My goodman air unit wont turn on but has power to the relay and can be manually overridden at the relay but doesnt sound like the air handler comes on. I changed the batteries in the thermostat and even switched the thermostat with my second unit on opposite end of house. I also thought it might be the run capacitor again so I changed that already. Any ideas?

Check the transformer. There could be a chance that the transformer is out. If you mean you can manually turn on the unit by pushing in the contactor switch in then theres your problem The thermostat engages the low voltage side of the transformer sending 24 volts to the contactor switch engaging the system if this transformer is out it will not engage the contactor to turn on the system.. Also on the air handler at the door on the bottom of the airhandler there should be a small circle of clear plastic by looking inside of this circle you should see a green led . If you see a red led it will be flashing count the flashes as they are emmited and once you see the pattern they have then remove the bottom door of the airhandler and on the bnack of this door is a code that corresponds with the flashes i.e. 3 red flashes, pause, three red flashes. The code will tell you what is occuring within the system. However, If your system is not a newer model it may not have the leds as I have described. If that is the case the first part of this solution may correct the problem.

Good Luck on your repair

Goodman package heatpump blower motor contant running

check your themostat fan mode switch to see if it in on or auto. It should be in auto. If this does not stop indoor fan motor, (it may take up to 2 minutes for the fan to stop, preprogrammed shutoff in the thermostat and fan control cards may make you think the fan has not stopped ) If this does not stop the fan the fan control board in your air handler has a green wire shorting to 24 volt signal in the theromostat wire or the contact on the blower control card is stuck and will need replaced.

Goodman A60-20 air handler

try disconnecting all thermostat wires does it still do this? does it only run a few seconds when power first comes on? does the unit function ok if you leave the power on? i've seen this same problem before but can't remember what was wrong. if this is a new unit then be sure to check the wiring diagram as i find lots of units miswired from the factory escpecially confusing is the common on the transformer being reversed will make all kinds of strange things happen

Sound more like the cap, but if the motor is raging hot, it could be the motor, another thing it could is improper voltage although less likely. But Goodmans/ do have this weird fan relay issue were they just bite it some times. I would say its either gonna be your fan relay or capacitor, if you don't have a meter i would just go to Johnstone or whoever is you local supply house that handles goodman and ask for the fan really and the capacitor, bring your model and serial numbers, the fan capacitor is likely no bigger than a 15mfd and no smaller than 5mfd but they will be able to know, it will probably cost you 30 dollars max most likely around 15.

My Home Ac Unit Is Not Blowing Any Air

This sounds like the fan not turning during cool. You will have to check the fan relay for power during the cool cycle. The fan relay is run by the low voltage side, but still there is hi voltage present. When in heat the power goes thru the relay on one set of points then in cool goes thru the opposite side. You should have a digram present, and then on the main circuit board there is a code light. Check the light for blinking or (flash) read the bottom of the board for the code ( very small print)

I have goodman CKL49-1, air is not blowing, the

Your evaporator fan motor has quit. You need to find out if it is a relay or the fan motor. These systems come in various different setups. Updraft (vertical) or lay down (horizontal) you have to gain access to the motor and get it out. Turn off all power to the unit, look for any breakers at the panel. open the panel usually the same panel to access the filters. The motor and squirrel cage fan, will come out as one. look closely for rails at the top to slide the motor and cage out. Your wiring should unplug from the top close to the capacitor. you then can unbolt the motor - take pictures so you can reassemble it. Take the motor to a local HVAC store for a match. Be sure you get a new capacitor to go with the new motor.

Hi, just replaced the capacitor thinking that would solve the problem but it appears it did not. The motor outside would kick on the unit inside would kick on but the blower motor inside works sometimes...

Turn off the power to the air handler(indoor unit). Remove the access panel. From the motor,trace the wires back to the fan relay. One wire will probably trace back to the incoming power terminal. The other is the fan relay. It could be intermittent thermostat signal to the relay or a bad relay.
To verify if the fan motor is good,you can remove the one wire from the relay and re-attach it to the other side of the incoming power terminal. If it runs OK there,replace the relay. If it does not run,replace the blower motor.

Connecting electronic air filter to furnace fan

You may need a "current sensing relay" to clip around the neutral wire on your blower.
Run the 120v power to the main power (the power switch- hot,neutral and ground) . Run the Hot wire through the "Current Sesing Relay" wires to the EAC unit's 120v. power input. The unit will only run when the fan is on.

Hope this helps,
Matt
