I've only had one unit that busted a pilot tube more than once. 2 times within a couple months or something like that. I went out to do the 2nd and found poor connection causing a chatter. Can't remember if it was contactor or valve chattering but it took care of it. It was a 410 unit but...

Chinese Kwality

my customer. Unit was new when problem started

So the info is from your tech, but it's not your customer.....

Step in and sell them a new unit.

4 times since 2008

No heating here yet!

Not sure, but I think been dong it since last year.

Not customer.

I understand the valve is under warranty, but are you eating the labor to do all that or is the customer?

4 reversing valves and a new compressor and it's still blowing the cap tube..... hmmm

Did this just start since the heating season?

Would have if it wasn't R22. Goodman warranty some valves.

I hope not because it would have been easier, cheaper, faster, and probably much less headache to change the unit.

reverse valve failure at pilot cap

I am relaying this issue from my very experienced tech.

reversing valve on a goodman R22 HP has been failing at cap-pilot connection, either at hot gas or suction.

4 and counting.

Goodman has suggested many solutions, all followed but no inprovements.

No vibration seen, no slugging, new compressor with looped hot discharge to absorb vibration.

Anyone Seen this?
