Diagnosing and replacing an ECM condenser fan motor. Plus, quite the trip outta there.

Good morning guys and gals. We are coming to see a package unit. He said it ain't running or ain't doing right. Hold on. There's a reason I'm not just turning it off. I want to see this. Yes sir. Wash the coils out with the hose from the inside and that didn't do a bit of good. No sir I don't think it will right now. The um this fan's not coming on. Somebody's got some holly bushes right here for me yeah i can go get the swiffer i can get rid of that no i got i got a trick for that right here that's bigger than what i thought it was i guess that's where that moisture runs out right there it does right there and that's what's doing it isn't it part of it all right we got us a ECM motor let me uh all right i gotta make sure of a couple things before we go replacing this motor well that's not the same motor that blows air in the house is it no sir it's not cold that's lucky enough to be a blown fuse or something like that but don't hurt the kit no no sir don't hurt y'all lose power out here pretty frequently or yes sir i do i'm on the end of the line i'm calling you up 24 volts so that brings on my 24 so where's my power i might put all these back but i got to trace this out do what you need to do all right that's one of of my powers and that's one of my powers so we know we're getting 240 um this is my 24 volts we know i think they're using blue is coming right here so 27 27 so it's getting a call now we're going a ohm between here and here 15 15 i think it's just the module right as it turns out you cannot replace just the module on those motors so we're going to go get a whole motor and module it is the last one they have and they said um if they had to get another one they don't know when it would show up so we're lucky to have a part on this one when i come back i'm gonna show you the road we have to drive to get to this guy's house you just think you're back in the woods this guy's in the woods we are back i got power turned off how you like that disconnect um i'm still gonna check make sure i don't have power now um let me explain a little bit while i was troubleshooting earlier you got to make sure this is getting power 240 volts and a call which is on this 24 volts to this is common and you see on this one they have a grounded common for this blue is common and yellow is for your 24 volts now up on this board you see that fan and fan these boards were used when that had a regular condenser fan motor and that just broke line voltage now it just breaks 24 volts so it tells it when to turn off if it's in defrost so you check to make sure you get 24 volts up here and they're plugged in the line voltage right here so you make sure it's got line voltage and if it's not running you got to replace the whole motor rusted too bad it's not but like five six years old you snug all right yeah i got a puller puller i can put on it i'm fixing to go get it you gotta be careful you set screw holes here my set screws you don't want to put one of these anywhere near that hole because it'll ruin it and it's really hard to get anything to thread back in that hole holes are right there i'm gonna try to go between them i'm starting to tighten up oh i don't have my crescent wrenches in this bag i gotta go get those spelt it break i keep my impact on low speed most of the time because I don't want to strip these out it's real easy to these impacts today all of them have so much power and speed they would just spin those right out all right y'all are gonna criticize me for this but that thing was so hard coming out all right that's it feed this through one thing about wearing glasses in this heat your sweat drips all over them and then you can't see the signal common don't bury the ground and we got our two powers now this is completely disconnected need some zip ties i don't think i have enough in my bag i'm gonna go get some just in case you were wondering what's inside here there is another plug okay that's how you change one of those motors and modules just gonna check pressures on it real quick and then i'm gonna show you the drive out of here you ain't gonna believe it the way out of here that was the way in and i almost didn't make it i think you can see why so we're heading out this way and believe it or not when you see it it's a safer trip than that one all right i promised an adventure a deliver here Here we go. This is where I grew up. For tuning in.
