Why does the transformer keep burning up on a ar36-1 Goodman heat system
I am not familiar with the appliance but a transformer is likely to fail if it is the wrong rating for the application, if there is a fault in a component or circuitry causing an overload condition, there is insufficient cooling or ventilation or the transformer is of an inferior quality.
I have a Goodman GMS9/GCS9 Gas-Fired Warm Air furnace and it's no
For anyone who finds this question in the future - It's the condensate drain hose for the heat exchanger.
Get a bucket and some towels handy and unplug the lowermost flexible rubber hose - if you do this right after the furnace has stopped, water will come gushing out. Mine was continually plugging up causing my furnace to stop, like yours - the L shaped plastic tube that dips into the drain trap on the outside of the unit (the thing filled with water) was too close to the bottom of the trap. I took it out, shortened it by 1/2 an inch (keep the same bevel that's on there!) and I haven't had a problem since. Blowing out the line would only hold things off for a few weeks before it started acting up again.
Cost me $90 for a service call the first time since visually it looks fine and I checked the upper hoses that go to the pressure switch :)
Learn from my service call!

How to take top cover off a Goodman PGB036100
You have to take the side panels off first on some units. Typically there are 5/16" screws along the top of the unit. Make sure you have the power off to the unit before working on it.
CHANGING OUT A FAN MOTOR
The black and white wires get 220 from the contactor. The brown and brown/white go to the capacitor. I do hope you bought a matching capacitor to go with the new motor. They don't cost much and make the hook-up way easier.
