Thank you for this video! I’m handy but not a handyman or construction type worker so I did call the HVAC tech in to diagnose the problem. He said it was the furnace blower motor. The part alone was supposedly $1464 the install was over $500. I bought the appropriate exact new gen replacement for $300. With your help it took me about 45 minutes to install. Everything went perfect and like the breath of the heavens cold air once again flows from the vents! Perfect instructions! Saving this for the next time!

Videos like this really help American Dads like me! You know....the screw it, I'm not paying, do it type 😆. I am a gas station maintenance technician with some residential hvac experience, but I've never changed a blower motor. Thanks a lot for taking time for all of us out here trying to save money and fix it right on our own!

Probably the best blower motor replacement videos I have seen. Good step by step instructions and safety reminders. Great job! Thank you.

I live out in the boonies and just to get someone out to my house is a hassle due to where I live. I've become pretty handy on learning how to fix things. This video is awesome if the need ever arises that I would have to replace my blower motor. I hope I never do, but this video provided awesome instructions and I would not have a problem tackling the job myself! Thank you for posting it!!

I’m cleaning my air handler’s motor and housing tomorrow morning. Thank you so much!

You took that screw out , the ground was connected lol . Good video 👍

Thanks ! As others have said, it is really nice that you made this video. I had discovered my blower had some slides, but didn't know what I might be in for after I got it out. Great to see how the mounting is done and how the fan blade cage is attached to the motor shaft. Thanks for taking the time to film this and put it up on KZfaq for others to learn from !

Man thank you so much for posting the whole process. There were little things I was unsure of like the wiring to the capacitor if it mattered which wire went were and other details, this helped me out a lot. $200 part, probably saved me at least $500 in labor (just a guess). Take care.

Thanks for the detailed informative video. It gave me the confidence and knowledge to tackle this on my own and saved me money!!

Thank you for the video! Mine was squealing like a mofo. Did your step by step, cleaned the motor then put it all back together. It’s quiet again. God bless!

Thank you video. Nice work on that furnace. (It helped & encouraged me to press on towards replacement of our furnace's failed motor [it's on order]). I'm not ready to spend big $ for a new furnace. Perhaps in a year or so. Thank you much.

Fantastic teaching, brother! This video will help me so much.

i reckon i am gonna give it a whirl! thank you for this excellent video!

This was a great video ! Thank you very much for this

Good, but you should add a segment where the freaking fan is stuck on the shaft and you have to use a puller to get it off. That is my experience in the past when I replaced one.

This video is a godsend! I was able to test AC with a new capacitor but that didn't work. I was able to remove the blower and ordered a new motor. I will post details once I receive the motor and install it. Again thank you for this very informative video.

Great video. Thank you for your content

Thank you for the information I appreciate it!!!!!!!

thank you sir very much very helpful

This was great, ty!

Great instructions

perfect video thank you

Thank you so much!

good work man

I had to pull the blower motor from our Goodman furnace ... the blower fan was vibrating the whole furnace and making a noise in the house . I suspected the motor bearings but found the blower blade assembly was failing mechanically. Getting the fan assembly out in the hot attic was not fun . Replaced the blower fan and everything was good again. The AC place said blower fan mechanical failures were not uncommon.

Dude! Thanks!

I need the blower motor for both AC and Heat, correct? Mine makes the same noise but never turns on, think I should attempt to buy a new one and change it myself? My furnace is in the attic, thank you

Is it possible that the wire that pulled out so easily was just not getting enough power to the fan so it would slowly spin but not start?

On my unit, that shorter ground wire is connected at the closest bolt that holds one of the suspension arms to the cage. I don't believe there was any need to change it to the older longer one. Just change where it connected to the system. A ground is a ground.

Thanks like video

I just need my blower and maybe capacitor changed every time someone comes out they say need new unit never had an issue with regular updates on it might just do it my self

Thank you for the video! Question for you: we have a boiler for heating our house and what appears to be the old furnace and ducts- we have a fan that runs with an air filter as part of the old furnace system and the last several months it’s been kicking on and off at odd intervals and not running the correct amount of time. Any idea what might need to be fixed?

Great video! You are a straight shooter! Question, when I spin the wheel it warbles, do you think i can get away with just chaning out the wheel? The reason i am in here is that its 1) squeaking a bit and 2) out of balance. Wondering if its a bearing, motor or just the wheel. Appreciate the advice if you can spare any!

Can you ground it on the housing blower motor

Thank you for posting great content. I need some advice if you don't mind... I replaced a blower motor and cap on a wood furnace for a elderly couple from church as a favor. When I realized the motor was rotating the wrong direction, I swapped wires after disconnecting power. The motor popped and sparked when I reconnected power. Should I have turned the thermostat down before reconnection power out did I do something else wrong or what? The motor was running smooth in the one direction and all I did was swap the wires (the ones for bidirectional motor) and no worky. Will I have any issues returning the motor for a new one? Thank you for your time! Chris

Is it possible for my blower motor to not have a compositor? I’ve looked everywhere on this motor and I don’t see one. AC unit outside works properly but this blower motor fan is not spinning just humming

Thanks for taking time to post this. I need to swap the fan motor on a 50 year old Carrier furnace, you have any idea where I might be able to find a motor for a blower that old? Like maybe a parts place that specializes in old stuff like that?

Are all the blower motors the same?

See you in Belize. 😄

02:28 you didnt short out the capacator first before pulling the wires.. playin with fire! ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS short out the capacator before you touch it, use a screwdriver and cross the terminals to drain it

Hello sir how are you? My furnace have the same problem 😒 where I can find the motor? Please let me know . Thank you Have a great day.

Where did you get motor?

I have the same unit, I connected the common wire just like you did but not getting any power, and I connected to the black terminal and started running, so is it OK too leave it on the third terminal with the black wire?

Enducer motor not working but my furnace is over 40 yrs old, do I need to change my whole furnace system?

how do I identify the Part number in order to order?

How much would a hvac person charged for this, seem like i might be getting screwed

Hope you move to Belize

Commenting so you can go to Belize.

Always put the connector in the crimper first then put the wire in it, fyi

How much did the blower motor cost

I am so jealous because you do not have my furnace Carrier 376CAV060096 from hell (which is installed around 1988.) The reasons are: 1) Your carrier does not have a "stupid" tube or vent pipe installed horizontally blocking me accessing to the furnace fan motor housing. 2) After removing that stupid tube or vent pipe, yours do have another silly circuit board which is hanging on top and have lot of wires such as thermostat wiring, temperature sensor wiring ... connected to it which is blocking me again. 3) After the circuit board, I have a fan motor housing which is about 17 inch x 17 inch but I only have room of about 15 inches on the entrance front and then back against a wall on the attic. basically, he housing cannot be completely come out. I still doing research and homework on how to replace the fan motor if it stops running and my best bet I think is to loosen lock screw on top where it stands and then loosen the motor mounting and the slide out the motor as your original plan and then slide the motor back up. I have to perform all these in the attic with housing half out. By the way, my carrier is installed horizontal due to not enough head room. I think the most important is to take picture on all the wires so that it will go back to the original position but it is going to be pain due to limited space. Thank you so much for your video 👍 it really helps me a lot. 😁

What if when you check the motor the motor is seized up and hard to move? What would that mean?

You never discharged the capacitor before playing with it

your video made it so easy to replace furnace blower motor. For quality Utica-Dunkirk furnace blower motor spare parts, visit our site.

Omg I did it the hard way 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

No offense but why don’t you have a meter to test the capacitor and amp draw of the motor. All I see is just guessing and changing a bunch of parts that have not possibly failed. HVAC tech here by trade. Invest in a meter it it’s the number one tool in troubleshooting or your going in blind. And it will save you a ton of time
