      I put out a request for quote on Yelp and had about 10 reply in 15 mins. I suspect today the job (in California) would be about $2k. They can't quote until they diagnose the issue themselves. The motor is the same $150 that you paid. Such a savings if you can do the job yourself.

    Blower Motor (which I didn't even know was a thing before this weekend) went out on Labor Day weekend; called around and only one who would do over a holiday weekend (on a Saturday mind you, not Sunday or Monday) quoted $1,000 to replace. Sucked it up over the weekend, went to the local plumbing supply store on Tuesday and bought a motor for $140 including the capacitor and swapped it out last night. COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU. Thanks so much! Going to your paypal page to donate a few bucks in appreciation.

Once i got the new one, that process took way longer because i installed it wrong several times into the housing first. All in all from diagnosis to repair i probably spent about 8 hours fixing it and another 8 researching what motor i should buy.

      @@Insidiousotter that's not exactly "sticking it" like any business they need to make money, good HVAC techs are not cheap. Tools, company vehicles, shop, office wages, tech wages, pension, benefits, gas, dispatchers, It's expensive. A good HVAC tech is making 80-120k a year depending on area. You want a good wage? So do HVAC mechanics working 12-15 hrs a day.
      600$ for a motor, drive time to pick it up, go to call, swap motor, check and run the system, check things like duct static pressure, evap coil etc to see if that's what caused the motor to fail, Yeah I'd charge 1500$, but some areas techs and everything else is way more expensive, so 2k isn't outrageous, some suppliers charge more than others as well. Rule of thumb, cost of parts x 2.5 for standard jobs to make money off them. Some companies just charge flat rates for certain parts. Like 2k for a DC variable speed fan motor, so no matter which one, which supplier, they always make money, which they should to stay in business.

    After watching you video, I was amazed at how easy it was to replace a blower motor. I am the maintenance tech for an apartment complex and last week we had a company come out and change a blower motor that went out and charged the owner $800 for parts and labor and I felt that was a little steep. Found out the parts actually only cost $153.00 for motor and capacitor. I advised the owner, that I would be changing these motors out for now on, especially after watching your video and finding out how easy it was to do myself. This way he will be saving at least $350.00. Thank you again for producing such a great video.

    My man, I just wanted to say thank you for making this video and posting it. It was easy to follow, and it's edited well which speeds up the process by not having to skip to the next part.
    I have a Trane XE 80 and my HVAC guy wanted to charge me 500 - 600 bucks to change the blower motor.
    I heard the motor struggling last night, and then this morning it wouldn't kick on at all. The guy came out at 9 this morning and gave me the price. I immediately checked UA-cam for a video on the repair process, and yours was the first one I found. I checked online for an HVAC supply near me, and found the exact motor I needed, 2 rubber rings for the brackets and a new capacitor for 180 bucks. I came home, got to work and within an hour I was done. I also got to clean the fan blades and the inside of the drum.
    Now it's 5.30 pm, and my house is ice cold. Problem solved, and money saved.
    Thanks again bro.

Bought a new blower motor and the day after the part arrived the old one totally died (amazing timing).

    Excellent! Normally I can't understand technical explanations very well because English is not my first language, but in this case I didn't miss a single word and everything made sense the whole time. I came here looking for a solution to a simple problem. The sound of something hitting the blower blades. Something flexible and loose, as it does not prevent the blades from rotating normally. Watching the video carefully, I came to the conclusion that the problem could be the small ground wire that may have come loose and is hanging in the path of the blades. And I could only see that thanks to the attention that the young man gives to every detail of what he is doing, explaining every little thing. The problem may be simple, but solving it is going to be like a slow death from what I can see in this video! So many small details that require care in such a limited and difficult to reach space! Very hard for someone who never did such a thing. But it might be worth it to save the hundreds of dollars I'd spend calling tech support just to get a small ground wire out of the way. Thank you very much young guy!

    First of all, your video is about the best instructional video I've ever seen, and as a single mom, I do a lot of my own repairs, so I watch a lot of videos first - thanks! I have a Carrier Weathermaker 8000 that is around 15 years old. In April I came home one day to a slight burning smell and got an error code 33. In the past I've been lucky enough to solve my furnace problem by cleaning the flame sensor, but this time it didn't take care of the problem. I had just changed filters, so I knew it wasn't that. I figured it was time to call in a repair person, but decided I'd do it in the early fall during their off season. This decision has come back to bite me when I realized the reason my air conditioner is not blowing any cold air is because the blower motor is probably shot. I just didn't make the connection that the furnace problem could affect my A/C. When I turn on the A/C, the outside unit comes on, but no cold air comes from the vent. Would a blower motor or capacitor emit a burning smell when they go out, or am I on the wrong track? Although different brands, my fan from the outside looks similar to the one in your video, with the exception that there is a column with the vent to the roof in front of the blower casing which it looks like I'll need to remove before I can access the blower unit. Is there anything I need to know before removing that vent column?

    • @WordofAdviceTV
      @WordofAdviceTV  6 років тому +3

      Thank you for the high opinion of my video :) Glad you liked it! A burnt electrical smell typically indicates a burnt out blower motor. The smell of motor windings starting to melt is what that usually is. When you replace the motor, I would also replace the capacitor. The fan from outside may look similar but the one out there is 240v whereas the indoor fan is usually 120v (you can find that info on the motor itself once you pull it out). This job is not too hard but it is time consuming. If you have a vent pipe in front of your blower compartment, then yes, you will have to take that piece of pipe out to be able to access the blower motor. There's nothing you really need to know before you take it apart :) Just remember how you take it out so that you can put it back in the same way once you are done.

    • @tammycochran8770
      @tammycochran8770 6 років тому +2

      The fan in the A/C unit outside goes on and seems to be fine. It's just the one in the furnace that seems to be done for. I will definitely replace the capacitor when I do the job. I tried Googling my furnace model number (58ZAV096-12) for replacement part info, but it looks like it's old enough that there's nothing out there, so I guess I'll have to pull it out to get the specs off it before I can order a new motor. I do know it's 1/3 HP, so I'm hoping a replacement will be easy to find. Thanks for your help!

      Jay, I hope I can inconvenience you for a little more help. Motor is now successfully removed so I could see the specs to order a new motor and capacitor. I can clearly see it is a GE 5KCP39GG S336 S, 1/3 HP, 115V, 5.2A, 1075 RPM, 60 HZ motor. Other info on the label is: Cap 5.00/370 (which I assume calls out the capacitor size), Ph1 (not sure what this means). How do I tell if I need a 3 speed or 4 speed replacement motor? And does it have to be 5.2A, or will the 5.9A motor you used in your video work as a replacement, since it seems to match all the other specs? Thanks!!

Just about every google search said that I only needed to replace the capacitor. I did that this morning and it worked for about an hour before it reverted back to stalled out humming noises. I watched your video on my lunch break, bought a replacement motor at a parts store on my way home from work, and spent about 2 hours replacing the thing myself following your basic steps.

But one thing, wearing gloves of any sort is a good idea for parts of this job - especially when handling the squirrel cage and when removing/replacing the blower housing. If I don't wear gloves, I almost always get a nuisance scratch or cut, and leaving blood on your work is not the sign of a professional (which I am not anyway). The gloves keep your hands cleaner too. Yours didn't seem to suffer much, but often furnaces are not as clean as yours was. I like that you know your stuff, speak fast and work fast, and seem like in real life you're a super-fine person. Thanks for posting this really well done video tutorial.

The 3/4 HP blower motor in my furnace cost about $190 on Ebay. I used a factory replacement part but I could have used a generic blower motor which is about $90 cheaper.

      Unfortunately, there was also an issue with the fan control limit switch - one of the tabs had broken off the switch housing, so the pressure switch wasn't working correctly. I confirmed this was the case by temporarily using a jumper to bypass the switch for testing purposes. Any suggestions on finding a replacement? Not really sure what specs to look for and I was going to call some local supply stores tomorrow...

      @@0xSpiff Glad to hear you found the wiring problem! As for the high limit, I would find the model and serial of your furnace (should be somewhere on the inside of the furnace cabinet) and go to a site like repairclinic.com and find which limit switch you need. Then you can buy it from them or write down the part number and look on Amazon or maybe you have some appliance/HVAC shops locally.

      @@WordofAdviceTV Yup I took down the furnace info and luckily we have a lot of industrial supply shops around where I live (Minnesota) and was able to get a replacement. Everything works now, thanks again. Legitimately one of the most useful/helpful videos on all of UA-cam! :)

He charged me $220 in total and didn't even wanna charge that because we had just got through a direct hit from cat 4 hurricane ida, but I have money saved up, it was a blessing to get a better price and I was thankful!

      @@carlab82 that’s great. I work in hvac and it’s hard to tell my customers to pay for something that can be bought cheaper. I can’t sleep at night knowing I ripped someone off. On the other hand, it’s the labor that is what cost most. Most good companies won’t rip you off. A lot of good companies out there that will work with the customer on price. Especially for someone like yourself with the hurricane. People who take advantage of a crisis should be out of business. They give the trade a bad name. But glad to hear you got it fixed. Find a good company that will give you a good price on hvac maintenance for a yearly cost. That way you can pay a low amount for the year but also have a peace of mind that everything is gonna run the way it should with no surprises. It’s worth the cost. If it’s a good company they will offer a discount on repairs and some kind of warranty on those repairs if you are on their maintenance plan. Keep that in mind. New or old equipment. Just research the company and read their reviews. Take care !!!
