Thank you for telling me how to do this. Yes, I had to laugh when you said those panel cages will make you mad b/c they keep popping out] yes indeed Sir, mine sure made me mad trying to get the panel enclosure back on. That's when I found your post here. Your tip to setup and bend those tabs was spot on, how to remove that top fan, and the tip to photograph the wiring...I had mine back in place in 15 min. and I have never cleaned an a/c unit before. Fantastic job explaining this process on a Goodman A/C. A++ I am subscribing!

I tried the lazy man's process and the amount of air rising from the fan shot up from about twenty percent to what I imagine is 85 percent. Once I'm more familiar with my unit I'll apply coil cleaner and get it nice and proper. Thanks for the upload.

I just did the cleaning for my Goodman AC and used this great video to help. I forgot to remove the 2 screws in the centers of the outer chassis which kept all 3 sides inadvertently attached... So instead of messing with the locking tabs, the 2 screws (1 for each pair of panels) kept everything together. It wasn't difficult at all and I did take a photo to show where the 3 wires for the fan controller attached.

I cleaned the condenser coil for a freind. Straight ac. Xenon brand or something. Noticed the spec sticker said goodman. And it has the same lid and cage as other goodmans. I thought i was smooth sailing until i found out tbe lid had no slack in the wires. I coukd only lift the lid a few inches in the front hardly none in the back by fan wires if i cant lift the lid enough to get my arm in there i cant pull the wires through. I sprayed the coil inside out all from holding the lid open with one hand. Totally sucked. I was tempted yo just cut the wires and splice it back together. Total pain in the butt. And oh yeah i fought with the cage reassembly and had to beat on it to get it back on. Lol.

If your going to go thru the trouble of taking the shell apart, why don't you vacuum the leaves from the inside and back flush from the inside out? Most professionals backflush when the clean as not to force dirt further into the coils
@theycallmeG902 жыл бұрын
The way I see it if you're using a foaming coil cleaner that Penetrates the coil, it dosen't matter which way you rinse the coil because the debris will push through and the cleaner also cleans out the holes on the bottom of the unit. This was recorded in the beginning of the fall season. I cleaned the leaves out when I came back in the spring

I seen those leaves and you said I'm coming back anyways to check on it in 6 months so I'm not cleaning out the leaves lol but wont those end up making it dirty again ? Just wondering is all Lol I guess my a.d.d kicked in there for a second lol ... Or would you just clean it all over again and if so how much does it usually cost to have someone do this because mind keeps freezing over the filter is fine and the mesh also I rinse it out ones a week just because I have big dogs and when they play they make the dust rise . Or how much is a good price to recharge the freon so I can start comparing good prices ? My units about 3 yrs old but thank you again for this awesome video was very helpful

your system should have a part warranty which will help. sounds like you have a leak so it needs to be found and fixed because it will cause more issues in the future. depending your location and tax code the price can very from 80-140$ a pound for 410a depending on the size of the company. id suggest calling the company who installed it

@@theycallmeG90 Thank you , You are addressing a successful 30+ year "Class A" Air conditioning Refrigeration contractor. Where the Warranty void comes about is most service guys are in way too big of a hurry and don't rinse 100% of the cleaning chemical off the coil.This left behind chemical eats away at the coil over time. Goodman analyses the coil finding this corrosion subsequently refuses the replacement money.....When you install the Machine the manufacture states to only use clear water to clean or their one approved product name that slips my mind at the moment..
