GSX140361KD: Three-Ton Goodman GSX14 Outdoor Unit and the KD Production Configuration
The Goodman GSX140361KD is a cooling-only outdoor unit on the GSX14 single-stage 14 SEER R-410A platform. The KD suffix identifies a specific production configuration within the GSX14036 three-ton series. At three tons the compressor section of the dual run capacitor carries higher microfarad ratings than the two-ton GSX140241LC model on the same platform, and specifications must never be substituted between the two tonnages. Annual capacitance testing before the cooling season is the most cost-effective preventive maintenance step. The central air conditioner repair help section covers GSX14 capacitor testing, contactor diagnosis, and outdoor fan motor replacement procedures.
Most Replaced Parts on the Goodman GSX140361KD
Dual Run Capacitor for the GSX140361KD
The dual run capacitor provides starting and running torque for both the three-ton compressor and the outdoor fan motor in a single can. A capacitor reading more than 10% below its rated microfarad value causes the compressor to hard-start, accumulating heat in the motor windings that shortens compressor service life over multiple seasons. Match all three values from the installed capacitor label before ordering a replacement.
Goodman GSX140361KD Contactor
The contactor closes the 240-volt power circuit to the compressor and fan motor at every cooling cycle start. Pitted or burned silver-alloy contact surfaces increase circuit resistance and generate heat that transfers to the compressor motor terminals. A contactor with visibly eroded contacts should be replaced before compressor winding damage makes the next repair far more expensive.
Outdoor Fan Motor for the GSX140361KD
The outdoor fan motor pulls air through the condenser coil to reject heat from the R-410A refrigerant circuit. A motor that runs slowly or fails to start should have its run capacitor tested before the motor itself is condemned. A failed capacitor produces identical slow-start symptoms at a fraction of the motor replacement cost.
High-Pressure Switch for the GSX140361KD
The high-pressure switch protects the compressor from dangerous refrigerant pressure caused by a blocked condenser coil, a failed fan motor, or refrigerant overcharge. A switch that trips repeatedly under normal ambient temperature conditions points to an underlying system fault rather than a failed switch.

Goodman GSX140361KD Central Air Conditioner Parts FAQ
What ton size and SEER rating does the Goodman GSX140361KD have?
The GSX140361KD is a three-ton, 14 SEER single-stage R-410A outdoor air conditioner from Goodman’s GSX14 series. The 036 in the model number identifies 36,000 BTU three-ton capacity and the KD suffix identifies the production configuration.
What is the difference between the GSX140361KD and the GSX140241LC?
The GSX140361KD is a three-ton unit while the GSX140241LC is a two-ton unit, both on the same GSX14 14 SEER single-stage R-410A platform. The dual run capacitor on the three-ton model carries higher compressor-section microfarad ratings than the two-ton model. Never substitute capacitor specifications between the two tonnages.
Why does my GSX140361KD run but not cool the house?
The most common causes are a failed dual run capacitor, burned contactor contacts, a low refrigerant charge, or a failed compressor. Test the capacitor first using a digital capacitance meter. A capacitor reading more than 10% below its rated value is the most common and least expensive cause of a no-cooling condition on this platform.
What does the KD suffix on the Goodman GSX140361KD mean?
The KD is a production configuration suffix that identifies the specific revision of the three-ton GSX14036 outdoor unit. Always use the full GSX140361KD model number from the data plate when ordering a replacement control board, as the production suffix may affect compatibility.
