Amana-Goodman LAKT01A Kit
The Amana-Goodman LAKT01A Kit is a crucial field-installed accessory designed to maintain optimal system pressures when your air conditioning or heat pump unit operates in cooling mode during low ambient conditions. Typically required when outdoor temperatures drop below 55°F, this low ambient kit uses a sophisticated thermistor probe to monitor liquid line temperatures. By automatically varying the condenser fan motor speed, it prevents the indoor coil from icing and protects the compressor from potential failure. This OEM HVAC part ensures your system maintains a reliable head pressure, allowing for consistent cooling performance in server rooms or during unseasonable cold snaps. Engineered for durability, the LAKT01A is a genuine Goodman replacement part that helps extend the operational lifespan of your equipment by preventing low-pressure shutdowns and refrigerant migration issues during cold-weather operation.
Key Benefits- Prevents Coil Freezing: Regulates fan speed to keep the suction line above freezing temperatures, avoiding system icing.
- Protects the Compressor: Maintains stable head pressure to ensure proper lubrication and reduce mechanical stress.
- Year-Round Cooling: Enables reliable air conditioning operation in environments requiring cooling even when it is cold outside.
- OEM Compatibility: Genuine factory-authorized part ensures a precise fit and integration with Amana and Goodman split systems.
When is a low ambient kit required?
A kit is necessary if you need to run your air conditioner in cooling mode while the outdoor temperature is below 55°F.
Will this work with 16 or 18 SEER units?
No, this kit is not approved for units utilizing an ECM condenser fan motor; it is designed for standard PSC motors.
Are other parts needed for installation?
Yes, for full protection in low temperatures, a crankcase heater, hard start kit, and TXV are typically required alongside the LAKT01A.
