Every homeowner has to deal with universal condenser fan motor repair and updatement at some point in their HVAC system’s life. Fortunately, this is a simple repair that does not require the expert services of an HVAC professional as it can be done by a non-professional as a do-it-yourself project. To begin replacing your universal condenser fan motor, confirm that the problem is with your condenser fan motor and needs updating. Turn off your HVAC system’s power, then manually try to spin your fan blade, if your fan blade does not freely turn when you rotate it, your universal condenser fan motor needs updating. When purchasing your universal condenser fan motor’s updatement, confirm your original motor diameter in inches from your older unit. Also, learn the horsepower rating, operating voltage units, motor shaft size, RPM speed and direction of rotation to ensure you get the suitable component for your HVAC equipment. Once you are ready to update your motor, shut down all your system’s electric supply on the breaker box for safety precautions. Please take note of your motor’s wiring, their colors and how they are attached, remove the bolts securing your fan and its motor on the band, then detach the fan blade from the motor shaft by tugging and twisting, then ensure you take note of the positioning of all the components you take out. Once the ancient unit is disattached, install the new one by simply reversing the process. Ensure the fan blade is centered in your fan motor’s opening. It is important to note that you should also update your a/c’s run capacitor every time you update your universal condenser fan motor.
