Carrier made an awesome RV roof air conditioner, they just didn’t do it for long. As soon as they stopped making them, the parts became obsolete. This AC has a fan motor that just hums when you turn it on. Can I get it running without any parts?

You are a genius Kenny. Too bad you don’t have an apprentice anymore. Your knowledge and experience needs to be passed on to the next generation. 🙂✝

I am leaving my knowledge on RU-vid for everyone for as long as RU-vid wants to leave it there.

@billhillegass946 Месяц назад

FAN TASTIC . I remember when the old generators had a spring loaded cap . Where you could add a drop of oil to the bearings. That’s when things were built to last .

@hillbillyrv Месяц назад

That was OLD school. They build stuff to fail now.

@TheBuddy1939 Месяц назад

Ok, you make my life easy. Things are not that difficult “if the right person helps” keep up the great work.

@KevinCoop1 Месяц назад

Well done Sir! WD 40 was invented in 1953 for NASA to keep the Atlas rockets from corroding. So, had that motor been sprayed with WD40 inside, it probably would not of had the problem. WD 40 is not silicone. It is not a lubricant because it dissipates.

@hillbillyrv Месяц назад

Thank you. Most people want to argue with me when I say it is not a lubricant.

@KevinCoop1 Месяц назад

@@hillbillyrv You are both correct! Water is a lubricant used in the right place. It just goes away, like WD40. So, it is a temporary lubricant, not a long lasting one. All I know is, if you spray it on the inside of your lawn mower deck every spring, you will not have all that grass stuck to it that rusts out the deck. And 2000 other uses.

@craigjohnson3603 Месяц назад

Good video, I agree with you on the WD. I stored my classic car years ago and sprayed the Cragar mags and a mechanic chewed me out and said do you want your wheels to rust? I then quit using it. In spring they were rusty. I now use power lube or anything else with oil in it. But it always triggers comments on YT.😂

@hillbillyrv Месяц назад

@@craigjohnson3603 A lot of things trigger people. It is kinda funny.

@travistucker8823 Месяц назад

Kenny, Carrier is now Bryant (FYI) They might make a replacement motor for future use! This is a common problem in the Marine (boat) business (humidity). Great job!

@hillbillyrv Месяц назад

I didn’t realize there was a Bryant RV AC.

@criticaltemperature3343 Месяц назад

It's the other way around. Bryant is a sister company to Carrier. So is Payne. Carrier is the "flag ship" product line. Same as Lincoln is a division of Ford, Cadillac and Chevrolet.

@BruceBarrick-cv8rt Месяц назад

Haha! you can tell this ain't your first rodeo. Been around the block a few times. this is from yrs of experience. I work HVAC and have seen dozens of techs give up on a fan after a few tries with anti seize or PB blaster and condemn the fan motor before the oil has had time to do its thing. Your are a top notch tech Kenny! Heck I'd pay you just to come ride with you a couple of days and be your gopher/helper. Lol! Would be a great learning experience.

That is what it felt like. Holy crap. I didn’t know if that thing was going to ever free up.

@randylester1219 Месяц назад

Excellent diagnosis, hoping it's a lasting fix. Wondering if there's a replacement for the fan motor from another supplier? If nothing is compatible, I'm guessing that old of a unit is toast. 👍

@hillbillyrv Месяц назад

It will be ok this year probably. Next spring might be a different story. As far as I know no one made any parts for those things.

@jonnyrockets4756 Месяц назад

I believe if you could get all the motor info you may be able to find a motor somewhere. But you would need all the dimensions as well, would be a pain.

@hillbillyrv Месяц назад

Yes. Big pain

@douglasmayherjr.5733 Месяц назад

Another great video Kenny. I’m about 95% sure that that’s a common motor in the HVAC industry. Depending on the voltage which should be 115 V and RPM of the motor that in the frame size should get you a replacement that would work if it comes down to it, thanks for the video. Have a great day.

@hillbillyrv Месяц назад

Maybe

@HoustonRoad Месяц назад

My Coleman Mach is starting to do this. Fan’s not putting out much air. Back ac fan was replaced under warranty, of course the front dies just as the warranty ended. Time to get the ladder lol.

Nice video. Pucker factor with the spongy roof. Like walking on thin ice. As an owner I'd be way more concerned about that discovery.

He was very concerned. He had been on the roof recently and didn't notice it. I can't believe he didn't fall through.

@jonnyrockets4756 Месяц назад

Agree with you on the fact the they made a great unit, out performed every one else. Installed several of them back in the day. I like those products like krown, here in western ny, I use Rust cote, works great. Good job.

@hillbillyrv Месяц назад

They were great, just weren’t in it for the long haul.

@laundrymanadams6105 Месяц назад

A carrier motor should have a CW or CC on that label but then the question is, is that looking from the rear or front hmmm, I alway looked from the rear. A trick I used once, is use compressed air and blow the fan, saves the fingers. But another great job my friend.

@hillbillyrv Месяц назад

I don’t think compressed air would not have moved that one.

I run into a lot of soft roofs. I keep several pieces of luan panels cut to get all around the AC. seams every time i try the lube the shaft, it works for a few days and the temperature drops and it shuts off for an extended period and will not restart. Thanks for the video.

Would it help to prevent this problem if we were to run our air conditioner fan during the off season once in a while?

@jeffsteele1295 Месяц назад

Question Kenny please my 2007 class A motorhome used a Sur Flo 4048-53-E75 water pump . This is a 4.0 GPM 12V pump. I'm looking for a replacement the cost of the 4048 is like $229 ouch . I have seen the Sea Flo 51 for around $119.00 a lot better on price. I like the fact at low volume out of the facet is doesn't seem to cycle off and on. Seems to be quit as well since its in basement under our bed area. The psi is 60 on the 51 and 45psi on the Sur Flo older bad pump on the motorhome now. The 4048 is 4.0 GPM and the 51 is 5.5 GPM . Do you think the increase pressure will be a problem ? While I do have plex tubing I'm sure the connectors are plastic.

@hillbillyrv Месяц назад

The pressure might cause an issue, but it is not a lot more so maybe it will be ok.

@jeffsteele1295 Месяц назад

@@hillbillyrv I will look on your site first. Thinking 45psi would be better . Just want to have good pressure at the shower head . Thanks as always Jeff

@lorenrickey5481 Месяц назад

Sounds like a starting capacitor is bad? Is there one in the motor or on the frame?

@hillbillyrv Месяц назад

Nope. It was stuck.

@criticaltemperature3343 Месяц назад

If it's a bad start cap, when he spins it it would start up. This is a bound/stuck motor. Best solution is to replace it. That spray oil won't last long. I've done it, just to go back and replace it a week later.

Would it help prevent this if we run the air conditioner motor during the off-season once in a while?
