OEM Goodman Condensate Drain Trap for GME951005DXAB Furnace — 20171701

The genuine Goodman 20171701 condensate drain trap is the factory replacement for the GME951005DXAB high-efficiency gas furnace. On 95%+ AFUE condensing furnaces, the drain trap captures acidic condensate from the secondary heat exchanger and maintains the water seal that keeps flue gases from escaping into the cabinet. A cracked, clogged, or dried-out trap is one of the most common causes of pressure-switch lockouts and nuisance shutdowns.

OEM vs. Generic

This is a true Goodman OEM part built to the exact port spacing, barb sizing, and seal geometry of the original. Generic universal traps often require adapters and can leak or fail to hold the correct water column, tripping the pressure switch. Choosing OEM guarantees a drop-in fit and preserves your equipment warranty.

Installation Difficulty

Easy (2/5). Replacement is typically a 15–20 minute job: power down the furnace, disconnect the drain hoses, remove the old trap, seat the new 20171701, and reconnect. Flush and prime the trap with water before restarting. No special tools required beyond a screwdriver and a shop towel.
