I've had this same exact call today! The filters were long overdue and control board board relay was tapped out! 2.3VAC on from common to cool taps unplugged. . Jumped motor direct from control board to cool fan terminal blue and blower fan! Replaced board under warranty! Great video my boy! 💪🏾

[@markharris9647]

Can you help me with the 608

[@nealmanbasslicker]

Don't know if you caught it, but when you were testing the low voltage and put the wires back on the terminals, you reversed the cool and the common wires. The cool was black and you put it back on common. Heh heh heh... Just busting your chops. Simple mistake. You're really doing great out there big guy. Keep on being you!

[@TaddyDigest]

lol 😆 🤣 😂 crap I can't do one thing wrong Thank You for catching that I

You put the green wire on the cool and you put the black wire on the common when you first started. The green wire was on common and the black wire was on cool just make sure that’s OK. I just noticed it when you were doing this video. Thanks for the video. It was very helpful.

[@Jaylenn.]

Question if check the motor and didn’t get proper voltage would I go to the transformer and check there. And if I’m not getting power there I would have to change the transformer?

[@cashonlyj3469]

I thought I heard someone in my attic it was the A/C guy 😁

[@davidnunez7889]

Thanks for the video very informative like the way you troubleshoot. I see your channel growing with these kind of videos. You have a gift for teaching that video made so much sense

[@TaddyDigest]

Thank you so much brother

[@gerardoteliz6694]

Awesome video! Quick question. On the new motor, why did you put the grey speed wire on the spare terminal? Wasn’t it suppose to go on the cool terminal for high speed or did you just wanted to lower the speed to the blower motor when calling for cooling?

[@TaddyDigest]

Hey Gerardo I wanted to change the speed I'm glad you caught that Have a great day

[@BaljinderSingh-pn1mm]

I subscribed your channel sir I appreciates your work

[@irandukundaesperance1996]

How much would you charge for that service?

[@tomn4838]

It looks like a new motor was replaced with a newer motor. 🫡🇺🇸

[@abeltaura4894]

How do you like the elitech gauges

[@eddiegomez3628]

what kind of gauges are those? And are they reliable, or are you testing them out, or what?

[@eddiegomez3628]

Nevermind I found a video of yours doing a review on them.

[@toupsclassroomtoupsclassro9557]

quick thinking on the wires I will have to watch a few times :)

Those dastardly motor ECM's.

[@juancortes9203]

Thank you for your help buddy. God bless you.

[@korvoterry1520]

Why is there voltage on the board spades itself, I thought the 120V and 24V are coming through the wires that you removed? Apologies if that is a stupid question. Thanks for all the helpful videos!

[@korvoterry1520]

I think I'm getting confused because on an ECM motor you can check L and N on the plug to see if the motor is receiving high voltage and the speed taps for 24v through the wires that plug into the motor

[@samgonzalez1447]

@@korvoterry1520yes the proper voltage was good on both motor and board so I was a little confused

[@samgonzalez1447]

Why would you say that the motor is bad when it reads 121 volts to the motor which is proper voltage reading? Please explain

[@westlake3737]

@@samgonzalez1447even though you have 120 volts coming from the board,the motor is still not coming on.Those ECM motors are horrible and expensive.

[@kevinpearce3281]

So is there basically 3 different types of motors then. PSC, ECM and what ever that one was?

[@TaddyDigest]

P s c And e c m. And. Variable speed

What a nice attic to work in.

[@Michael-wy7om]

I was told yesterday from a service tech that my motherboard and motor need replacement, just over 4k ! Is that something that happens that both go out sometimes together? I’m probably going to go with a new system because of this since my Trane unit is 13years old and not worth it to put that kind of money into.

[@Misiracaltudamecekas-qw8xo]

It happand to me the first time I had an trouble with EMC motor. Motor is expensive but if you see this video you can replace yourself a small part inside inrush current capacitetor which served the purpose of fuse needs to be replace /solder back to board parts inside the upper part ( 2 dollars part rather than 1500-2000 complete furnice/aircondition motor kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHWueWSQhLZ-qpo

[@ortebarajas9061]

How much was that particular fan replacement, fan $ + Install fee $ ,, thanks

[@TaddyDigest]

Check out my video titled how much to charge customer for parts.

[@juancervantes8932]

Could swapping the speeds help kick start the blower? My blower doesn’t work it just gives a 1/4 turn then turns off. Heater, ac, fan all do the same. Everything turns on with the exception of the blower. It does not have a capacitor as it’s a variable speed

[@TaddyDigest]

Check the capacity. Make sure it's working correctly check and make sure the blower wheel is not stuck on the housing.

[@juancervantes8932]

@@TaddyDigest the blower wheel is not stuck, it just semi kicks in and then shuts down

[@juancervantes8932]

Do you recommend any control boards from Amazon if so could you send link?

[@samgonzalez1447]

I thought if your getting the 120 volts going to fan motor that it would mean it good? Your said you have to replace fan motor? I am confused Can you explain it? Thanks and great job though to find the wires to test it.

[@samgonzalez1447]

Can you please explain it?

[@TaddyDigest]

yes if the motor has voltage and its not running that means it's bad

[@samgonzalez1447]

Why didn't you clean all the dirt out while you are in there...That would have to be a restriction of the air flow....
