Our upstairs unit was doing that earlier this summer. Called the service guy. he replaced the run capacitor. All is well now.Went over to a rental property I own that I'm trying to get ready to rent out and go to turn the ac down and find the air handler like partially on. Walked down stairs and the outside unit was running. I wonder if the blower motor went bad? Or maybe the capacitor? I just had them replace the blower motor a couple years ago. It's one of those stupid variable speed motors that's like $500
I hope it's something simple like that.Our upstairs unit was doing that earlier this summer. Called the service guy. he replaced the run capacitor. All is well now.
If its an ECM and it just turns slowly its bad. You can technically fix them if you want to bust out the soldering iron and replace components. But youre better off just replacing it.
Well it did work fine for a couple years. Could very well be the board. We will see tomorrow whats up. It was like 800 bucks about a year after covid the last time I replaced the blower motor.There is a service procedure that has to be followed for a ecm motor. It might not be the motor could be the board that sends a signal to the motor. Do u own a volt ohm meter? Google furnace brand and model for a service manual. Motor brand and model number. Electronic parts in motor can be replaced. A ecm motor before the covid was close to 1k. Are is the motor a 3-or 4 speed motor?
Ecm are dc motors no capacitors except in the built in electronics.If its an ECM and it just turns slowly its bad. You can technically fix them if you want to bust out the soldering iron and replace components. But youre better off just replacing it.
Yes but the air handler unit itself has a capacitor. That's what I'm hoping it is.Ecm are dc motors no capacitors except in the built in electronics.
I hope it was still under warranty.So they came out. Turned out to be the motor.
Of course not.I hope it was still under warranty.
