Your technique of holding the motor shaft and wriggling the fan off is amazing.

I can't believe I needed to see someone use a wrench to capture the post to get the blades off. But I did. And that saved me the cost of a puller or new blades. So thanks man!

I’m glad I’m not the only guy that puts them in and has a rotation issue🤣🤣, 38 yrs at it you would think I’d have it perfect. Nice job. Good approach to motor diagnosis, DON’ T over complicate a simple thing👍

It was spinning clockwise the first time so its wrong?

Honestly I’ve never really taken the time to read everything on that tag that comes with an after market motor. That was definitely a very helpful bit of knowledge I just learned by hearing you read that out, the clockwise shaft end and counter clockwise lead and. If I heard you correctly LOL. My dumb ass usually just starts the unit and it will change the rotation according to how the blade is spinning.

Yes, on that label it says “wiring shown is for CW, or CCW rotation lead end.” But, even with that I got it wrong.

How close to the motor should that fan be? I was told to push it all the way to the top.

Great vid but how'd you get those short wires with the wire nuts through the access out of the condensing section?

@HVACGUY 3 жыл бұрын

They were too short out of the box to pull them in the control panel

@jamesvojir8988 3 жыл бұрын

Yea I never understood why the generic motors make em so short. Just a few inches more would make all the difference... "that's what she said". 😁

@techfive7202 3 жыл бұрын

What driver you using that has a depth like that for those long screws to mount the motor? I'm guessing 9mm but what kind that works with that depth

@franciscallahan4213 2 жыл бұрын

So my ac buzzes when it comes on but the fan doesn't spin. When I spin it with a stick it starts to spin and stays on. Does this mean my fan motor needs replacing? Trying to do this myself. I appreciate your help!!

@mrfloodsparty 2 жыл бұрын

Most likely your capacitor is bad. In fact, that's a trick some do use to check for a weak but functioning capacitor, so that they don't condemn the fan motor. If you can spin it yourself and it continues under its own power, change the capacitor.

How did you have it the wrong way? I did not understand that part. Did you put the blades the wrong way? The motor only turns in one direction right?

Why did you split white and brown and white wire together? On other video they don’t use brown and white wire?

@HVACGUY 2 жыл бұрын

a capacitor is always between start and run. that white strip identifies it as run. so, all those wires are run - same thing.

The way I did it is one way to convert to three wire. You can also cap the brown with a white stripe. That’s just the way I normally do it.
