Amana CK49-1: Four-Ton Outdoor Condensing Unit and Goodman Platform Equivalence
The Amana CK49-1 is the four-ton configuration in the Amana CK residential outdoor series, above the two-and-a-half-ton CK30-1A. The CK49-1 shares its platform with the equivalent Goodman model at the same configuration under the same parent company. Annual capacitance testing of the dual run capacitor before the cooling season is the most cost-effective preventive maintenance step.
Most Replaced Parts on the Amana CK49-1
Dual Run Capacitor for the Amana CK49-1
The dual run capacitor provides starting and running torque for both the four-ton compressor and outdoor fan motor. The four-ton capacitor microfarad rating differs from the smaller CK30-1A configuration. Match all three microfarad values from the installed capacitor label before ordering.
Amana CK49-1 Contactor
The contactor closes the 240-volt compressor power circuit at every cooling cycle start. Pitted or burned contact surfaces generate heat that transfers to the compressor motor terminals.
Outdoor Fan Motor for the CK49-1
The outdoor fan motor pulls air through the condenser coil. Test the run capacitor before ordering a replacement motor.
High-Pressure Switch for the Amana CK49-1
A high-pressure switch that trips repeatedly under normal ambient conditions points to a blocked condenser coil, failed fan motor, or refrigerant overcharge rather than a failed switch diaphragm.

Amana CK49-1 Parts FAQ
What is the Amana CK49-1 and what ton size is it?
The Amana CK49-1 is a four-ton residential outdoor condensing unit from Amana. Amana, Goodman, and Daikin are related brands under the same parent company, and service components for the CK49-1 are interchangeable with equivalent Goodman platform models at the same configuration.
Why does my Amana CK49-1 hum but not start?
A unit that hums but does not start has most commonly failed at the dual run capacitor, which cannot provide adequate starting torque to the compressor or fan motor. Test the capacitor with a digital capacitance meter before testing the contactor or compressor.
How does the Amana CK49-1 differ from the CK30-1A?
The CK49-1 is a four-ton unit while the CK30-1A is a two-and-a-half-ton unit, both in the Amana CK residential outdoor series. The dual run capacitor carries different compressor-section microfarad ratings between the two tonnages.
How often should I test the capacitor on the Amana CK49-1?
Test the capacitor annually before the cooling season. A reading more than 10% below the rated microfarad value indicates a weakening capacitor that should be replaced before it fails under peak summer load.
