Possible Causes

Undersized system for home load, Extremely high outdoor temperatures, Dirty indoor or outdoor coils, Low refrigerant charge reducing capacity

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before cleaning coils or opening panels.

Steps to improve performance:

  • 1. Replace filters: Ensure Goodman air handler or furnace filters are clean.
  • 2. Clean indoor and outdoor coils: Have the evaporator coil professionally cleaned if dirty; rinse the condenser coil yourself if accessible.
  • 3. Reduce heat load: Close blinds during peak sun, seal obvious air leaks, and avoid using heat-generating appliances during the hottest part of the day.

When to call a professional: If d4 persists under normal conditions, a technician should check system sizing, ductwork, and refrigerant charge.
