    My wife and I bought a house in August this year and were trying to figure out why the Goodman furnace wouldn't stay on. We even had an HVAC person come out, and sure enough, the only time it worked was when he came over. $125 bill for, "sorry, seems to be working now." Then it stopped working the next day. This video helped me identify that indeed moisture build up in the hoses was the issue. I drained two tablespoons of water, and the house is quickly rising from 58°F to 70°F. I'm saving this video for future troubleshooting

      Did you find the cause of moisture build-up? Doesn't draining the water only address the issue temporarily?

      @@yukuhana most likely, the length of the hose was too long, causing a dip which acted like a "p trap". I had also just turned it on, after it being off for several months. Since draining the liquid, it's been running just fine for several weeks.

      @@martinaxe6390 Thanks for the reply. My furnace squirrel cage fell off 3 weeks after I moved in to the new house and in the process ruined the motor's axle. I don't know how the previous owner staged it. LOL. Good luck!

      @@martinaxe6390 hi Martin.
      When you say the length of the hose was too long, are you referring to the 2 tubes that lead to the drain trap on the outside of the furnace? I'm asking because when I turn on my furnace, it makes gurgling noises and spews water all over the place. I am seeing that the drain trap has water in it that kinda just sits there, and as the furnace is on, the water is being drained but those tubes that hang inside my drain trap are too long, causing the ends of the tubes to sit in the water, and any air that comes through causes it to bubble up and spew out of the drain trap. Was that the case with you? Because I feel those pipes leading to the drain trap are too long.

    Last year my inducer motor was making loud squeaky sound and I was watching and ignoring water around the furnace and in March the motor stopped working, we replaced the motor and completely ignored the leakage because the leakage stoped coming but it had done the damage by shortening or corroding the motor. Now just this week I ran the furnace and today I noticed water building up at the bottom of the furnace and I believe your video helped me in tracking down the source of the water. I put some bleach in the area where two small dark hoses come out and I also tighten the hoses, I hope I fixed the issue. Thank you for posting the video.

    Very nice. This emboldens me to disconnect parts which I'd be afraid to disconnect. Thanks much!

    I think the best way is visual check on your furnace. When fall comes, set your heat thermostat to 2 deg above ambient, go to the attic or where furnace is located, turn off the switch, remove top panel, turn on the switch, watch the sequence until you got hot air on your blower, you are done. In La Ca I have never seen a block tubing. Most are capacitor, motor, pcb control board, contactor. limit switch, dirty filter, dirty flame sensor, broken ignitor. Do the same on spring on your AC, visual check, just turn it on, remove cutoff switch in condenser unit, check value of cap, clean if condenser coil is dirty hose it.

    Thanks for the video. I have a question if you don't mind...
    When I turn on my furnace, it makes gurgling noises and spews water all over the place in that gray drain trap at 5:16 of your video. I am seeing that the drain trap has water in it that kinda just sits there, and as the furnace is on, the water is being drained but those tubes that hang inside my drain trap are too long (or seem to be too long), causing the ends of the tubes to sit in the water, and any air that comes through causes it to bubble up and spew out of the drain trap.I feel those pipes leading to the drain trap are too long. I have noticed when this happens, my furnace doesn't want to light up; the flame does not stay on and blows cold air.
    Is there a fix or this? Can I cut to shorten those black tubes?

    Hi thanks for the video. Hope you can point me out on my problem. I switched from heating to A/C and my SSZ14 is not starting. The error code on my goodman furnace AVPTC is C1 - LOW STAGE COOL - LEGACY MODE ONLY. Do you have any idea how to resolve this issue. The unit was working great during winter but now switching to A/C and the heat pump is not starting anymore. Thanks Hugo
