Update: Rheem Gas Furnace No Heat - Dead Inducer Motor Assembly Replaced

[@Keith_Mikell]

When im using impact i always run it in reverse till it clicks a few times to align the threads. Great video. All love.

[@dalekronk496]

I'm sorry but I was lmfao when you was trying to get the bolt to catch. Been there a few times. FYI I believe you did a outstanding job on how you handled that job.

[@scottvolage1752]

Improper installation of the intake vent pipe. Make the Trades Great again Mikey Pipe. Learn as much as you can Peter.

Issues with Threads Bolts Proves you Keep it Real. 👍🙏

[@raymondjacobs8429]

Mikey Pipes, @ 5:40, you mention A 75 gal water heater? do they have a "Walk In" tub that the installers didn't mention , the old water tank may not be big ENOUGH? Never hear anything about the water heater, when selling a WALK IN.

[@johnwalker890]

Good job Mike, Poor squirrel cage motor was abused in it's premature life.

[@acrservicesmathewr7565]

A lot of the time the inducer assembly’s come with a restrictor collar used to go on the back of the inducer when the system is 50000 btus or less. They will give you a bag with different sized baffles to match what was existing. It won’t pull the pressure switches in if not installed. Just something I’ve went through not knowing why it was happening. It’s always something simple that sets you back. Good work getting them heat

[@MichOutdoors]

Use a nut driver not impact gonna crack the collector box like that.. use right tool for proper application

[@PipeDoctor]

Correct

[@throttlebottle5906]

trigger control, learn it? granted I've been using power/air tools for over 30 years, some have very whizz-poor trigger controls or start/cutoff speeds way too high for some delicate fastening scenarios.

[@chuckquinn8026]

Did you install the 45 on the exhaust outside to keep the water out?

[@PipeDoctor]

yes

[@hvacman77]

Down here in Southern Delaware companies would of tried to sell a new furnace good job Mike getting it repaired

[@TheMrBrandonlewis]

In this episode "Spite": Mikey tackles his biggest issue, screwing.

[@gtpforever]

There's two water sensors on the collector box one in the upper right one in the lower left. They are notorious for throwing codes even if you don't have a water issue so keep that in mind. I have actually found those on brand new units that have a bad wire connection right in the plug.

[@rcsinc.2899]

I pulled a mouse out of my inducer motor last October… it was as big as a squirrel 😂

[@everettstevenson2111]

woe ! hit another speed bump, quote , he might be checking out the gas-fired clothes dryer too, unquote. this one tough note book pad.

[@PipeDoctor]

Looks like this notebook pad is giving me a run for my money! But hey, challenges make life interesting, right?

[@michaelt151]

You couldn't see it, but the camera angle showed the inducer housing was slightly low and maybe to the right when you were having problems starting the mounting bolt. It must have been that 10 pound squirrel that caused it.

[@joshhodges5688]

I had an inducer screw do that to me. It sucks when people are watching you fight with a screw that the angle of dangle is off. I had a bird in the inducer.

[@PipeDoctor]

Haha, fighting with a screw while being watched by an audience sounds like a comedy sketch! At least you have a good story to tell now.

[@scottmaz4063]

Just a little bit damn you for that song

Hey Peter, of Mikey Pipes Plumbing. Looks like you working with D head again? I'm with the John Force Racing Team and it looks like Mikey having a problem in the pit again. lol.

[@PipeDoctor]

Thanks for watching

[@mitchdenner9743]

The squirrel gods were messing with you.😂🐿

[@PipeDoctor]

Haha, those squirrel gods are quite mischievous, aren't they? Maybe they're just trying to get their 15 minutes of fame on your video!

[@kat2641]

He never seen a squirrel but I’ve seen birds I’ve seen mice seen a rat once crap load of leaves on the combustion air intake but ain’t never seen a squirrel yet. I got to tell you once in a while it seems like one of them screws has got to always be a pain in the ass.🤬 but I did finally figure out why every so often throws a fit is actually in the mold!! An?? It only hast to be off 35 thousand to make you pull your hair out…😂😂😂 considering they probably mold eight or 10 of them at the same time in the same die there’s no way each one is 1000% spot right on… but excellent troubleshooting❤❤

[@PipeDoctor]

Haha, sounds like you've encountered quite the menagerie of creatures and obstacles! It's all part of the fun, right? Keep pushing through, and maybe one day you'll spot that elusive squirrel!

[@throttlebottle5906]

wait until you hit a pipe full of yellow jacket nest, so much they were inside the furnace! 😬

[@fatcat-hc4pj]

Damb squirrels always causing problems

[@PipeDoctor]

Deport the squirrels

[@Jon-hx7pe]

it's always the squirrels, even when its not.@@PipeDoctor

[@williamloder9194]

No Rocky the squirrel.

[@scottmaz4063]

I had a customer call about an odor. Long story short 3 squirrels on top of boiler.

[@justinjones6810]

Already cooked squirrel

[@throttlebottle5906]

careful to keep test running the inducer short, most will over-current without being attached, because they'll move too much air freely and just like the indoor blowers. I repurpose used ones for other things, like drying, air supply to fire pit, dust extraction. lol, why spend a fortune when you can get used for free off many scrap furnaces. NOTE: I would never put them back on another furnace.

[@johnniwa308]

Is Peter a Pumpkin Eater? That's the burning question of the century! Join me in this video to uncover the truth behind this enigma.

Squirrels are the # 1 Cause of Outages at both the Power and Telephone Companies. Customers think you make up Excuses. 🤪👎

[@PipeDoctor]

I’ve heard that before too

[@Samlol23_drrich]

Squirrel propaganda started by terriers

[@throttlebottle5906]

TRUTH, they knock the power out here way too often, from climbing on transformers/poles and blowing the HV fuses at end of street, up the road(underground section) or adjacent road the feed come via. GRRRRR it's always at the absolute worst of times too. 😡🤬🤬🤬🤬💩

Hey Mikey, of Mikey Pipes Plumbing not easy being cheesy. I like your podcast/social media, looking thru some comments again. Come on now, Mikey ?. Peter must be your water closet and sewage specialist? Again the holy bible forbidden us, for having a indoor bathroom. I guess Jesus would said, shitty job? lol. Love you buddy, you be safe out there.

[@PipeDoctor]

Haha, Peter is definitely my go-to guy for all things water closet and sewage related. He's the unsung hero of the plumbing world!

[@PipeDoctor]

Haha, Mikey Pipes is definitely a character! But he takes safety seriously, especially when it comes to carbon monoxide. And who knows, maybe the AGA just wants to chat about their latest gas fire clothes dryer models? 😄
