Replace Rheem A/C condenser fan motor - NO SKILL NEEDED 

💯 in my new house after this one I moved up to a 4 ton unit and it takes way less time to cool the house it can run only 10-15 mins at a time now verses 30-45 mins at a tike before (know this by Nest App)

didn't cut off the excess fan blade shaft (which can prematurely ruin your new fan motor) - how?? The original one had the same 8" shaft with the fan mounted in the middle. Worked OK for 20 years. Also a 220V 50MFD hvac capacitor doesn't have enough power to kill a human...

How so?

It's from the perspective of how you would see it while you are mounting it, i.e. from the bottom.

Nikolai Primelles excellent to hear!!

Better call a skilled hvac technician to properly diagnose the problems with your a/c unit. Before you start changing parts, or hurting yourself.

+James Hightower clueless dude dont call it a rip off when you dont have a clue! so do you complain this much about pricing that reputable other places charge ie your cost of food and alcohol? how about your nails? cup of coffee at starbucks /DD ? how about washing your car vs bringing it in?do you know what it really cost for products you buy off the shelf? does MacDonalds tell you the $4 hamburger costs a $1 to make?all cost about 3 times up to 50 times more than you can make or do at your own house? you going to buy chickens and cows now and DIY that?would you have known it was the ac motor and or capacitor had it not been for the professional diagnosing it? good for you you did it yourself? professionals charge a price thats fair to them and hopefully adds value while they are there letting you know other issues and gets it done for those who do not want to diy or can not.. 350 is not over priced for a replacement motor, if it were 500-700 which i know some flat rate price books have in it as a profit margin for super large companys to operate. again kudos and great you do it yourself but dont rip into and overpricing an gouging while you are in a public forum when you dont take into consideration what it costs for gas, maintenance , and vehicle costs just to get to each persons home, than cost not only to get a licence but carry vehicle and contractors insurance, pull permits, training, tools, overhead(untilities/advertising/websites/employees etc) and not only the cost of the parts and equipment but procuring them and then restocking them, they dont just suddenly appear in our hands and we just dont suddenly have free labor to put them in.. so lets try and be a little more happy you did this and helped another but at the same time not be a total tool putting down reputable contractors..some people are clueless..

It's from the bottom, which is how you are going to see the fan blade while you are mounting on it. You can see in the video he mounted it clockwise from the bottom.

Your brown and white wire is common inside the motor which means you don't need to use if you motor had on 3 wires, so cap it off and zip tie inside box. Then you can hook it up the same way it was from factory with two separate start un capacitors.

Not sure about your location but normally the HVAC guys have a shop around town they buy their parts like ABC Supply www.abcsupply.com/

Cool idea

Sorry I sold that house years ago I apologize I cannot help you more than that.

actually I never did.... I sold that house like 2 years ago and I bet to this day its still "hanging out"

runs like a champ no problems whatsoever since the day I put in the fan motor. thanks

Perhaps he's in a low to no humidity region?

The correct drain plug appeared to be removed, just not shown being removed.

@@brockshields9336... oh, I see, you made a funny. Because he's in Florida..! Muy humid.

@anthonybonino6886 sorry I recorded this many years ago I since moved from this house

@@FireStone_Vids thanks for the quick reply!

He took it to Home Depot. They removed the 4 pegs on the motor for him.

If you can’t read a wiring diagram you shouldn’t be working on electrical equipment

@@tjwicks2283 to make an effective video you have to speak and illustrate. Show and Tell. Not tell and no show. It will be useless and ineffective so no reason for the video at all unless you just like hearing yourself talk

If you like I can take a picture of my wiring and email it to you.

Bradley Boggs please email me a pic of your wiring

I know this is an old video. But can you send me a pic of your wiring ? I'm getting ready to do this on the exact same unit. Thank you

Have you tried a company like ABC Supply.com I think they are nationwide

Chris B he's a hack

derrick owens I am not a professional too but that something i would have done different if i was to do the same thing i would at least made the wiring look a little more neat then others that just letting the capacitors sit there not secured

Well I am a professional so people putting videos like this on RU-vid gives us guys a bad name and potentially puts other home owners in danger to themselves or to their equipment if you are not trained don't do it that's the bottom line

A homeowner that knows a little about wiring could likely do it probably saves them some money as well because not saying you but there are HVAC techs out there that are more there for the money then the repair or just wants to sell you a new system when it's not needed this is what might give you a more of a bad name then anything else however anyone that dose the repair them self's put's it on RU-vid need to at least they need to put a disclaimer on there videos stating the that this repair is at their own risk act and judgement and that if in doubt get some out to do it then, that way you not going to get a bad rap over it if someone dose a stupid thing

+derrick owens I've had at least 3 HVAC repair people work on my Reem Corsaire unit and every time the capacitor has been left hanging inside the main panel. When I asked the last one about it he said that since no wire ends were exposed it should be fine once the panel cover is secured.

+Megan Keith that's is the wrong way of doing all capacitors have to be secured what if someone bumped into your unit and that capacitor jumped around or something oops there go your capacitor and possible other stuff along with it!!!!!

HVAC DOC. LOL You paranoid Hvac techs surly love to troll and nick pick at others DIY jobs, i not a tech too but if i was to do the same job i would to do a few thing more then what most would typically do at least make the wiring look more presentable then letting it sit there unsecured for other issues down the road pulling out the drain plug was probably mentioned in the instruction that came with the motor and in other RU-vid videos

But he can post another video on it and look like a big shot repairman. No skill involved in the title.

Nope, there are many homeowners that are much more smarter than AC guys. Don't over generalize.

What an idiotic comment.

Moral of the story: Never trust AC guys that turd on the job or are Polish

William loved the true but harsh comments. But I think Billy is a engineer. He is smart, smarter than any dumb, overpaid hvacr technician. Take it apart. Dissect why the part failed. LOL. He took a break while it was raining. Probably took him 2 days to his job and 1 day of editing.

"You didn't cut off the excess fan shaft which will cause bearing failure" - it will cause nothing since the force is centered, it is a myth that the shaft needs to be cut. The rest is negligible, please provide a single instance of a human killed by a 220V 50 mfd capacitor ever
