Amana-Goodman 10197205S Collector Box
The Amana-Goodman 10197205S Collector Box is a critical OEM replacement component designed to maintain the structural integrity of the secondary heat exchanger's exhaust path. Functioning as a direct replacement for the discontinued 10197205, this flue collector box is engineered specifically for high-efficiency condensing furnaces. It manages the collection and drainage of acidic condensate generated during the combustion process, preventing moisture from backing up into the inducer motor or the heat exchanger cells. For field technicians, ensuring a vacuum-tight seal at this junction is paramount; a compromised furnace collector box often leads to intermittent pressure switch trips or "stuck open" fault codes due to restricted airflow or blocked sensing ports. Constructed from heat-resistant, corrosion-proof materials, this assembly includes the necessary collector box gasket to ensure air-tight performance and reliable drainage toward the condensate trap.
Key Benefits:- Direct OEM Match: Specifically replaces 10197205 and 10197205S for exact fitment on Amana and Goodman 90%+ AFUE furnace models.
- Corrosion Resistance: Engineered to withstand prolonged exposure to acidic furnace condensate without degrading.
- Pressure Stability: Maintains the negative pressure environment required for accurate furnace pressure switch operation.
- Integrity Restoration: Resolves common issues such as hairline cracks in the plastic housing that cause water leaks or inducer failure.
- Does this include the gasket? Yes, the 10197205S typically ships with the required foam seal to ensure a proper interface with the heat exchanger.
- What causes a collector box to fail? Most failures result from thermal stress causing cracks or accumulated sediment and rust from the heat exchanger blocking the drain ports.
- Will this fix my pressure switch fault? If the diagnostic trace shows a blockage at the collector box port or a vacuum leak at the housing, replacing this unit is the standard corrective action.

Amana-Goodman 10197205S Collector Box Could you confirm that Part# 10197205S contains both the recuperator and the seal? The picture shows the seal being included but I wanted to confirm before ordering.
If the picture shows it, it is included.

What are the dimensions of the cover?
This is out of stock and our vendor cannot reach the actual item to find out. It would just be estimating by the photo as reference.u00a0 Approx 20 x 6u201d.

Trying to replace a cracked plastic part on my amana furnace. I was able to locate a parts diagram that looks like what I need but maybe you can confirm and I will purchase. The furnace is an Amana model GUC115B50C and I think the part is 10197205S. the part is just behind the induction fan. I has a crack that is dripping water that should divert to the drain. The repair man replaced the fan due to a leak and I later found the cracked drip catch behind were the fan attaches. thanks for any help. Mike
No, it was a D9981101 which is no longer available.
