• Step 1

Find the electrical service panel. This is usually a metal box that is found in the basement, laundry rooms, or garages. Then search for the circuit breaker. Be cautious while searching as you have to identify the circuit breaker that is associated with your Goodman air conditioner.

After a minute of flipping the circuit breaker off, turn it back on. It should reset your device.

Once you have finished with the steps, you have successfully reset your Goodman air conditioner. Resetting the AC is often the solution to most of the HVAC problems you are facing. However, having to reset the device more frequently only means that there is a problem with the device and needs a repair service.
