Very Very Good Explanation. I called the guy that I usually use. He didn't return my call. I did it myself with your great explanation Thank You so much.
I watched seven different men tried to tell me how to do this And I watched you Who taught me how to do this It actually worked Nothing the other guys said was anything like what she said and it made so much sense and it was so easy Thank you
I don’t, she literally repeated the same shit over and over what could of been a simple 2 minute video was a 7min. This is why women suck at these things.
I use 120 volts ac for 1 phase motors. I got run at fan of the capacitor to 120 of the contact output and common from the motor to the other side of the contact . And I put my start winding from the motor to common of the capacitor. Very good results and readings!
I couldn't help but notice, the old motor is an 8-Pole, designed to turn the fan ~820 RPM. The replacement motor is a 6-Pole motor, intended to run the fan closer to 1,070 RPM. The torque required to turn the fan increases on the square of the increase speed, multiplied by the RPM, thus, the power requirement goes up on the CUBE of the increase in fan speed. If the increased speed is needed for the extra air flow, the new motor needs to have at least double the horsepower rating!
You said never change your HP but sometimes when factory OEM motors supersede they change HP without changing the fan blade. I see this happen all the time with Goodman and Trane fan motors.
Yes, they do sometimes change the HP on factory motors. I've seen that on both Trane and Carrier units. I think honestly it isn't an issue until you jump two or more up. So, say, going from a 1/8 to a 1/4 is not a good practice and would cause some amp draw issues.
thanks for covering the 4 wire motor. I take it the oval capacitor non-polarity is used on 4 wire the round c,herm,motor is used on the 3wire motor? Are they interchangeable if so, how would that look like? Thank you for your time and knowledge

The Vevor 1/4hp 1100rpm condenser fan motor I received is a ball-bearing motor, not the troublesome bronze oilite sleeve bearings. Unfortunately, vevor drilled (and then installed rubber plugs) drain holes in the top, not bottom. That's how I found it's a ball bearing motor, while dissassembling and drilling drain holes in the bottom.
So with those, it's a hard plastic that I normally have to remove with a box cutter under the lip of the rounded plastic and pop it off. They are a pain to remove!
This is one the best presentations I have seen on this so far. Pace and explanation very details. in my case I bought a replacement condenser motor fan, which came harnessed so I have to clip the ends in order to connect it to my capacitor and contractor. However I have 4 wires : Black, Purple, Green-Yellow and Red. The. original motor was Black, Purple, Brown and Green. I am assuming the Red and Brown are same, is that correct ? I was not able to find and reference online.
Day 4 still no help from vevor. I have a reversible fan motor that has an extra yellow with green stripe wire with a loop screw connector. It comes out of the motor hole with the two reversible wires and connector. Can anyone help with this. Where do you connect that yellow wire?
It's a ground wire. The motors from Vevor are not made to spec or standard for HVAC in the US. We ordered one to look at, it didn't have weep holes on the shaft side (it'll hold water and die quickly when it rains/sweats), the windings are THIN, and they run off roller-skate bearings.
I have the exact motor you have in this video (4 wire), but I dont have a seperate capacitor, just 1 capacitor for comp/fan. so I am unsure how to hook my 4-wire motor up, the one coming off is only 3 wire. :( I have Black/White and then I have Brown and Brown+White Stripe. The verbiage on the optional 3 wire connection is exactly what it is on your unit, but it doesnt make sense to me
on most universal fan motors.....you can tape off the brown and white striped wire and use the other one...that is solid brown...,as a three wire...as long as the dual capicator you have matches the mf...of the new motor,,,,,
@@charlesjackson9602 so is that to say that if the mf on fan motor doesnt match the dual capacitors mf thats where the need for the 2nd smaller capacitor comes in?
Hi, For my fan motor, I have white, black, Orange or red, purple, purple with white dashes... The wires that appear to be purple you are calling brown. I have either a red or orange cable... Where does that go?
I wouldn't be able to tell you without having a wiring diagram. Colors are really sketchy things to go by, but from what I can tell it sounds like you have a 2-speed condenser motor. You can check our other video we recently uploaded that breaks it down further. Usually red indicates low speed and black indicates high speed. Again, I am not going to tell you which is correct because I do not have a diagram of where your original wires go. Try this video, hopefully it will help. Let us know if you have any other questions! th-cam.com/video/rAExHb7doLs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uNhvIS_1a44goUPQ
Jeez, I wish TH-cam would always alert me when someone asks a question. Sorry I wasn't able to answer this for you right away. Color can vary from brand-to-brand, so you would need to check the wiring diagram. Most, but not all, use a black wire from the motor to the contactor. However, not all of them do that. It's really important to check how they are labeled. If the wire goes to something other than the motor you would need to trace it back to the source.
Hook it up to the old capacitor the same way it was with the previous motor and make sure that your old capacitor is still good. Just pay attention to the wiring diagram and if you aren't sure if your old capacitor is good or do not have a way to check it then it is good practice to replace both the new motor and capacitor at the same time.
That happens often. It's usually older units that people replace what they have on their truck. A good way to find out is look up your model number online and take a look at the parts list. I've seen so many incorrect installs of motors and capacitors because people will just throw crap in there not realizing that those numbers mean something. I've heard, "but it's been running that way for x amount of years." Yes, I'm sure it has and probably overamping which shortens the life of the motor and the capacitor. So, could have gotten a longer life on the motor and lowered the energy bills if it would have been done right.
i wish all the universal condenser fan motors would add length to reversing leads. so you can reverse in cabinet...or do another way instead just hanging....it annolying and hard to place.the reversing leads...especialy when they are opposite the main wire leads...i seen contractors strap them to conderser sharpe edges...vents...and short out...looks bad too..
Ok the confusing part. Is u don't already have 1 leg of power hooked up with the compressor. Ur video without sound u o ly have 1 leg of power to the fan
You mean while discussing the reversing leads - the wires made specifically for changing the rotation of the motor, I should have mentioned reversing leads again? Get your hearing checked.

You feel my pain then. Hard to find info on a 1979 carrier compact
Very good presentation. Thanks so much.
Nice clear explanation. Thanks for posting the information.
I love to see a woman doing this kind of work. I hardly see a woman out there in the field for Hvac industry.

That means the capacitor is between start and run of the motor.
I liked that it helped me out a lot thank you very much
Hey great video.
Very clear.
What about motor drain plugs.
I couldn't help but notice, the old motor is an 8-Pole, designed to turn the fan ~820 RPM. The replacement motor is a 6-Pole motor, intended to run the fan closer to 1,070 RPM. The torque required to turn the fan increases on the square of the increase speed, multiplied by the RPM, thus, the power requirement goes up on the CUBE of the increase in fan speed.

@jollyscaria1922 huh?
Yo retype this you look drunk. @jollyscaria1922

Universal motor drain plug on bottom end is not just a plug I can remove it’s some kind of hardened resin.
Do I need to remove this?
So with those, it's a hard plastic that I normally have to remove with a box cutter under the lip of the rounded plastic and pop it off. They are a pain to remove!

It's 8:11. The video I watched didn't tell me where the wires coming out of the motor goes
This video is only 7 minutes and 10 seconds long.
So how about if the specifications on old motor dont match the specifications on the unit specifications then what???
That happens often. It's usually older units that people replace what they have on their truck. A good way to find out is look up your model number online and take a look at the parts list.

I agree! The only brand I've come across that does that is a private label wagnor motor from Rheem.
I only have one single capacitor, why?
😊
Ok the confusing part. Is u don't already have 1 leg of power hooked up with the compressor. Ur video without sound u o ly have 1 leg of power to the fan
I don't want that dream
Real
confussing
You said if the fan is going the wrong direction, "just change two wires", but you didn't say which wires or how to change them.
NOT HELPFUL.
You mean while discussing the reversing leads - the wires made specifically for changing the rotation of the motor, I should have mentioned reversing leads again? Get your hearing checked.
Buttons 😂
Worst video 12 minutes talk nothing understand 😡
