Blower Wasn’t Getting Any Power

In this video I found a blower that wasn’t running, turns out the control board wasn’t passing voltage the blower. #hvac #hvactechnician #hvacguy #hvaclife #hvaclife #fieldpiece

Nice little trick ... Relays are very dependable ... Thx for sharing your knowhow ...

Man I wish I lived in your area I would love to work for ya man you seem like a great boss and one who would take care of their employees!👌🏽 keep up the good work I learn something new everyday from you.

My opinion of you sir is that you have so much knowledge that you should be a ""Master HVAC Tech"".

[@chrisdevine5328]

Can you do a short on how you did that exactly would love to learn

[@TheFoxygrandpa69]

God damn i jumped too lol

[@aimftw]

Literally top notch videos man I've learned so much from watching your channel over the past few months. Been in the trade about 5 years and I would like to start doing some day to day videos as you are. What sort of video equipment do you use if I may ask. I can't seem to get any gear that allows me to work and let the viewers see what I'm looking at. Any recommendations on camera/go pro equipment would be greatly appreciated thanks again for your videos you're a gem and a great technician.

[@HVACGUY]

I use a GoPro, and just a couple of mounts, obviously the chesty. Do all my editing on an iPad

[@aimftw]

@@HVACGUY Okay beautiful chest mount is key then!! Ill be doing all of mine on a pc but should be easy. Thanks a million ill look up those chest mount options they have :)

[@mikedillon6233]

I think I enjoy your videos so much because you can see all the years of experience, and the surprises you get too, lol! But you can tell that you understand it intimately because you can change to a standard relay And the system still functions correctly . I believe that's the difference between a mechanic, and a parts replacer ! Really good job!

[@jthonn]

Man what a great idea, much easier than changing that board. Makes you wonder why they didn't have it set up like that in the first place.

[@chris76-01]

Planned obsolescence

[@jthonn]

@@chris76-01 indeed!

[@SETX_Sirens_and_Rail_02]

They want the blower to have a delay on break after a call for cooling.

[@moonlightacmaintenance3232]

Explain delay on break ? So a relay and a time delay and you basically have that board ?

[@SETX_Sirens_and_Rail_02]

@@moonlightacmaintenance3232 Basically so the blower can stay on for around a minute or so after the call for cooling ends so the remaining cooling can be purged from the coil.

[@deepcreek2269]

That repair is good for a temporary fix, but should be replaced with the OEM part, since it has the on/off delay timing functions integrated. Thanks for sharing!

[@jthonn]

I hear ya, but personally, I don't care for the delay function.

[@hinspect]

Those relays are bulletproof compared to that PC board I don't see a need for delay in that application in my opinion.

[@jthonn]

@@hinspect I concur

[@jonathansorise8797]

Buy a thermostat that has programming for that. It will last a lot longer.

[@godz1llaki11azzzz3]

[@bryansimon4072]

Like the fix. I work on a lot of Goodman’s, carry a couple of blower boards. Those things suck!

[@lancelawrence3259]

Nice work

[@sergiodjf]

Good solution for such a simple board! I'd prefer an off-delay relay to keep the blower running for a little while after the heater shuts off.

[@thesilentonevictor]

Great job on this one 👌

[@redxraider0613]

I have replaced many of those Goodman air handler boards.

[@davidjohnson1304]

Could you do a schematic drawing for that that would be really great

[@davidca96]

just goes to show a lot of systems with boards dont even need the board and can be ran using much simpler and sturdy parts to last longer.

[@graymodeler]

Chrysler Fiat went to a Tipm fuse block with the fuel pump relay soldered on. A common fix is an external relay similar to what you did.

[@donreinholz8121]

Have you ever thought of hanging a repair tag on every job so the next guy or yourself will know exactly what was done by the previous tech?

[@Silky_boi]

I’m more shocked that they’d put a blower in a bathroom, I’m sure if someone takes a brutal dump the whole house stinks quick 💩 🤢

[@JohnstonPettigrew]

oh yeah!! 💩💩☢️

[@jayfowler4747]

Hang on you just said the heat strips are connected to nc which means they can energizer when the fan isn't running?

[@HVACGUY]

If there’s just a call on W, when the sequencer pulls in it will also start the blower

[@jayfowler4747]

So its a dusl speed motor? You will have to forgive my ignorance with G's W's and Y's I'm in the UK where we see non of this type of stuff. Also is the relay special as the number matches a board you mentioned??

[@vasileiosbakas9754]

@@myHVAClife Quick question sir. So when u said the back jumper of the sequencer, do you mean the constant power of the the heating element tab on the sequencer or something else? what if u have more than 2 elements, would it work with this relay? Thanks

Nice job 👍

If you don’t mind, can you tell me what app you use to edit your videos

[@lonniebearden9907]

Hate those Goodman fan boards always replace with a 90-340 at least it wasn't back feeding the heaters

[@dong4617]

That was a lot easier than an ECM controls.

[@khuongvtube]

I wouldn't use that relay as a permanent fix, you lose 1 min of cooling/heating every cycle, that's about 10% assuming 10-15 mins per cycle. And if the air handler is in attic, it will blow hot air into the house before the coil get cold.

[@biblebloopers946]

Hey Curtis, out of curiosity, why wasn't high speed used for the blower for cooling mode? Thanks

[@judsonterry6644]

Because he is in the south east and high speed doesn't pull out the moisture good enough.

[@biblebloopers946]

@@judsonterry6644 oh, interesting

[@mrgreen9086]

Does the blower shut off immediately? Shouldn't it still run for a little while before it cuts off thanks for sharing.

[@judsonterry6644]

No the motor cuts off as soon as the outside when it's in cool. It only does the delay on the heat until the last strip turns off and stops immediately.

[@mrgreen9086]

@@judsonterry6644 that makes sense thanks I'll have to try this next time

[@hugogarcia7574]

Relays are more reliable than control boards. Just an opinion

[@joehead1294]

Surprised you didn't check incoming power straight away. That's the gospel, ya know. Board have a blower delay on shut-down?

[@socialz2000]

Why not just replace the board? Why Rig it?

[@timestealr2967]

One comment; you shouldn't be poking/pointing around live wiring with your finger! You could be sending the wrong message to those less-seasoned that it's okay to do that when in fact it's extremely dangerous! An insulated screwdriver would've been much safer and can show more of what you're pointing at without your hand getting in the way or an unexpected jolt that will end your career on the spot⚡⚡. Great work, but Safety First and always!

unless you're dressed up in linesman protective gear, plan on getting shocked(more than once) working in any trade that has electrical involved, which includes the majority of all mechanical things. it's not a matter of if you'll get shocked, it's when and how bad, guaranteed it will happen and more than once in your career.
