Amana-Goodman 20171003AS Collector Box

The Amana-Goodman 20171003AS Collector Box is a critical combustion management component engineered for high-efficiency condensing furnaces. Designed to withstand the corrosive nature of secondary heat exchanger condensate, this condensate collector box ensures proper drainage and prevents pressure switch tripping. This OEM Goodman furnace part is a direct replacement for 20171003S and 20171003, commonly utilized in AMVM97, ACVM97, and GMVM97 modulating gas furnace series. For a proper seal, verify the collector box gasket seating during installation to maintain the integrity of the negative pressure system. Precision-molded from durable plastic, this HVAC flue collector facilitates the transition of combustion gases into the inducer motor assembly. To avoid furnace pressure switch errors or water backup into the inducer, ensure no obstructions exist in the drainage ports. For technicians performing maintenance, replacing a warped or cracked secondary heat exchanger collector box is essential for restoring system efficiency and preventing moisture-related failures on Amana 90% AFUE furnaces.

• OEM Compatibility: Exact fit for Goodman, Amana, and Janitrol condensing units, ensuring correct inducer motor alignment.
• Corrosion Resistance: Engineered to handle low-pH furnace condensate, preventing leaks that can damage the furnace cabinet.
• Draft Optimization: Maintains precise internal pressures required for reliable pressure switch closure and burner ignition.
• Direct Replacement: Designed for rapid field installation to minimize downtime on residential high-efficiency HVAC systems.

Common Questions

How do I know if my 20171003AS collector box is failing?
Look for visible cracks, water stains near the inducer, or recurring pressure switch codes. If the box is warped, it will compromise the vacuum seal and prevent the furnace from firing.

Is the gasket included with this collector box assembly?
Check the specific production run; however, it is standard practice to inspect or replace the mounting gasket to ensure a gastight seal against the heat exchanger plate.

Can I use an aftermarket collector box instead of the OEM 20171003AS?
For condensing gas furnaces, using OEM Goodman parts is recommended to ensure the geometry matches the condensate drain ports and inducer housing exactly.
