Man you have saved me so many $$$. I have done my TXV, cleaned my evap, gotten my airflow straight. I have my scales, tanks, scales and portable recovery unit for my home 410a unit. I was a Rail and Bus R22 guy when I retired in 2010. By 2014 I was working on 134a in a second retirement govt fleet shop. My schraders on my own 410a unit started leaking in 2015. I am in Tampa where HVAC residential work is way overpriced and nearly every tech tries to sell units. The cheapest company in 2015 wanted $1136 to replace the valves including refrigerant which 410a was $135 for 25lbs. then. I bought my Robinaire scale, pump, recovery unit and a leak detector along with 25lbs then. I learned subcool and superheat in a day from you Chris.

You opened line set so you also pulled a vacuum below 500 microns and purged nitrogen while brazing? So you bought a vacuum pump, micron gage, Brazing rods torches, hoses, charging hoses, charging T or Y fitting, scale, nitrogen, acetylene, oxygen, recovery tank, filter drier, TXV for your specific unit and the refrigerant in order to save a couple hundred bucks? I admire your ambition but your math is flawed. Careful not being licensed to handle refrigerant too the EPA will pay regular citizens $10,000 reward to turn people like yourself in imagine what fines and sentencing they would put onto you. I'm not being a smart ass nor care what you're doing to your own unit I'm just being honest with you look for yourself if you'd like

Should there be continuity "OL" reading between each of the speed wires? This is the one thing you dd not test for.

My blower motor hummed but never turned. When the breaker was switched off I could turn the motor by hand. I bought a new capacitor and it worked great for a few days then went back to the same symptoms. I did what you showed - removed wires from capacitor, shorted it out, and did a voltage test. Nothing. I guess I got a bad one. I read Genteq is the best so I ordered another. Should be here in two days.

Check for voltage and amperage readings on the running blower motor after the capacitor replacement. The capacitors usually don't go bad that fast but it is always possible.

I have a 120v blower motor. Confirmed - getting 120v coming in from the line (extension cord before connecting to the blower). Whenever I turn it on, I'm only getting 98v - motor won't spin. It worked fine a couple of weeks ago. I'm stumped. Excuse my ignorance, but, should the voltage drop to 98 once plugged in? Would this have something to do with the capacitor?

Ever seen a blower run and hum/ slow down? After min runs for a bit it will slow way down so you can feel any air moving. And hum loudly. And then continue to run all day because its doing nothing. It has a run, off, and fan selector on the unit. It stays on run. If i turn it to fan, it will stop humming but stay slow. I assume xause its only running on low? Checked he speeds low is like 5.9 abd high was 2.2 i believe. Any help?

Hello Craig, First for all thanks for this great video. I understood the whole process you did but only one thing. When you said that you should not get a resistance reading between common ( yellow) and the capacitor's brown/white wire and the reason being, as you said, is that they are attached inside the motor housing. 1- Does that mean the resistance reading you are getting is the winding between common and Start? 2-and if that is the case, why can't we get a reading between common and the capacitor's brown wire? Is not the brown wire attached to the Run winding which is also attached to Common?
@acservicetechchannel
@acservicetechchannel 5 жыл бұрын
I think I meant that you won't get a high resistance reading but that it should be very close to 0.0 ohms of resistance since they are connected right under the motor housing. You might enjoy another video I did on the thermal overload mounted on the windings of the blower motor. Just look up "acservicetech thermal overload" thanks!

You test the resistance between yellow and brown w. White trace is 0 ohm. But the run capacitor series with start winding then parallel with run winding. I conclude that the resistance between yellow and brown w. White trace should be the resistance of the run winding, the resistance between yellow and brown should be the resistance of the start winding. What is wrong with my conclusion? and what component will be measured between yellow and brown to get 20 ohm?

Just so im not mistaking your point ....since the yellow wire and the brown/white wire are attached this would make the yellow wire the RUN winding....and by default the Black, Blue, and Red wires would be considered the COMMON point/connection???

I have a question...and I’ll try to make a long story short, I replaced the control board today...thinking it was bad due to a wrongly labeled/tripped breaker, Anyway...after I figured out the breaker issue and the new control board was already installed...I fired up the AC, in the attic I heard the blower motor making noise...upon inspection it wasn’t starting, but trying. I tried to test the capacitor but my meter doesn’t appear to have the correct setting - so I swapped the capacitor with the working upstairs unit and the problem persist, capacitor works fine in the other unit. So I tested the blower power on the control board by pulling the black (cool) wire and the white common, put the meter where they went on the board and made sure power was on and the door switch taped - I seem to be getting 0 volts. Thermostat was set to cool/fan ON - not Auto, I’m wondering if maybe I’m doing something wrong...or if maybe it could be something else that could cause the problem cause I just installed a brand new control board and don’t see why the blower wouldn’t be getting power as there aren’t any status LED’s alerting me of a problem. I’m about to pull the blower motor out of the working unit to see if that resolves the issue...but I live in AZ and it’s pretty dang hot up there...so the less work I have to do up there the better. Also don’t want to keep throwing parts at...I’m a computer tech and mechanically inclined, so I try to do what I can before calling techs out...and I had a bad/costly experience last year with an HVAC tech...so. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

If this is a psc motor and not an ecm motor then you would be getting 120v to the blower if this was a furnace and 240v if this was an air handler. You would need to make sure that you are getting 24v to the g terminal on the board which is a call for fan before testing, thanks!

My ac was running and I began to smell and see smoke in the house, I discovered it came from the air handler blower motor. If I switched on the power the motor would slowly turn for a minute and then stop. I purchased a new motor and cap and installed and immediately upon turning on the breaker the motor caught on fire. Could it be the relay or transformer? Also the only thing that I know that I may have done wrong is that the new motor had a white and black common wire, I only used the black because the old one only had the black.

If there is a safer way to test something with the same results then I advocate testing it without power. I have never misdiagnosed a capacitor that I am aware of when testing it without power. Honestly, in my view, it is one of the simplest components to test so why complicate it or tell people to be closer to the danger of high amperage. In any multimeter testing I will always show how to test components with the least amperage running through them as possible, thanks
@nothankyou5524
@nothankyou5524 6 жыл бұрын
If you know how to use the formula and can do the calculations, it's faster to test the capacitor while running. But if the motor is going bad, but still running to some extent, you don't know what variables you are looking at. And it still doesn't tell you everything is ok inside the motor, which means you're pulling all the leads anyway.

Thanks for the video! Very informative. I bought a used motor 4 years ago and installed it in my electric furnace. It had a capacitor with it, which I used. I noticed that the capacitor is 7.5 uF, but the label on the motor calls for a 6 uF capacitor. Anyway, this motor has been working very well for three winters now. I do have a couple of questions about capacitors though. I read somewhere or saw in a video that it's okay if the capacitor is a bit larger, but it mustn't be smaller, is this correct? Also, I'm wondering if a capacitor will give any warning signs that it's going bad or does it just suddenly fail?. Is it a good idea to buy spares or do they have a shelf life?
@acservicetechchannel

It has to be the smae size as the motor is calling for in regard to uF but if the capacitor is a 440v then it can replace a 440v or a 370v, thanks

Informative video, but wouldn't it be better using a Megger to check for grounded windings ?. The low voltage produced by a Multimeter / clamp meter often won't show leakage where a megger will.

Great Question! The multimeter is a quick service tool that would show some type of resistance if it was grounded even a little. If the reading remains O.L when you know you have good connections to the leads you are good. The megger is often something that would be used in the preventative maintenance of larger equipment. A megger is good for checking insulation level of a winding. Still would be good if someone wanted to use it. Thanks!

New Honeywell RTH2410 thermostat. 4 wires. Working with Heat. Fan "On" position.....Burner comes on, and Fan operates. Fan "Auto" position........Burner comes on,,,,but Fan does not operate. After short period,,burner goes off. (Brown wire in G, Yellow wire in Y, White wire in aux/W. Red wire in R (with jumper).) Internal switch on "Gas or Oil". Honeywell said to change internal switch to "Electric". Burner and Fan come on. Both go off when temperature is reached. {temporary fix?). What can I do?

Amazing content, keep up the great work! Just wondering if you could whip up a series, teaching techs how to properly read and follow wiring diagrams from AC, HEAT PUMPS, FURNACE applications? much appreciated! Also, do you ever dissipate your cap using yoru multimeter set to volts? would that not be safer? Thanks again!

Thank you for letting me know what you would like to see! A 20,000 ohm resister could be used but I havent seen any damage occurring when they are the 80uf and smaller. You are really just taking the very last bit of power out since the capacitor discharged after the power shut off but the motor continued to free-spin except in the case of a start cap that has a relay to take it out, thanks

Wouldn't the capacitor self discharge through the motor winding. As you demonstrated the one capacitor lead was connected to the white wire and the other had 20 Ohms to the white wire. Pretty close to a dead short and certainly less than a 20 K Ohm resistor. I would think the only place you could expect a cap to be holding a charge would be is a high voltage DC circuit. Also, any remaining voltage would be DC and could be measured with a voltme set to DC Volts.

Zabi ulla thanks for your comments. After I turn the power off I check to make sure that the motor is not frozen and that the bearings are not worn and wobbling or that the wheel is not rubbing up on the side of the squirrel cage. I mentioned to check that at the beginning of the video. Thanks

Depends on how the speeds are determined. Some motors are wired to run on one speed by using one wire and not the others. It may be as simple as switching your motor wire to a faster speed. Black is usually the fastest going thru the colors to Red which is usually the slowest speed.

Doing that with a screwdriver is not safe what so ever you just need a 20k resistor and they even sell capacitor dish chargers ....... you never know when there’s a tiny crack in your insulated screwdriver
