Does Goodman make air handlers?
Yes. Goodman manufactures air handlers, including air handler with coil models like the Goodman A36-15. These units are designed to move conditioned air through your ductwork and often pair with an evaporator coil for central air conditioning or heat pump systems.
A Goodman air handler is the indoor air-moving section of an HVAC system. In an A36-15 style air handler, the key jobs are airflow, filtration support, and (when equipped) electric heat.
Common components you will see in this model’s parts list include:
- Blower motor and blower wheel (creates airflow)
- Run capacitor (helps the blower motor start and run)
- Electric heat elements (if your setup uses electric heat)
- Sequencer (controls staging of electric heat)
If you are troubleshooting weak airflow, a humming motor, or no heat on electric heat kits, these model-matched parts are often involved:
| Symptom | Common part to check | Example part on this model page |
|---|---|---|
| Weak/no airflow | Blower motor or blower wheel | Motor 1/3 hp B13400312S, blower wheel B1368036S |
| Motor hums, won’t start | Run capacitor | Capacitor 7. 12907 |
| No electric heat | Heating element or sequencer | Heating elem B1037485S, heating elem B1037488S |
Confirming the brand and model (Goodman A36-15) helps ensure you get the right air handler parts, especially for electrical items like a capacitor, blower motor, or heating element where ratings and mounting details must match.

What are the parts of an air handler?
An air handler (including the Goodman A36-15) is the indoor unit that moves and conditions air for your HVAC system. It typically includes a blower assembly, air filter area, evaporator coil section, and electrical controls; some setups also include electric heat strips.
- Blower motor and blower wheel: pushes air through the ductwork
- Evaporator coil (A-coil): cools and dehumidifies air when the AC runs
- Air filter rack/slot: holds the return-air filter
- Control components: relays, sequencers, wiring, and safety devices
- Drain pan and condensate drain: carries away water from dehumidification
- Electric heat kit (if equipped): adds heat using heating elements
These are examples of parts listed for this Goodman model that match major air-handler functions:
- Motor 1/3 hp B13400312S (blower motor)
- Blower wheel B1368036S (moves air with the motor)
- Capacitor 7. 12907 (helps the blower motor start/run)
- Heating elem B1037485S or heating elem B1037488S (electric heat strips, when used)
| Part or section | What it does | Common symptom when failing |
|---|---|---|
| Blower motor | Spins the blower wheel | No airflow, overheating, humming |
| Blower wheel | Moves air through ducts | Weak airflow, vibration, noise |
| Run capacitor | Supports motor operation | Hard starting, intermittent airflow |
| Heating elements (heat kit) | Provides electric heat | No heat, burning smell, breaker trips |
Knowing the major air handler parts helps you troubleshoot faster. For example, “no airflow” usually points to the blower motor, capacitor, or blower wheel, while “no heat” often points to the heating elements or heat controls.

How much does it cost to replace a blower motor in a Goodman furnace?
For a Goodman system like the A36-15 air handler with coil, blower motor replacement cost is usually the price of the motor plus labor; most homeowners land in the mid-hundreds to over $1,000 total depending on motor type, access, and diagnostics. If your A36-15 uses the listed motor, the part cost is shown on our motor 1/3 hp B13400312S.
Blower motor replacement pricing varies most by motor style (PSC vs ECM), whether the capacitor is replaced, and how long troubleshooting takes.
- Motor part: commonly $150 to $600+ (ECM motors can run higher)
- Labor: commonly 1 to 3 hours
- Service/diagnostic fee: often added if a tech confirms the failure first
- Optional parts: run capacitor, blower wheel, mounting hardware
- Total installed: commonly $500 to $1,500 for many homes
| Cost item | What it covers | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Motor | Replacement blower motor | $150 to $600+ |
| Labor | Removal, install, setup, test | $150 to $600 |
| Diagnostic | Troubleshooting and confirmation | $75 to $200 |
| Extras | Capacitor, wheel cleaning, minor wiring | $10 to $200 |
If the motor failed electrically or is hard-starting, replacing related wear items prevents repeat failures.
- Capacitor 7. 12907 (a weak capacitor can cause slow starts and overheating)
- Blower wheel B1368036S (if cracked, rubbing, or badly out of balance)
- Wiring connectors (burnt terminals should be repaired, not reused)
A “blower motor” quote often includes more than the motor itself.
- Motor type: ECM variable-speed motors cost more than standard PSC motors
- Root cause: restricted airflow (dirty filter, blocked coil) can overheat a new motor
- Access: tight closets and attic installs increase labor time
- System checks: verifying correct voltage, capacitor value, and amp draw adds time
These quick checks help avoid replacing the wrong part.
- Confirm the blower spins freely by hand (power off)
- Check for a swollen/leaking capacitor
- Look for a rubbing blower wheel or debris in the housing
- Verify the correct model number and motor match using how to find your appliance model number (and what it means for parts)
