Keep your Goodman GSX140601KD central air conditioner running efficiently with genuine OEM replacement parts from Repair Clinic. The GSX140601KD is a five-ton, 14 SEER single-stage R-410A outdoor unit that is the largest standard residential capacity in the Goodman GSX14 series. At five tons the GSX140601KD is typically serving a large residential or small commercial installation, where prolonged operation hours further accelerate wear on the dual run capacitor and contactor beyond what a residential three-ton unit would experience. Repair Clinic stocks genuine Goodman OEM parts for the GSX140601KD including the Goodman capacitor parts, contactor, and Goodman fan motor parts.

GSX140601KD: Five-Ton Maximum Residential Capacity Requires High-Current Rated Components
The Goodman GSX140601KD operates at the maximum standard residential outdoor unit capacity. The five-ton compressor draws significantly higher inrush and run current than three or four-ton units, which requires a dual run capacitor rated for the higher starting torque demand and a contactor rated for the higher steady-state current. Substituting a capacitor or contactor from a smaller-capacity GSX14 unit on the five-ton GSX140601KD would result in premature failure of the substituted component. Always confirm the capacitor microfarad rating from the label on the installed capacitor rather than assuming cross-compatibility from a smaller GSX14 variant. The central air conditioner repair help section covers five-ton outdoor unit service considerations.
Most Replaced Parts on the Goodman GSX140601KD
Dual Run Capacitor for the GSX140601KD
The dual run capacitor on the five-ton GSX140601KD must handle the high inrush current of the five-ton compressor at every cooling cycle start. A capacitor reading more than 10% below its rated microfarad value causes hard starts that immediately stress compressor motor windings. Annual testing is especially critical on a five-ton installation where compressor replacement would be far more expensive than the capacitor it protects.
Goodman GSX140601KD Contactor
The contactor on the GSX140601KD must handle the higher steady-state operating current of the five-ton compressor. A contactor rated for three-ton or four-ton applications must never be substituted on the five-ton GSX140601KD. Inspect contact surfaces annually and replace immediately when pitting or burning is visible.
Outdoor Fan Motor for the GSX140601KD
The outdoor fan motor on the five-ton GSX140601KD moves air across the larger condenser coil area required for five-ton heat rejection. A failed or intermittent fan motor on a five-ton unit causes the compressor to operate at extremely elevated head pressure. Test the run capacitor first. A failed capacitor produces the same slow-start symptom as a failed motor at a fraction of the cost.

Goodman GSX140601KD Central Air Conditioner Parts FAQ
What ton size is the Goodman GSX140601KD?
The GSX140601KD is a five-ton central air conditioner outdoor unit. The 060 in the model number identifies 60,000 BTU capacity, which corresponds to the five-ton classification that is the largest standard residential outdoor unit capacity.
Why does the Goodman GSX140601KD trip the circuit breaker at startup?
Breaker trips at startup on a five-ton outdoor unit are most commonly caused by a failed dual run capacitor that forces the compressor to hard-start against full head pressure without capacitor assistance, drawing current well above the breaker rating. Test the capacitor immediately before any other diagnosis.
What ampacity circuit does the Goodman GSX140601KD require?
The GSX140601KD is a five-ton unit that draws significantly more current than a three or four-ton unit. The minimum circuit ampacity and maximum fuse or breaker size are listed on the unit data plate and must be verified against the installed circuit before startup.
How does the GSX140601KD differ from the GSX140481KD?
The GSX140601KD is a five-ton unit at 60,000 BTU while the GSX140481KD is a four-ton unit at 48,000 BTU. The five-ton model uses a larger compressor with higher current requirements, a larger dual run capacitor, and a higher-rated contactor.
