HOW TO TEST DAIKIN FAN MOTOR.

HVAC ⎸ HVACR ⎸ REFRIGERATION ⎸ AIR CONDITIONING ⎸ AIR CONDITIONER VIDEOS.
In this video I show you how I test a daikin fan motor.

Thanks Mitch for the video. I'm from Spain and there are many Daikin teams around here.

[@terryharmsworth4663]

Alright mitch, it's people like you that make us the inexperienced, experienced ,top man

[@superunknown8775]

Thanks for the great video Mitch, again. I've not touched Daikin for a little while, but having this video to refer to will help loads as we are a Daikin service partner. You never know when we could get that fault on a call out! Your Daikin related videos keep me as fresh as I can be 👍🏻haha Have a great weekend mate 🤜🏻🤛🏻 Mick

[@maracservices]

Thanks Mick! I appreciate the support mate. I’m definitely no expert, just trying to help out my fellow Air Conditioning techs around the world! 👊🏼

[@markyoung5521]

Thanks Mitch, I have two fan motors and one is definitely stuffed

[@maracservices]

Cool, I hope this helped

[@jrh86]

Brilliant Mitch thanks for this.

[@SuperNelson005]

Thanks I was struggling with one today This info was just what I needed today 🙏

[@chrischurch4558]

Leave the wires in the connector , purchase smaller probes

[@adskibadski6990]

Hey mate, But some needle point multimeter leads from eBay. I have a couple of sets for this, no need to remove the terminals from the plug

[@jaymz0074]

Awesome video

[@musakavalci9470]

Top notch content 👌🏻

[@maracservices]

Thanks mate!

[@alexibonnet2634]

That you for the great info

[@maracservices]

No worries, I hope it helps!

[@fareezizwar155]

thank, great video... ❤

[@maracservices]

Thankyou!

[@scottk0623]

Nice job Mitch. There is a diode in some of these motors that’s why you need to switch current directions on the ohm test. Your best advice is learn to read your meter. Thanks for the video, stay well.

[@maracservices]

Ahh that makes sense. Cheers mate, I hope you’re doing well!

[@huseyintufekci4417]

Hey man, i have no recistance on my meter. Only when i turn the blades. Does that mean they’re dead ?

[@nailgunana2902]

this motor, from inverter Daikin?

[@davecoolaircon]

👍

[@rdenir]

Absolutely crazy what they did with that app. Already its hard as hell to get through to Daikin Technical support, at least the app helped somewhat..

[@maracservices]

Yeah mate, I have no idea why they removed the tech info. Apparently the Daikin equip app is the new go to. Apparently it has all the info on there. I’m not sure why they changed.

[@brendanmurray6836]

Hey dude, I had the same issue. I logged out and back in again and it brought back all the info. Hope that helps great channel

[@maracservices]

@@brendanmurray6836 thanks heaps mate, I’ll give it a try!

[@TOWNOFOX]

hey big dog if you get the daikin equip app it has all the info - requires a bit of sign up and isnt as easy to use as the old service app but its handy check out slim tip probes for your multi, I've got a field piece with the adk7 lead kit which has a set of needle probes which fit down the back side of the headers to touch the pins. save depinning and having to think about the order love the vids mate RIP to the service app

[@maracservices]

Oh wow, thanks heaps mate. I was so annoyed when I thought they deleted all the tech info off the service app. Appreciate the heads up. I will 100% get those leads. The stock fluke leads are chunky as. Cheers mate

[@handle156]

Excellent video Mitch!! Slim tip probes save heaps of time on site. You can also strip some scrap tps cable and wrap a copper strand around each probe to give you a fine point for testing. This has saved me heaps of time in the past, keep up the good work Legend!! 🤙🏼

[@maracservices]

@@handle156 thanks for the tip mate. I’m always looking for ways to get better. Not having to remove the plug would save me so much time on site. Cheers Mark 👍🏻

[@ruimvp]

Thank you. I have a short circuit between blue and brown (or white brown). Do you think the motor can be repaired or replaced?

[@maracservices]

No worries. A motor can be rewound but the cost of the labour to do so could possibly outweigh the price of the fan motor itself. If it was just a noisy or ceased bearing, then repairing the fan would be an option. In this case, I’d just replace the fan motor myself.

[@ruimvp]

@@maracservices thank you. Tomorrow I will look for a new one.

[@jabberwokky8]

Hi Mitch, thanks for your video. 🙂👍 if the fan motor goes does it take out the PCB?

[@maracservices]

It definitely can take out the PCB. Not always but I’ve seen it happen many times.

[@jabberwokky8]

@@maracservices Thanks for the reply Mitch. I saw that the led PCB status light started blinking when the fan was disconnected. So it seemed the board was ok and it was just the fan motor malfunctioning. I replaced it and the heat pump is now working fine. My neighbour had the same issue but the fan motor failing also took out his main board.

[@maracservices]

@@jabberwokky8 sounds about right. It’s honestly a 50/50 chance whether the board gets damaged or not

[@tready2008]

Removing the wires out of the molex plug isn't necessary, most of the time you can back probe or lay it flat and just hold your meter probes on the back of the connector where the tabs are. Just saves the time of removing them and reinserting remembering the order etc.

[@maracservices]

Thanks mate! I appreciate the tip. My fluke leads are chunky as. I’m going to look out for some better ones. Cheers Adam!

[@xLr8rSFR]

sharpen the tips of the leads with a file or sander ;-)

[@Darny1able]

these new daikins built to self distruct.glad iam commercial must be embarrasing if u do domestic.

[@kikenyoshichuuisuruto4614]

Is it possible that the ohm value is in specification but the motor still failure from other electronic function?
