Avid subscriber here. I just have a question about blower motor. Is an FLA rating of 4.4 Amp better than 5.1 A? My web search says the 4.4 Amp is more energy efficient but the 5.1 Amp might be more suitable for a bigger system. What about the typical residential use case, would a 4.4 Amp suffice? Thanks!
@WordofAdviceTV
@WordofAdviceTV 5 месяцев назад
@@charlietango3774 That is not too big of a difference so you would probably not even notice the difference in efficiency or performance. If possible, replace the motor with whatever FLA you currently have in there. But yes, a 4.4 would work just fine either way. 👍

My furnace stopped working and had no idea what was wrong. After watching twelve of your videos, I was able to replace the gas valve, which was the main problem, but also replace hot surface ignitor, replace air filter, clean burners, clean flame sensor, and troubleshoot the parts using a multimeter! You saved me hundreds of dollars but more importantly you taught me how to troubleshoot my furnace!

i once helped a friend with her furnace. She said it would come on and shut off within 5 minutes and that she never felt any air coming out of her registers. I asked when was the last time she changed the filter. Just 2 days ago she replied and added that all of the troubles began at the same time. AHA! I had a definite idea what happened and proceeded to the basement to test. Yep, she left the filter in its plastic wrapping! She had no idea that she should peel that off before installation. No charge but she gave me $10 for my trouble and thanked me profusely when the furnace kicked up properly again.

Great video. Was in HVAC business myself; I'd add that often times in heavy snow on a 90% furnace the PVC intake may be plugged. A person CAN test pressure switches etc but if you live in snow country check that flirst. Maybe don't even need a ton of snow; maybe careless snowblower usage gets intake covered. Easy to correct.

after changing out my capacitor/ cleaning my temp probe, checking my inducer fan motor and cleaning it, checking my pressure switch and vac line/ and putting a drill bit in the inducer fan housing pressure hole, swearing a few times/ watching your video a number of times it boiled down to #10 my lower door switch was loosy goosy. 90% broken. I had to wait two weeks for a new one as they were out of stock online, received it, and it turned out to be just a standard cheap switch with a larger on-off button on it. The old one had a wobbly push-rod affair on it and the contact wasn't always being made. I temporarily put an adjustable clamp on it till I got the new door switch. Maybe the door switch should be moved from the #10 spot to #1 in the pecking order. lol Thank you so much. I learned how that beast in the basement actually works/ or doesn't work.

Outstanding. Middle-aged guy here who has never subscribed to a RU-vid channel before. N-e-v-e-r. But I'm subscribed to this one now. I figured my gas valve was bad at 1:00am after peering behind the furnace cover with exterior temperatures plunging close to 30F and interior temps dropping. You described my problem very concisely in about 15 seconds: Thermostat calls for heat, inducer spins up, igniter heats up, nothing happens, valve solenoid clicks to close, inducer spins down. It appears the valve never opens. Thanks!!

These furnace vids are great. A year ago Christmas Eve my living room was 40° because my furnace would not stay running. This type of How-To video, One ignitor and one pressure switch later my furnace was working again. The price I paid for the two parts would not have paid for the service call. Christmas Eve 2017 fell on a Sunday. I don't even want to think what that would have cost me..

I bought a house that had been sitting for two years. I paid to have my furnace fixed twice. The third time the guy would not show. I found your video and fixed it myself. Then it broke a month later. That time I was stumped and had a new furnace guy come. He showed me some more pointers. Then a month later it broke again. I can attest that a LOT of water comes out of that condensate tubes when the that's the problem. Today my furnace is giving issues yet again. Pretty soon I will have completely replaced it! I've fixed this myself with the help of your videos. I could have have afforded to pay for all these repairs without your videos. THANKS! On the top ten, I've have six of them!

We installed our first ever propane furnace a few years ago, and were having problems keeping up to the cold weather this year, for the first time. We've always had oil FHA and burned wood in the past. The first two items in this Top Ten video were the two that were causing our problems. Our installer has avoided us, and there are few service techs in our area, so this is a life saver! Maybe not a life saver, but certainly super helpful! Thank you!

O. McKenzie Just WoW!!! McKenzie, You just hit the nail right on the head, which Btw, is a helluva lot easier to do with an actual "Carpenters Framing Hammer" which has a machined in crosshatched hammerhead, longer handle resulting in actual "swing/striking power = what's required to sink "Real Nails" with 3 swings rather than the usual 10 or more when using the standard "hammer" that 99% of us must have acquired from somewhere, somehow at sometime or other (usually can't recall, didn't know that question was going to be on the test, LoL) and is kept in the "junk drawer". See, there's the connection staring you right in the face, LoL. Bet the shortest distance between common sense and reality is "Junk Drawer/Trash Can"?!? Romfflmmfaoooo... We may all be a Lil bit odd but it's kinda sorta "cute" in a strange way HuH, LoL?!? None of us are actually strangers... Well, not much stranger than anyone/everyone else really?!? Oh Btw, my original point was that while I couldn't hear said it better myself, turn it into a 3 inch thick Paperback Novel as Short Stories really aren't my thing obviously lmaooo, rather than the typical "How To's, Why? Just Because..." Vids are now or should be, a thing of the past thanks to KIDS "WHY TO & HOW" Videos!?! Even while saying that he didn't want to spend too much and/or anymore time on any one topic (and he really didn't, he somehow managed to keep everything moving quite surprisinly along but at the same time sending 100X+ more actual "REAL" information out to literally The Entire World). Hell, if every single person only walked away with one piece, everyone has now actually SEEN WHY, not just TOLD (Once Again As Always) to change the Filter (just because). Many people probably think technicians get some kind of kick-back from 3M for every Furnace Filter sold or something, LoL. Hey... Bottom Line here is... IT'S MY IDEA DON'T FORGET! I THOUGHT OF iT FIRSt!!! BAAÀAAAAHAHA... HAH!!! *Peace* And Brightest Blessings Always \,,/ ROCK \,,/

My furnace went out two days ago, and I found you on YT and did the diagnostics as you suggested. I narrowed the problem down to the ignitor; it wasn't cracked, but I couldn't test it as I don't own a meter. So, I figured, what the hey, I'll go ahead and buy one, which I did (on Amazon), and try it out before calling a technician. Well, the new igniter just arrived a few minutes ago, and I switched the new one out for the old in record time....AND, WE HAVE LIFTOFF!! Thank you SOOO much, Jay...you're a great instructor, and I saved a bunch of money at a time when I need to hang onto every dollar. Dude, you ROCK!!!!

You are a furnace god! Because of you, we have heat on New Year's Eve. For us, it was a combination of cleaning the flame sensor + fixing a drainage water trap on a Carrier Modular Variable Speed High Efficiency Furnace + a slightly damaged drainage hose that was affecting one of the pressure switches. My unit is 17 years old. I just started fixing and checking issues one by one that you provided on the list. By the time I ran through your top 10 most common issues, my furnace was back up and running smoothly and the old house is warming up nicely. Thanks for sharing your great knowledge and Happy New Year!

My furnace stopped working and I happened upon your video of the top 10 problems. I was thinking how I would be overcharged for what looked like simple fixes according to your video. You were very clear on the most common problem of a dirty flame sensor and how to fix it. My boyfriend was listening to me and did more research on his own and decided to try to fix it himself (he’s an engineer). He took the flame sensor out and we scrubbed it like you showed. It fixed the problem! My furnace is working! I attribute the success all to you and your video. Thank you so much.

I spent a bit of time over a cup off coffee and from the detailed info you provide i was able yo save us quite a bit of money just before Christmas fixing it myself for just shy of 250 bucks.Compared to the 3 times that amount estimate we had. Draft inducer was the culprit. Repairman said it needed to be rebuily due to age of heater. Yet i found cimplete unit readily avail. On Amazon for less than what he claimed for just motor... Thanks again and Merry Christmas..

Most informative DIY repair info ever. Rather than simply providing troubleshooting and solutions, ranking the repairs by frequency is a unique approach and very useful. I was looking for a failure-to-open gas valve and I have a little more troubleshooting to do to isolate to the main control board vs the ignitor control board (1990 Rheem). (It's not the safety switches or the gas valve itself.) But watching all the other possibilities (probabilities!) was really helpful. It allows us to recognize problems as they arisel, and even better, understand 'why' these problems arise in the first place.

After following where that hose went I saw the fix ...It was blocked ...after clearing the hose ...much water drained out .... working just fine .... and it is a 40 degree day here ....thanks again Ken
