor part number. This reference 

lookup will be updated periodically as changes occur. Current Goodman air conditioning 

models, in production, are using Copeland compressors. 

This Service Bulletin S-184, containing the compressor cross-reference, will be added to future 

Info-Finder revisions in the Goodman Service Letters section.

SUBJECT: Goodman CPLJ36-1A Condenser Reversing Valve 

Goodman Company, L.P. has identified specific CPLJ36-1A heat pumps with the reversing valve 

improperly installed. The problem reported is that the suction port of the reversing valve has been 

connected to the vapor service valve, and the vapor service valve port on the reversing valve has been 

connected to the suction accumulator. On a three way reversing valve the large center port is designated 

as the compressor suction port, which is connected to the accumulator (refer to figure below). 

The serial number range of the suspected units is 

0402792327 through 0402792710 (February serial 

date code 0402). Our records indicate that units 

within this specified serial numbers were shipped to 

your location (see attached model and serial 

numbers). 

Please inspect the listed units to verify the 

reversing valve is properly installed. Goodman will 

provide labor assistance to inspect each heat pump 

on the attached list. 

If a heat pump has a reversing valve improperly 

installed as described in this Service Bulletin, 

immediately isolate the heat pump, and DO NOT 

SELL THE UNIT. Please make necessary 

arrangement to have the unit repaired locally.

SUBJECT: Revised Company Warranty Claim Form Process For Distributors 

SERVICE 

BULLETIN 

S-181 

As part of Goodman’s commitment to improve the warranty claim process, we have consolidated the warranty 

claim forms for the Goodman and Amana brands. The new warranty claim form has been re-structured to 

incorporated features of both current claim forms into one universal form to be used by all of customers 

regardless of the brand of equipment repaired. 

The new claim form contains many changes. Some implemented by Goodman to allow us to better serve our 

customers. Several of the changes are the result of comments from dealers or distributors through the years. 


warranty reporting. In addition to conforming with our “One Company, Two Brands” theme, the new claim form 

will provide additional information that will allow Goodman warranty departments to address field issues and 

process claims faster and more efficiently with less rejected claim. This will result in more timely payment to our 

customers. 

The new form includes several changes. One added field requires the outdoor unit information on claims for 

indoor coils and blowers. This information is essential since many of the warranties for these serialized units are 

dependant on the matching outdoor unit. This will reduce the number of rejected claims requesting this 

information. Failure/ component cause coding has been added. This will enable Goodman to respond faster and 

provide more accurate information to the field on service issues. 


provide the information necessary to process the warranty claim and prevent claim rejection or delay in 


1. Warranty type check boxes -- At the top of the claim form, there are four boxes that identify the type of 

warranty claim being filed. It is mandatory that one of these boxes be checked so the claim can be 

processed correctly. If requesting part warranty and labor (extended warranty, full factory warranty, or

The process for filing warranty claims has not changed. At the present time, only Goodman warranty claims may 

be filed electronically. Amana claims must be submitted manually. We expect to have this capability in place 

February 2004. For customer’s currently filing claims electronically, the process remains the same. Only 

warranty claims and supporting documentation currently required will be required with the new claim form 

implementation. 

Distributor and dealer responsibilities remain the same as outlined in previous Goodman and Amana Distributor 

manuals. Dealers are responsible for completing the in-warranty or extended service contract service call. Once 

the service is complete, the warranty claim form is to be completed (form RF000007 Rev. 1.) in its entirely. Copy 

5 (last copy) of the warranty claim form is to be attached to the defective part. Defective parts with copy 5 

attached are to be returned to the distributor from whom the replacement parts were purchased. When the parts 

are covered by the factory warranty, copy 1 of the warranty claim is also returned to the distributor for processing. 

When the unit repaired has an extended service contract or is covered by a full factory warranty, the labor copy of 

the claim form (copy 2) is to be forwarded directly to the appropriate warranty department for payment to be 

issued to the dealer. If the part replaced is out of factory warranty but covered by an extended service contract, 

the part reimbursement copy (copy 1) along with the labor copy (copy 2) of the warranty claim form is to be 

forwarded directly to the appropriate warranty department to be paid to the dealer per the extended service 

contract. 

Distributors are responsible for processing warranty claims for dealers they sell Goodman parts. Upon receipt of 

the defective parts and proper paperwork from the dealer, the distributor is to determine which parts are to be 

scrapped or returned to the appropriate Goodman facility or manufacturer per the “Disposition of In-Warranty 

Parts” policy letters. The Parts Return Form (RF000008), referred to as the PRF or Debit Memo is to be 

completed. The types of parts on the claims listed on the PRF or Debit Memo are to be identified. Scrapped and 

returned parts must be submitted on separate PRF/Debit Memo forms. If not, the entire PRF/Debit Memo will be 

held in the pending file until the parts receipt confirmation is received from the warranty returns area for the parts 

being returned. Scrapped parts are to be held by the distributor for 45 days or until part credit is received from 

Goodman. In the event there are “scrap” and “return” parts on the same claim form, attach the warranty claim to 

a “return” PRF/Debit Memo. Attach the parts reimbursement copy (copy 1) of the warranty claim form to the 

white (Amana) copy of the PRF or a copy of the Debit Memo and send to the appropriate Warranty Department 

for processing. The white half (last) copy of the warranty claim form attached to the defective part, and the yellow 

(packing list) copy of the PRF or copy of the Debit Memo are to be packaged and shipped to the appropriate 

address. If shipment-tracking information is available at the time the PRF or Debit Memo with the attached 

claims is mailed to the warranty department, include this information at the bottom of the PRF or Debit Memo 

(include shipping company and tracking number). If verification of the returned parts is not received in Warranty 

Administration within a reasonable period of time, we can trace the shipment on-line. We can verify receipt of the 

shipment and process the paperwork without unnecessary delays or additional calls to you. 

Page 3 of 4 

S-181

DO NOT include the PRF or Debit Memo with the attached part reimbursement copies (copy 1) of the 

warranty claim form with the returned parts. If the returned parts shipment is lost in transit or delayed in the 

returns area, this will cause additional delays in getting credit issued to your account. 

NOTE: The distributor is responsible for freight charges. 


Customer purchasing parts directly from Goodman will continue to order the new warranty claim form through 

the Parts Department. The part number for the new form is RF000007 Rev. 1. 

Goodman will continue to process warranty claims received on the current form until the inventory has been 

depleted or December 31 st , 2003. As of January 1 st , 2004, only the corporate claim form will be accepted. 

Please call the appropriate Warranty Administration Department with any question regarding the new form.

SUBJECT: AER/AEPT Low Voltage Wiring 

SERVICE 

BULLETIN 

S-178 

Recently we have received reports of AER/AEPT low voltage wires being connected improperly during unit 

installation. This is primarily occurring when the AER/AEPT is being matched with the CPLT heat pump. 

In some cases the yellow “Y1” wire in the AER/AEPT is being connected to the “Y” terminal of the indoor 

thermostat. 

Connecting the “Y1” terminal to “Y” terminal at thermostat will cause the AER/AEPT blower motor to operate 

at a lower CFM, and will supply a half wave voltage signal (approximately 18 volts) to outdoor condenser unit. 

The inadequate airflow will cause the indoor coil to freeze up, and possibly send liquid refrigerant back to the 

compressor resulting in compressor failure. The low voltage (approximately 18 volts) will possibly cause a 

contactor “chatter.” 

The correct wiring procedure is for the pink “Y/Y2” wire to be connected to the “Y” terminal of the indoor 

thermostat. By correctly wiring the AER/AEPT, the unit will deliver the correct airflow for proper system 

operation, and a full 24-volt waveform will be delivered to the outdoor condenser unit contactor. The “Y1” is 

available to be used when matching the AER/AEPT with two speed compressor applications. 

A caution tag is being created and will be attached to the pink wire on AER/AEPT units in production. The tag 

verbiage will state. 

“For single stage cooling and heat pump applications, connect the pink wire to the “Y” terminal on 

the indoor thermostat. Tape off end of wires not used”

SUBJECT: Long Line Set Application 

This long line set application guideline applies to all ARI listed Goodman air conditioner and heat pump split 

system matches of nominal capacity 18,000 to 60,000 Btuh. This guideline will cover installation 

requirements and additional accessories needed for split system installations where the line set exceeds 50 ft 

in actual length. 

This guideline does not apply to any system match for which the outdoor unit has a 2-speed 

compressor. 


1. Crankcase heater- a long line set application can critically increase the charge level needed for a 

system. As a result, the system is very prone to refrigerant migration during its off-cycle and a 

crankcase heater will help minimize this risk. A crankcase heater is recommended for any long line 

application (50 watt minimum). 

2. Hard start assist- increased charge level in long line applications can require extra work from the 


Tubing sizing: 

SERVICE 

BULLETIN 

S-177 

1. In long line applications, the “equivalent line length” is the sum of the straight length portions of the 

suction line plus losses (in equivalent length) from 45 and 90 degree bends. Select the proper 

suction tube size based on equivalent length of the suction line (see Tables 1 & 2 below) and 

recalculated system capacity. 

Equivalent length = Length horizontal + Length vertical + Losses from bends (see Table 2)

Page 2 of 4 

Service Bulletin S-177 

2. For any residential split system installed with a long line set, the liquid line size must never 

exceed 3/8”. Limiting the liquid line size to 3/8” is critical since an increased refrigerant charge level 

from having a larger liquid line could possibly shorten a compressor’s lifespan. 

• 50 feet is the maximum recommended vertical difference between the condenser and evaporator 

when the evaporator is above the condenser. Equivalent length is not to exceed 150 feet. 

• The vertical difference between the condenser and evaporator when the evaporator is below the 

condenser can approach 150 feet, as long as the equivalent length does not exceed 150 feet. 

• The distance between the condenser and evaporator in a completely horizontal installation in which 

the indoor and outdoor unit do not differ more than 10 ft in vertical distance from each other can 

approach 150 feet, as long as the equivalent length does not exceed 150 feet. 

Most refrigerant tubing kits are supplied with 3/8”-thick insulation on the vapor line. For long line installations 

over 50 ft, especially if the line set passes through a high ambient temperature, ½”-thick suction line insulation 

is recommended to reduce loss of capacity. The liquid line should be insulated if passing through an area of 

120°F or greater. Do not attach the liquid line to any non-insulated portion of the suction line. 

3. Vibration and noise: In long line applications, refrigerant tubing is highly prone to transmit noise and 

vibration to the structure it is fastened to. Use adequate vibration-isolating hardware when mounting 

line set to adjacent structure. 

Table 1 below lists multiplier values to recalculate system-cooling capacity as a function of a system’s 

equivalent line length (as calculated from the suction line) and the selected suction tube size. Table 2 lists the 

equivalent length gained from adding bends to the suction line. Properly size the suction line to minimize 

capacity loss.

1. In a completely horizontal installation with a long line set where the evaporator is at the same altitude 

as (or slightly below) the condenser, the line set should be sloped towards the evaporator. This helps 

reduce refrigerant migration to the condenser during a system’s off-cycle. 

2. For a system installation where the evaporator is above the condenser, an inverted vapor line trap 

should be installed on the suction line just before the inlet to the evaporator (see Fig 1). The top of the 

inverted loop must be slightly above the top of the evaporator coil and can be created simply by 

brazing two 90° long radius elbows together, if a bending tool is unavailable. Properly support and 

secure the inverted loop to the nearest point on the indoor unit or adjacent structure. 


3. Oil traps (required only if the condenser is above the evaporator): Depending on the vertical rise 

of the line set, oil traps are required in the suction line. Oil traps should be installed at equal intervals 

along the suction line. Install 1 oil trap for a height difference of 15–25 feet between indoor and 

outdoor units. Install 2 oil traps for a difference of 26-50 ft, 3 for 51-100 ft, and 4 for 101-150 ft. 

Preformed oil traps are available at most HVAC supply houses, or oil traps may be created by brazing 

tubing elbows together (see diagram below). Remember to add the equivalent length from oil traps to 

the equivalent length calculation of the suction line. For example, if you construct an oil trap using two 

45° elbows, one short and one long 90° elbow in a ¾” diameter suction line, the additional equivalent 

length would be 0.7+0.7+1.7+1.5, which equals 4.6 feet (refer to table 2).

Page 4 of 4 


4. Piston size adjustment: Refer to the chart below to adjust the piston size for the indoor and outdoor 

units, based on the height difference between the two. Take the original piston size installed in the 

indoor and outdoor unit and add or subtract using the information from Chart 3 to determine the new 

piston size.

No outdoor piston change required, if 

outdoor unit is below indoor (0-50 ft). 

5. Low voltage wiring: Verify low voltage wiring size is adequate for the length used since it will be 

increased in a long line application. 

System charging 

Goodman/Amana condensers are factory charged for 15 ft of line set. To calculate the amount of extra 

refrigerant (in ounces) needed for a line set over 15 feet, multiply the additional length of line set by 0.6 

ounces. Note for the formula below, the linear feet of line set is the actual length of liquid line (or suction line, 

since both should be equal) used, not the equivalent length calculated for the suction line. 



Remember, for condensers with a liquid valve connection less than 3/8” diameter, 3/8” liquid tubing is 

required for a line set longer than 25 feet. 

Follow the charging procedures in the outdoor unit I/O manual to ensure proper superheat and sub-cooling 

levels, especially on a system with a TXV installed in the indoor unit. Heat pumps should be checked in both 

heating and cooling mode for proper charge level. This guideline is meant to provide installation instructions 

based on most common long line set applications. It may be necessary to readjust piston sizes after initial 

system operation if proper superheat and sub-cooling levels are not achieved (low or no superheat will cause 

early compressor failure). Keep in mind that installation variables may affect system operation.

SUBJECT: Flood-Damaged Appliances 

Due to the unfortunate flooding experienced by many areas of the nation in recent months, GAMA (Gas 

Appliance Manufacturers Association, Inc.) issued a newsletter addressing the use of appliances after 

flood damage. The following is an excerpt from that GAMA publication and is succeeded by a copy of a 

press release sent out by the CPSC (Consumer Protection Safety Commission) regarding safety tips for 

flood victims. Note that the CPSC flood release advises victims to have their appliances inspected and 

cleaned after flooding, as well as a warning that consumers should replace all gas control valves, circuit 

breakers, and fuses that have been submerged. 

This information is vital to the safe operation of appliances that have been damaged by water. Therefore, 

please read the following carefully and share it with your dealers. 

QUOTE 

Flood-Damaged Appliances Should Be Replaced, Experts Warn. 

Arlington, VA, September 17, 2003 — With Hurricane Isabel bearing down on the east coast of the U.S. 

and bringing with it the possibility of severe flooding, it is important to remember that all flood-damaged 

plumbing, heating, cooling and electrical appliances and related systems should be replaced, rather than 

repaired. This warning was issued today by GAMA, the national trade association representing 

manufacturers of appliances, components and related products used in space heating and water heating, 

commercial food service and power generation. The organization also recommends, that all work on 

flooded equipment be performed by a qualified licensed contractor, not by homeowners. 

The GAMA warning stems from past reports of accidents resulting from improper do-it-yourself repairs of 

flood-damaged appliances. One homeowner, for example, suffered severe burns in a flash fire that 

occurred when he tried to re-light the pilot on his flooded gas water heater. The Association stresses that 

not only gas equipment is at risk, but also units using oil or electricity as the energy source. 

"Controls damaged by flood water are extremely dangerous, "notes GAMA President Evan R. Gaddis. 

"Attempts to use equipment with defective gas or oil control devices can result in fires, flashbacks or 

explosions. And in the case of electric appliances, the result can be injury or even death from a powerful 

electric shock. "The GAMA official noted that devices at risk include water heaters, furnaces, boilers, room 

heaters and air conditioners. 

The Association stresses that the repair of flooded appliances and related systems (including damaged 

venting and electrical connections) is not a job for the do-it- yourselfer, no matter how skilled. This is 

particularly true of control valves, according to GAMA officials. These components are manufactured to 

extremely close tolerances. Once submerged in floodwater, they must be replaced. Field repairs should 

never be attempted by the homeowner.

BULLETIN

Even when controls appear to be operative, the unit should not be used after floodwaters recede. "It may 

work for a while, "Gaddis explains, "but it will deteriorate over time. It might take a week, a month, or even 

a year, but once any control has been under water, it presents a serious hazard...fire or explosion in the 

case of gas controls, fire or shock in the case of electric equipment." 

Because so many things can go wrong as a result of floodwater, it's usually cheaper, and always safer to 

replace, rather than repair, Gaddis stresses. "You can have a control valve replaced, but there may be 

damage to other parts of the unit, like venting, piping, burners and insulation. There are just so many 

things that can go wrong, the wise choice is always to start over with new equipment, "the GAMA official 

declared. 

In some instances, government aid may be available to help consumers finance the replacement of flooddamaged 

heating equipment. For information, homeowners should contact any of the offices of the 

Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), set up to help flood victims.

S-176 

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends several safety tips to the victims of 

floods. This safety alert illustrates some dangerous practices which consumers may be tempted to engage 

in during efforts to rebuild or while staying in temporary housing, tents, or partially damaged homes. This 

information is provided in an effort to prevent injuries and deaths from consumer products as flood 

survivors make new beginnings. "We hope this information helps prevent product-related injuries and 

deaths during these difficult times." 

- Chairman Ann Brown 

For more disaster-related information or help with emergency preparedness, visit the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA). 

Do not use electrical appliances that have been wet. Water can damage the motors in electrical 

appliances, such as furnaces, freezers, refrigerators, washing machines, and dryers. 

If electrical appliances have been under water, have them dried out and reconditioned by a qualified 

service repairman. Do not turn on damaged electrical appliances because the electrical parts can become 

grounded and pose an electric shock hazard or overheat and cause a fire. Before flipping a switch or 

plugging in an appliance, have an electrician check the house wiring and appliance to make sure it is safe 

to use.

To prevent a gas explosion and fire, have gas appliances (natural gas and LP gas) inspected and 

cleaned after flooding. 

Page 4 of 5 

S-176 

If gas appliances have been under water, have them inspected and cleaned and their gas controls 

replaced. The gas company or a qualified appliance repair person or plumber should do this work. Water 

can damage gas controls so that safety features are blocked, even if the gas controls appear to operate 

properly. If you suspect a gas leak, don't light a match, use any electrical appliance, turn lights on or off, or 

use the phone. These may produce sparks. Sniff for gas leaks, starting at the water heater. If you smell 

gas or hear gas escaping, turn off the main valve, open windows, leave the area immediately, and call the 

gas company or a qualified appliance repair person or plumber for repairs. Never store flammable 

materials near any gas appliance or equipment. 

Gasoline is made to explode! 

Check to make sure your smoke detector is functioning. 

Never use gasoline around ignition sources such as cigarettes, 

matches, lighters, water heaters, or electric sparks. Gasoline vapors 

can travel and be ignited by pilot light or other ignition sources. Make 

sure that gasoline powered generators are away from easily 

combustible materials. 

Smoke detectors can save your life in a fire. Check the battery 

frequently to make 

sure it is operating. Fire extinguishers also are a good idea.

WARNING 

Submerged gas control valves, circuit breakers, and 

fuses pose explosion and fire hazard! 

Replace all gas control valves, circuit breakers, and fuses that 

have been under water: 

GAS CONTROL VALVES on furnaces, water heaters, and 

other gas appliances that have been under water are unfit for 

continued use. If they are used, they could cause a fire or an 

explosion. Silt and corrosion from flood water can damage 

internal components of control valves and prevent proper 

operation. Gas can leak and result in an explosion or fire. 

Replace ALL gas control valves that have been under water. 

ELECTRIC CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND FUSES can 

malfunction when water and silt get inside. Discard ALL circuit 

breakers and fuses that have been submerged.

SUBJECT: Package Unit Replacement Condenser and Evaporator Coils 

With our continuing improvements to the Goodman Products, we are consolidating our line 

of replacement condenser and evaporator coils for the Goodman package gas, package 

cooling, and package h/p assemblies. This coil consolidation program should greatly 

reduce the distributors/dealers inventory. 

Our goal is to deliver a leak-free coil to you, the customer. In order to fulfill this goal we 

have implemented the following practices before packaging each coil. 

. 

• Coils are pressurized and checked for leaks. 

• Coils will be shipped with approximately 120 psig of tracer gas. 

• Each coil will be packaged and shipped individually in a wooden crate. 

• Each coil will be shipped with a filter drier attached with cable ties. 

• A piston kit will be provided for evaporator and heat pump applications. 

• A warning label will notify installer; “unit has trace gas pressure and no orifice is 

installed”. 

In the past, in order to change out a coil, the manifold(s) had to be unbrazed from the old 

coil(s) then brazed onto the new replacement coil(s). This process will no longer be 

necessary; each coil is now being assembled with factory-installed manifolds and flowrators 

“if equipped.” While there may need to be a slight adjustment made to the compressor 

discharge tube, and/or the liquid line tube, we are confident the addition of the manifolds 

and distributor assemblies will greatly reduce the possibility of leaks occurring. 

A matrix with the new service coil assembly part numbers, for the condenser and 

evaporator coils for package gas, package cooling, and package h/p models are included 

with this service bulletin. This matrix should be used to order all package service coils until 

new repair parts manuals can be issued. When ordering service coils, model number with 

all revisions should be included. (Ex. PGB048125-1A)

SUBJECT: Presence of Oil in Condenser Base Pan 

SERVICE 

BULLETIN 

S-174 

Goodman’s service department has recently received several calls regarding oil in the base 

pan of our remote condensing units. Please note that this oil is not compressor oil, as 

some have assumed, which would tend to indicate a leak somewhere in the refrigeration 

system. 

Instead, this oil is residue resulting from the manufacturing processes used to produce our 

aluminum fin coils. This oil in no way affects the performance of the air conditioning 

system. Its only impact is positive, in that its use reduces the number of Volatile Organic 

Compounds (VOCs) released into the atmosphere. 

The oil you see in the base pan is “cutting oil,” which helps keep the aluminum fins from 

sticking to the metal die on the fin press during manufacturing process. Options for cutting 

oils range from no-VOC oils to high-VOC oils, which leave little residue behind because 

they evaporate and release 80% or more of the total lubricant used into the atmosphere. 

The majority of HVAC manufacturers use evaporative (high-VOC) oils during this process. 

However, because Goodman’s manufacturing facilities are inside the Houston metropolitan 

area, our Houston plant is faced with much tighter VOC emission restrictions than many 

other plants. While we could use a somewhat-evaporative lubricant with a moderate level 

of VOC emissions and still stay within our VOC emission limit, we have chosen to use 

lubricants with no VOC emissions in order to do our part in reducing the number of VOCs 

released into our environment. 

Again, the oil found in the bottom of Goodman® condensers in no way affects the 

performance of the air conditioning system. It is merely a by-product of our using 

environmentally friendly lubricants in our manufacturing process.

SUBJECT: Formicary Corrosion in Evaporator Coils 

You may be familiar with the term “formicary corrosion” a.k.a. “ants’ nest corrosion”, which is a type of 

corrosion known to attack the copper tubing in evaporator coils. In the last 15+ years, many materials 

scientists have studied this phenomenon in Europe, Japan, and the United States. Although formicary 

corrosion is laboratory reproducible, many mysteries about it, including question about its random nature, still 

exist. 

Unlike typical copper corrosion that generates radially from a central starting point, formicary corrosion starts 

on the outside of a tube and “burrows” inward, by generating a succession of connected micro pits. Outwardly 

formicary corrosion can be very difficult to detect, partially due to the minute size of the average breach, but 

typically it appear as a dark spot on the copper surface. 

Scientists know that three ingredients are required to promote this activity: 

• Water 

• Oxygen 

• A corroding agent (decomposed organic acids) 

Although the lack of any of the above agents will prevent the formation of this corrosion, the presence of 

these agents does not guarantee that corrosion will occur. Hence the random and infrequent cases that 

puzzle researchers. Typically, formicary corrosion is not present in the raw tube form used in our production 

process, and it is detected after approximately two years of unit operation. The replacement of the evaporator 

coil is the approved (recommended) action when this corrosion is suspected. 

In concert with our “War On Leaks” mandate, we are eagerly pursuing a solution that insures our coils are 

immune to this problem. We are working with our materials suppliers, corrosion scientists, and the leading 

laboratories toward this goal. Included in this analysis is the examination of lubricating oils used in the 

aluminum fin production process to confirm the absence of organic acids. 

Many articles on this subject are readily available via the Internet. Some of them are highly technical and 

intended for material scientist. Listed below are a few we have discovered that present a less technical but 

still in-depth review of formicary corrosion.

SUBJECT: Nuisance Primary Limit Trips on GMT & GMTH Revision “A” Model 

Furnaces 

Goodman has received field complaints regarding nuisance tripping of the primary limit 

on GMT and GMTH Revision “A” model furnaces. Not every Rev. “A” furnace exhibits 

this condition which seems to be a function of the duct static and its effect on airflow 

across the heat exchanger. 

Our investigation into this matter confirmed inconsistent airflow patterns within the heat 

exchanger under varying duct pressures. At certain conditions, the airflow shifted 

enough to bypass the primary limit causing it to trip prematurely. To correct this 

situation, a filler plate is installed in the blower deck behind the indoor blower assembly. 

This repositions the blower assembly directly beneath the heat exchanger and closer to 

the primary limit. The new position ensures even air distribution over the heat exchanger 

and primary limit at all airflows within the recommended temperature rise for the furnace. 

It will be necessary to replace the primary limit with one furnished in the kit. 

Filler Plate Kits have been released 

and are available from the Service 

Parts Department for installation on 

GMT Rev. “A” and GMTH Rev. “A” 

furnaces that have been determined to 

be experiencing nuisance primary limit 

trips. The kits are selected based on 

the furnace cabinet width and are listed

SUBJECT: Goodman CKL090/120 Condenser Filter Drier 

Goodman Company LP has identified a few CKL090-3, CKL090-4, CKL120-3, and CKL120-4 condensing 

units that had the filter drier improperly installed. The filter driers were installed backwards. The current 

Goodman Company LP inventory has been inspected, and a 1" diameter blank white label has been 

affixed adjacent to the "Made In The U.S.A." markings on opposing sides of each shipping carton (two 

labels per carton). All product found to have the 

filter drier installed incorrectly have been 

reworked. Additionally, we are requesting that 

all distributors inspect their current inventory of 

these model units as listed above, and any 

suspect units that have been installed in the 

field. The serial date code of the units in 

question ranges from May 2002 through April 

2003 (0205 to 0304). 

As illustrated in the picture to the right, if the 

arrow on the filter drier is pointing upward it is 

installed incorrectly; A properly installed filter 

drier will have the arrow pointing down, 

towards the base pan of the unit. 

Goodman Company LP is changing the fittings 

on the filter drier to prevent this from occurring 

in the future. One end will be equipped with a 

female end and the opposite end will be 

equipped with a male end fitting.

SUBJECT: GMTH070-4* Indoor Blower Noise Issues 

Goodman has received reports regarding indoor blower noise issues on GMTH070-4* 

model furnaces. Note: Applies to GMTH070-4 models with no revision and Rev. A only. 

Our investigation has determined the root cause of the noise is due to the torsional 

resonance of the motor/mount being very close to 120Hz frequency. The unit comes 

“alive” at high levels of 120Hz frequencies resulting in “high energy” vibrations, which are 

causing these noise issues. This is easily corrected by changing to longer motor 

mounting arms. The new motor mounting arms drop the 120Hz frequency and its 

harmonics by 15dB. It also reduces startup noise significantly by increasing the shaftflexing 

modes, which optimizes the wheel life. 

If you encounter this condition it will be necessary to change to the longer motor 

mounting arms to eliminate this type of noise issue. Three each of the following parts are 

needed for changing to the longer motor mounting arms; B1376863 Motor Mounting 

Arm (3), B1393322 Mounting Screw (3) and B1392918 Flat Washer (3). These parts 

are currently available and can be ordered from Goodman Service Parts department. 

Refer to the graphical illustrations on page 2 of this bulletin for the installation of the new 

motor mounting arms and the proper positioning of the blower wheel. 

Note: The positioning of the blower wheel on the shaft is critical (See Blower Wheel 

Positioning figure on Page 2 for settings). Equally important are the torque requirements 

of the blower wheel setscrew (165 In-Lbs ±5, 160 In-lbs minimum), along with the motor 

mounting arms to scroll side (30-45 In-Lbs) and motor band (40-55 In-Lbs.).

SUBJECT: Sea Level and High Altitude Furnace Applications 

SERVICE 

BULLETIN 

S-168 

We have received questions in regards to the method of calculating the firing rate of 

furnaces at sea level and high altitude applications. A good analogy of this problem 

would be; suppose you were expected to do some physical work – running a mile, 

perhaps at sea level, and secondly at some high altitude location. If everything else 

(temperature, humidity, track conditions) were equal, you would find that running at high 

altitudes is more difficult than running at sea level. This is because the air is “thinner” – 

each cubic foot of air contains fewer molecules of oxygen. To adapt, you have two 

choices: 1) breathe faster (i.e., increase the CFM flow rate to maintain a constant mass 

flow rate), or 2) run slower (i.e., decrease the amount of fuel consumed per unit of time). 

High altitudes affect a furnace similarly. Since the Air/Fuel mixture does not remain 

constant at altitude the furnace may be overfired. Overfiring can result in premature 

failure of the heat exchanger. In addition, the air-fuel mixture will be too “rich” and 

combustion may be inefficient or inconsistent. The National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI 

Z223.1) generally recommends a 4% reduction of heat input for every 1,000 feet above 

sea level, beginning at 2,000 feet. 

The most common method to accomplish this is to use smaller orifices. (Some gas 

utilities will also reduce the heat value per cubic foot of their gas.). Adjustment of 

manifold pressure is only for purposes of “fine tuning”, and cannot be used to make large 

changes in input if proper combustion is to be maintained. The manifold pressure must 

remain at 3.5 inches of water column ±0.3”. The input is controlled by the supply 

pressure, orifice size, manifold pressure and heating (caloric) value of the gas. 

The furnaces are shipped from the factory equipped for use with natural gas. The 

installation and operating instructions are for use with natural gas at altitudes up to 2,000 

feet, using a heating value of 1,000 Btu/hr. Should the furnace be converted to L.P., refer 

to the instructions included in the factory authorized L.P. Conversion Kit. If for use at 

altitudes in excess of 2,000 feet refer to the instructions included in the factory 

authorized High Altitude Kit.

Applications for altitudes in excess of 2,000 feet require an orifice change. The orifices 

must be selected using the table below. This table is based upon a heating value of 

approximately 1,000 Btu/ft3. If the heating value of the natural gas is less than 1000 

BTU/ft3, then reorificing may not be required. The high altitude input rate of the furnace 

must be determined as shown below. 

The input to the furnace must be checked to determine the actual firing rate of the 

furnace. To calculate the High Altitude Input Rate and Actual Firing Rate of the furnace, 

use the following formulas: 

Formula 1 - Calculating the High Altitude Input Rate of Furnace 

Series/Rating Plate Input Rate x (1 - Altitude Derate (%)) = High Altitude Input Rate 

Example: 

90,000 BTUH appliance installed at an altitude of 5,000 ft. utilizing natural gas is 

determined by: 

90,000 BTUH x (1 - .20) = 72,000 BTUH 

This value is the high altitude input rate of the furnace at 5000 feet. The natural gas or 

LP supplier may reduce the heating value of the supplied gas to accomplish the required 

derate of the furnace. 

The actual firing rate of the furnace at sea level and at high altitude utilizing natural gas, 

should be calculated by using the following formula: 

Formula 2 - Calculating the Actual Firing Rate of Furnace 

3600 (constant) x Heating Value of Gas (Btu/ft 3 ) 

Meter Time (Sec) for 1ft 3 of Gas 

Examples: 

Natural Gas Orifice Size 

Altitude (Feet) Altitude Derate (%) 80% Furnace 90% Furnace 

2,000 - 2,999 8% #44 #46 

3,000 - 3,999 12% #44 #47 

4,000 - 4,999 16% #44 #47 

5,000 - 5,999 20% #45 #47 

6,000 - 6,999 24% #45 #48 

7,000 - 7,999 28% #46 #48 

8,000 - 8,999 32% #47 #49 

9,000 - 9,999 36% #47 #50 

10,000 - 11,000 40% #48 #50 

= Actual Firing Rate (BTUH) 

90,000 BTUH appliance installed at sea level (0-1,999 feet) utilizing natural gas with a 

heating value of 1,000 Btu/ft 3 is determined by: 

3600 (constant) x 1000 Btu/ft 3 

42 Sec 

= 85,714 BTUH 

90,000 BTUH appliance installed at 5,000 feet utilizing natural gas with a heating value 

of 830 BTU/ft 3 is determined by: 

3600 (constant) x 830 Btu/ft 3

SUBJECT: Condenser Coil Service Parts 

SERVICE 

BULLETIN 

S-165 

With our continuous improvement processes, we are consolidating condenser coil 

replacement parts. This consolidation of condenser coil replacement parts will greatly 

reduce the distributors/dealers inventory. We have taken virtually hundreds of condenser 

coil combinations, and reduced it to sixteen remote cooling system condenser coils. 

This reduction also affects remote heat pump systems. We have reduced the coil 

combinations of remote heat pumps to forty three. 

With this reduction of replacement condenser coils; service parts inventory will support only 

replacement condenser coils for products ten years old or less (i.e. serial number 

9301****** - 0301******). 

Our goal is to deliver a leak-free coil to you, the customer. Each coil will be packaged and 

shipped individually, in a wooden crate to help prevent shipping damage. Before 

packaging, the coils are pressurized with approximately 120 psig of trace gas and checked 

for leaks. 

Note: The coils will be shipped with approximately 120 psig of trace gas, proper 

procedures for removal of the trace gas must be taken before installing the coils. 

In the past, in order to change out a condenser coil the manifold had to be brazed into the 

coil. This process will no longer be needed; each coil is now being assembled with factoryinstalled 

manifolds and flow raters. There may need to be a slight adjustment made to the 

compressor discharge tube, and/or the liquid line tube. We are confident this change will 

greatly reduce the possibility of leaks occurring. 

The replacement coils are categorized by condenser chassis size and coil height. There will 

be multiple applications per replacement condenser coil. The service part number, current 

condenser model, chassis size, and coil height are included with this service bulletin for 

future reference. 

Note: Replacement condenser coils ordered from Service Parts will be painted coils 

regardless of the application; except 35” x 35” coils, they will not be painted.

SUBJECT: HKR Circuit Breaker Kits 

HKR accessory electric heat kits used in the AR/AER model air handlers manufactured 

prior to 01/14/02 were manufactured with either Siemens or G.E. circuit breakers. HKR 

electric heat kits manufactured on and after 01/14/02 were manufactured exclusively with 

G.E. circuit breakers. 

HKR electric heat kits manufactured with Siemens circuit breakers are not compatible 

with G.E. circuit breakers without an additional mounting bracket. We have released 

several new replacement breaker kits for HKR electric heat kits. These new kits will 

contain a G.E. circuit breaker, additional mounting bracket to be used to replace 

Siemens breakers with G.E. breakers, and IO-615 installation instructions. 

Below is the description and part number for the HKR replacement circuit breakers kits,

SUBJECT: New LP Spring Kits for White-Rodgers 36G22Y Gas Valves 

Goodman has received field complaints that when some LP installations of Goodman 

GMT, GMNT, PGB and PGJ model units that were built using the White-Rodgers 

36G22Y Gas Valve (Max Regulation Valves - Goodman Part # B1282628), are 

converted to LP gas using the current LP Gas Conversion Kits LPT-00 or LPT-01, the 

manifold pressure cannot be adjusted to the proper LP gas manifold pressure (between 

9.5” and 10” W.C.). 

To address this situation, we have changed the White-Rodgers LP Spring used in these 

kits from the current White-Rodgers LP Spring, White-Rodgers Kit # B1880004, to a new 

LP Spring, White-Rodgers Kit # B1880007. If you are unable to obtain a LP gas 

manifold pressure between 9.5” and 10” W.C., we suggest using the new LP Spring, 

White-Rodgers Kit # B1880007. 

With the release of this new LP Spring Kit, we have revised our current LP Conversion 

Kits to Goodman Part #: LPT-00A and LPT-01A in order to track this change. These 

new LP Conversion Kits are available from order services for installation on GMT, 

GMNT, PGB and PGJ model units when converting these units to LP gas. 

Please inspect your inventory of LP kits (LPT-00 and LPT-01) and provide us with the 

quantity of LP kits that you have, so that we can provide you with new LP Spring Kits 

(White-Rodgers B188007) for replacing the current LP Spring Kits (White-Rodgers 

B1880004) used in your inventory of LPT-00 and LPT-01 LP Kits. 

To order the new LP Spring kits, fax your information to the Service Parts Department at 

1-800-435-5406 and also contact Ruby Gaidsek at 713-861-2500 (Ext. 783).

SUBJECT: Primary Limit Change on PGB030075-1A 

Goodman has received field complaints regarding nuisance tripping of the 160°F primary 

limit (Goodman Part # B13709-09) on some installations of PGB030075-1A model 

package units built prior to March 2003 (serial date code 0302 and prior). 

Our investigation of the nuisance primary limit trips, has determined the condition to be 

caused by the airflow pattern across the primary limit of the package unit due to the 

addition of an air baffle. 

Note: Do NOT remove the air baffle from these units. 

SERVICE 

BULLETIN 

S-161 

In order to eliminate the nuisance primary limit trips, a new 220°F primary limit 

(Goodman Part # B13709-11) has been released and is available from Service Parts. 

The limit is only for use on PGB030075-1A model package units that have been 

determined to be experiencing nuisance tripping of the 160°F primary limit. All units built 

after March 2003 (serial date code 0303 and later) will be built using the new 220°F 

primary limit. 

Note: Before arbitrarily replacing the primary limit due to nuisance trips, make sure that 

the following factors (e.g. plugged filter, incorrect airflow, incorrect temp rise, etc.) have 

been checked and eliminated as the culprit for causing the nuisance primary limit trips.

SUBJECT: Nuisance Primary Limit Trips on GMPE075-3*, GMPE100-4* & 

GMPE125-5*Model Furnaces 

Goodman has received field complaints regarding nuisance tripping of the primary limit 

on GMPE075-3*, GMPE100-4* and GMPE125-5* model furnaces, which was thought to 

be due to an apparent GE ECM blower problem. 

Our investigation of the nuisance primary limit trips, has determined the condition to be 

caused by the airflow pattern across the primary limit of the furnace. To correct this 

condition, Filler Plates were installed behind the indoor blower assembly to reposition the 

blower providing better airflow across the primary limit. 

In order to eliminate the nuisance primary limit trips, Filler Plate Kits (Goodman Part 

#’s: 40160-03S for GMPE075-3* and 40160-04S for GMPE100-4* & GMPE125-5*

remote condensing units CPLJ42-1, CPLJ48-1 manufactured prior to October 2002. 

This service bulletin is addressing only the units listed above. 

SERVICE 

BULLETIN 

S-158 

Some compressors generate excessive noise levels due to; unmatched indoor and 

outdoor components, refrigerant over charged, refrigerant undercharge, operating in a 

“flooded” state, or other conditions that create abnormal loads on the compressor. 

The kit listed below will not correct for excessive noise due to inappropriate installations 

or operating conditions, any installation issue must be addressed before you can expect 

any significant improvement in the noise levels. However, if you are experiencing 

excessive noise within a normal installation, the kit listed below will provide a significant 

reduction in the noise levels. 

Goodman has released a “Compressor Vibration Sound Reduction Kit” (Goodman 

Part #CVSR-01). Which is available from Goodman Service Parts department; this kit is 

designed to reduce compressor noise level.

SUBJECT: Misapplication of Service Replacement GE ECM Motors and End 

Bells 

There have been reports from the field that GE ECM Motors and replacement End Bells are being 

misapplied as service replacement parts. The GE ECM Motors are programmable air circulation motors, 

which are programmed for specific applications. 

Example: The GE ECM Motor used in an AER30-1 model blower is programmed for maximum 

performance and efficiency for its particular application. If installed in any other application, this motor will 

NOT function correctly. The same would hold true for the GE ECM Motor used in a GMPE***-*A model 

furnace, it is programmed for maximum performance and efficiency for its particular application and would 

NOT function correctly if also misapplied. 

Note: You cannot use a GE ECM motor from an AER30-1 in an AER60-1 application. These motors 

perform the same function of circulating air but the programming in each of these motors is completely 

different. 

As a service or parts manager you would not substitute a standard 1⁄2 horsepower PSC motor for a 3⁄4 

horsepower PSC motor, so why substitute GE ECM motors or end bells? Misapplication of GE ECM 

Motors or End Bells will result in improper airflow thus lower system efficiency, performance and possibly 

creating a safety or liability issue. In addition, the equipment warranty may be voided! 

When replacing a GE ECM Motor or End Bell use the chart below to make certain that the 

replacement part is correct for the application.

SUBJECT: Service Coil Improvements 

Effective November 2002, we implemented a program aimed at improving the quality of 

delivery for our condenser and heat pump service coils. Our goal is to deliver a leak-free 

coil to you, the customer, without shipping damage. 

This program requires cooperative action for us to see success and continued 

improvement. To accomplish this task, we set into motion a new Goodman process: 

Each coil is now being assembled with factory-installed manifolds and flowraters. 

Before packaging, coils are pressurized and checked for leaks. 

SERVICE 

BULLETIN 

S-156 

We improved our packaging, which has already produced significant benefits. 

The second part of this ongoing project requires your support. This is a temporary 

requirement and will be discontinued after all coils have been addressed. 

We will need you to supply the Unit Model Number along with the Revision Level of the 

unit when ordering coils. 

For example, your coil order will now contain sequencing such as CKL24-1F, where 

CKL24-1 is the Unit Model Number and F is the Revision Level. 

Thank you for your efforts as we implement further improvements to the service we 

provide our customers. Feel free to contact Goodman Technical Services at (888) 593- 

9988 if you have any questions or concerns.

SUBJECT: Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP) and Minimum Circuit 

Ampacity (MCA) 

There seems to be some confusion over the terminology being used in the specification literature 

for sizing of circuit breakers or fuses for use with our cooling and heating equipment. First we 

must clarify the two terms being used: Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP) and Minimum 

Circuit Ampacity (MCA), which are both listed on the unit nameplate. Maximum Overcurrent 

Protection (MOP) device, which can be in the form of HACR circuit breaker or fuse, tells the 

installer the largest overcurrent protection device (circuit breaker or fuse) that can be used on 

that particular unit. If a problem should develop which could cause the unit to have a very high 

current draw, the unit could be damaged, or the wiring to the unit could overheat. A properly 

sized and installed overcurrent protection device will prevent those problems from occurring. 

Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA) gives the minimum current-carrying capacity of the conductors 

or equipment, expressed in amperes. 

The installer must use an approved HACR circuit breaker or fuse that will fall between these two 

ratings, the MOP and MCA. The protection device is to be sized greater than the unit MCA but 

not to exceed the MOP. Many times this range results in several sizes of commercially available 

devices being acceptable. First and most important, ALWAYS CHECK THE UNIT 

NAMEPLATE. NEVER EXCEED THE OVERCURRENT PROTECTION DEVICE SHOWN ON 

THE UNIT NAMEPLATE. An overcurrent protection device that is too big will not open to protect 

the equipment and the building from damage. In addition, the equipment warranty may be 

voided. 

If an installer uses an overcurrent protection device, which is smaller that what is shown in the 

specifications on the unit nameplate, you could be plagued by nuisance trips (and nuisance 

service calls which are not eligible for warranty reimbursement) even if nothing is wrong. 

Example: The Minimum Circuit Ampacity rating listed on the nameplate of a CPLJ18-1 is 10.9 

amps and the Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP) Device is listed as 20.0 amps. The circuit 

breaker or fuse size may not be smaller than 10.9 amps or larger than 20.0 amps. For this 

application there are multiple choices that may be used, such as a 15-amp or a 20-amp circuit 

breaker or fuse. 

A properly installed and properly operating unit will have a steady-state amp draw considerably 

smaller than the recommended MOP size. For proper amp draw of a system, refer to the 

specifications listed on the nameplate or in the specification literature. 

IMPORTANT: While the specifications listed on the unit nameplate are presented as a guide, it is 

very important to properly size circuit breakers or fuses and wires and makes electrical 

connections in accordance with the National Electrical Code and/or all local codes.

SUBJECT: Scroll Compressor Noise 

Goodman has received field complaints regarding excessive noise and vibration from 

remote condensing units built with Copeland Scroll compressor. 

It has been said many times before, but it hears repeating, Scroll compressors, because 

of their inherent design and differences, produce different sounds and vibrations 

frequencies than reciprocating compressors. Still there are some installations where the 

scroll compressors are producing objectionable noise and vibrations. 

To address these installations, Goodman has released a “Suction Line Noise 

Reduction Kit” (Goodman Part # SLSR-01), which is available from Goodman Service 

Parts department; this kit is designed for all Goodman products built with Copeland 

Scroll compressors. 

Please note, while this kit will reduce the scroll compressor vibration, it is not design to 

overcome any of the installation deficiencies listed below: 

• Refrigeration lines are strapped tightly to structural members. 

• System is overcharged 


• System has long line sets creating abnormal compressor loads.

SUBJECT: AR & AWB AIRHANDLER DRAIN PANS 

Goodman has received field reports identifying AR & AWB vertical drain pans developing 

cracks at the field drain connection points resulting in leaks. Several drain pans were 

returned for testing & analysis. 

The number one problem continues to be “over tightening of the drain pan fittings”. 

We are adding labels in English and Spanish, warning against over tightening of the field 

male connector Effective 9/30/2002. 

Recent quality improvements include: 

SERVICE 

BULLETIN 

S-149 

• Effective 9/23/02, Manufacturing/Quality will verify all threads are of the correct 

size. 

• Goodman is changing to an improved base plastic material to eliminate brittleness 

and deformity issues. This change will be completed by 10/30/02. 

Goodman recommends the following procedures be immediately implemented for field 

personnel installing AR & AWB air handlers to prevent drain pan cracks and condensate 

leaks. 

• Drain lines should be hand tightened only. Goodman recommends using a thread 

sealant rated for use with PVC. Teflon tape should NOT be used; Teflon tape has 

been show to contribute to over tightening and cracking. 

• Drain lines should be self-supported. Do not use the drain pan as a means of 

supporting a long drain line. 

• Do not force drain lines to mate up with the drain pan. If they are not properly 

aligned, correct the alignment before making the drain pan connections. 

• Check threaded connections for roundness on units built prior to 9/23/02 (date 

code 0209 and prior). This is immediately obvious simply by rubbing your finger 

around the inside diameter of the threaded connection. Connections that are only 

slightly out-of-round may be corrected by running a 3⁄4” NPT pipe tap or “thread 

chaser” into the drain connection. Drain connections that a severely out-of-round 

will require a new drain pan.

SUBJECT: AR & AER Blower Wheels 

SERVICE 

BULLETIN 

S-147 

We have been informed of a few blower wheels used on our airhandlers (AR & AER 

models) that have not been tightened to the, motor shaft correctly. 

This is an issue that is easily detected and addressed during installation and/or start-up 

as the blower wheel will frequently slide to one side and rub the blower housing. 

Therefore, Goodman is requesting installers to check the AR & AER blower wheels at 

the time of installation. 

Should you discover a loose blower wheel, simply retighten to 150 - 165 inch pounds (12 

to 14 Ft. Lbs) of torque.

SUBJECT: Reporting White Dust on Coils 

In service bulletins S-124 and S-137 we described how a white dust can accumulate on 

the painted surfaces of some outdoor coils manufactured between April and September 

of 2000 (serial number prefixes 0004 through 0009) causing these coils to appear lighter 

in appearance than normal. In most cases this is simply a cosmetic issue and should be 

handled per the service bulletins listed above. 

In severe cases where the treatment described in service bulletins S-124 and S-137 was 

not followed, embrittlement of the aluminum may result. In this case it will be necessary 

to replace the outdoor coil under the provisions of the product warranty. 

As stated in bulletin S-137 it is very important to inspect any inventory you have of units 

in this serial range and clean and paint the condenser prior to sale. 

Whether the coil is cleaned and painted or the coil replaced we need the following 

information reported to Technical Services for all units repaired.

SUBJECT: Blower Bearing Failures on Goodman Light Commercial 7½ and 15-Ton Package 

Units 

Goodman has received field reports of premature failure of the blower bearings on the 12½ and 

15 Ton Light Commercial Package Units. 

Our investigation of these failures has revealed that excessive blower belt tension is the primary 

factor to the premature failure of the bearings. 

Quality audits on production units have found that some units have been shipped from the 

factory with excessive blower belt tension. 

When installing any Goodman Light Commercial Package unit (PCB, PGB 090-180), it is 

imperative that the installing contractor verifies and adjust the blower belt tension, in 

addition to checking the bearing collar set screws, blower sheave set screws, and belt 

alignment, as per our installation instructions (p.19 of IO-156). 

Remember: The Goodman installation instructions specify the blower belt tension to be set at 

1/8” belt deflection using 5 lbs. force. This is the maximum belt tension setting, not the minimum. 

Excessive belt tension will only shorten life span of the blower components; it will not improve 

blower efficiency.

Subject: GMNT Series Collector Box – Service Bulletin S-138 

We have discovered a matter that requires our attention involving the plastic collector box used on the GMNT 

Series of gas furnaces. A crack may develop in the collector box. The collector box is in a negative pressure 

zone. As a result, products of combustion should not escape from the furnace even if a breach develops, and 

we believe no safety concerns exist. Notwithstanding, we have determined that a rework program is 

appropriate. 

This initiative involves your “in-house” inventory (both finished goods and service parts), co-distributors and 

contractor inventory, and installed product. The products in question are GMNT040-3, 060-3, 080-4, 100-4, 

and 120-5 furnaces manufactured between August 2001 to March 2002, and bear serial numbers 0108 - 0203. 

To remedy this condition, the mold used to produce the collector box has been reworked to eliminate the “ribs” 

from the existing part as shown below:

removed. Goodman Part Number

installed. Goodman Part Number 

B48100-04, -05, -06, -07

Although similar in appearance to the collector box used on the GMPN product, the GMNT vent motor 

has a different opening and mounting footprint. THE GMPN COLLECTOR BOX CANNOT BE USED 

ON A GMNT FURNACE. 

Goodman Inventory 

Goodman finished product inventory is being reworked. A pink label with the verbiage “C-BOX OK” is 

attached to the exterior of the carton indicating that the new “non-ribbed” collector box has been 

installed. Similarly, all of the Goodman Parts Department inventory has been purged of the B48100- 

00, - 01, - 02, and -03 stock. 

Distributor Inventory 

Until the subject furnaces have been reworked, no additional GMNT furnaces should be sold. 

Goodman is developing a program to compensate your company for a warehouse rework 

program to change these collector boxes at your location or at your customer’s location. 

Details of this program will be announced shortly. 

We are requesting the following inventories be performed with the volumes noted on the attached 

“GMNT INVENTORY FORM” and faxed to Jennifer Anders at 713-863-2385: 

� Finished Goods in your warehouse. (Do not include any GMNT furnaces that have been 

reworked by Goodman and have the pink “C BOX OK” label attached.) 

� Finished Goods in your co-distributors’ or contractors’ inventory 

� Projected weekly sales of GMNT by model 

� Service parts (both distributor and co-distributor) 

To minimize any possible business impact, it is our intention to make every effort to provide you with 

the replacement parts as quickly as possible. 

Installed Equipment 

Goodman is also developing a program to replace the subject collector boxes on furnaces that have 

been installed. Details of this program will be provided shortly. 

Summary 

Although no safety concerns exist, it is our belief that both you and your dealers will agree that this 

program is warranted to insure that we continue to provide product of the highest quality. Please be 

assured that within a very short period we will be in position to provide sufficient collector boxes to 

accommodate all your needs. 

Rework instructions outlining the mechanics of this procedure are attached.

BULLETIN 

S-135 

Service complaints have indicated a continuing condensate disposal problem with some 

Large Chassis AH and AWB air handlers 

Large Chassis AWB and All airhandlers have experienced problems with water dripping 

from the face of the evaporator coil particularly Mien the blower shuts down during a normal 

cycle. Problems appear to be isolated to areas that experience very high humidity levels 

such as the Southeast and coastal areas of the East Coast 

In a previous Service Bulletin S-l22 this issue was addressed, by suggesting that the 

evaporator coil be cleaned with a suitable non-acid based coil cleaner in most cases this 

eliminated the problem at least initially but it now appears that some units will redevelop a 

dripping problem after the evaporator coil has been cleaned 

At this time there has been only one complaint of Small Chassis air handlers dripping water 

from the face of the coil. We currently believe this is an isolated case but if you do 

experience problems the kits referenced below will resolve the issue. 

1. For units with front return we recommend the installation of a Drip Shield Kit (DSK- 

##). The kit contains a drain pan extension that will collect water that drips from the 

coil and direct it to the drain pan. It also contains a filter rack that relocates the filter 

Kits DSK-02 and DSK-O3 also include water shields and sealant material.

2. For units with bottom return we suggest converting to front return and adding the 

above referenced kits if practical. 

3. If conversion is not practical then we suggest that the evaporator coil be thoroughly 

cleaned with a suitable non-acid based coil cleaner. The coil should be cleaned by 

applying cleaner to the upper side (leaving air side) of the coil allowing cleaner to 

drain through the evaporator coil. Do not apply cleaner to the entering air side only 

of the coil. This will not thoroughly clean the coil. After the coil has been cleaned we 

recommend the installation of kit number LPK-00 for Small Chassis or LPK-01 for 

Large Chassis. The kit contains a louvered panel that will be installed between the 

evaporator coil and the filter rack. The louvered panel works very well but it does 

require that the Installer be careful not to bend the louvers, if the louvers are bent it 

will be necessary to readjust them prior to installation. 

Kits can be ordered by contacting your Parts Sales Rep or the Goodman Parts 

Sales Group at (713) 861-2500 extension 603. When ordering kits this Service 

Bulletin should be referenced. 

NOTE: Please copy and redistribute to your key personnel. A hard copy will be mailed out 

to all Goodman Distributors at a later date.

SUBJECT: Vertical Mount Hydronic Air Handlers 

Notice this Service Bulletin supersedes Service Bulletin S-112. 

Service complaints have indicated a thermal siphoning problem with some of the 

AH air handlers. It should be noted that a relatively small number of units have 

experienced this problem. It appears to be related to variations in plumbing 

design, temperatures and pressures. 

Thermal siphoning can be diagnosed by 1) isolating the inlet and the outlet of the 

hydronic heating coil from the hot water supply and measuring the air handler’s 

delta T while in the cooling cycle; 2) then opening the inlet and outlet of the 

hydronic heating coil and measuring the delta T again. If thermal siphoning 

exists, a significant difference will be seen when comparing delta T’s. 

There are two possible thermal siphoning problems: 

1. Thermal siphoning is a condition that creates hot water flow in a single 

direction through the hydronic heating coil during the cooling cycle. 

SERVICE 

BULLETIN 

S-126 

Air handlers built prior to September 12, 1997 with the model numbers 

AH1826-1, AH2429-1, AH3043-1, or AH3645-1 were manufactured with a Taco 

pump which required a check valve to be factory installed separately from the 

pump. The check valve used was a non spring-loaded swing check and has 

been found to allow thermal siphoning in some applications. 

Note: The Taco pump has no impact on this problem, only the check valve 

that was used when Taco pumps were installed contributes to this problem. 

Thermal siphoning can be eliminated on units equipped with Taco pumps by 

installing check valves in both the inlet and outlet water lines of the hydronic 

coil. If the unit already has a check valve added on the outlet waterline per 

service bulletin S-112, then it would only be necessary to add a check valve on 

the inlet side.

2. Single pipe thermal siphoning is a condition that allows hot water to circulate 

in and out of a single pipe. In the AH airhandler, hot water can travel the 

length of the hot water supply line until it reaches the check valve on the outlet 

water line. At the check valve, hot water will reverse directions and return 

through the same line that it entered. 

Air handlers built prior to August 7, 2000 with model numbers AH1826-1, 

AH2429-1, AH3043-1, AH3645-1, AH1826-1A, AH2429-1A, AH3043-1A and 

AH3645-1A may experience single pipe thermal siphoning. 

Single pipe thermal siphoning can be eliminated on Taco pump equipped units 

by installing check valves in both the inlet and outlet water lines of the 


Air handlers built after September 12, 1997 with the model numbers AH1826- 

1A, AH2429-1A, AH3043-1A, or AH3645-1A were manufactured with a Grundfos 

pump that has an internal spring-loaded check valve on the outlet side of the 


Single pipe thermal siphoning can be eliminated on Grundfos pump-equipped 

units by the installation of a check valve in the water inlet line external to the 

unit. 

It is recommended that any upcoming installations of AH units built prior to 

September 1997 should include the installation of check valves on both the water 

inlet and water outlet side of the hydronic coil. Units built after September 1997, 

but prior to August 2000, should only include the installation of a check valve on 

the water inlet side of the hydronic coil. A spring-loaded check valve is located on 

the outlet side internal to the Grundfos pump. 

A spring-loaded Watts Regulator 600 series ¾” npt check valve is available from 

Goodman Manufacturing Company L.P. per part number BT3041502. It can be 

installed in a vertical or horizontal position (See the attached schematic for more 

detail). 

Valves can be ordered by contacting the Goodman Parts Sales Group at 

(713) 861-2500, extension 603. Reference this Service Bulletin when ordering 

valves.

SUBJECT: HDP12-1 / WMH12-1A Cycling (no cooling) Complaints 

Random failures of the condenser to cycle properly are resulting in complaints of no 

cooling. The circuit board in the evaporator (WMH12-1A) may fail to cycle the 

condenser back on after it has cycled off. 

The circuit board is being locked out due to “line noise” being generated by the 

condensing unit contactor coil. Since the indoor unit (evaporator) has a contactor, 

the resolution is to remove the condensing unit contactor from the circuit. This 

condition is not a problem with all installations but If it exists, follow the attached 

instructions and illustration. 

Sincerely, 

Lynn Hipp 


SERVICE 

BULLETIN 

S-123

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTACTOR FIELD BYPASS 

1. Disconnect and lock out electrical power to the evaporator and condenser unit. 

2. Locate wire connecting the “COMP” terminals between the evaporator and the 

condenser. Confirm the wire gauge is adequate to carry the condenser current 

(minimum 14 gauge). 

3. Remove the top panel from the condenser unit exposing the electrical panel. 

4. Locate, remove and discard the yellow wire connecting the contactor coil terminal 

to the “COMP” terminal on the condenser terminal strip. 

5. Locate the red wire connecting terminal “L2”to the open side of the contactor 

terminal “L2”. Remove the wire from the contactor terminal “L2” and reconnect on 

the load side of the same contactor at “T2”. 

6. Locate the red wire connecting the terminal strip “L1” and the contactor terminal 

“L1”. Remove the wire from the terminal strip “L1” and reconnect to the terminal 

strip terminal “COMP”. 

7. Locate the black wire attached to the coil of the contactor. Remove the black wire 

and reconnect to the “T2” terminal on the contactor. 

8. Replace the condenser top cover. Reapply power to the condenser and 

evaporator. 

9. Confirm operation of the unit.

COMPRESSOR CROSS-REFERENCE 

The enclosed cross reference sheets will enable you to increase your on hand compressor 

availability while at the same time reduce inventory dollars. Working in conjunction with our vendors 

and Engineering Dept. we have reduced the number of different service compressor SKU’s by 67%. 

Depletion of Existing Inventories 

Using the recommended substitution cross-reference, all original compressors within a 

recommended substitution grouping may be used for one another. Within the original compressor 

range there may be some slight efficiency variances. Prior to ordering the recommended 

substitution parts from Goodman, work to deplete your existing stocks. 

Compressor Start Thermistor 

Part number B1141658 start thermistor, may be used as needed on all compressors. 

SERVICE 

BULLETIN 

S-121 

Compressor Pricing 

Any cost variances from the original to the recommended substitution will be offset by the reduction 

in inventory dollars. This issue may arise during warranty claim filing process. As a point of 

reference price variances are as follows: 

79.2% of substitutions prices remain unchanged or are +/- 5% from the original 

compressor cost. 

20.8% of substitution prices increase 5% to 10% from the original cost. 

With the issuance of the 01/01/01 price book we will adjust pricing of the original compressors to 

match the replacement compressor. 

Efficiency / Quietness Ratings 

To maintain the integrity of equipment ratings all recommended substitutions meet or exceed original 

equipment specifications.

Internal Crankcase Heaters 

If an original compressor had a crankcase heater, all recommended substitutions are equipped with 

one. In some cases an original compressor may not have had a crank case heater and the 

recommended substitution is equipped with one. In this case, It is optional for the dealer to wire in 

the crankcase heater. 

Piping Variances 

In some cases, a dealer may have to add an elbow to the suction port during installation. This 

should be a minor change but be aware that it may become a customer service issue in certain 

cases. 

Capacitors 

If a replacement compressor is different from the original, the capacitor must be replaced. Goodman 

recommends that the capacitor always be replaced with a compressor installation.

SERVICE 

BULLETIN 

S-120 

Vent Inspection – When investigating the furnace vent, particular attention 

should be given to the condition of the vent. Any vent found to be corroded or 

pitted must be replaced. Attention to the soundness of joints and seams is to be 

given with any repairs or replacement of the vent being performed prior to 

returning the furnace to operation. The suitability of the vent size is to be 

investigated using the AGA/GAMA vent tables as a guide for non-condensing 

furnaces and the Appliance Installation Manual used as the source for 

condensing furnaces. 

Ductwork Inspection – The seal between the furnace and its ductwork (both RA 

and OA) is to be sound with no signs of air leakage. Do not rely upon tape to 

perform this seal. Taped joints should be supplemented with commercially 

available joint compound. When possible, a visual inspection of the interior of 

the ductwork should be performed and any obstructions to flow being removed.

Heat Exchanger Inspection – When performing a heat exchanger inspection it 

is preferable to first remove the burner from the furnace. Remove any loose 

scale, which may be evident in the interior of the heat exchanger. A visual 

inspection using a high-intensity light is to be performed paying particular 

attention to the seams, general body and closure rings. If a heat exchanger is 

found to be not working, it is to be replaced. Goodman will allow a $150.00 labor 

fee for the replacement of a “Serpentine”-shaped heat exchanger which is not 

working. A DOA labor allowance form is to be submitted indicating a heat 

exchanger replacement to ensure correct credit for this procedure. 

Blower Assembly Inspection – Remove the blower from the furnace and clean 

any dirt build-up/dust from the motor. Hand-spin the blower wheel to ensure the 

concentricity of the wheel. 

Gas Pressure – When operating, the manifold pressure should be 3.3 – 3.7 

inches water column on natural gas and 9.5 – 10 inches water column for LP 

installations. Gas pressure data is to be established using a manometer.
