Yes spun the fan with furnace on off. For 30 seconds. Turned switch on. Went upstairs turned thermostat up. Furnace fired up :) Thankyou 😊

[@Myksgarage]

Awesome! I'm glad this worked for you !

[@rickysand1900]

Even while my induction motor is still working on my 10 year old American Standard furnace, I am replacing it. A heating/refrigerator tech suggested I replace it. Quoted me $1397 plus tax and trip charge. Seeing that amount, I ordered my own online. Same brand too as the original (Fasco). I will be installing it soon. He also suggested I change my temperature sensor. Quoted me a price for the sensor and installation of $201. I ordered one online for $6.97 with free shipping. That piece I did install several days ago. Works great. A 5 minute job. There is a moral to this story. 😂

Thanks for sharing

[@jazziez6467]

i put one on after it was howling so obviously shot after 27 years on my rheem, i bought it on ebay for $250 and 4 bolts to put it on, the repair guy that did a tune up told me it was shot ( i knew it but got the $59 tune up to make sure) and he wanted $800 for it in 2019, furnace still is all original except inducer and hose for pressure switch

[@tejave0ojnc]

OMG.. this worked and saved me several hundreds of dollars in not having to call the HVAC guy.. Can't thank you enough!

[@Myksgarage]

Glad it helped!!

[@andrsco]

this is the best video ever. just came across it and saved me from calling hvac. and my family will be warm tonight.

[@Myksgarage]

Awesome!!

[@esicard]

Thanks for this video! My furnace wouldn't start and it wasn't the flame sensor or the igniter. I was about to call the HVAC guy when I came across your video. I gave the fan a few twists and it started right up! Thanks for saving me a few hundred bucks!

[@Myksgarage]

Glad this worked for you!

[@louann5545]

Thank you thank you THANK YOU!. I just changed my capacitor because I was told by several videos that was my problem due to the humming sound and the furnace not turning on. So I changed it, didn't work and was on my way to order a new motor until I stumbled across your video and did this trick...now my furnace is working again! Thank you!

[@Myksgarage]

Nice to hear!!

[@GreyEagle3]

Unbelievable it actually worked. Out of all the videos I seen I said no way this is gonna work. Thank you ‼️

Nice to hear

[@lesliethomas6229]

Oh my goodness, time stamp 2:32 just saved me a boatload of money!!!!! You said to turn that fan. Every year you have to turn the fan to get the heat started again. I just tried it and IT WORKED!!!!!! It was in the 40's in my house this morning. So cold I didn't want to get out of bed. As I watched the temperature drop this evening I started to panic. A couple of spins and the furnace started right up. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WISDOM.

[@Myksgarage]

I'm glad this worked for you!!

[@joedirt3445]

Thank you thank you…Just saved me at least 100 bucks…This was the problem…I oiled the bearings and is running smoothly 👍

Unbelievable! It worked. Your video (the seventh I watched) suggestion worked like a charm. Thank you.

[@Myksgarage]

Nice!!

[@donaldbaker6961]

I can not even begin to thank you 😊 you saved the day for me my step dad turned the heat on and nothing I looked and looked I saw the black end of the fan I originally tried to turn it and it didn’t move so I thought it was a cover but after seeing your video I gave it a little harder of a twist it got spinning and back in business thank you so so much 😊

[@Myksgarage]

Awesome, glad this worked

[@lloydmacaya3311]

This was a lifesaver, worked after a couple attempts. There was something blocking the fan in my case and could hear loud clinking with either a screw or some piece hitting the fan continuously. It stopped the fan in first attempt. Second attempt i guess it went through after a minute... Many thanks!

[@Myksgarage]

Glad this worked for you!!

[@lloydmacaya3311]

​@@Myksgaragewhat exactly is this fan called? Just curious

[@raylidell3613]

@@lloydmacaya3311 its called an inducer motor. If the system does not sense that the unit can vent unburned gasses it will not fire up

[@mengung2028]

I had same problem two year ago. I used W-40 spray front and back wheel and turn back and forth few times and than turn heat on. after running about half to an hour. turn off switch and do it again few times. Now my furnace runs like brand new. At that time, I had ordered new blower thought that blower no good, but I end up that I don't have to replace it.

[@Myksgarage]

That's a good tip, thanks for sharing!

[@jeffpacetti5800]

How can you determine which type of flame sensor or igniter you need? Just search for your unit model I’m guessing? Smart to have spares!

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah perhaps there is a part number on your existing ones?

[@thomas9469]

Bro Thanks for doing the video. I had this problem. Thanks from chicago. My fan was inside the grill. I had to use a screw driver to move the fan.

Glad it worked for you!

Worked! Saved me some dough, thank you

[@Myksgarage]

Nice!!

[@margaretschwartzentruber3154]

Good video. I noticed your stored buckets of grain. They shouldn't be stored near the furnace. Too warm. Dependingon the moisture content, you could get some condensation which can lead to mould and mycotoxins. . Relocate to cool and dry.

[@Myksgarage]

Good tips thanks

Really interesting. Surprised that some silicone lubricant spray wouldn't help prevent the problem. Thanks.

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah I'm not sure exactly where I would spray it

[@lisax1812]

My new HVAC would not start for the first time we turned it on. And may I ask what the on/off switch just above the fan is?

[@Myksgarage]

I think it turns the power off

I noticed the plastic rotation know had snapped off. I couldn't place it back on but when i rotated the metal it worked for a while. Can the knob be replaced or glued back on

[@Myksgarage]

I'm not sure if it can. You can replace the that fan assembly if needed

Hey man it worked🎉🎉! You saved me a LOT of money😅. I appreciate it thank you.

[@Myksgarage]

I hope it works for you!

[@AmericanFarmerHVAC2024]

This is typically only a temporary fix. Some motors might last forever this way, others might make it for a day. The bearings are what keeps seizing up. You ought to check if you have parts warranty on your unit and get the motor replaced. This model furnace actually has an upgraded replacement inducer motor replacement for this exact problem.

[@Myksgarage]

Good info, thanks

[@heatherkohan9869]

I'm not sure what is going on with my furnace it comes on but hardly any heat and it makes noises any idea what it could be?

[@Myksgarage]

I'm not sure what that could be

[@jazziez6467]

just wondering about the fresh air pipe just coming down without a narrowing area off to the side of the inner furnace, also the other exhause seems like it should go thru some smaller black pipes with the water tubes close by, the pipe is blocking the inducer motor and would be hard to replace without taking the pipes off, my inducer is sealed and i don't have anything to spin.

[@Myksgarage]

Yeah other brands may not be as easy to spin

[@eligebrown8998]

I have an old house. I have a furnace that is barely a year old and the temp is 7 dagrees outside but my house won't warm up. I have windows covered, but the house won't warm over 50. My bill is almost 300 bucks this year. Any ideas.

[@Myksgarage]

does the induction fan turn on at all?

[@jeffpacetti5800]

I’m wondering if all of your walls are insulated. On an old house, they may not be. You would also want to look at the insulation in your ceiling and under the floor.

[@Saito232005]

What does it mean if the black circular piece is spinning, the heater cones on, it just doesn't supply heat out of the furnace. There is also 3 flashes of red light on the circuit board

[@Myksgarage]

Not sure what that could be.

[@Jafiveon]

Your manual will tell you what the flashes mean. Or there may be a list of fault codes inside one of the panels. The code will vary by brand. Most common diy issue is your flame sensor is dirty. Remove it and clean it off with a dollar bill or other slightly abrasive substance. Make sure your filter is clean. Dirty filters can cause overheating. If you have pressure switches with tubing make sure the tunes don't have water stuck in them. If you have a glowing ignitor make sure it glows during startup. If it does and then drops out before a click or ignition you may have a bad gas valve and need to call a pro.
