My A/C Broke. Replacing Capacitor and Fan Motor on Lennox HS-29 

Glad that it helped. I always take pictures of the wires as a reminder where they go. Some fan motors have a long shaft to connect the fan and some short, like mine. "If" you do have the long shaft on your new motor you can measure the distance from the top of the shaft to the fan bolt on your old one to ensure the fan has the proper distance from the motor on the new one.

Good question! Michael, I have a couple multi-meters. The second one was my every day go-to multi-meter and it measures ohms and volts which is what I used to test my unit. However, the second multi-meter does not measure capacitors, or microfarads. I remembered, that only my Klein Tools CL700 multi-meter does and I used that to measure the microfarads in my capacitor. The Klein multi-meter is my most expensive multi-meter, about $120. But you can always pick up cheaper meters for $50 that do not have the ability to test capacitors. Yes, the more expensive multi-meter can measure everything and I recommend it if you are looking into doing this type of work in the future. The symbol for microfarads on a multi-meter is usually represented as 'uF', 'μF', or 'MFD'. I will consider creating a video on multi-meters but I don't consider myself very good using one, just a casual user.

Thank you 🤗 This coming week the temperatures are going to be way high. Now that the ac is working, no worries.

I know the feeling. Lol. Yes, ac units break all the time and the capacitor is usually the biggest problem, but in my case it was the fan. But good to know how things work. This type of work can be very expensive too.

Gracias. Si llamaba a un reparador de aire creo que iba gastar como dos mil dolares. Por eso decidi hacerlo yo mismo. El mantenimiento es muy importante en estas unidades de aire. Ojala y algun dia puedas usar esta informacion para tu aire. Saludos.

So glad! I hope this can serve you if your ac breaks. Things break all the time. If you can save a few bucks maintaining it yourself, well, that's always a good day.

Glad you enjoyed it!

You and me both!

Thank you very much!

Ojala y le pueda servir como informacion cuando necesite arreglar su aire acondicionado. Saludos.

You may be correct Derrick. I will review that clip again today and may have to remove it to avoid any discord or misinformation. Thanks.

The vast majority of HVAC folks are honest and hard working. I am reviewing the section in question about the fellow RU-vidr in California and may remove it today.
