Sometimes not every job goes smoothly. Thanks for posting though. Something I've learned from exhaust setups is by the time you're there running a call on them the store heard the noise months ago and now multiple other parts are damaged. You want to be a mechanic and fix a specific part, but sometimes it's more cost effective in the long run to replace the whole assembly.

[@rookierefrigeration4357]

Yes, sir, you're correct. And thank you for watching...

[@Pitjefe_bbq]

I still till this day have issues with granger Dayton motors out the box

[@totallynotbreezytheboss7218]

That motor is fubar 😂😂😂

[@rookierefrigeration4357]

Yup

[@pincheburro956]

😡

[@treverkirk8110]

One thing Im curious about, since Im sure it wasn’t the OEM motor you were replacing(dayton label). Any chance the old and maybe the new motor were rated for “cont air over” on the nameplate? Remember that those exhaust fan motors do not have airflow going over them, and if they are rated for cont air over then they will naturally over heat in that application. Lots of HVAC motors are rated for “cont air over”.

[@rookierefrigeration4357]

This one was an OEM replacement. However, in my learning process, I did replace 1 vent Hood fan motor with a universal fan.... Burned out in 6 months 🤣🤣

[@pepsicolachao4537]

It is like a pain in the butt to Change the motor in this particular exhaust fan!

[@ares3914]

Bump that pantera hard bro!

[@rookierefrigeration4357]

🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 everyday

[@grindstone5368]

Feel your pain went through that one time before. Those direct drives will kill the bearings in motor quick unbalanced. I've replaced a few fans with the OEM assembly that comes with motor/blade then I take the old blade to a buddy at machine shop he bathes/cleans it then checks balance. Now I got good blades to swap with motor changes 👍

[@rookierefrigeration4357]

That’s smart. Always have spare parts

[@joshstevens9826]

I heard some pantera. My type of tech

[@rookierefrigeration4357]

Damn straight 🤘🏼

[@iamdjnam]

Bro that’s crazy. I had an issue not long ago. Replaced a Dayton motor from grainger and it would blow the breaker as soon as it started. Brand new motor was no good. I don’t fault grainger, I think the Dayton quality has decreased over time.

[@rookierefrigeration4357]

Very possible

[@scottkrempel3005]

if it's not a belt...change the unit.no such thing as a clean kitchen fan.their loss, not yours.

[@TrGuzeli87]

Is that pizza hood motor?

[@stanleyroberts2461]

Been there and done that . Those DD exhaust fans always take to much time!.

[@randygonzales7306]

It is an easy fix if you work on them all the time

[@randygonzales7306]

Sometimes if you dont use an oem motor you have to use a shaft adapter.

[@ScrewedUpEssayLatin]

Just had the same problem at a HEB on friday night... ridiculous as to trying do it by yourself at 1am..... then i cant find the parts at united😡😡😡😡

[@rookierefrigeration4357]

Mauricio Villanueva this motor has to be rated for a certain heat leve. I forget what it was but I replaced one with a motor from United and it burned out in like 8 months. For this case I used an OEM from Grainger. Always go OEM.

[@acrraideredward9773]

PANTERA!

[@rookierefrigeration4357]

🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼my fav.

[@joeyjuarez2257]

It's not installed right! It shouldn't move like that your fan blades are not balance it's hitting the housing in you can hear it in the video that my friend is opening another can of worms!

[@rookierefrigeration4357]

joey juarez the whole thing was replaced. Like a year ago.

[@joeyjuarez2257]

Awesome they did I'm a hood cleaner and know they can be trouble! That's why We stick to belt drive fans..

[@douro20]

Any reason the motor shaft needs to be that long?

[@rookierefrigeration4357]

No. But there’s nothing under it so it can be long and not hit anything.

[@HiddenResolve]

What happens to the other calls you have for the day?

[@rookierefrigeration4357]

You always only have 1 call. Until you are finished, that’s your only call

[@HiddenResolve]

@@rookierefrigeration4357 Lucky. Mines just residential but Im done whenever I finish the calls for the day and/or when they stop adding them, lel.

[@JoseHernandez-db3ys]

What side of the toe do you (L)use to take a fan off?

[@hvacknowledgechannel1621]

It seems need cap

[@rookierefrigeration4357]

Cap was good.

[@emmanuelo2545]
