Positioned on the compressor suction line, it temporarily stores excess liquid refrigerant and meters it back as vapor — critical on heat pumps that reverse into defrost and cooling cycles, where liquid can flood back and slug the compressor. A corroded, leaking, or clogged accumulator leads to liquid floodback, oil loss, and catastrophic compressor damage; a fresh unit keeps the compressor running on vapor and protects your largest investment in the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Part Number: B1226207\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible Model: APH1642M41AB (Heat Pump)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComponent: Suction-line refrigerant accumulator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Sealed steel vessel with internal J-tube and oil-return orifice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Goodman (also fits Amana equivalents)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOEM vs. Generic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eOEM B1226207\u003c\/strong\u003e is sized to this platform's exact refrigerant volume, line diameter, and oil-return rate.

This requires an EPA Section 608 certified HVAC technician and proper tools — it is not a DIY job.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Goodman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63058298339699,"sku":"GOODMAN-B1226207","price":98.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/nationalhvacparts.com\/products\/oem-goodman-condenser-accumulator-for-aph1642m41ab-b1226207","provider":"National HVAC Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
