How To Replace Air Conditioner Condenser Fan Motor

How to replace HVAC air conditioner condenser fan motor. In this video I replace the condenser fan motor on a Goodman heat pump and as I am doing that I explain the whole process step by step and point out things to look out for.

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

[HoopsAB]

I just want to say THANK YOU! I changed my capacitor and my fan motor all by myself…because of you. You gave me the confidence to do it through your videos. THEN, I realized that my fan was running backwards…you helped me with that too! I am forever grateful! I am a mother to a daughter and a son. I showed them how knowledge, hard work and perseverance and great tools! I have never subscribed to ANYONE and have NO social media, but my gratitude was overwhelming me. So THANK YOU

I had a condenser motor (GE) that was making a horrible squeaky sound a few months ago. I hit it with a ton of white lithium grease, but knew that I was on borrowed time with it. After getting a quote from an HVAC company for $1400 to replace, I bought the same model I had but new for $185. I was able to use this video to easily replace the now dead one and was back up and running within an hour. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU DO. You make a huge difference for people.

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.

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

[darrenmcquerrey]

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.

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.

Excellent detailed instruction video! I replaced both my 1/10hp fan motor and capacitor yesterday myself in about 1 hour total after picking up the parts locally which were a little higher than ordering from Amazon ($192 vs $120). Originally, I was trying to locate the exact fan motor by model number, but the supply company told me they just needed to match the horsepower, RPMs, and voltage. I am sure I saved at least $500 or more doing this myself. Great video. I subscribed and as I have time, I want to watch your other videos to fix and troubleshoot stuff

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.

[billeverett]

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!

[loufernandez]

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.

[michellekane]

So well done! From the perfect video instructions to the side tips and cat toy 🐟
Thank you for taking the mystery out of this repair project that lets me and others save a bunch of 💵 ❣️

[cflivinadream]

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!

[waynedoty]

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

[mackenziepullam]

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!

[delluser]

Jay you have the best camera work, best way of explaining things and best project management.

Anything to promote you and your channel...

Is the least I can do. Thank you.

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.

[joannecalabrese]

We can't thank you enough for your video tutorial - so easy to follow and saved us $660. We were able to order and repair the fan motor in 20 minutes. Thank you!!!!

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.
