Condenser fan turning backwards ? Myth Busted !!

[@poncedeleonrefrigeration9197]

This phenomenon is an optical illusion called Stroboscopic effect

[@emprsnm9903]

Yup. Its an interesting effect, where adjusting the camera fps/or the slight speed of the motor, can make it appear spinning forward, backwards, or even standing still. Old timey mechanics used to adjust ignition timing by it. Kids these days :)

[@commonsense3673]

But you can make them go backwards if you put the wrong motor in , CC vs CCW and how it's wired ? But in reality I have not had a issue with any motor running opposite direction of the condenser coil it's still getting fresh air , right ,?

[@daveliedholm2296]

Dan MakesSense You change direction by reversing polarity of the field winding in the motor. Right?

[@brunolamote]

Dan MakesSense it does matter but only where the dust is going to collect (personally I like my dust on the outside easy to clean) also maybe the fan blades are designed for pulling (not sure this is the case)

[@mfranzusan3014]

It's called a frame rate. Digital cameras suffer from the optical illusion of things exaggerating movement or reversing direction depending on speed. Oh well, some people never learn. Keep up the good work!

[@superfly19751]

If it’s sucking outside air thru the coil and lifts it up thru the top then it spins the right way. It should be clockwise.

[@danielgallo4598]

Thank you! I was wondering if I had put my fan on backwards. But you cleared up which way the air should be flowing.

[@dwarden3]

Your my hero! Holding a camera, commenting, and plugging in the disconnect with one hand backwards! I cannot even do it while on my knees, using both hands, and 8" away.

[@krismiles5378]

Kinda reminds us of an old western movie when the wheels on a stage coach looked like they were turning backwards. Its an optical illusion.

[@johnmeore2153]

It has to do with the shutter speed and the frames per second of the camera. A video camera works just like a regular camera, only captures images at 24, 30, 60 or 120 frames per second and plays them back at around 29 FPS. If you play with the settings on your camera, the rotation will change.

[@mikewood8527]

Great video, I'm a retired HVAC guy after 40 years, optical illusions are real, watch an old cowboy movie and it always looks like the wagon wheels are going backwards

[@ericfierro6163]

Why just say the blade installed to the unit needs to turn to the right or left that's it.

[@billkraemer3069]

Looks don't tell the whole story. Is the unit blowing up out of the top or not? If blowing out through the coils the motor is running backwards...

[@TedCookHVAC]

Watch whole video.

[@joejones2847]

Man my capacitor went out on a Sunday and I found out at 8:30 at night. It’s simple to give it a push start but my fan will rotate backward if you push it that way. I spent 4 hours trying to figure out which way it should spin. All you find is counter or clockwise varies depending on your motor. The simplest answer is air should blow out the top and suck through the coils. I’m glad I found this video

[@shadowbanned69]

Just to soften the air.... I never in any way intended to start any controversial comments or start anything negative. I was just making the observation that it LOOKED like it was running backwards. I know from plenty of years that Is can look like that from a video or a camera. Plus from your comment that the air felt like it was coming out from the sides. You have one of the best and most straight forward and professional channels I have had the pleasure of watching. I in no way ment the to start of any negatively aimed static or B.S to you. Its guys like you that inspire the rest of us to seek out a new found respect for the pro's that take the time to do the damn job right. And not to just HACK IT UP till it looks and works like shit.

[@jhhvacplumbing1944]

coolmandude1000 u r correct, those style units are notorious for blowing air out the sides.

[@MoonRambo702]

Question for you.. why do they do that? I’m working on a few of these. The ones that have universal replacement motors shoot out the sides and the oems shoot straight up. The only thing I can see is the replacement motors are taller, even with the blades as close to the motor as they can be, still sits about an inch lower . Is it fan blade placement or something else?

[@harrydejesus2975]

The fan blade is turning the right way. I enjoy all your videos.

[@Moorgoth67]

I encountered into a Goodman unit today fan running backwards. Purple and brown wires were wired as depicted in the ladder diagram. I pulled the disconnect, reversed the purple and brown wires and then it pulled air through the sides and out the top correctly. Wires are obviously reversed in the motor from the factory. Power on the building isn't out of phase, compressor is running in the correct direction. Ordered a new warranty motor so some other tech doesn't come along correct the wiring on the flux Capacitor and send it back in time.

[@etherealrose2139]

You sure someone didn't change out the fan and put the blades on backwards? Did you ohm out the windings to verify brown was start and purple run?

[@randumdude5824]

I don’t know anything about hvac operation but I would like understand why the fan isn’t made to push the air from the top down through the condenser, I’m thinkin the condenser would stay cleaner. And be easier to clean assuming it’s not mounted under trees.

[@klimasscheffog3033]

I too seen the video effect on the blades. To an untrained eye, IE youth at home that don't know how video can make the blade appear to be running the wrong way. They should ask is it running backwards, but unfortunately they start talking trash which is easy when you aren't face to face. Keep sharing your great content.

Hi I have a fan on my condenser on my ac that does run backwards . If I set it for 72 it runs and cools but when it shuts off and restarts it does turn backwards . Until I manually shut it down and restart it with the thermostat inside the house then it runs the right direction until it repeats itself again . I have changed the capacitor and tried reversing the direction wires . Any idea how to fix the problem . I’d call you for it but I am in NY

[@dougools8720]

In my 32 years of HVAC I have seen this before. Most units I've seen this on are a carrier product. The fan blades pitch had changed from my experience and could need replaced if discharging mostly through the side of fan grill. This happened to my personal unit I also thought mine was running backwards at first .

[@throttlebottle5906]

dirty coil/low air flow and the way the top is curved will make the air flow odd like that. the motor being replaced and blade put back at wrong depth too and as you said, blade not right anymore.

I've been doing commercial refrigeration for years, I've got my own business now, definitely seen plenty. I have heard of techs (self reporting) single phase motors running backwards. I've never seen this and electrically speaking I don't even see how it's possible outside of rewiring the windings inside. Switching both the 120v legs on a contactor does not reverse the direction. I've heard people claim this can be achieved by mis-wiring the capacitor, but the wires to the cap are the same wire. Can't really mess that up...

I'm late to this video... but... Lots of comment in here that call people "idiots". YES if all they do is look at a video and determine "just by looking" that the fan is "apparently" running backwards, then they could use a reality check like "stop/start the fan", or "test the air flow direction". Fact is, that if the startup capacitor of the motor is defective, that fan CAN and WILL randomly start in the wrong direction, and suck air in from the top, instead of discharging it. So don't be fooled by the video optical illusion, but also don't be fooled by someone saying that the fan can NEVER run backwards. That wouldn't make you an IDIOT anyway, perhaps just inexperienced on this particular issue. Otherwise, we'd *ALL* be called idiots on issues that we are less familiar with. BE NICE!
