1 Airflow before you touch the limit
On Goodman GR9S96 a limit is airflow or overfire until proven otherwise. Do not replace the limit first. Filter, blower wheel, A-coil, and the heat-speed setting for THIS motor (tap, model plug, or communicating CFM — not a sister SKU chart). This is a 9-speed ECM. Read the heat tap before you replace a limit.
Expect: 9-speed heat tap: Match the installer’s tap to the rise range on the rating plate (typically 35–65°F).

On the plates
- This is a 9-speed ECM. Read the heat tap before you replace a limit.
- Filter, coil, TES vs the GR9S96 blower chart for this cabinet (A/B/C/D).
- Manifold vs plate — overfire trips limits with a clean filter.
