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

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?
@acservicetechchannel5 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?

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
@nothankyou55246 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?

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

Great Question! The multimeter is a quick service tool that would show some type of resistance if it was grounded even a little.

@hjc46045 жыл бұрын
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.

It’s like car problems. Most folks now a days don’t know how to do basic maintenance. Of course, they tease me about my lack of computer skills😁

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

My blower is free and rotates fines. But when the capacitor kicks on, the blower seizes up. Why?

Bushing problem or no more grease. Need a new motor.

My blower motor is stuck on low speed how do I fix this.
@davenone73124 жыл бұрын
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.

Getting buzzing noise like motor doesn't want to start, then sometimes it will start and work for maybe about 10 mins then blower mower shuts off

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

It's fine been doing it for 25 years. Those gadgets are a waste of money and tool bag space imho
