Thank you so much man. You’re helping MULTITUDES of us new to the trade. Just know it’s very appreciated.

[@TaddyDigest]

You're welcome my brother Because of you I keep going

[@MightyR1000]

The way you explain everything is super simple. You must-have had a great teacher and a will to learn to be able to be this thorough.

[@TaddyDigest]

Wow, thank you!

[@alfonsobenitez8574]

Good job, I am a retired HVAC contractor here in Texas, I still work, I happen to only have my right arm. Things can get dificult but not impossible. I always enjoy your videos and give you thumps up for your wonderful videos.

[@MsFishingdog]

You sure better know your wiring when you did what you did. I'm in hvac. And i would not have. Been able to do that. But i'm learning. Good job. And i hope one day i will be able to do that. Great video.

[@TaddyDigest]

Keep learning my friend you are going to do great things brother.

[@manonfire3642]

This is the kind of tech info that makes your channel tops. Thanks for sharing.

[@TaddyDigest]

Really appreciate you saying that that means a lot thank you so much.

[@keepthinking2666]

This is kind of how I did my work for the last 15 to 20 years whenever a company came out with a great idea and stuck it on a circuit board and it failed sticking a relay bypassed the problem still works as it's designed just has an extra part on the side now

[@leoneugene7456]

The best tech ever! You explain every detail from star to finish. Beautiful video..! thank you so much. May God continue to bless you in all you do! ❤

[@erichorton1440]

For the relay, you should have put one wire for the common and then put both white and yellow on the other side of the relay coil. To prevent the power from back tracking into the yellow while the white is on, visa versa, add a one way diode. Thoughts?

[@6barry66]

Dude make life easy for yourself throw the diode out hot wire the circulator fan while you go to the store and get a circuit board. Just a loud the The circulator fan to run all the time so when the cooling comes on it's going And make life easy for yourself instead of getting 10 relays and 4 Diodes.

[@dga5396]

Thank you for all the work you do to show us things we can do or try. I purchased the 447-0 Nu-Calgon coil Gun, and the Tri-Pow'r HD. Little confused on the instructions. For cleaning outside unit, at the bottom of the gun where the * is says If the Coil Gun Probe is used, "A" setting mixes at 4:1 dilution and "B" setting at5:1 dilution. The dilution chart gives a different calculation. Adding the probe changes the setting ratio correct. For outside you use the "A" setting and put the Tri-Pow'r HD in the Coil Gun, for the amount you think you will be using and poor the rest back into the original Gallon. Sorry for bothering you about this. Don Allen

[@Rodzilla408]

Nice video Tad, using a relay as a second option is what I need to learn it helps when I don't have the right part and supply house is closed. Good day.

[@TaddyDigest]

Absolutely I agree my friend. Thank you so much for watching my brother.

[@forlast5231]

The way I explain 240 power is: if your pushing a car, is it easier to push with one person or two? So less strain. Less amps it runs.

[@LC-qi5ff]

Wow thats a brilliant analogy

[@evangarza9216]

Had to do this a couple times it’s clutch when can’t get a replacement board but customer wants AC. Love relays see a lot of them in soffit/pancake air handlers in apartments. Nice video per usual tad! We watching in So Cali

[@TonyRodriguez-ok2ix]

relays electrical switches control loads

[@sly5855]

So the relay was just a temporary fix until you get the control board?

[@TaddyDigest]

Absolutely brother But I give the customer options So I let them decide

[@maxsantana1]

It’s cool you got your son (I’m guessing) helping you out. Can’t wait for my son is older.

Awesome video brother your teaching skills are on point. That was a great solution and explanation.

[@TaddyDigest]

I appreciate that!

[@bradmironik6137]

Good reliable solution for this problem. Also helps improving skills on reading wiring diagrams. Best of all no supply chain delays on some board. Thanks from tn.

Fantastic Video. So well thought out and explained!

Much appreciated!

[@AllTattedUp13]

Whenever i go on residential calls, quick easy way to check blower is take whatever speed tap is calling and i just run it to the door switch. Motor fires up then u know its board. Unless it's a good ol ecm motor. But the supco tester figures that out.

[@TaddyDigest]

It's a great idea man

[@AllTattedUp13]

@@TaddyDigest going on 25yrs in the trade, you figure out some cheats along the way. Unfortunately technology is changing and as I'm sure you're aware, it's making our field not as simple as it used to be lol. Sure we'll get to a point like auto mechanics where u gotta bring in a laptop on service calls to trouble shoot a system 😂

[@markcotter2355]

nice job explaining that repair. hopefully your end of summer goes well.

[@TaddyDigest]

Thank you my brother

[@scottallen5182]

You may want to try cleaning the blower wheel before removing the old motor. It is much easier that way.

high voltage=less current- less voltage = more current

Just changed a blower motor on daikin heat pump unit today.

[@JC-sc9rx]

Newish to the field working in the DMV..apprentice tech.Thanks for your video. Another great one! My question is. Are those blower motor plugs to switch polarity on most package units? Or was this an exception for American standard?

[@glennsepelak5113]

You could also take your purple wire plug it in. plug it into the other side of the contactor. That way, when the contactor pulls in, the blower motor comes on.

[@TaddyDigest]

Bro that is such a good idea I did not think of that but I have done that before.

[@glennsepelak5113]

@@TaddyDigest Been in the business for over 40 years.

[@deanburke3041]

Probably the motor was blazing hot too. Or they won't start. Maybe a little screwy, but I have a voltage plug to try the motor before I have to dismantle everything else to pull it out...could be something else, like brown outside. Had that happen.

Just change the board instead of adding all those relays. Its OK to do this to get customer up and running but dont leave it like that.

What would happen if you moved the switch on the back of the thermostat from gas to electric? Would that fix your problem with fan running in winter?

[@MichaelSmith-pg6gi]

It's always a good idea to mark that belly band with a sharpi as well as where the voltage will hook up on the squirrel cage. Makes reassembly a little easier.

[@TaddyDigest]

Great point yes sir that is a good idea

[@georgevillazana8378]

Great job mate!

You use those JARD caps a lot? Just wondering how they perform for y’all.

[@EnjoyCalculus]

Is the existing XFMR rated to handle the relay you installed?

[@michaelking7253]

No delay on break? I don't feel good about blowers that stop as soon as the tstat satisfies, especially a gas furnace. Nevertheless, it's always fun to see the step by step. Thank you sir

[@TaddyDigest]

Totally agree

[@salmanakhtar1125]

I noticed you use the venlab clamp meter in your videos. How's the accuracy on them ? I'm looking for a cheap meter to carry around instead of my fieldpiece. So I don't leave that at cyustomer house.

[@pcsof33]

Hello dear, there are many very accurate brands like fluke, hioke, kyoritsu...

When you say 9340 relay do you mean , 90340 , 9D340 , 9D34D , or 9340 ?

[@user-gv8wk8jp8z]

Can you explain how to determine if the thermostat can handle the load of adding the relay

[@6barry66]

Why don't you just hot wire the fan while you run to the store and get a new circuit board instead of adding relays and all this other nonsense which you're just gonna take apart a couple hours later. Just put the fan and continuous operation.

[@davidb2438]

If a heat pump, relay needs to be wired differently

[@deanburke3041]

So the relay was bad because it didn't put voltage from the board to close the contacts? It energized with 110 volts to close NO contacts on relay to power 220 volt motor, I think. That 110 voltage would certainly burn up the motor. I've seldom seen rbm relays go bad. Easy to test. Please tell me what I missed. I'll view it again. I seldom had problems with Trane equipment like that.

[@TaddyDigest]

yes that's right

[@Bobcat1950]

Looks like you got your boss with you.

[@Imwright720]

Instead of replacing the board because of a relay can you just replace that piece. Unsolder it and put in a new one. Or just leave it separate like to did.

[@Whatta33]

Wow. Smart. I was trying to remember all that but huh 😅

[@JoeGarcia-cg1pp]

That wheel tells you they have or had a dirty evaporator

Yes sir absolutely you are right

[@joshh5912]

What’s with the zip tie?

Be careful using the little electrical tips they are usually only rated for low voltage. I found out the hard way.

I'm curious what will happen when the heater is on. Will the fan being high speed mode does it go through the relay or does it get power somewhere off the board?

I'd expect it to be run from a speed tap on the board. Why need for a relay? Two different speeds anyway.

[@dirt9925]

@@deanburke3041 I'm not heating air conditioning guy it was my understanding that the blower speed on a heating system run slower than the blower speed on an air conditioning system and I was just wondering if that relay on both systems or not and if so if the blower speed would be an issue just trying to learn something is all
