Your technique of holding the motor shaft and wriggling the fan off is amazing.

[@-8_8-]

I can't believe I needed to see someone use a wrench to capture the post to get the blades off. But I did. And that saved me the cost of a puller or new blades. So thanks man!

[@scottk0623]

I’m glad I’m not the only guy that puts them in and has a rotation issue🤣🤣, 38 yrs at it you would think I’d have it perfect. Nice job. Good approach to motor diagnosis, DON’ T over complicate a simple thing👍

[@motifx6719]

It was spinning clockwise the first time so its wrong?

[@scotthensley8083]

very clever fan removal

[@SwampBanana]

I came here to say that! 😂

[@jasonaguilar4929]

Awesome video 👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@jisink]

I like your technique removing the blades from the rusted shaft.

[@DanhNguyen-fu2ed]

goods thanks

[@bminnie2233]

Wow an hvac is super hallow 😮

[@anthonybologna188]

This is the state we are in of incompetence in every profession!!!!

[@donnierobertson3088]

Nice job and video like always

[@happybearinc.9083]

FYI only Carrier and York you need to reverse rotation

[@chrisreid7907]

Honestly I’ve never really taken the time to read everything on that tag that comes with an after market motor. That was definitely a very helpful bit of knowledge I just learned by hearing you read that out, the clockwise shaft end and counter clockwise lead and. If I heard you correctly LOL. My dumb ass usually just starts the unit and it will change the rotation according to how the blade is spinning.

[@HVACGUY]

Yes, on that label it says “wiring shown is for CW, or CCW rotation lead end.” But, even with that I got it wrong.

[@markamcampbell6340]

Be gentle on the coils taking the fan out.

[@marcuswalker9172]

How close to the motor should that fan be? I was told to push it all the way to the top.

[@franciscallahan4213]

So my ac buzzes when it comes on but the fan doesn't spin. When I spin it with a stick it starts to spin and stays on. Does this mean my fan motor needs replacing? Trying to do this myself. I appreciate your help!!

[@mrfloodsparty]

Most likely your capacitor is bad. In fact, that's a trick some do use to check for a weak but functioning capacitor, so that they don't condemn the fan motor. If you can spin it yourself and it continues under its own power, change the capacitor.

[@franciscallahan4213]

@@mrfloodsparty Thank you! That did the trick

[@MrLsnelson]

How do you know exactly where to position the fan blade on the new motor shaft? Seems like too high or low might be a problem.

[@oneshot_onekill4618]

I have a ? If i want to be able to use a smart thermostat would i use a 18/8 thermostat wire?

[@eyvonnestone1025]

Is the fan motor and compaster one part or two or

[@jenk3212]

I’ll replace a condenser fan motor on a Goodman when I’m done with high school

[@davidcruickshank2419]

Man I hate those cheap disconnects!

[@HVACGUY]

Me too. I deplore them.

[@whoknows4756]

How did you have it the wrong way? I did not understand that part. Did you put the blades the wrong way? The motor only turns in one direction right?

[@HotRodDave]

If you wire it wrong it spins the wrong way.

[@HappyWolf182]

If only taking the fan off the motor was always that easy. I've been fighting with mine for 2 hours now.

[@jamesvojir8988]

Great vid but how'd you get those short wires with the wire nuts through the access out of the condensing section?

[@HVACGUY]

They were too short out of the box to pull them in the control panel

[@jamesvojir8988]

Yea I never understood why the generic motors make em so short. Just a few inches more would make all the difference... "that's what she said". 😁

[@edgarlezcas7287]

Hahahhah great job im not the only one

[@jtimmons7817]

Why did you split white and brown and white wire together? On other video they don’t use brown and white wire?

[@HVACGUY]

a capacitor is always between start and run. that white strip identifies it as run. so, all those wires are run - same thing.

[@jtimmons7817]

@@HVACGUY can you do a video explaining what each wire on the motor does?

[@techfive7202]

What driver you using that has a depth like that for those long screws to mount the motor? I'm guessing 9mm but what kind that works with that depth

[@HVACGUY]

Not sure what size. It’s the green one with a hollow shaft

[@samuelsmith1410]

He doesn’t talk as he is connecting wires and we can not see which wires he is connecting!

[@Paulie1232]

I see you are using basic wire nuts. Have you seen and or tried the Wags connectors.

[@HVACGUY]

I’ve seen them, but haven’t tried them.

[@tombeilman5579]

Looks like a lot of extra wire length in there

[@moorescomfortsystemsheatin6068]

Hate those disconnects

[@cezarnebun9607]

Also you forgot to mention…bend the fins while you are at it …

[@BradleyLivestreams]

Do you mean to check them and bend them back into shape only if necessary, or something else?

[@realestateservicessaleshea99]

If there is power to it and its not functioning it's trash! 🍺🍺🍺🥃🥃🍇🏌 Stay safe. Retired(werk'n)keyboard super tech. Wear your safety glasses.

[@christopherdelon3026]

Why did you use all of the wires on a three wire set up

[@HVACGUY]

The way I did it is one way to convert to three wire. You can also cap the brown with a white stripe. That’s just the way I normally do it.

[@shumonrogerssr.8240]

Can’t see what ya doing
