I absolutely love the roosters crowing in the back and every time you say the word capacitor I think of Back to the Future movie with a flux capacitor with whatever it was 8.5 gigawatts of power... You're the clearest and the best I am totally revamping the outside condenser and inside the fan it looks like some horror movie Black Mass or something oh it's bad in there I'm surprised the thing was still running so I bless you bless you you have a gift and you are using it God has blessed you you have made this chick more functional and proud because I can do it all by myself because of you

You may have just saved me a few hundred bucks! Excellent video for the common home owner!

Thanks, most detailed i've seen. I am going to give this replacement on my unit. Really appreciate your help

Good video as usual, I have a tech tip to offer, if those screws on the motor didn't fit into the holes, i would suggest to put the nuts on them before attempting to bend them, to help keep the threads safe. Look forward to your future videos.

What if our replacement didn’t come with those screws…

I want you to know that I have watched a lot of videos on the A. C, and you are definitely my favorite. You explain things the best. You show everything the best. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the videos that you share. Thank you, Elliot Schrader from South Florida.

I cannot overstate how excellent these videos are. Very high quality tutorials. You are very much appreciated.

Awesome video! Instructions were spot on. Saved me $$$ dollars from having the AC company do it. My AC was different but the steps were the same. Thanks!

This is probably the 4th video from your collection that I have used to save me serious money. I followed this video and managed to replace the fan motor. I did have a problem removing the fan off the motor - that took a while to get off (I'm sure without your video I would have that thought I was doing something wrong). Sandpaper, wd-40 and 30 minutes and it was off. The only other problem was routing the new cables though the existing hole/grommet. In the end, I had to attach the new cables to one of the cut cables to pull them through. Thanks a bunch for these videos.

Saved me $500! Thank you for creating this video and all the other ones as well. Thank you, keep up the good work!

I’ve watched several of your videos in the past 3 or 4 days. My AC wasn’t working and every place I called said they wouldn’t be able to get to me for a week or longer. After watching your videos, I found a weak capacitor, and the contactor was not looking so good. Ordered the parts from Amazon and got the parts installed today. After the new parts were installed crossed my fingers and turned the power back on. Now I’m sitting in a nice cool house. Thanks for the videos. They help out a lot.

Thank you! This vid gave me the confidence to change mine. The bearings were failing and it finally gave out. I went ahead and ordered a new motor and capacitor and everything runs as good as new!! Saved me some $$$$$$ THANKS!

ur wife is so supportive. love it!

Thanks and thank you VERY MUCH for the thorough walking step-by-step because 90% of the time, most presenters are talking too much and do very little in details on what and how to....GREAT JOB!

Hey Jay, just another line to say THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR SOLOMON TYPE WISDOM... the fan motor on my outside unit quit ahead of the memorial day weekend and we fixed it following your clear and concise instructions and help from the Lord Jesus, we got it done and we are in the cool again... thanks again for your encouragement and willingness to share with us out here in cyber land...and may God Bless you and yours for your kindness!😊

I respect this kind of content, it’s useful to those who really wanna become technicians and learn more about the trade

I’m a HVAC office assistant and let me tell you these videos save my life sometimes😂 i’m not out in the field learning hands on but i watch your videos 25/7 i’ve learned so much from them and i can pass that on to my customers!

I just wanted to thank you for an excellent video. I just replaced in an hour and a half my contactor and fan motor. Works perfect, Got OEM parts and I saved nearly a thousand bucks. The contactor cost me $13.00 from amazon and the AC company was going to charge $250.00 to install it. They wanted $750.00 to replace the as yet not failed fan motor. I found OEM replacement for $213.00 and saved a lot of money. Couldnt have been easier. I understand they have a lot to pay for with trucks etc but thats just way over what it should be for the small amount of work it took. The contactor part took no more than 20 min. Again thanks for your well done video. Much appreciated.

Incredible the condensor fan puller just arrived so I did one more try like u said working with sand paper, file and WD 40 and this time I was able to slide that fan off ! Big thanks to u again. I'm an HVAC-R myself, but been out of the game for awhile. U are now my teacher.

I watched a few videos before yours and they were horrible I wanted to thank you for a complete video I feel confident about doing the job myself!

Bro. Loved the video. Nice job on all the odds and ends and things to watch out for. Also enjoyed all of the side bits like the cat, wasps, bug, and cat toy. Loved it!

Just went out to find my fan motor super hot and buzzing like it wanted to run but couldn’t. Disconnected power and promptly searched to find out how to change it. Your video was one of the first to come up, and was easy to follow, not overly dry, and overall super helpful. Bookmarking this so I can replace my fan motor when it comes in!

Exactly the video I was looking for... needed one that shows a unit where the entire top has to come off, not just the metal grid holding the motor.

Very helpful video! I'll be referring to this while I attempt to replace the condenser fan on my unit. Regarding the hassle of getting the top back on the unit, when I cleaned out my condenser this spring, after getting frustrated trying to re-fit the top onto the unit (as you mentioned), I used a ratcheting tie down to compresss all four sides a bit and the top was a breeze to re-install.

Great step-by-step. It covered pretty much every detail and what it didn't was covered in other videos he linked. The wiring video helped because my new motor had 4 wires and the old had 3 wires. The only thing not mentioned was the green ground wire on my new motor, which I figure out elsewhere could just be removed as long as the motor connected directly with the frame (metal on metal).

So very helpful, thank you for the awesome video! One note I can throw in that might help someone one day: there is a specialized tool to get a fan blade off the shaft. I think it's called "fan blade and blower wheel puller". The guys I got the new fan motor from volunteered to help getting the fan blade assembly off the old shaft, and they used that tool. Made a big difference in turnaround time. Anyway, thank you so much for ALL of your excellent videos!

I replaced my air handler fan motor, also gave it a nice clean(had a lot of built in dirt) after watching your video. I really dislike how at my school we don’t get to practice any of this. Just reading, & testing. Oh well, I also got most of my tools now, after watching “what’s in my tool bag” just need my monometer. I’m taking my epa 608 in 2 weeks and if god allows it, start my career in HVACR. Thanks for all your content I’ve honestly learned more watching your videos. I Hope Hawaii is good.

My compliments on the thorough detail given here. Too many of these "how to" videos (not yours) omit simple or obvious ( to the tech giving the instruction) steps that are not obvious to the dummy (me) listening. Also no "um's" or "ers" and you deliver clear pictures of what is being done and how (it is really frustrating to have some step(s) blurred or concealed by shadow or a bad angle). This is well done all around.

Excellent video - very clear and easy to follow instructions. It gave me the confidence to go ahead and try it. I followed your steps, turned on the power, and the unit started up just the way it was supposed to :). Saved several hundred dollars, based on the quote from the pros.

Got quoted $1,750 to do this job. Ended up finding this video and decided to do it myself. Only spent $98 on the fan motor and took 45 minutes to remove and replace. Thankyou for the video

Awesome video and great way to teach everyone how to properly replace a fan motor and being very detailed not to mess up or damage any areas. Thank you Sir!

Excellent video and a very good teacher. Replaced my fan blower motor and run capacitor. Thank you very much.

Great video. I have a Goodman unit similar to your and it looks like I'll be replacing my motor as well. You explain thing very clearly and easy to understand. Thanks again.

I don't know anything about ac. And didn't know how to take off the blade, but I will say sir, your video saved my life. Thank you

Best Video on replacing the fan. Would add that the motor is hot when you take it off, unless you shut the ac off several hours ago. So wear some gloves to take it off. Also the connections from motor to capacitor and live and neutral are all simple easy slide types so you can easily pull them off with a plier before you lift the fan cover. This will make turning the fan upside down and placing it on top lot easier.

Very good teaching, took your time and helped me process the motor removal and replacement. awesome

Thanks for the video. 👍

Thanks for another super helpful video - love the cat interactions too! I just replaced my fan motor and condenser this past winter. For the last couple of years, the motor bearings would start making a awful racket at times. For a while, I could quiet the bearings by giving the unit a sharp rap with my hand but eventually that no longer worked so I waited until the cooler months to replace it. (Since the A/C wasn't needed then, it also allowed me the time to make some cosmetic improvements by painting the top grate which was looking a little shabby.) Got a great deal ($95), on the OEM motor from Amazon and it's working perfectly so far. I imagine that would've been at least a $700 fix if I called the A/C repairman. I love saving money! lol

Thanks very much. You teach very easy and clear. Thanks again for your unselffish to teach us.

I have to do this exact thing on my unit and it looks like I also have the exact Goodman unit so it's a perfect duplicate. I ordered the motor and will attempt the replacement when it gets here. Wish me luck!!!

For anybody struggling to get the fan blade off or for techs entering into the field I highly recommend purchasing a hub puller from an HVAC supply store, they’re specifically designed for this. In a pinch, a gear puller from an auto store also works, preferably a two clawed one over a three clawed one as they fit around the blades better.

thank you again , your videos are always very informative, and a tip, if the bolts or screws on the motor are bent put the nuts , two would work best , onto the screws then you can use pliers or channels to bend the bolts to a more upright position , this keeps the threads safe from being chewed up, ciao 4 now

Haha you seem so energetic! Love it 😄 I just read your reply in the other thread (sorry it took a while to respond, it's hard to keep track of comments). From everything you described it does sound like the fan motor is starting to fail and needs to be replaced. But of course that is not guaranteed... There's always a small chance that it can be something else. Hopefully this will not be the case in your situation and after you replace the motor, the unit will work for another 15 years with no issues. 👍👍 I can only imagine how sticky things get over there.. And seriously, forget about the tip. Use that money to go out and celebrate your success once you're done instead. (get a chilled drink too 😉 )

Thanks so much I have really been learning a lot.

awesome video, RIP the ppl who did not check for voltage before cutting the wires.

I forgot to mention this in the video but there may be cases that no matter how hard you try to persuade the fan blade to come off, it does not budge even the slightest bit. You already tried everything at your disposal - the rust buster, penetrating oil, heated the shaft, threatened it, yelled at it, talked nicely to it but all that to no avail. It's almost like the fan blade hub fused with the motor shaft. If you find yourself in an exciting situation like this, they sell a hub puller that you can try and most of the time it will get the job done. Here it is: The Ultimate Hub Puller: amzn.to/3cLUQ5q That being said... I have only had one time that even the hub puller failed. It just gouged out holes/trenches in the fan blade hub and still didn't pull it off. It was amazing. I threw the motor with the stuck on fan blade away and simply ordered a new fan blade. After that experience if I ever see a motor where the shaft is super rusted and looks like it may be fused to the fan blade, I try pulling the fan blade off before ordering the new motor. Just in case.. If it doesn't come off, I order a new fan blade right away too.

Since my landlord would not fix my AC I did myself last summer lol from your videos I have learned so much ❤️ but the one thing that was sooooo hard it took me 2 days lol pulling out the squirrel cage to clean that and the fan motor make it worse I hatee basements! I'm born and raised in Florida now in Wisconsin.. basement freak me out... I have upflow so the blower is at the very bottom and how dirty even dead mice! Finally took the squirrel cage apart but OMG all day I could not take apart that motor it took over a day 🤣🤣 I sandpapered it just like you did and everything watching his easy you do it I laughed at myself.... I also cleaned the condenser coils outside last Summer but right now just randomly it will make a sound I'm thinking if it's the motor cuz my AC is working just fine and that sound will be random not only turn it on or off just a whistle I think I might try to oil fan motor bearings

Very good video!!

Good looking out Man U saved me some time

Thanks for the video and information. One thing you might consider is that with my fan motor the shaft was in such bad condition, rust, your method did not work. What I had to do was use your sandpaper trick and sand the bottom part of the shaft, between the fan and the motor. Lube it after and then use a socket to place over the shaft and smack it using a hammer until it finally reached the smooth part of the shaft. It broke free and then I sanded the rest of the shaft and the fan came off easily. Thank you again, I doubt I would have thought of this myself without your help.

Use your VOM to check for voltage before touching anything. Don't trust disconnects or circuit breakers. Don't pull on the fan blade itself. Pull on the blade attachment, it is much stronger metal. Before cutting any wires or touching any terminals, discharge the capacitor.
