Furnace Blower Not Working - How to Check It

  • Is your furnace blower motor not working and there is no air coming out of your vents? Perhaps your blower motor has burnt out and you need a new one. Or maybe it is just simply not getting any power therefore not turning on. In this video I show you how you can check if your HVAC blower motor is bad or if it is the control board that is defective. Be safe when you perform these checks and make sure you have the power off when touching any uninsulated parts of a wire/connector. Also, there are many different kinds of furnaces and control boards so do not take my example as law. There can be variations to how the wires are hooked up.

I watched your video, I was able to diagnose the issue easily (it was the mother board) and was able to jump the mother board to keep the fan running and cool the house since everything else was working.

It’s 34-35 years old, but until now, always held temperature and no sign of leaks. Got a portable to survive until we can look into a replacement heat pump system.

This task was my first getting into furnace motor using area. I had by pass certified Hvac Mechanic requirements by looking for local motor supply house as well known ones would not sell to me. I know the motors are available on line but I wanted talk someone locally. Anyway thanks again.

    I love your videos, and wanted to add something that happened to me, I'm not an HVAC tech. My motor would not start, even after I heard the relay click on, so one would assume the start capacitor. This theory was also reinforced when I had to hand start the fan (not recommended if you don't know about this stuff), but it still had trouble starting and I realized the motor bushings were out of oil, and it couldn't overcome the initial friction to start, as it was hard to turn and the motor was very hot if you did get it to run. Anyway I saved 175 bucks on a new motor by taking it apart and re-oiling the felt pads on the two bushings in the blower motor. It would not be hard for some people to do if you are mechanically inclined. Some motors may have oil ports, if they do I would use them.

  • @marks526
    @marks526 4 роки тому +2

    Jay--9 months ago you really helped me with a problem with my blower and the control board on my Rheem Corsaire AC/furnace unit--you can see our whole dialogue below in the comments. However, the problem re-surfaced again this year in the same unit--namely i checked the air return below the filter and blower and sure enough it was completely full of cold water--luckily this time it hadn't shorted out the control board or fan but i figured i must have a condensate drain issue. There is another AC unit right next to it and i can see the condensate line draining water all day--but not on this unit. Both have similarly plumbed drain lines but unfortunately i cannot access the drain pan to inspect it. So here's what i did:
    1. Cut the drain line close to the pan, attempted to vacuum the pan and then rejoined it with very tight plastic tubing over the outside of the PVC so i can see whether anything is coming out of the pan.
    2. Vacuumed out and snaked (with a wire puller) the condensate line at the termination, but found no blockages or crud--the line is only about ten feet long in total
    3. Installed a T before the P trap (there is a P trap in the line with an uncapped vent after the trap, but the trap was also clean) in order to make sure i could "prime" it as well as occasionally pour bleach into the trap.
    Now here's the odd thing: If i put the cap on the T before the trap, which is what i understand you're supposed to do, the condensate stops coming out of the drain and the drain pan overflows down the side of the blower, but if i take the cap off the T, the condensate starts running freely all the way out the drain, although i also lose cool air out that vent which i'm guessing means i have a positive pressure system. So what in the world is going on ? I've left the cap off the T and the condensate line is running fine now and there's no water in the return air compartment below the filter. Thoughts ?

    • @WordofAdviceTV
      @WordofAdviceTV  4 роки тому +1

      Hey Mark! Sorry to hear about the AC troubles! From what you described, it sounds like the drain line gets pulled into a vacuum when the system is running. Having a T with a vent is actually a common procedure. If there is no T, sometimes I will simply drill a little hole on the top of the first elbow as it comes out from the drain pan. So I would just leave it the way you set it up. Sounds good to me :) and it's okay that there is air coming out of it. In fact, if there is no air coming out of it, then that will be a quick indicator for you that the drain line is plugged coming out of the coil.

    • @marks526
      @marks526 4 роки тому +1

      @@WordofAdviceTV thanks for the quick response, Jay. I read so much stuff that said never to have an open vent before the P trap in a positive pressure system--but ultimately that's what works so i guess i need to have my physicist buddy explain why to me ! I also suppose i don't really need to prime the P trap either--i originally thought i had a negative pressure system and the P trap dried out and allowed air to be sucked into the drain--again, thanks and keep up the great videos

    So thankful for your channel. We have an American Standard air conditioning unit electric with natural gas heat. We have had to replace the squirrel cage at least 5 times. The last one taken off was only on about 5-6 months old. The blades were all rusty and loose when taken out. Now the new one is making the same noise...every time its the squirrel cage. So frustrated with this unit!

    Thank you! You helped me to fix my A/C fan problem. The inside fan would not come on at all and the A/C unit outside did not come on either. When I turn the control to fan only the fan or blower did not come on. After 4 hours of troubleshooting in a hot attic, I found the control board the problem. After looking closer I found a 5 amp fuse on the board blown. Replace it and guess what. Cold air is now blowing. Might want to add that in your next video. Could possibly save someone 4 hours in the hot sauna. Still could not have done it without your help. I saved at least. 2 bills. Thanks again!

    Thanks for your videos. I was able to quickly troubleshoot my blower not working. The squirrel cage moved freely so I pulled the capacitor to test it only to realize that my meter doesn't go down to micro ferrets. I reinstalled the capacitor, re-energized the unit, and turned the thermostat up to 90. The exhaust blower started, the burner ignited as it should and when I heard the unit click to start the blower I just reached in and gave the squirrel cage a little assistance in turning and wala, pushing hot air once again. Amazon will have my new capacitor here tomorrow for $10.00. Now I just need to be a human termostat when my wife wants hot air. Well only for one night. :)

      Nice :) Glad to hear you were able to get it figured out! Stay warm! ;) And good luck with being the thermostat! (By the way, if you want, you can set your thermostat fan setting to ON instead of AUTO and just let it run all the time so you don't have to push start it each time the furnace comes on)

    I wish that I had seen this video before commenting on your other one for "AC Unit Not Turning On - How to Fix It". In a nutshell, my blower works when set to the ON position, but does not work when set to AUTO. No part of my system has been changed since I purchased the house a year ago and all systems (heat and cooling) have worked flawlessly until two days ago.

    My Central A/C went out here in Michigan's Summer 2019 heat. After discovering that my blower motor was humming, I followed your instruction and found the problem to be the Control Board. Guess what....this is the furnace's 4th control board in 16 years. It gets shorted out because of moisture dripping from the frozen evaporator coils above. Finally figuring out the problem. Half of the home's unused rooms all have their ducts closed. Add that to a neglected filter in the middle of a heat spell and the system will freeze. Got the replacement board from Amazon today and will swap it out...hopefully for the last time ever! Thanks for you awesome tips.

      @@WordofAdviceTV I realized the motor bushings were out of oil, and it couldn't overcome the initial friction to start, as it was hard to turn and the motor was very hot if you did get it to run. Anyway I saved 175 bucks on a new motor by taking it apart and re-oiling the felt pads on the two bushings in the blower motor. It would not be hard for some people to do if you are mechanically inclined. Some motors may have oil ports, if they do I would use them.

    I wish you were doing a general test as testing for resistance across the common and your different speeds. Checking the start and run windings, thing like that. You’ve basically explained how to trouble shoot your furnace and your furnace alone. A lot do t have a board. Just relays, transformers and so on.
    I wish mine was like yours. Make my life 1,000 times easier.

    Thank you for providing these troubleshooting videos. I have subscribed to your channel, and look forward to watching more of your fantastic videos. I need some extra assistance on my American Standard (Trane) system. It is a dual fuel Heat Pump using gas heat, instead of the traditional electric strip heaters. It has worked exceptionally well since it's installation in 2005. It is installed in our basement, and a water leak from the drain in the first floor bath tub allowed some water to enter the air handling unit. The outdoor air conditioner unit continued to run, but the blower motor quit running. The area was not flooded, but enough water (like a heavy mist) was present to cause some some damage to the motor and/or the control board. Your video "Furnace Blower Not Working - How to Check It" was great, but my system has an "ICN Fan Motor." Therefore, I would appreciate some additional training, if you are familiar with this system. SYSTEM HARDWARE: FURNACE/AIR HANDLER: American Standard AUD100R9V5K2 --- A-COIL (mounted over furnace): American Standard TXC054E5HPC0 --- HEAT PUMP (outdoor unit): American Standard (Heritage 14) Mod 2A6H4042A1000AA (MFR DATE 3/2014) --- INTEGRATED FURNACE CONTROL: CNT03078 --- DUAL FUEL RELAY BOARD: BPC-1, Rev 2 --- ICN FAN MOTOR: Trane # D341314P05 --- How can I determine whether the fan motor and/or the circuit board are defective?
