@@alexthehandyman3494 I was quoted a new brush Motor + installation but using your video I tracked the issue to a faulty relay which was $15 off amazon to replace

I’m dealing with having to replace this relic right now along with my 20 year old AC condenser. Same set up, no heating just AC. l’m getting quotes of $4k-$6 for the condenser plus another $$3k-$6k to change out the ceiling mounted fan coil. So far two quotes are $9.3k and $10k. Absolute insanity, I had no clue how much this type of set up costs. If you have this definitely keep up the maintenance because you’re on borrowed time and it’s gonna be a fortune to replace.

Thank you

[@js887744]

how do you clean/maintain the drain hose on these units? I'm in a condo. I have no idea where it comes out of the condo building!

[@AnkitSaini-wy1pd]

Hey Alex, i have the same unit. I live in Arlington and would greatly appreciate if you clean the coils and fix the air flow issue..Thank you sir!!

[@thebestandyyang]

do you not find the amount of rust too much and warrant a baffle and drain pan replacement?

[@princezay3608]

Do they sell the rubber bushings that hold the motor shift in place if so where can I find it I have a motor and one of the scroll cages are scraping due to the shaft not being aligned because of the bushings

[@alexthehandyman3494]

Hello, Yes they still sell parts for these units. Go to Firstco.com . Go to products. find your unit . then go to parts.

[@subliminal128]

I have a similar model. Any idea on why I only get heat to blow out when its on AC?

[@alexthehandyman3494]

Hello, it could be 10 different things. 1 low refrigerant or nothing at all, maybe a leak. 2 check condenser. It might not be working due to a bad capacitor or contactor. 3 Make sure is calling for cool.

[@aundrecook5462]

Good video brotha

[@Im-Kira]

Mine is exactly like that. The fan is blowing but for some reason, I'm not getting any airflow through the ducts. All the connections are good. I have no idea what to do. In trying to clean the coils. I had to replace the capacitor and transformer outside already on the AC condenser unit. That seems to be working. But without any airflow into the ducts, it just trips the high-limit switch and shuts off. I really need some help. Any suggestions would be nice.

[@alexthehandyman3494]

Hello , Make sure condenser is clean.\ Replace the filter The fan motor might be working but the squirrel cages(2) might be broken. Remove the cover and and see if they are in good shape. See if the ducts are kinked or disconnected. good luck . Keep me posted.

[@AnkitSaini-wy1pd]

mine too...very reduced air flow
