Was talking to a fellow tech and he has seen some issues on a new Goodman HP.
He sat a goodman 5 ton single phase heat pump GSZ130601 unit only to have a stuck reversing valve. Or 4 way valve if you fancy!
Would not pump either direction.
Got a replacement condensor only to have it do the same thing.
They put a 3rd 14seer condensor in and all was fine.
DON"T mess with the US
I thought I had been there and done That.

Because, simply put, I've NEVER seen two condensers from the same mfg be DOA in a row, EVER. I'm betting your buddy either misdiagnosed or did something wrong.

I just changed a Reversing Valve in one today, in the rain, and we've got 5 more to go. These things are evil. Cheap, Chinese, P.O.S. valves! And a real to replace as well! Glad it's not winter.
omg IS THIS GOING TO BE SHOWING UP IN A LOT OF OTHER BRANDS?
i HAVENT COME ACROSS doa let alone a run of the same issues with the same brand ever! this sounds like something to stay away from.. the only goodmans ive installed of late are r22 dry units where needed but i can stick to payne if needed..
Does the warantee include the labor and travel time? Never had a bad Goodman out of the box...
