What do bearing numbers mean? It's explained here electricalfundablog.com/identify-bearing-number-calculation-nomenclature/ 6 = Deep groove single ball bearing 2 = Light duty 02 = bore diameter 15 mm (about 5/8") From hours of research about a/c bearings I've learned that most window and wall air conditioner bearings are 6202 for larger units (larger motor with 15mm shaft) and 6201 for smaller units (smaller motor with 12mm shaft).
Thanks so much for doing the research for us just wish I knew what size shaft is on my GE 8,000 BTU so I can order the right bearings before disassembling it because I am using it right now as my central air puts out no cold air since using it on 113 degree days for a week
Brilliant video... just ripped apart my 15 year old Frigidaire with plans to oil the bearings as a temporary fix until I ordered new ones. I'm super handy, appliances, cars, motorcycles and as a result I got "cocky", didn't trace my re-wiring steps and connected the blue wire to the wrong terminal on the board and fried the board and capacitor in the process....oh well. Haste makes waste folks... take pics along the way
Sorry to hear that. I believe the schematic is on the inside of the outer case or on the side of the unit with the case off... (Not that it helps now...)
@@royberry7585 Spot on Roy (THANKS), there is a schematic on the inside of the case and the blue wiring was really all that could get you confused as the terminals into the board are so close together in a cramped space. Since I replaced the unit, I kept the old one to "play", and I think the board can be replaced and the capacitor is toast, so now its a matter of sourcing these 15 year old parts, and shipping and bla bla bla, it just would not be practical being in the middle of summer sadly. A second lesson learned is that these units should be opened periodically for cleaning, as I never opened it for 15 years and could not believe the amount of black mold on the foam housing which is ultimately blowing those spores into your room when you run the AC.. it was shocking!!!
Thank you for this video. We have an Arctic King. Last year we dealt with the noise. We called it the diesel engine. You saved me hundreds. The bearings were only a few dollars. It was surprisingly easy as well. Thank you again.
Glad you found it helpful. I think it was like 2-3 AM when I made that video. I had the parts and finally "lost my cool" so I fixed it. Most but not all air conditioners can be repaired in the same way.
Glad to have assisted. Doing well. Dealt with a divorce that was a major "informer of legal reality" and have made the proper choices to never lose half my stuff again.
cleaned the armature and put it in the freezer to shrink it so bearings went on much easier.did not disconnect wires on motor.and did the job. thanks for the vid.
I just had mine...same model, taken apart and got it pretty clean. Was really dirty in the coils. Only way to clean it good was to take out the fan housing. Mine sounds like it's gonna take off. Worse than yours. The think is almost 14yo, but some new bearings, it'll be like knew!! Great vid! Thanks!!
Also, if you happen to accidentally get it stuck with the screen setup for Celsius, I believe you press the temp up and down or the fan up and down at the same time to put it back to Fahrenheit. Do it from the front, not the remote (I no longer have this model, not sure if it had one...)
@@TheWizechatmgr I think we still have the remote. That capacitor worries me though. Just never knew they had one. I'll at least let it sit over night before I screw with the wires. Date on my AC is Nov 06. Do you still have yours? The only difference in the model numbers is, mine is a P1A. Cooler fan is cream colored.
Thank you so so much!! I have a much smaller model but your step by step disassembly was incredibly helpful. Thanks for the note about the reverse threading on the back fan. After scouring the internet I decided to buy some rubber sealed skateboard bearings. They were like a buck each. My AC was disgusting because I’ve never fully disassembled it before so couldn’t reach in some areas. Thanks to your good instructions the noise level is acceptable again and I’m not quite so afraid to fix electrical motors. Frigidaire wanted $150 for a new motor. No thanks. $2 is much better. It’s a window ac after all.
@@TheWizechatmgr Can I ask you why the Capacitor is a little hazardous? I removed the screws holding the plastic housing and then realized the fan motor has bunch of coloured wires running to the capacitor. They need to be disconnected for me to remove fan motor obviously.Obviously the power cord is disconnected from the power outlet. Do I mark each wire so I know where each is connected to the Capacitor. I’m a little afraid to touch those wires.
@@heyoou it can carry enough current that if discharged through you could stop your heart, killing you. Yes, I'd take a picture of the capacitor connections before removing them. You can run an insulated screw driver across the capacitor terminals to discharge it before you work to make the process a bit safer.
Thanks for the video, it was right on with the bearing service. I was able to source the bearings at a McGuire bearing supply house for $8 each in Portland, OR. They were easy to remove from the shaft and to replace. The new bearings are Japanese but appear to be identical to the Chinese made product that failed after just two years of very light service. The job was tedious but worthwhile.
Yeah, it isn't for those unwilling to just say screw it and go all in. I was so glad they were replaceable when I pulled it apart. I believe I recorded that at like 2 AM in the morning after getting totally fed up with it.
Cleaning the AC is the usual cause of bearings needing replacement. Those top bracket screws usually don't need to removed because they merely screw into the case.
Depends on where one lives. I live in the great northeast so just the temperature changing during the day into evening tends to kill these bearings after a couple years due to humidity entering the bearing.
Mine started making noise after 2 years. That was 3 years ago. After replacing with quality parts it's been great ever since. Manufacturers using cheap bearings should be a crime.
When I do a service calls for these little units, I always replace the cheap rust prone OEM steel and tin screws for some stainless steel ones, that way, when your customers call you to come clean their unit. It’s a breeze disassembling them. The tools I use: a drill (just in case I have to break screws), long-ass Craftsman Phillips screwdriver (for the fan assembly screws holding it down on the pan), a small hammer (for the squirrel cage fan wheel & condenser fan slinger stuck on the fan motor shaft), grease (for bearings and squirrel cage wheel & condenser fan slinger shaft mounting), a set of easy out bits (for those rust worn, and stubborn screws that your screwdriver can no longer loosen), and last but not least, a long-ass Bosch drill bit extension (you might need it to break some hard to reach, rust-worn screws, on the bottom of the ac pan.
My Crosby got the same set up. It's been Motor boating about 4 years now after it got left on for a summer ( the entire summer) once. Pretty sure it's having the same problem, can hear it 5 blocks down if turned on high, not as bad outside on low.
It seems that all newer window shakers with ball bearing fan motors have this issue, I have seen/heard them start to growl at the start of the 2nd season after storage so
Yeah, sadly a very common issue. A lot of the time people haven't mounted them correctly which puts added strain on the bearing. Shouldn't be this way, but it is.
I'm not sure about the angle thing, while yes many are mounted wrong causing other issues like poor drainage and the condenser slinger not working, remember that ceiling fans have vertical shafts with the same type of sealed bearings and they are usually fine for many years.
Great video, very informative and I have a Frigidaire Model# FFWW123WBE 12,000 BTU A/C window unit and it got noisy recently. I live by beachside here in Florida so rust is a big problem. Definitely I have the same problem with the bearings. My question is where can I get the replacement bearings for it? Would appreciate your advise. Thanks.
Amazing my 50 year old chambers ac unit has 0 issues but my neighbors 10 year old fridgeidaire electrolux has extremely bad bearings in the exterior fan motor.. .says slot about build quality
I am totally unsure. Best way of finding out would be to tear that model down and inspect the bearings. The bearings used aren't unique - they're often used for other purposes including skate boards. As you can likely guess, very few, if any, manufacturers provide bearing replacement information because they'd much rather sell you an entire fan motor assembly. I think the total cost of replacing the bearings was $10, not including the time it took me.
mine sounding awfull now, has to be the bearings just like yours, its a frigidaire also. i oiled it once without pulling the motor and was quiet for while and back noisey . just gonna wait till end season and replace them since you showed how to pull that motor, were you get those bearings at. thanks
Basically a crescent or box wrench after you pull the condenser and evaporators out of the way. They usually aren't on there mega-tight but I would recommend some blue locktite just in case.

@@XMguy I believe I pulled them out and measured them at the time, the actual ones I used were in the video. Two x 6202 2RSJEM from the 2:25 Time code. I bought them through VXB bearings online, they were made by SKF.
I'm trying to pull apart the motor. I've unscrewed the different screws on the outside and cracked it open but now I can't actually get the two parts separated to replace the bearings. so how did you actually separate the two halves of the motor?
there are half disk like things on the outsides of the spindle that the fly wheel and fan sit flush against when the motor is mounted. But I can't get the two halves over these disk like things to separate the two parts.
Sounds like the bearings aren't coming out happily. If it were me, I'd give the shaft a gentle hit with a hammer to see if they decide to move. If you can't get it apart, it may be that the motor is just too far gone and a replacement may be your only option.
thanks the bearings work perfectly. But the room temperature settings are saying the ambient temperature is actually now about 10 degrees colder than it actually is. so I think I somehow mislocated the internal thermometer when I reassembled the unit. any ideas where this thermometer is actually located internally so I can relocate ?
Trying to find a place that sells the fan bearing . I'm having no luck though . I have a frigdeare 5,000 BTU MODEL FAX054P7A and the places I called want to sell me the motor for 167 which I can go and buy the AC for . Do you have any appliance stores or places you can recommend.Great vid
The bearings were marked or I measured them with a caliper. I sourced them locally. I've dealt with failed bearings in other applications so I knew what I was hearing...
I have the same problem with my window ac. It is the same brand but a different model (FFRE10L3Q16). Is there any way to get the part number for these bearings only with the model number? How did you find out the part number in your case? I don't think that is the same bearing for all theses ACs. Please could you help me with my issue? I'll appreciate. Thanks!
I ripped the motor apart and measured the bearings. If you remove them then any industrial supply place should be able to match them. Worse case scenario you lose the blower and the noise with it and have to replace the blower. Sometimes you can get it quiet for a little bit by removing the bearings and re-greasing them - but this won't last too long.
+David barrientos You should be able to find them at any place that sells bearings to industry. You can also likely order them online. Be careful with installation and reassembly of the motor because if you set that back together wrong you can be electrocuted. I have purchased bearings from VXB.com for other projects and never had an issue.

BenFreemanDC a couple of screw hold the motor together, then you feed the wires mostly into it and it should come free.

@@randomvids9507 depending on who you ask and when, folks likely think that about my place. I am not home part of the week. We all have hidden things we're dealing with. In my case I'm bankrupt, down to my last dollars and going through a divorce. My yard is the least of my worries =)
Here's a perfect video that shows the a/c motor, how to take it apart and how to remove/replace the bearings.

Awesome contribution, thanks!
My ac has a loud humming sound. How can I fix it?
Does it blow any air? If not, the blower motor may need a quick push. If it is blowing air, the compressor may have issues.
TheWizechatmgr I throw it out and bought a new. It sounds like a water fall taking place inside.
I wish you would be more literate not use vulgar terms to describe things couldn't watch it for the end
But if I did that, you wouldn't have anything to comment on =)
Does that bearing fit on all fridgidaire AC?
I don't believe so. You'd have to take it apart to verify. Unfortunately I only have two AC units, and the other isn't a Frigidaire.
