Easy Coleman Mach 8 AC Blower Fan Replacement (Squirrel Cage)

[@corey260]

Your video came to the rescue again for me. I’m sitting here at the Grand Canyon, when I hear this awful noise from the A/C. Turned out my squirrel cage broke in half-dozen pieces. I watched this video months ago and ordered an extra cage to keep in the 33AA. I re-watched your video today and headed up to the roof. All fixed in a short time Thanks again for the instructions!

[@ChasingtheDreamRV]

Glad our video had you prepared. Don't forget to order another to have on board. Gotta have that back-up in the wing. Thanks for watching...we really appreciate you!!

Good job Randy. Particular shout out to your assistant turning on the unit to test...saves steps!

[@OhRonaldo]

Nice video. Well done. Clear, concise, straight forward. ❤️

[@ChasingtheDreamRV]

Glad it's helpful. 😎

Thanks for the tutorial! We're adding one to our spare parts box! And making sure we have the t25, too! Safe and happy travels... 6 months to go to full time. Hope we run into each other on the road, too! Brenda & Lena

[@ChasingtheDreamRV]

6 months will fly by!! So exciting!! We'll have to compare routes once you do hit the road ✌🙌💕

Hey Randy, we found a "suitable substitute" at Grainger. A bit smaller wheel but fits and runs like a champ! Part #4GMG2

[@ChasingtheDreamRV]

Thanks for the info...we'll check it out and add it to our Chasing the Dream RV website Amazon parts list. 😉

And now I will know how to fix it when I get one.

[@ChasingtheDreamRV]

Glad we could help ya out 😁

Did you install a soft start on your AC ?

[@ChasingtheDreamRV]

@@TomUmberger-fx5gw no I did not, there is conflicting info that says they may actually cause your unit to fail prematurely

[@rgcalkins]

Thank you. Thanks for the guidance.

[@ChasingtheDreamRV]

Glad it was helpful!

Randy, where'd you get the aluminum squirrel cage?

[@ChasingtheDreamRV]

Still haven't scored an aluminum squirrel cage. We are looking into another possibility but it may be a little before it amounts to anything. Here's the link to the regular replacement in case you need it... Coleman 1472A1191 Wheel Package Blower: amzn.to/3w23yIE 👍✌

Hey Randy...thanks for your video....Did you end up install the aluminum wheel on your Mach 8 AC unit?? I just had a plastic wheel fail and looking to replace with aluminum. Will it last longer than the plastic? I would think so. Question....the measurements for the aluminum wheel is smaller than the plastic.....does that matter and would if effect the efficiency of the AC Unit??

[@ChasingtheDreamRV]

I’m still using plastic, have heard mixed reviews about the aluminum wheel drawing slightly more amperage with a bit less airflow, so I’ve been sticking with plastic for now until I can research more 👍🏻

[@shoerock1]

@@ChasingtheDreamRV OK...thanks for the feed back. after watching your video I was able to find them at Grainger but it a little smaller than the plastic wheel and the airflow was less. I am going to return them and get the plastic ones and just keep them as clean as possible and hope it doesnt break every 3 months like in your case.

It’s hard to see AC when you stand in the sun and it’s in the shade.

[@ChasingtheDreamRV]

Just doing what we can to share our experiences with others. Thanks for watching though ✌️🙌💕

[@DRIFTIN.]

All the dirt will cause a vibration

[@ChasingtheDreamRV]

Yes it will 😉

[@markromero930]

I just lost one this morning running heat. I’ve been fairly lucky. Owned my Tiffin Bus for 6 years now and each of my 3 ACs have now lost a squirrel cage. Knock on wood.

[@ChasingtheDreamRV]

That's why we carry a spare...ya never know when you're going to need it.🙄
