Goodman Furnace Parts & Replacements

Goodman furnaces are built for value and reliability in thousands of American homes. When your furnace stops heating, won't ignite, or cycles on and off unexpectedly, the fix is usually one of a handful of high-failure parts. Hot surface igniters, inducer motors, pressure switches, and flame sensors account for the vast majority of Goodman furnace repairs — and all are straightforward replacements if you have the exact OEM part.

Repair Clinic stocks genuine Goodman furnace parts for GMVC96, GMSS96, and GCVC96 models, plus older units still heating homes across America. Use your model number to find the right igniter type (silicon carbide vs. Silicon nitride matters), the correct control board for your vintage, and all the motors, switches, and valves that keep a Goodman running. Same-day shipping on most parts means you can get heat restored fast.

• Hot Surface Igniter: Won't glow, glows orange then goes dark, or furnace won't fire at all
• Inducer Motor: Rattling sounds, pressure switch keeps tripping, furnace starts then shuts down
• Pressure Switch: Furnace refuses to start even though you hear the blower trying to run
• Flame Sensor: Furnace ignites then immediately shuts off within seconds (dirty sensor can sometimes be cleaned first)
• Control Board / IFC: No response to thermostat, error codes, or furnace won't cycle at all

Enter your Goodman model number above to see parts that fit your exact furnace. If you need help locating the model number, check inside the furnace cabinet door or on the rating plate near the inducer motor.

Goodman Furnace Parts — FAQs

What's the difference between silicon carbide and silicon nitride igniters on Goodman furnaces?

Goodman furnaces use both types depending on model and vintage. Silicon carbide (SiC) igniters are older, more common in GMVC96 and earlier models. Silicon nitride (SiN) igniters are found in newer and communicating control furnaces. The two are not interchangeable — using the wrong type will prevent ignition. Your model number determines which type your furnace needs. Always verify the igniter type before ordering.

My Goodman furnace starts then shuts off within 10 seconds. What's usually wrong?

That's the flame sensor. When the furnace ignites, the flame sensor proves fire is present. If the sensor is dirty, cracked, or has failed electrically, the control board shuts off the gas valve as a safety measure. Try cleaning the sensor first with fine steel wool — it's located near the burner and often shows a carbon coating. If cleaning doesn't work, replace it with an OEM flame sensor. It's a $15 to $40 part and a 15-minute job.

How do I find my Goodman furnace model number?

The model number is on a white or silver rating plate inside the furnace cabinet, usually on the right or left side wall. Look for a 10-character code starting with "GM" (e.g., GMVC961005). Write down the full model number and any code numbers underneath it. Enter that into Repair Clinic's lookup tool to pull up all parts that fit your specific furnace, including the correct igniter type, control board, and motor sizes for your unit.

Why does my pressure switch keep tripping on a Goodman furnace?

The pressure switch monitors draft (negative air pressure inside the furnace). A tripped pressure switch is usually a symptom, not the cause. Check for: blocked or kinked draft hose (most common), clogged condensate drain line, or a failing inducer motor. If the hose and drain are clear, the inducer motor or pressure switch itself has likely failed. Inducer motor failure is more common than switch failure, so that's the first replacement to try if the hose is clear.

Goodman Furnace Model Number: Where to Look

Goodman typically places the furnace model number on the rating plate inside the blower compartment door or near the inducer motor. Turn off power before removing an access panel, then look for a white or silver label with a code that often starts with "GM." Record the complete model number, including every letter and digit. Enter it in the model number search to pull up the parts matched to your unit across the full Goodman furnace catalog. Using the complete number accounts for differences between furnace series, sizes, and production years, helping you select compatible parts without sorting through unrelated results. That means fewer wrong orders and a faster repair.
