- Found condenser fan motor not running. It was basically an X-13 condenser fan motor, with a remote module. I made sure it was getting voltage, and a call. Then we replaced it. #hvac #hvaclife #rheem #ECM
As you were leaving , I thought I heard a banjo in the back ground Thx for posting ... Nice job by the way ...
GJ on that change out! That disconnect box has probably spent its lifetime trying to escape the horrors heard from that backwoods house and looks like it has almost succeeded.
I sure hope no one in that household ever needs EMS. Great job on the repair love the content.
Your genuine politeness is admirable. I’m praying to be more polite
🇺🇸 Thank you for all of the great videos 🙏
That road reminded me of a video I watched on a relatively new channel talking about how the further you, the customer, live from a city with lots of supply houses, the harder you want to think before going with a variable speed system that can't be repaired with jellybean(common) parts off the truck. He considered an hour or two to advise against a OEM part only system and in favor of a basic system. Not to mention EC motors and inverter boards are far to sensitive for rural power quality.
That is no longer a rain tight disconnect . Rube Goldberg must have installed it. Lucky for him you found the right motor and module. Great video . Looks like central Florida when I first opened my A/c and electrical business in 1969. Lots of return trips for parts. Good job.
Hope they get a surge protector for that unit
Geeze that's why i give them task to do so they stop bothering me 😆. Here's my thermometer sir...will put walk around your house and report back to me what the temp says. 😆 🤣 😂
your real good with the wiring and I like the way you explain how your doing
much respect for your trade skills sir.
Lucky to have sunlight back that far, let alone electricity!
pb blaster instead of WD 40
What a song and dance just to spin a fan! Yeah I know the reasons for it and know why you had to change it for the same type. Thanks for showing what was inside that black box.
Those woods are hell on your wrap job !!
Surge protector i was told may help I've had a few carriers loose the ecm blower motor under warranty.
You are a great hvac tech,because he would have been with air. More damage possibly to the vehicle. Good job.
17:00 keeping the impact driver on low setting, depending on volume of work, using a 2.0ah or 1.5ah drill battery would be preferable for an electrician. Unless of course the 6.0ah battery that came with the drill. What happens most of the time, the larger battery becomes cumbersome and unwieldy on the job site. So if it's feasible, invest in a smaller battery pack.
Or, in my case, a Makita DF001DW 3.6V drill. It works so well on HVAC jobs. Low RPMs and torque. It's got a flexible handle that fits so well in tight spaces in a furnace. If your lucky, $35 bucks on sale at the local H Depot.
Nice troubleshooting and repair
I bet it's quiet and dark out there... Nice. Bet one can see the stars too. Nice fix too btw.
Excellent information n video is very informative n have a good day 😀
Nice video, could have sworn I heard banjos once😂
It must of been the day off for the pool guy lol, what a mess. Thanks for the ride.
Doing a little stump jumpin!!!! Good job👍
That disconnect is hilarious.....The cover is a convenient place to set a soda while you work LOL
I feel your heat living in East Alabama. Good job
Great job and video like always
I would love to live out in the sticks like that I live in the country and I'm a Country Boy born and raised in Oklahoma, but I'd sure like to be this secluded
Those roads remind me of the original movie Evil Dead.
You should wear a bandana about the eye glasses thing.
Does he get a padded trip charge for that wilderness adventure, first time I see a remote fan module.
Yeah like the disconnect for sure, I guess that's how they install them in Hazard County. Good job Curtis.
Steve would call that a shitshow, for sure.
I thought I heard a banjo playing!
I couldn't stop thinking about that disconnect?🤔
I kept rewinding. 😂🤣🤔
Nice job again!🙂👍🏻
The mail man needs a yearly tip!!!
🍺🍺🍺🥃🥃🍿🏌🏻♀️
Stay safe.
Retired (werk'n)keyboard super tech. Wear your safety glasses.
Maaaan, I guarantee you, that man has a Heating and Cooling Issue at 3am, I'm not gonna be the one to go out there. You'll wind up on Missing411.
I bet GPS couldn't find that house. Good video
You need to keep a ratchet and socket that fits that puller. That looked like it sucked with two crescent wrenches
The old motor probably failed due to the rain plugs in the face of the motor not being pulled...ECM motors are susceptible to moister...
Man I wouldn’t want to be driving threw there at night. Lol!
What brand is that unit ? I just retired, have never seen the module separate from the motor. Nice way to "hang " the disconnect
Rheem
I wouldn’t allow you at my home recording nor I would not like you talking about my home
It’s good enough for you to charge the hell out of him
I have a question from a noob. I have a ecm 2.5 16 pin only using 4 on a marvair. The wires rubbed out and took out motor. The signal wires go to a variable speed controller that is fed by one set of 24v wires that come on when the systems Siemens controller calls for G. The VSC is manually controlled and is set to max from the factory. I want to use a fan relay with a 24v coil to power a 3 speed motor (only using high speed). A) is it ok to feed one leg of constant power to the motor (power is 240) and break the other with the relay? If so does it matter which one I break hot or common ? The motor says white is common and speed is connected to black which would be my black. Break common or speed (line). Thanks and thanks for your continued influx of material. I learn more everyday.
Or I guess I can just use a contactor and break both legs. I guess with the relay it would basically be wired like a single pole with a shunt? Either way probably would work?
What's the purpose of those fan modules, for energy efficiency? A good old capacitor wasn't good enough?
Where can I find that fan puller?

nice job
Not sure if a ball joint removal tool would work on the fan blades, question mark? Pain in the butt those fan blades.
Nice video u took your time not moving all fast like a crackhead
I've been mounting my disconnects wrong all the time
was that a driveway or road , looks like something you would see the general lee plowing thru on the dukes of hazard's. your just a good old boy like waylon would say
I was about to ask if the mailman drives this every day, when the mailbox came into the frame.
Yea, let me guess Genteq 142r? They seem to die at 4-6 years and they want to make all the cash by selling whole assembly only. They told me backordered at least a month. They parts places online
👍
The video is good, but to remove the blade using a wrench is not ideal, a 1/2 drive and socket is more efficient and having a 19 thousand socket and the drill makes it efficient to remove the blade and hold the extractor with the spanner. Otherwise the video is very good.
What drill bit size did you use?
1/2”.
Have you ever used jacks penetrating oil. Works wonders for me
Would it be okay to replace it with a psc motor of the same rpm and hp? Could you break the 24 V fan connectors on the board with the 240 instead?
I use a socket on my impact to drill the motor right off! really fast.
Yes that is possible.
Gotta be careful with that method as well. Just make damn sure the stub that pushes down on the motor shaft sits on the shaft nice and center. If it was to get to the edge of the shaft, itll goober the shaft and the hub and your screwed. I know from experience, a coworker used my puller and somehow bent that stub and when I had to pull a blade I didn’t know it and ruined a perfectly good blade.
Man you need one of them little fans that you wear around your neck and they'll keep your glasses from getting all wet and from fogging up
When are you going to make the video about the fieldpiece dr82. I want to get one but want your input and reviews on it. Also some more tests.
I have already. It’s in my tool section. But, I sent it back, and they are returning it to me. So, when I receive it, I’ll do another.
How much was the bill?
If it’s outta warranty put a regular cond Mtr on it
I agree. But, it was registered, and under warranty.
@J. M. thanks. If I get a chance. I certainly will
Why not just put a regular motor on. I know it wouldn't be the .
Driving out, you can hear all the tools flying around the van. got to love it.. not..
I wouldn't want to pay for that motor.
It was under warranty
I just noticed your tat, what is it ?
I think what you can see is a dragon.
@@HVACGUY cool....
