20 Most Recent Goodman CPLE24-1 Air Conditioner Questions & Answers

only when you have a leak.

low air flow or low on freon

check outside breaker see if it tripped. thermostat, low voltage wire going to outside unit or contactor on outside unit bad.

check outside breaker or fuses. check to be sure 24 volts is at outside unit. replace contactor if all ok.

the capacitor is possibly bad the indoor fan uses its own capacitor while the outdoor fan and compressor share a capacitor

the capacitor helps the compressor to start turning it is the most likely part to fail and is one of the least expensive parts

Replace defrost board

Sounds like a bad board

This model numbers associated with this post are for a heat pump system. Usually the filter is not located in these units but is located in the bottom of the air handler or furnace box. if it is not there then look either in the metal duct next to the air handler box or in the return grills in the living area of the home. I hope this helps:)

It sounds like the run capacitor(silver can in control box) has failed if your comfortable around electrical you can change it; just replace it with the same rating as your other one. Make sure the power is off and write down it rating (i.e. 35+5 370 or 440 volts for a dual or 35 370 or 440 volts for a single).

Go out there to the outside unit and kill the power.
Find the Capacitor and look for a swelling or leaky case.
That thang shuting on and off quickly several times coulda done in that cap. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61

If it was the capacitor, the capacitor would be shorted which you would be able to tell by your meter. It sounds like the motor is getting hot from either worn bushings (bearings) or the wiring in the motor has a partial ground or short. In either case, sounds like you may be replacing a motor.

Due to the many different questions I see about Air Conditioning, I am including this overview to help us better understand each other for trouble shooting. A basic air conditioning system has a Thermostat, Air Handler or Furnace Fan and a Condensing unit. In a split system, the condensing unit (Condenser) is separate from the furnace and usually in the back yard. When working properly, it blows hot air. It connects to the cooling part of the system by 2 copper lines. One large line and 1 small line. The part that cools the house is the "Evaporator" and is usually on top of the furnace inside the square metal box (Plenum). When the Air Conditioner is running, the large copper line should be cold and the smaller line should be warm. Common signs of low refrigerant are that both lines are the same temperature and/or frost or ice has built up on the large line at the condenser. The thermostat will normally display room temperature on till it is touched to change the setting. It could have a "Span" setting as well as times and temperatures. The operating "span" of MOST residential thermostats is 40 to 90 degrees. That means you can set it as low as 40 degrees and no higher than 90 degrees. It probably has a fan switch also. When in the "ON" position, the fan will run constantly, 24 / 7, but the condenser will still cycle on and off as needed to keep the house at set point. If you have a suggestion to include in this paragraph, please let me know.

I think I have it covered above. Let me know if you need something more specific. Thank you. Roger

Hello, it is possible that the unit may be undersized for you home and not being able to keep up with the indoor heat load. The only way to determine thia have a hvac contractor do a cooling load calculation on your home. I have seen many units undersized that cause this problem.

the problem is the capacitor need to be replaced inside the unit
this is an inexpensive part

Refrigerant 22. Here is the site for the units specifications on the CPLE24-1. http://www.alpinehomeair.com/viewproduct.cfm?productID=453054740 Please grade the help I have given. Good or bad, it all helps. Thank you. Roger

Fan contactor is struck. Replace fan contactor.
