1.1 Key Components
- GLXS3BN2410 Air Conditioner (Condenser): The outdoor unit responsible for cooling. Features 13.8 SEER2 efficiency, service valves, gauge ports, and inspection points. Pre-charged for 15’ of tubing.
- GC9S800603AN Gas Furnace: The indoor unit providing heating. An 80% AFUE, 60k BTU single-stage multi-speed ECM gas furnace. Features a stainless-steel heat exchanger and silicon nitride igniter.
- CAPTA3022A3 Downflow R-32 Coil: The indoor evaporator coil, constructed with corrosion-resistant aluminum and grooved tubing for enhanced heat transfer. Designed for downflow applications and is the same width as the furnace.
1.2 Important Considerations
This system does not comply with Federal regulations for the following States and cannot be shipped to or installed in: AL, AR, AZ, CA, DE, FL, GA, KY, LA, MD, MS, NC, NM, NV, OK, SC, TN, TX, and VA. Please verify local regulations before purchase and installation.

2. Setup and Installation
Installation of this HVAC system must be performed by a qualified and licensed HVAC technician. Improper installation can lead to system malfunction, safety hazards, and void the warranty.
2.1 Pre-Installation Checks
- Verify that the system components (condenser, furnace, coil) match the model numbers specified for your installation.
- Ensure the installation site complies with all local building codes and regulations, especially regarding refrigerant and furnace types.
- Confirm the correct airflow configuration (downflow) for your home's ductwork.
- For natural gas furnaces, ensure the gas supply is compatible. If using liquid propane (LP), a separate LP conversion kit is required.
2.2 Component Placement
The outdoor condenser (GLXS3BN2410) should be placed on a level pad, ensuring adequate clearance for airflow and maintenance. The indoor furnace (GC9S800603AN) and coil (CAPTA3022A3) are designed for downflow applications and should be installed in a configuration that allows air to enter from the top and be pushed out the bottom into the ductwork.

2.3 Refrigerant (R-32) Information
This system uses R-32 refrigerant. R-32 is a more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly refrigerant compared to older types. It requires specific handling procedures due to its slight flammability. Ensure your installer is trained and equipped for R-32 systems.

3. Operating Instructions
Your Goodman HVAC system is controlled by a thermostat. Refer to your thermostat's user manual for specific programming and operation details.
3.1 Cooling Operation
- Set your thermostat to "Cool" mode.
- Adjust the desired temperature. The system will automatically cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature.
- Ensure all vents are open and unobstructed for optimal airflow.
3.2 Heating Operation
- Set your thermostat to "Heat" mode.
- Adjust the desired temperature. The furnace will ignite and operate to warm your home.
- If your furnace is connected to an LP conversion kit, ensure the LP tank has sufficient fuel.
3.3 Fan Operation
- The fan can be set to "Auto" (runs only when heating or cooling) or "On" (runs continuously). "Auto" is generally recommended for energy efficiency.
4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the efficiency, longevity, and safe operation of your HVAC system. It is recommended to have a qualified technician perform annual inspections and tune-ups.
4.1 Air Filter Replacement
- Check your air filter monthly and replace it every 1-3 months, or more frequently if you have pets or allergies. A dirty filter restricts airflow and reduces efficiency.
- Locate the filter slot in your furnace or air handler. Note the size and type of filter for replacement.
4.2 Outdoor Unit (Condenser) Maintenance
- Keep the area around the outdoor unit clear of debris, leaves, and vegetation to ensure proper airflow.
- Gently clean the condenser coils with a soft brush or hose to remove dirt and dust. Avoid bending the fins.
4.3 Professional Servicing
- Schedule professional maintenance annually, ideally before the heating and cooling seasons.
- A technician will inspect electrical connections, refrigerant levels, coil cleanliness, and overall system performance.
5. Troubleshooting
Before calling for service, check the following common issues:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| System not cooling/heating | Thermostat set incorrectly, dirty air filter, tripped circuit breaker, clogged condensate drain. | Check thermostat settings, replace filter, reset breaker, clear drain. |
| No power to unit | Tripped circuit breaker, emergency shut-off switch engaged. | Check electrical panel, ensure all switches are in the "On" position. |
| Unusual noises | Loose parts, debris in fan, motor issues. | Turn off unit and inspect for visible obstructions. If noise persists, contact a technician. |
| Water leakage | Clogged condensate drain, frozen evaporator coil. | Clear condensate drain. If coil is frozen, turn off AC and allow to thaw, then check airflow. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact a qualified HVAC technician for assistance.
