Burner Flame

Check the burner flames for good adjustment, a stable, soft and

blue flame that is not curling, floating or lifting off.

WARNING

To avoid personal injury or death due to electrical shock,

Goodman 96

do not remove any internal compartment covers or

attempt any adjustment. Contact a qualified servicer at

once if an abnormal flame should develop.

At least once a year, prior to or during the heating season, make a

visual check of the burner flames.

NOTE: This will involve removing and reinstalling the heat

exchanger door on the unit, which is held by 2 screws. If you are

uncertain about your ability to do this, contact a qualified

servicer.

If a strong wind is blowing, it may alter the airflow pattern within

the unit enough that an inspection of the burner flames is not

possible.

Cleaning Burners

1. Disconnect the electric power and gas supply to the unit.

2. Remove the screws securing the manifold to the burner

retention bracket. Remove the manifold and rotate each

burner counterclockwise to remove.

Unit Fails to Operate Properly

Review "Sequence of Operation" and visually inspect the

following before troubleshooting:

WARNING

GOODMAN 6

HIGH VOLTAGE!

Disconnect ALL power before servicing.

Multiple power sources may be present.

Failure to do so may cause property damage,

personal injury or death.

Manifold Assembly

3. Remove the burners.

4. Use a bottle brush to clean burner insert and inside of the

burners.

5. Replace the burners and manifold.

6. Inspect the burner assembly for proper seating of burners in

retention slots.

7. Reconnect the electrical power and gas supply.

Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing

controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous

operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.

Always verify proper operation after servicing.

For further information on the yearly inspection, consult the User

Manual. It is recommended that a qualified servicer inspect and

service the unit at least once each year.

Turn the unit on at the thermostat. Wait a few minutes, since any

dislodged dust will alter the normal flame appearance. Flames

should be predominantly blue and directed into the tubes. They

should not be yellow. They should extend directly outward from

the burner ports without curling downward, floating or lifting off of

the ports.
