- How to fix an indoor air conditioner that is not shutting off. On this video, I deal with an ECM blower motor inside an air conditioner that will not shut off. If the blower motor inside your air conditioner is not an ECM motor, then this repair will be different for you as this repair will only work for units that have an ECM blower motor.

Never seen this issue before but now I’ll know:) thanks for sharing the fix Lex hope you’re doing well
Good to hear from you Oliver!
Great video Lex! Those ECM motors have a learning curve on troubleshooting going from PSC motors. I haven't worked on one in awhile but I do know when testing the motor itself once you unplug the module, you should get roughly the same resistance value across each winding & obviously you want to see OL on your meter from each winding to ground. If those all check out you know it's the module that's bad. When you said the resident stated the motor was ramping up and down, from experience that's an easy tell tell sign it's the module. Thankfully you had a module on hand, those things are expensive! Good luck on those & were all learning something new everyday. Stay safe out there brosph! 🔧
Thank you Rich!
The end cap / motor module on the ECM’s are notorious for going out. Another great video. Hope you have a good turkey day!! 🦃
You too Danny! Thank you so much for watching!
That was an interesting fix! Thanks for the Vid ...Skid.

Good to hear from you Phillip!
Nice video, I had this same issue
Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks skid
Right on, skid! Thank you so much for watching Tank!
Good job Lez!
Thank you so much for watching Dencio!
Hey lex, great diagnosed video, as always. I was wondering if you can upload your songs too.👍
Right on Samy! The only song I have is the one played in the outro. It's a 99 cent download in the store below the video. Thank you so much for watching!
Where is the 27.64 v coming from? I mean how is it generated
From the transformer. The transformer has high voltage coming in. Like 120 or 240 volts and it steps it down and comes out low voltage. Thank you so much for watching!
I never seen one like yours the space around it. Everyone I've changed out. Had to move the evaporator coil. Pain in the butt
I did luck out with that. 🤞 Thank you so much for watching!
I run in with Motors with modules. They're very sensitive to power surges. And they're like laptop
Thank you so much for watching No one!
I have a question. When you checked the incoming signal wires across common (brown) and the purple wire, you got 27 vac. Wasn't that the signal calling for the motor to run? If it was, how did that tell you anything? It was already running, so it was doing what was called for. My newer (now 5 years old) unit has an ecm motor and trying to learn about trouble shooting. My brother has the same unit I have and his ECM IFM is also running all the time.
I was just checking. The module was bad and there really isn't anyway to open it up. But, I was just doing a voltage check for the viewers. Thank you so much for watching!
nice... i had a no heat call after church today. the pilot light was out in her crusty ol ruud. couldnt be any simpler
Right on. Thank you so much for watching Jason!
Can you use a different HP motor?
I would go back with what the system calls for because it can mess with the pressures. I've never tried another HP. I always go back with what's in there.
Gotcha! Thanks!!
Ecms are easy if you have intermittent problems its the ecm. it you have constant air flow its the ecm. no air flow? you guessed it ecm! and here we don’t replace modules we get the evergreen replacement ecms and replace the whole motor
Right on central! Thank you so much for watching!
I’ve got one without a module or board, just a stand alone fan relay switch and sequencer. Replaced both and fan still running. Any ideas man? I’m out.
Try pulling the green wire out of the thermostat. If it doesn't run after you do that then I'd say you've got a bad thermostat. Or, the red and green wire are touching some where causing low voltage to keep telling high voltage to stay on.
Here's a black Friday question for you. I had a tenant call in an emergency after hour maintenance call around 530 pm yesterday (Thanksgiving) because he said he couldn't find a plunger in the store yesterday. He stated he didn't need a maintenance person to come in he just needed a plunger. I messaged him back and told it's not policy to come in after hours because he didn't have a plunger. I told him there were several stores still open close to where he lives. That if I was onsite I would help him out. But I'm not driving 45 minutes on Thanksgiving because he's not able to take care of his apartment. He because upset that he needed to go buy and actual plunger. I mean if he couldn't get it unblocked on his own. I would have told him to call a plumber at his own expense. My question how much responsibility do you put on the tenant to take care of their own apartment? I mean after hour toilet call. I just don't do them!
If he has another bathroom, I would tell him to use that other bathroom until someone could address his issue during normal business hours. If he has only one bathroom then I would be required to handle it. It sucks being on call on a holiday. I've had to do it a few times. But, I make dang sure that I won't be on call the next holiday season. Thank you so much for watching Robert!
say don't lie, has it overflowed on the floor? (long odd silence) ohh uhh well yeah... my reply "stick your hand down in there and clean it out" 🤣🤣🤣
if your on call to a complex, then you = screwed hard, unless co-worker will take your on-call labor in trade for the pay. not proper and both/all could get in trouble. my buddy and co-worker did that long ago, over spring/summer/fall (we spent weekends in WV mountains playing on rail buggies). at times I wrenched for three nights on repairs only to have tow vehicle need a major repair at 3pm, we had to leave by 5:30pm git-r-done? yup, I most always did. except a few times, we took alternate tow vehicles(poo happens?)
Brown Friday...🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@LexVance when i have to pay 2 000$ for rent i would not change a lite bulb nothing against maintenance fck the rich landlords
Good morning my friend. Well sir, another year is almost gone. This year has been a blur. I'm still in my corner of the single family residential rent house contract maintenance world. I just passed 325 completed contract work orders for the year. Some big, some little. Sounds like you have had a good year too. Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
You too, Tom! Thank you so much for watching!
319 Work Orders for me so far....Gotta love it.
@@Chris.Rhodes Just making memories 🤣. You can only wash one dish at a time.
@@LexVance Big facts my guy!
Where do I get a module at?
On Amazon or at your local HVAC supply company. Just make sure it's for the model and serial number on your air handler. Thank you so much for watching!
Don't understand board feeds 27 volts tome it would be the boosrd
Thank you so much for watching!
hello , do you know how much is the cost of the unit that you changed ?
It would depend on the contractor you use. My guess is around $400 for time and materials.
@@LexVance thank you sir
👍
Thank you so much for watching Waylon!
Is that GE AC
First Company air handler.
What's the difference in price of the module from buying the entire motor?
I would need to Google that. The new module was already in the shop before I got to this property so I didn't purchase it. I'm from the old school blow motor days and still learning the ECM blow motor stuff. Thank you so much for watching Daniel!
Man those pro stat t stats are trash, I have to replace them all the time man
So true! Thank you so much for watching Bubba!
YOU NEVER CHECKED TO SEE IF THE NEW ONE WAS THE SAME HP, DUH,,,
It was. 👍😆👍 Thanks for the warmth and compassion. I hope whatever is going on works out for you. Happy people don't cruise the internet doing this. Take care. 😀
Those ECM motors are total shit.
👍😆👍 I've heard. It's gonna be fun in the future. There's over 50 leaking First Company coils. Throw in some ECM motors and we've got a party for the next decade. 🤣 Good to hear from you Reel Guy!
