ARUF486016BA: Goodman Four-Ton Uncased Upflow Air Handler Service
The Goodman ARUF486016BA is a four-ton uncased air handler without a factory sheet-metal cabinet, requiring a field-supplied enclosure for installation. The four-ton blower motor must not be substituted with motors from smaller-tonnage ARUF models. In heat pump applications annual run capacitor testing before the cooling season is especially important because the blower accumulates more annual hours from year-round dual-mode operation.
Most Replaced Parts on the Goodman ARUF486016BA
Blower Motor for the Goodman ARUF486016BA
The four-ton blower motor must not be substituted with motors from smaller-tonnage ARUF models. In heat pump applications this motor runs year-round. Test the run capacitor before ordering a replacement motor.
Run Capacitor for the ARUF486016BA
A capacitor reading more than 10% below its rated microfarad value causes the motor to run hot at reduced airflow. Annual testing before the cooling season catches a weakening capacitor before it fails.
Control Board for the Goodman ARUF486016BA
A board fault typically presents as the wrong blower speed in one operating mode or failure to advance the cycle sequence after a valid thermostat call.
Drain Pan for the ARUF486016BA
A four-ton unit produces more condensate than smaller-tonnage models. A drain pan that overflows continuously has a clogged condensate drain outlet.

Goodman ARUF486016BA Air Handler Parts FAQ
What ton size is the Goodman ARUF486016BA air handler?
The ARUF486016BA is a four-ton uncased Goodman air handler. The 48 in the model designation identifies 48,000 BTU four-ton capacity within the ARUF uncased upflow series.
What is the difference between the Goodman ARUF486016BA and the ASPT37C14AC?
The ARUF486016BA is a four-ton uncased air handler without a factory cabinet while the ASPT37C14AC is a three-and-a-half-ton cased air handler with a factory cabinet. The two units also differ in tonnage, so blower motor components are not interchangeable.
Why is my Goodman ARUF486016BA not circulating air?
No airflow is most commonly caused by a failed run capacitor, a tripped circuit breaker, or a clogged filter. Check the filter and breaker before testing the capacitor and motor.
Is the Goodman ARUF486016BA compatible with heat pumps?
Yes. In heat pump applications the blower runs year-round, making the run capacitor a higher-wear item than in cooling-only installations.
