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

Awesome video 👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Wow an hvac is super hallow 😮
very clever fan removal
I came here to say that! 😂
Nice job and video like always
FYI only Carrier and York you need to reverse rotation

Yes, on that label it says “wiring shown is for CW, or CCW rotation lead end.” But, even with that I got it wrong.
Is the fan motor and compaster one part or two or
Be gentle on the coils taking the fan out.
I have a ? If i want to be able to use a smart thermostat would i use a 18/8 thermostat wire?
I like your technique removing the blades from the rusted shaft.
Man I hate those cheap disconnects!
Me too. I deplore them.

@@mrfloodsparty Thank you! That did the trick
If only taking the fan off the motor was always that easy. I've been fighting with mine for 2 hours now.
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
Not sure what size. It’s the green one with a hollow shaft
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?
If you wire it wrong it spins the wrong way.
Great vid but how'd you get those short wires with the wire nuts through the access out of the condensing section?
They were too short out of the box to pull them in the control panel
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". 😁
Hahahhah great job im not the only one
Also you forgot to mention…bend the fins while you are at it …
Why did you split white and brown and white wire together? On other video they don’t use brown and white wire?
a capacitor is always between start and run. that white strip identifies it as run. so, all those wires are run - same thing.
@@HVACGUY can you do a video explaining what each wire on the motor does?
Hate those disconnects
Looks like a lot of extra wire length in there
I see you are using basic wire nuts. Have you seen and or tried the Wags connectors.
I’ve seen them, but haven’t tried them.
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.
He doesn’t talk as he is connecting wires and we can not see which wires he is connecting!
Why did you use all of the wires on a three wire set up
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.
Can’t see what ya doing
