Front cover pressure switch tube relocation (horizontal, left side down)

What is going on

On a Goodman GMVC96 laid horizontally with the left side down, the front cover pressure switch tube has to be moved to the lower port on the collector box cover. If you leave it where it was, the switch can end up reading a water-filled port. It is a small job once you have the parts in hand.

Likely causes

• Tube left on the upper port after a left-side-down horizontal install
• Rubber plug not moved from the bottom to the top collector box port
• Tube too long and kinked after routing

Check in this order

1. Remove the tube from the front cover pressure switch and the collector box cover.
2. Move the rubber plug from the bottom collector box port to the top port.
3. Take the 24 in. x 1/4 in. tube from the bag assembly.
4. Connect one end to the front cover pressure switch.
5. Route the tube to the lower port on the collector box cover and cut off the extra length.
6. Check the tube has no kinks or sags where water can sit.
