What I'm amazed at with Steve's repair videos is how he keeps his gloves intact and not ripped and torn apart

Never seen a failure like that. Beautiful and fascinating.

that math equals a 22 degree split. they could use more flow over the coil by tossing that high merv filter in the trash and going to a 4. nice saving them a 100$ and installing best there is mars capacitor. would i have walked upstairs to get a vacuum with a brush attachment for the motor and A coil ? yeah i probably would have. Another in a long line of nice repairs.

Were I work, we have 27 5 ton outdoor units, and 12 indoor 3 ton units. This happens so often, we keep a stockpile of blower motors and fans on hand. We have had them go out so bad they actually set off our fire system.

Tell us how you really feel about Trane products and don’t hold back Steve! 😂😂😂

@@ladykoh4678 You got those GM parts on any Corolla made by NUMMI in CA or even at the Toyota plant in Canada. Only way to avoid them was to find a Japan built Corolla. My 94 1.8 had a Delco alternator. Brought a dead one into the parts store (lifetime warranty, NOT the first replacement one either) and the guy looked at it and said "Buick?" The 1.6 got a good Denso alternator made in Japan though, even if built at NUMMI. You'd get the same GM part at the Toyota dealer if you had a US/CAN VIN. I had an 05 as well, built at the NUMMI plant, and GM (Delphi) made the ECU, improperly and not to Toyota's required specs to save a few cents per unit on the solder. They had to recall them all.

They must have saved a small fortune on filters for that unit!

Merv rating goes to 20, highest ones used in heavy duty equipment found in schools, hospitals, tech buildings, airports, labs, etc. Also airborn viruses can only be caught in merv 13's or higher.

This guy's having way too much fun goofing on Trane. I love it.

Very well done, thanks for the video

The only times I see the wheels fall apart like that is when zoning gets installed or home owners has most of the vents in the house closed. Too much back pressure.

Hi Steve ! Boy, what a pain in the butt ! All those wires and other assembly, that's what I didn't like about Trane, when I had to get the squirrel cage housing out to do repairs, I would try to reroute the wiring at least to make it easier next time the unit needed repairs ! Great video !

I have a Trane for the last ten years, only thing is I have to clean the flame sensor rod every year or two, takes about 5 minutes. I keep it clean as almost new. Good job on this one, really needs better maintenance from owner.

Way to go Molly! That Steve guy helped too.

As long as the install was done properly any system can run for many years. But, nothing wrong with Trane, they make a good unit.

I've seen blower wheel do that a couple times on some older mid Tranes.

My 1st home motor oiling ports on blower...2 screws pulled it out..lubes 2 times a year.. this is nuts..

21.8 degrees difference where I went to school

Steve, I was sneezing just watching your clean the blower. Hope you were earing a mask. Thought you had a small vacuum.

Nice work steve I love your videos but 72-50is 22 degrees lol

Nice work

Hello Steve! Here in MD by VA and DC it's been in the 90s everyday! 80s are cold here this time of year!

My goodness ! This place must not vacuum or change out the filter in the hvac !

"The wheel on the motor goes squeak, squeak, bang!"

It's hard to start a trane.. another well done video Steve!!

I've been seeing alot of Carrier RTU blower assembles with the same issue !

Love it when ya get tickled!!! Thanks!!!

Nice video.

Of course Trane will say use only Trane OEM parts, I agree that Goodman wheel was probably made in the same factory as the Trane wheel and works just as well, saves the customer money.

Had to spray some “weasel piss” on shaft to loosen it up 😂

🎵 Going of the rails in a crazy Trane. 🎵

no charge for having to deal with mouse poo....amazing

Did you coil the low voltage wires? I noticed them when you were testing the fan after putting on the new wheel.

I think a yearly cleaning program would certainly extend the life of most of those components.

Had one just like it a couple weeks ago on a carrier.

Steven lavimonier I like your utube videos are awesome

Good enough for this neighborhood. Thanks for taking care of that preschool, I'm sure they appreciate it.

Been awhile since it seen a P/M and Mr Steve brings another victim alive.👍

WoW!

They put the new filter in after it began to sound like a squirrel caught in a flue after the burner kicked on.....

Steve show us a shot of your truck one day, inside and out.

Only difference Steve is the Goodman doesn't have the advertising dollars figured into the part price. The Trane part has the extra price for the name. Just like using Gain versus Tide. Proctor and Gamble owns both. If you stop a Trane your wallet will feel the pain! (Next level next level) 😁

Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all. 👍👍. Do you think they performed regular maintenance on that Trane? Like they say, treat your equipment casually, and it will become a casualty.

Steve likes the Kroil,Shit is too expensive! Straight Turpentine is a trick I learned from a machinest,and you can make your own Kroil with ATF,Oil of Wintergreen and Turpentine or Acetone

Steve is a good one Mr Grinch !!

Just out of curiosity what brand do you recommend I know they are all only as good as the installation but just in quality take the installation out and just look at parts at any price point

I see the problem, it is made in Trenton NJ.

what size home is 100,000 -120,000 btu in western ny around 2000 2 story ?

Nice math there Steveo lol!

You did the customer a huge favor by upgrading the system with Goodman parts! If they'd called the Trane dealer they would have just sold them a new system. You really do go the extra mile for your customers!

Steve just souped up that trane..... added 20 more hp

That blower wheel blew up good. I wonder how long it made noise before it blew up

Wow I hear you. Thought the filter was going to be sucked into the fan. lmao

@ronlovell5374

Probably did after he put the door back on...LOL

I would have installed a filter tray in the intake. I bet she had a filter get sucked up in the blower and that's what caused the blower to blow apart.

what you just witnessed is cavitation. meaning that dirty blower assembly went 7 times atmosphere and the forward curved vanes, separated from the center plate causing all that damage. if you had that much garbage on the motor I'll bet the secondary exchanger and possibly the evap coil are plugged as well. that's some pretty good lunch money.

Time for a new unit.

Steve said don't fall for the bullshit. Had a Trane just come off the tracks! 😆

Just had two of these happen this year about the same age

Train-washed🤣 Molly is watching her figure so she wants a light beer

How is the spare parts market, especially the Control boards or parts with chips in it due to the business war between the USA and China? In your opinion what make is more reliable Trane or Lennox. Trane had bad reputation on heat exchangers here in Canada. Have they improved?

Wait I was told Trane never fails. What did I miss?

Yea they would come in goodman and ask me for those sizes and they would fit in a trane lennox york etc.. I love seeing miss Molly!!

Money Trane mama! Good job taking care of the customer and looking for ways to save them some dough. And yes I totally believe that fan wheel is the same thing you would have gotten from Trane but only $100 less. That thing must have made quite the racket when she went off the rails!

ive had wheels literally explode and take out the secondary heat exchanger because of it. Exploded into pieces.

Good call on the blower fan , 100 more for a name, ridiculous ,comes out of the same manufacturer

I had a Heil furnace… got 29 years out of it. Gas valve went out and the HVAC tech also checked the heat exchanger when I mentioned it’s age and it had just started to develop some cracks at its top. Shoot! Was hoping for one last season out of it, but the new one is just fine.

100 dollars cheaper? 😲 i would have thought the wheel was less than a 100 dollars.

My Parents had a Trane Gas Pack. It jumped the track about a year ago. The Heat exchanger was completely rusted out. It would crumble in Your hands when You touched it.

Nothing wrecks like a Traaaaane

I have a Trane XR80 furnace that is still running strong.

If this was my unit and I had that motor in my hand, there would be no way that it would be going back in. I don't want to be playing this game any time soon, again.
