Low on freon, dirty evap, dirty filter or maybe restricted at the metering device

SOURCE: goodman split unit that heats instead of cools

Hi, Could be a run capacitor on the fan motor. They usually swell up and or leak when they go bad. If not, the only real way to test them it with a specific capacitor tester. A new capacitor would be cheaper. Make sure that the outside unit is disconnected from power before opening it up, try to spin the fan blade by hand. If it doesn't spin freely it may need oiled if possible. See above solution. Your problem is the fan motor though so if this don't do it, It will have to be replaced. If this helps, Please rate my solution. Thanks, kstfas

SOURCE: Goodman SSX16 split system not working

Defective thermostat wire.
Defective contactor.
With the t-stat set for cool and turned down on a low temperature, check for 24 volts at the contactor low voltage hookup. If you have 24 volts, replace the contactor.
You can manually close the contactor to make sure the high voltage is going through it.

SOURCE: ac fan on, blowing air, but not cold

Check outside unit if unit and compressor are running feel the large line to see if it is cold. If compressor is running and line is not cold possible charge problems. You may have a capacitor problem outside. they go out quite often. You can change this yourself, Open up outside unit and the cap is the silver bullet with terminals out the top. Bad cap can cause compressor to not operate and also the fan. You need to clean the coil inside or at leat check the coil to see if it is clean. You can clean theis with a toilet brush do not go against the coil bit brush with the fins. You may need to call a service tech but try these options first. russ

SOURCE: Goodman Condensor cplj48-1 Air handler Modle

It sounds undercharged (needs more refrigerant). Based on the conditions in your post and assuming the indoor humidity is within 20-70% range, your target superheat should be 10degF. Your superheat (assuming you have an R22 system) is far too high. The pressures are not indicating a restriction; therefore, I have to conclude you have a low charge. A low charge will cause a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant in the liquid line is vaporizing prior to reaching the Cap tube at the Air Handler.

I hope you find this information helpful to you moving forward. :-)

My goodman unit is freezing up. It is frozen from the line running out of my house than if u look down into unit, the freeze continues inside

Hello, the suction line will freeze either due to low airflow such as dirty air filter, blower wheel, evaporator coil or a weak blower motor. Also, a low refrigerant charge can cause the suction line to freeze up.

Goodman split type system, model MSG12CRN1W Want

Hi, this is very easy to find out. The out door unit has 2- copper lines coming out of it. A small one on the unit, 3/8" and a large one either a 3/4" or 7/8" depending on the size.2- rolls of copper called the line set are silver brazed into the fittings coming out of the outdoor unit of the same size and uncoiled and ran to the indoor evaporator coil. Again, one is brazed into the smaller open fitting, 3/8" and the other into the larger of the two. There is only one way to install these as the open fittings are made for you to put your lines into at the factory and silver braze them. They could have cut a line and did there own design, but that would be wrong. What kind of problems are you having? I have seen installers add to many joints to connect to and they would be in the way of the panels going on right, but its pretty much cut and dry, a larger suction line at each end, and a smaller liquid/discharge line on both ends. Please let me know the problem?

Freezing discharge line

The only way that a discharge line can freeze is if there is a restriction in it.
Are you sure it's the discharge and not the suction line?

Bon-Air mini split 1.5 ton, suction and discharge pressures are equal. discharge valve has ice on it. and the suction and compressor are very hot.

Sorry to sat but the tech has no idea what he is doing. The metering device is in the discharge valve, making that line a low pressure, not high. If the "suction" line is hotthen it is running in heat mode.

The contactor on the outside unit is sticking and must be replaced. The inside unit cycles off and the outside continues to run causing the refrigerant lines to freeze up.
