Variable Speed ECM Blower Motor Go No Go Diagnostic Test No Special Tools Required! HVAC Training

In this service call I'm diagnosing a bad variable speed blower ECM Blower motor on a Trane XV95 furnace using the go no go test. There is a special tool they make for this process but all you need is a piece of thermostat wire to get the job done!

I do residential maintenance work every still I like to watch these kinds of videos

[@HVACTechKnowledgy]

Nice👍

[@zahedaminullah6934]

Good work, also remember to tell the customer to stop using restrictive filters, this will make the motor go bad as well.

[@HVACTechKnowledgy]

Thanks! Great point👍

[@thesilentonevictor]

Good troubleshooting

[@HVACTechKnowledgy]

thanks!

[@Paul-jz2cv]

great video, my name is Paul, i'm curious, this is an ecm 2.3 correct? if so am I correct that this method would only work for the ecm 2.3 model variable speed motor?

[@dmiestercommkitchentech3043]

Supco ECM test module would have been faster and easier than how you did it its just a plug on molex plug too and if it runs then harness if it didn't then motor easy peasy

[@HVACTechKnowledgy]

oh yeah, I actually have one of those supco testers as well I just wanted to show people how to do it without the tool. Appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching!

[@dmiestercommkitchentech3043]

Why not show both ways with tool and without then let the viewer decide which way is better for them.

[@user-su5ft8lc9q]

I thought it was to STOP A TRANE
What's is going on.

Nobody has that much time on a call to be done all that and no service manager is going to let you spend all that time is money
