Thank you very much for demonstrating how to check the motor speed wires!!! On my 24 year old 2.5 ton York HVAC, both of my heat and cool board terminals were connected with the same black wire via with a short jumper wire therefore the heat mode was operating at a much faster speed. For the heat mode now, I replaced the split/jumper black wire that was going to both the heat and cool and replaced the heat mode side with the blue wire that was previously on the park terminal. Everything is so much better now. Again, thank you for your top quality DIY videos!!
Even though I know what are you doing, I was a HVAC tech and a Journeyman electrician, I like your videos, your style of explaining is so good...Have a good day from a Retired old man.
This is definitely the best video I've seen on here on this topic. Anybody can make a video and explain how something works but that doesn't mean it was comprehended by the viewer. You have excellent communication skills.
First time hvac diy, took my moms 30 year old furnace apart for a mighty cleaning. Thanks for the great knowledge straight to the point and very well spoken .
Been trying to help out an in-law since yesterday. Doing research and finding wiring diagrams, trying to figure out how a furnace works. This video right here is exactly what I needed. Thank you!!
i start hvac school in august and i feel like im getting ahead by watching your videos. I wont feel completely lost now. You have a great way of relaying your knowledge to others. Thank you for your awesome videos.
Hi Jay, you are the best teacher, I have ever seen. I watch a lot of these video’s, since I had some AC, DC and electronic’s, about 50 years ago in Aviation mechanic school. I also had my mine electrician certification papers.
"Rotation" has two views. Shaft end and Wire end depending on how the fan blade or squirrel cage will mount or how the motor will mount, shaft upward or shaft downward. You might also comment about how to find HVAC parts because most of the supply warehouses protect their industry service tech by only selling to licensed general and/or HVAC contractors. Great review.
Wiring mysteries revealed! Very well done! Ten years ago I replaced the blower motor in my furnace and had to hire a tech to figure the wiring out. There won't be a "next time" for my thirty-plus year old unit, but you revealed how very easy it is to do. You are wonderful.
Just finished installing new blower motor and this video was very helpful. Thanks for all your great videos, you are my first stop for help on appliance and HVAC.
I'm currently taking my G2 license in Canada and I'm struggling to understand my teacher even when I show up an hour early and leave an hour late. You did an amazing job explaining everything in a a simple and effect way. Going to recommend you to my class for the other students who need help. Thank you for making the video.
You're welcome! Glad to hear the video is helpful. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the schooling! (And I can totally understand that... Some teachers are easier to understand than others..)
Capacitor job is to start the motor. If you disconnected the capacitor from your motor and turn the power on you will hear humming noise however if you rotate the shaft by hand your motor will start spinning to whatever the speed setting is. Great video by the way ! Good job bro
Would the capacitor's lifespan be increased if one line of the capacitor is automatically disconnected AFTER the motor has started up and is spinning (and of course auto-reconnect it AFTER the fan is switched-off again)? Hiring service-people to do the routine job of replacing capacitors seems to cost people a LOT of money in service calls.
Very good thought but unfortunately the circuit doesn’t work that way. Just think capacitors are like batteries, they will lose their ability to hold charge overtime and eventually decreased their capacity below useful threshold.
@@eddo5617 That's ususally because the electrolyte degrades over use/time...often due to heat, chemical processes, over-volting, seal failure, and a few other things. But since the caps are often mounted on or very near the motor itself, of which many do get *very* hot, I was just wondering if disconnecting one, once the fan is "spun-up" would help reduce the electrolyte degradation by any significant degree. I do know that during use the electrolyte itself often also heats up to some degree...and that in turn can further accelerate the electrolyte failure. I just don't know the particulars in an AC motor circuit.
This video saved me $1000 today! Had to replace the motor and add a capacitor since my old furnace didn't have one and the new motor needed one. The repair guy wanted $1100
A very good as well as easy to understand instructional video. My blower motor ''went'' last weekend due to it's bushings going bad. For some reason they didn't put any oiling ports on the ends of the motor to oil those bushings. Since it's currently in the middle of winter & I'm goin through a pretty powerful cold spell, I ''had'' to get something going quick. I had an old ''scrounged'' blower motor on a shelf in my basement that fit just fine (a little better in fact), but it was only an 800 RPM motor instead of a 1000 RPM as the original was. I like how much better this slower motor is heating my house, but since it's a single speed motor, I'd probably have some issues with the cooling coils freezing up during the summer or A/C season. Since it is a ''scrounged'' old motor, I need to replace the original with a ''new'' motor. I typically fix everything I have if I can if I'm able to get access to what I need so putting a ''new'' blower motor in my furnace won't be that hard (especially since I've already torn it all apart to try to fix the original & replaced it with another). I've researched a particular motor, but all I've been provided with is a brand name, part number, & wiring diagrams. I haven't found if it has more than 1 speed & what speeds they might be if it did. As many leads it has, I believe it surely has more than 1 speed. Since the color of it's wires are similar to those on your motor, I was wondering what the 2 slower speeds were on the motor you used in your demonstration. If I could get a replacement motor that had a slower, approx. 800RPM speed along with the 1075 RPM, I could wire in a switch so I could switch it between the 1075 RPM for the A/C season & to a slower speed during furnace season. I'm amazed at how much better my furnace heats my house after putting this 200 RPM slower motor in. It seems like the slower air flow is able to heat ''everything'' in the house along with ''every'' part of the house so it doesn't need to run as long each time it runs. I could literally feel the house getting, feeling, & staying warmer after it ran for the 1st time & it feels warmer in here even after setting my thermostat 2 degrees lower. It's been a surprising experiment I was forced to undertake in the cold of winter (it's 0 or below outside now as I'm typing this) with surprising results. I would like to know what the other speeds were on your ''demonstration'' motor. Again, well done video, Sir.
Superb - I have a degree in Electrical Engineering and I kept expecting you to make a mistake or fail to explain a minor technical detail. I could not have been more wrong. Superb !!!!!!!!!
That's very handy info man! I wired my last blower motor in several years ago but had to be careful to wire it back exactly like it was since most motors I'd dealt with only had 3 wires. Its not so complicated once you realize 2 are for the capacitor, 3 for the motor speeds to hot lead and 1 for the neutral or common. Also love the extension cord connection.
Thank you so much for doing these videos. I worked with my boyfriend who had an age gap with me and he was teaching me what he knew but passed away barely a week ago and I want to continue doing what I'm doing but there are areas I need refreshers in because I mostly was at his side to bring him tools and the like. A lot of it I know, but he was old school and there are things in this video that I'm not sure even he knew.
This is really helpful. I need to replace the fan motor on my heatpump tomorrow and when I replaced the blower motor in my furnace a few years ago i wired it to high speed because I wasn't sure. Now I can double check my work on the furnace and slow the fan down, she runs hard and is pretty high volume out of the ducts
I don't think there is any video or article on internet which describes wiring alone, let alone if anything can be so detailed described the subject. I am the person you can confidently call clueless. I have collected a few motors and wish to wire them, only after watching this video I could wire them correctly, thank you very much.
between this video and the other video on replacing a blower motor I got mine replaced and saved about $500 in the process, you are awesome! thanks so much for making the videos and answering my questions about 115V vs 200-230V motors
Thanks, a friend just dropped off a blower with a similar motor he saved out of his air handler he had replace a few years ago. Asked me to wire it to switches so he could make a simple box cabinet to use it as a fan in his garage this summer. I knew the basic principle of how they work but your well explained details sure saved me a lot of time figuring it out on my own. Thanks again for all the help. :-)

God bless you brother every day I learn something from you I spent alot of my time watching your video I love how you explain very great teacher thanks again for your time
Thank you very much. 30 year's on my motor have replacement part's will do my own install when needed now I know where all the wire,'s go. Enjoy all your videos
Thanks for explaining the wiring the way I needed. Showing resistance for each speed and doing a simple bench test gave me the gist of it better than all the confusing instructions that came with the new motor.
After many books and articles read, I came by this page and you have cover more in a few minutes than hours spent reading. Nicely done A+++ you have a new subscriber here. Thanks!
Thank you Sir! My York just stopped blowing last night/yesterday... Very comprehensive and descriptive video. I was thinking my motor was bad (expensive} but I now know that I need to test my capacitor also (much less expensive) since without a good one or unplugged, the motor only hums. That is exactly what mine is doing after the gas burners heat up and I hear the click for the fan blower to kick on.
Hands down one of the best RUclips Channels I have ever come across. I am a subscriber! I really enjoy your videos and because of them I've felt confident enough to fix my own HVAC issues. Earlier this year, after watching one of your videos, I replaced the furnace control board having never been exposed to an HVAC system. Ordered the replacement board on Amazon and saved myself $$$$. Today I was searching for a video on blower speeds and came across this one. Excellent explanation on how to test the speeds and wire them up accordingly. I've been investigating an issue where the fan on my main floor system would not operate when set to ON, but would when set to Heat or Cool. I read in the comments of another video, that the particular board I have has to have a speed wire connected to the Heat LO tap on the control board. So I grabbed the Med Hi (blue) from park, plugged it in and now the fan works in On. But I am wondering if I should swap the Med Lo (yellow) which is currently connected to the Heat tap, with the Med Hi to ultimately increase the airflow while heating? I noticed in this video you suggested Med Hi for heat, so I was curious if the Med Lo was incorrectly connected when the system was installed. I've seen a lot of forums that have debated this and a concept about heat rise temps or something.
Thank you so much for taking your time to do this videos,you talk about every step very clear you are AWESOME! I have learned a lot from your videos last night I fixed my doughter's furnace and I did it the way you explaned in one of your videos thank you so much God bless you and all your family.
This was super helpful. My gas furnace blower motor is either bad or the capacitor is bad. The motor thermal protection appears to be being triggered so the effect is the motor cycles .... 30 sec run...30 sec off. This was strange and initially thought it was the control board. Then I checked that control board power was staying steady at 120 volt and all burners and controls were fully functional. I have learned a ton from your videos , thanks!
Thank you very much for your videos. Resenly,I just graduated from A/C,and your videos help me to remember and practice more.However, I subscribe to your channel,and I put hand up! Thank you very much for your help and support have a great day.
Thank you so much for your detailed explanation! Our furnace is almost 20 years old. The prices to replace the motor and capacitor is $1,440. Eeek! I'm going to replace my capisiter, disassemble my fan and motor, clean them and oil up my motor a bit to keep it running smoothly. So$10 worth of maintenance. Even if I have to replace the motor, it's hundreds instead of thousands.
Oh yes! I would do it myself too if I got a bid that high... With all the how-to videos nowadays on RUclips, all you need is the willingness to try :) Thank you for watching and commenting!
LIFE SAVER!!! just changed my motor hopefully that fixes my issue but if it does im confident ill be able to goto the next item that maybe the issue the Inductive motor
Hey Boss Man;;;I have to give you BIG Time credit;;;Just what I been longing to learn for over 2 months to use one to extract drywall compound dust from a small room....You were on point;;;Thanks so much
I definitely give you props on how thorough and detailed your videos are... really good stuff. Other guys on RUclips definitely leave out some things but you make it to where a homeowner would be able to try and tackle some of their own hvac issues. As a tech myself, I enjoy watching there videos as well since I'm fairly new to the trade. Keep up the good work and hopefully your videos don't take too much work away from us lol!
Thank you! Glad you liked the videos! And I am sure there will always be plenty of people who would rather pay someone than try to do it themselves. I would venture to say that that is the majority actually. It's the minority that watch videos like this who would likely attempt to fix their own stuff even without a video.
@@WordofAdviceTV hey I need you to know by your videos you seriously saved an old couple. He is 78 yrs old on oxygen and the lady suffered from many serious problems. Anyway they are warm now and we have to thank you for your straight forward teaching. They are on limited income and have no spare money
@@WordofAdviceTV yeah I studied your videos and was able to get their heat on a few times. Once it was the pressure switch and another time it turned out to be the board. But if it was not for you it would not be running so I had to send out a thank you. They would have possibly lost their home because they are a check away from going homeless. Can't thank you enough
I just watched this and if you do have a three speed motor you put the heat on the middle speed and the low speed on park or fan. Didn’t you say you want the heat on low speed? Great videos! Even though I went through hvac school I’m really enjoying your videos and you explain items more in detail than the school did.
Aloha Eddy!! Good to know that some of my videos have "re-watch value" 😄 Thank you for the greetings, we always appreciate you stopping by! Have a marvelous rest of the week my friend!
I thought I was an excellent teacher...you mi amigo are an exceptionally good instructor. Thank you for a video worthy of recommending. In this day and age, have you ever thought of starting your own Online College, or Trade Tech School?
This is a really well done video. Very good organization and presentation. No extra nonsense. Just the real info needed to wire up one of these motors. Thanks.
I wish I could do everything! I only know a little bit there and there :) Haha I love how you ended up on this video even though you came for just the washer.
This is an Excellent Video and exactly what I needed to see ! Thanks ! I guess the only thing You didnt mention was when You grabbed The Capaciter without Grounding it first . I was told this can give you a bad shock ( unless you ground out both terminals first ) but That was just what I was told . Thanks , again .
Absolutely outstanding video, your videos are extremely well done. Lighting, audio, explanation, teaching Outstanding!, Thanks so much and keep up the Great Work!,

Thanks again Man! The electrical part is a pain in the but for me!
I'm in Chicago.start taking class and it helps me a lot.I'm from South America and always see your videos.thanks.
Thank you very much for your videos. Resenly,I just graduated from A/C,and your videos help me to remember and practice more.However, I subscribe to your channel,and I put hand up! Thank you very much for your help and support have a great day.
Thank you so much for your detailed explanation! Our furnace is almost 20 years old. The prices to replace the motor and capacitor is $1,440. Eeek! I'm going to replace my capisiter, disassemble my fan and motor, clean them and oil up my motor a bit to keep it running smoothly. So$10 worth of maintenance. Even if I have to replace the motor, it's hundreds instead of thousands.
Oh yes! I would do it myself too if I got a bid that high... With all the how-to videos nowadays on RUclips, all you need is the willingness to try :) Thank you for watching and commenting!
LIFE SAVER!!! just changed my motor hopefully that fixes my issue but if it does im confident ill be able to goto the next item that maybe the issue the Inductive motor
This is like going to college to learn all about hvac. Great video
For good reading don’t put fingers on terminals. Keep up with the good work
Thanks for the help. The video gave me the confidence to change my dead blower motor.
Dude, u saved my bacon. Been trying to figure this out for a while.
What a great video explaining everything. This guy is great
Hey Boss Man;;;I have to give you BIG Time credit;;;Just what I been longing to learn for over 2 months to use one to extract drywall compound dust from a small room....You were on point;;;Thanks so much
I definitely give you props on how thorough and detailed your videos are... really good stuff. Other guys on RUclips definitely leave out some things but you make it to where a homeowner would be able to try and tackle some of their own hvac issues. As a tech myself, I enjoy watching there videos as well since I'm fairly new to the trade. Keep up the good work and hopefully your videos don't take too much work away from us lol!
Thank you! Glad you liked the videos! And I am sure there will always be plenty of people who would rather pay someone than try to do it themselves. I would venture to say that that is the majority actually. It's the minority that watch videos like this who would likely attempt to fix their own stuff even without a video.
Man your response is dead on for the not so fortunate. 🙄
I appreciate your videos I’m getting into HVAC and I’m grateful to have come across your videos.
Thank you! Glad to hear the videos are helpful! Good luck with your HVAC career! :)
I wish you tought my class at school. Or maybe teach my teachers how to teach. Great videos man! Very helpful
You saved me a technician ❤️
You are a natural teacher thank you
This was clear, concise, complete, and excellent. Thank you!
Glad to hear that! Thank you!
Thank you for this lesson. You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
As I watch I say to myself what if etc. and 5 seconds later you are covering what I was thinking, Jay you're the best!
Glad to hear the video didn't disappoint! :) Thank you for watching!
@@WordofAdviceTV seriously ty
@@WordofAdviceTV hey I need you to know by your videos you seriously saved an old couple. He is 78 yrs old on oxygen and the lady suffered from many serious problems. Anyway they are warm now and we have to thank you for your straight forward teaching. They are on limited income and have no spare money
@@studypartner9643 That is great to hear!! I'm happy to know that my video helped! Thank you for leaving a comment.
@@WordofAdviceTV yeah I studied your videos and was able to get their heat on a few times. Once it was the pressure switch and another time it turned out to be the board. But if it was not for you it would not be running so I had to send out a thank you. They would have possibly lost their home because they are a check away from going homeless. Can't thank you enough
I just watched this and if you do have a three speed motor you put the heat on the middle speed and the low speed on park or fan. Didn’t you say you want the heat on low speed? Great videos! Even though I went through hvac school I’m really enjoying your videos and you explain items more in detail than the school did.
My favorite Hvac instructor 👌
Most informative HVAC video I’ve seen I really like your detailed presentation thanks
Thank you! :)
i can watch this again because it has so much useful information.
God bless your soul
Exactly what I said when his video helped me pass a last minute hands on test at school lol
you are a good teacher
Thank you! 🙂
Fantastic and easy to understand explanation of the blower motor speed settings and its wiring. 10/10 - Welldone indeed!.
Thank you! I'm happy to get a 10/10! :)

Thanks bro. Just started taking hvac classes and this was a big help!
I thought I was an excellent teacher...you mi amigo are an exceptionally good instructor. Thank you for a video worthy of recommending. In this day and age, have you ever thought of starting your own Online College, or Trade Tech School?
This is a really well done video. Very good organization and presentation. No extra nonsense. Just the real info needed to wire up one of these motors. Thanks.
This was pretty amazing. Very helpful.

This is an Excellent Video and exactly what I needed to see !

I guess the only thing You didnt mention was when You grabbed The Capaciter without Grounding it first .
I was told this can give you a bad shock ( unless you ground out both terminals first ) but That was just what I was told .
Thanks , again .
