Goodman CKL36-1H: Three-Ton Outdoor Condensing Unit and Its Relationship to the CKL18-1B
The Goodman CKL36-1H is a three-ton outdoor condensing unit in the same CKL residential product line as the one-and-a-half-ton CKL18-1B. The dual run capacitor carries different compressor-section microfarad ratings between the three-ton CKL36 and one-and-a-half-ton CKL18 configurations. Match all microfarad values from the installed capacitor label before ordering. Annual capacitance testing of the dual run capacitor before the cooling season is the most cost-effective preventive maintenance step on this platform.
Most Replaced Parts on the Goodman CKL36-1H
Dual Run Capacitor for the Goodman CKL36-1H
The dual run capacitor provides starting and running torque for both the three-ton compressor and outdoor fan motor in a single can. A capacitor reading more than 10% below its rated microfarad value causes the compressor to hard-start. Match all three microfarad values from the installed capacitor label before ordering.
Goodman CKL36-1H 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. Replace a contactor with visibly eroded contacts before compressor winding damage occurs.
Outdoor Fan Motor for the CKL36-1H
The outdoor fan motor pulls air through the condenser coil. Test the run capacitor before ordering a replacement motor, as a failed capacitor produces identical slow-start symptoms at a fraction of the motor replacement cost.
Fan Blade for the Goodman CKL36-1H
Replace a fan blade immediately if any blade is visibly bent, cracked, or chipped. An imbalanced fan blade causes excessive vibration that accelerates bearing wear in the fan motor.

Goodman CKL36-1H Parts FAQ
What is the Goodman CKL36-1H and what ton size is it?
The Goodman CKL36-1H is a three-ton residential outdoor condensing unit. The 36 in the model designation identifies 36,000 BTU three-ton capacity and the 1H identifies the production configuration within the CKL36 series.
How does the Goodman CKL36-1H differ from the CKL18-1B?
The CKL36-1H is a three-ton unit while the CKL18-1B is a one-and-a-half-ton unit in the same Goodman CKL residential outdoor series. The dual run capacitor carries different compressor-section microfarad ratings between the two tonnages. Never substitute capacitor specifications between the 36 and 18 configurations.
Why does my Goodman CKL36-1H 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.
Are Goodman CKL36-1H and CKL36-1L parts interchangeable?
The CKL36-1H and CKL36-1L are related production configurations of the same three-ton Goodman CKL36 platform. Many service components including the dual run capacitor and contactor are typically shared between both configurations. Always confirm the full model designation before ordering a replacement control board.
