Goodman B1256555S Electric Heat Sequencer – Genuine OEM 5 kW 24V Single-Pole Control

The Goodman-Amana Heat Sequencer 5KW, B1256558, is a crucial OEM replacement part for electric furnace heat strips, designed to precisely control the timing of turning on/off heating elements and the blower motor in stages for efficient, safe, and consistent heating in Goodman, Amana, and Janitrol HVAC systems, often replacing older models like B1256551. B1256558 controls staged heating, it is controlling by managing the sequence, ensuring heating elements activate in the correct order and at specific temperature/time intervals (e.g., 10-20 seconds on, 30-70 seconds off). It manages the blower motor and also coordinates the blower motor's operation with the heating elements.

The B1256558 part number is affiliated with and can be cross-referenced with the following numbers:

• B12565-58: A common representation of the part number found on the physical component.
• B1256551: An older, obsolete manufacturer part number that the B1256558 replaces.
• BT1256500: Another obsolete or alternative stock number used by manufacturers and suppliers.
• 309561: A stock or part number used by some distributors.
• 309837: Another part number sometimes associated with Therm-o-disc versions of the switch.
