The Goodman B1789868 Piston Kit is a genuine OEM refrigerant metering device engineered for the ASZ130361AA heat pump. The fixed-bore piston (orifice) meters liquid refrigerant into the coil at the precise rate required for rated capacity and efficiency — a mismatched or worn piston causes poor cooling, freeze-ups, and compressor strain.
Piston bore size is model-specific and stamped by the factory. An OEM piston guarantees the exact orifice diameter for correct subcooling and superheat. Generic or approximated pistons can flood or starve the coil, robbing capacity and shortening compressor life. For a 3-ton R-410A system, the correct piston is critical to hitting rated performance.
Moderate (3/5). Requires opening the refrigerant circuit — recover refrigerant, replace the piston at the distributor/liquid line, pull a vacuum, and recharge by weight. EPA 608 certification required. Budget 45–60 minutes plus evacuation time. Not a DIY job unless you are refrigerant-certified.
