OEM Goodman B1226206 Condenser Accumulator

The B1226206 suction-line accumulator is a factory component of the Goodman ASZ130241AE 13 SEER, 2-ton heat pump. Positioned on the compressor suction line, it traps liquid refrigerant during the defrost cycle and low-load conditions, metering it back as vapor to protect the compressor from liquid slugging and oil washout. On a heat pump — which reverses flow between heating and cooling — a properly sized accumulator is essential to compressor longevity.

Specifications

Part type: Suction-line liquid accumulator
OEM Part Number: B1226206

OEM vs. Generic

Universal accumulators may have the wrong internal volume or stub diameter, forcing adapters and altering refrigerant behavior. The OEM B1226206 is matched to this unit's charge and line set, ensuring correct oil return and compressor protection for the life of the system.

Install Difficulty

Professional (5/5). Requires EPA 608 certification: recover the refrigerant, unbraze the old accumulator, braze in the replacement under nitrogen, evacuate, and recharge. This is a job for a licensed HVAC technician.
