Darrens videos are excellent. He provides the needed information without the stupid irrelevant blabber of the vast majority of RUclips.
Thanks Darren. I was dreading replacing my furnace motor. Your video motivated me to get it done and I learned a couple of tips as well.
You asked for different ways to remove the blower wheel or fan from the motor shaft .
Years ago in the 80s, when I was starting in the HVAC field an old timer taught me a trick because I was tearing up the blower motor fan on a furnace. Lol
His trick was to loosen the set screw and place an old socket over the shaft onto the collar of the fan, hitting it with a hammer to drive the fan blade just a little bit further down onto the shaft. Then use sand paper to clean the old motor shaft before attempting to remove it. There's always a rust or dirt line around it. When it's clean then I spray it with oil before I attempt to remove it by gently prying it from behind with 2 screwdrivers.
You may already do this but it's worked for me for a long time. You have the best repair videos I've ever seen online for this type of repairs. Thank you for taking the time it really helps me.
Wow, Thanks ! I am 25-years master ASE and your information is great. Thanks for the tutorial !!!
Great video! Spoke with Mobile RV, repair technician and his advice was to get a whole new furnace. He told me replacing fan motor would be too laborious. You have given me enough confidence to replace it myself. Thank you.
Thanks Daren. For the motor job. It's getting easier for me to follow, the more I watch the more I see and understand.
You can do it!
Yeah I like that. You can do it. Yes I can do it. I don't want to lol. And I'm using the age card 60. But no, you can't even hire people to do anything without breaking stuff and they're lazy. Anyway I digress. Yes when will these young kids work as hard as people from or how we were raised. That's the biggest challenge I ever renovation modeling business and I've rental properties. It's pretty much impossible but I shouldn't give up and that's why you're still doing it. You can't find good help I don't think. Anyway, thank you, thank you, thank you. It took me a long time to find this video and I just have to make sure I find the right motor. It's just a squeaking thing and it's plugged in so I don't really have to worry about any of the other stuff. But I'll inspect and if I'm digging in there. I'm doing everything a lot of stuff you got to take off and put on what happened to plug and Play lol
Outstanding video. Well presented. Great information. No supurflous banter. Just the needed facts in the correct amount of time. I wish ALL instructional videos were this well presented. Thank you.
Glad to find a professional willing to share his expertise in RV repair.
Oh and thank you
Well, thank you for watching! It's been a busy summer for us, but I do have more videos planned once things slow down a bit.
This is a great video, helped me more than I am able to put to words. Just a note, when he says that the exhaust fan can be a problem believe him. Took me every bit of 30 minutes. Putting that worm gear clamp back on is not child's play either.
Thank you, Darren. You have demystified RV repairs for myself, and I would guess many others also. Clear and concise directions make it easy to follow.
Great explanation.most don't understand how long it took for you to educate yourself. Good job Sir !
Thanks! Once I got into it I rebuilt the whole thing. Your Vid saved the day. The plastic fan had disintegrated with age and pieces were everywhere.
this guy actually does the work and we can see what he does, great job mister i really appreciate your efforts and hard work ....thumbs up
Thorough, and the squealing of this motor is exactly what our furnace motor sounds like, something dying. Was glad to find a video that directly illustrated the issue and solution I've got and need, respectively. Thank you
Thanks for watching!!!
My RV Works, Inc. good explanation.
Hi . When u have chance make a video, about aqua hot
@@gabrielleon8571 I replace the zone pumps on one a while ago and cut a video doing that.
Here you go: ruclips.net/video/HKMhEA-rDYI/видео.html
When I do an annual service on one I plan on making a video on how to do that procedure.
Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!
Cheers,
Darren Koepp
how do you get a metal fan off the back side with a allen wrench screw in it?
Really good videos thank you, this helped me get it done without fear of breaking it all apart :)
My RV is 22 years old, I just bought the motor and fan n not worry about the hassle. Thank you for the help.
Hi my name is Ed bernier, and your video made it ,step by step ,I replaced motor,gas head ,and ignitor. Thank you so much.
Thanks for a great video. I wasn't sure exactly how to get my motor replaced. The problem I have is getting the exhaust port out but now I know how to get it done. KUDOS Sir!!
Thank you for all your hard work for make other people lives easier out here on Whidbey Island. Keep up the great work. 👍
Another great and informative video. I am retired and live in my 5th wheel and these are the best ever. Hope to meet you one day.
I just ran through this process. Worked perfectly, almost. I didn't quit get the plug back onto the control board all the way so the heater ignored the thermostat and just kept running. Supper easy fix. Plug it in all the way. Recomendation: I think you should buy the smaller blower fan (the one on the right for the fire box) just in case you break the old one. Just return it if you don't need it, but the only one is a pain to get off the shaft. I'm very thankful I found this video. My repaired heater works great now, and so quiet.
Thanks very detailed and made it look easy
You mentioned 14 dollars for the fan would put my mind at ease k owing price I should expect to pay for motor
Very helpful video
I'll be ordering motor after boxing day
Thanks for demo
2 thumbs up
Wow! Thank you for this information!!! I was starting to pull my hair out trying to figure it out…I was thinking about removing the entire thing, Thanks to your video I will definitely have an easier time!
Thank you again!!
God bless you, brother! Because of you, I was able to swap out my blower motor!
I got it apart. Couldn't have gotten that far without your guidance. Thanks.
Glad I found this video great job I've had a fair run with my camper lately for some reason or another this all happened recently the converter quit and stopped charging I replaced it $450, the next day the thermostat quit I replaced it with a Honeywell residential worked great, 2 days later the blower started screaming like this one did, I kinda took it apart and lubed it just to buy time over the weekend and now it fires for about 5 mins and starts blowing cold for a couple mins and kicks on again repeatedly...I get all my new parts tomorrow!! Doing the whole job every piece is getting replaced now I know what they all so huge help thank you
This is great! Mine's shrieking for a couple seconds on startup, but I'll be doing the replacement myself once it's not -20 celcius out and before it gets worse
This video saved me a lot of headaches. I have the same furnace. Blower motor went out and every detail of this video was very helpful. Thank you sir!
THANK YOU for your instructional videos! I'm living tiny in my RV and heat is a necessity. I was able to do this myself for $65. I would've been stranded without you.
Thanks. I have to tackle that task today and this video gives me the confidence to do it right!😅
Thank you so much! I have this exact furnace squealing like a pig. Now I can fix it! You are amazing. Thank you so much!
Great and helpful video. As a Retired U S Navy Engineering Officer , Graduate of RV School at Lane Community College and spending 32 of the last 35 years as a full timer I thank you for your detailed videos. One thing I would add would be a check of the propane line fitting after reattaching. Keep up the good work.
Yes indeed, you are correct. I have a gas sniffer, you may have seen in some of my other videos, and once I run the system I do a sniff test with that device. Thanks for the comment happy camping.
Professional video. Thank you! Greatly appreciate you explaining everything and showing everything. Don’t know if you are a professional instructor but if not you should be. Bravo. Subscribed!
Thanks for the Tips and Tricks... This DYI repair guy now feels very confident to make this same repair on my 1994 Skyline M2710.
Thank you so much! This video saved me a lot of time. What likely would have taken me 2 or 3 hours and lots of frustration took me 45 minutes. You're the man!
Best repair video, I was able to do the replacement by myself.
Step by step, extremely useful information for RV furnace repair.
Thanks
Thank you for the detailed information and no excess talking there's nothing worse than excess talking when you're trying to fix something you don't do that and it's very much appreciated.
Excellent video. Very well done, understandable and well shot. I followed it closely in changing my motor and squirrel cage. Pretty sure I could not have done it without your video. So thank you a lot. One note, my setup had a Z shaped motor stiffener.
Awesome, very informative. Keep the videos coming. I had the same problem with the high limit switch. The burner kept going on and off and it would never get to temp inside the coach. What I ended up finding out was only 4 of the 5 ducts were only hooked up . As soon as I hooked up the 5th duct to the basement off the coach, it worked flawless. Just a tidbit of info for ya. Keep up the great work.
January in maine and my motor just did a week of noise and died 2hours ago im confident i can fix it now thank you
Excellent. My furnace sounds just like this one at the beginning!! Gonna tackle this today!
Great video. I’m doing two motors on two furnaces in my 1993 American Eagle right now. Was considering removing entire furnace until I saw this.
That was very useful. I was able to change out the blower motor on my furnace in my 1998 companion kit thanks to this video
My 1998 companion kit fith wheel camper has a Atwood Mobile Products 8525 - iii furnace in it. I live in my camper and here in central Wyoming it gets very cold during the winter so having my furnace working is extremely important and your video seriously helped me get it back up and running like new
@@mlane1986 mines acting up now and it's starting to get chilly here in washington so this video really did me a favor!
I also installed a 8kw diesel heater as a backup to the furnace. I got one of the cheap Chinese diesel heaters and I think all in it cost me $150 but it works really well and it wasn't that hard to instal.
Absolutely love the video! Sooper helpful! Thanks
Hi, that was very helpful, our fifth wheel was vandalized a while ago, furnace wires pulled out as well, your video helped me wire it back up, as well as changing out the motor or other parts for the furnace. Thank you.
Holy Cow! You Are the man! Thank you for taking the time to generate your videos. VERY nicely done sir.
Thanks for the comment. Happy camping!
Great video i am about to tackle this job for my father and wouldn't have attempted it without watching this first.Very detailed thanks you for posting.
Needed to replace the motor and my rv guy was out of town up until my new years trip replaced it on Christmas thanks to you works great thanks for the good content
Glad it was able to help you out.
Great video. I am just completing a 85531ivDCLP. Some differences from your video but very helpful. I struggled to get the cover off of the fan housing because there are differences between your video and this unit. I ended up removing the furnace which sucked! Getting the small fan off was a chore hahahaa. After loosening the allen then holding the big fan and rocking the small fan CCW and CW starts to loosen. I also used PB blaster and some fine emery cloth to remove the rust from the end of the small fan shaft. That was tedious but worked, glad I was not working by the job..hahaha
Next observation I had was the limit switch you pointed out is not accessible without separating the fan housing and the ducting heat chamber.
uggg. There is also an air baffle for the left end of the big fan. It is held in place when you put the fan cover back on that your video does not have One other thing is some of the screws are different sized in thread size so attention needs to be made and keep track of which goes where. Thank you for spending your valuable time to make your many useful videos.
.
Awesome video thanks just replaced mine today helped greatly. Ps. Wear gloves when trying to take exhaust fan blade off. Fins are sharp.thank you again 🍻
Very helpful watching you do the whole process and explaining all that detail.
Well just my two cents. Sounds like a different issue that you might have to search. The guy's pretty busy. Just saying. So just Google and RUclips it. Who knows. He might even have that issue covered in another one of his videos, but just research your challenge. I'm just lucky I found this video took me several hours. I'm just going to have to pull up a stool and play this video like 20 times for a rewine paws or wine paws. But I'll get it. I'm being lazy. I'm using voice text and I'm not spell checking but you get the gist. Yeah I've had a couple people look at it and they said I had to cut out the old refrigerator. It wasn't worth it. Everything needs to be replaced. It's old. I'm so glad I found this video!
Hi. Thank you so very much for the video. I have a SQUEELING PIG :). I did a (Atwood furnace blower) search and you were on top. I have a 2003 Airstream and was fussing about a full furnace replacement $$$. Now I think I'm going to replace a blower motor thanks to your video. Thank You!
Great video. Thank you so much, I'll need to replace my motor soon, this is very helpful.
Great videos, it helped me diagnose a rusty burner like this one had on my 18 year old RV. Because of it's age and since I had everything out, I replaced the ignitor and valve assembly too. As for replacing a motor, since you have everything out, I'd go ahead and replace the limit switch. It's only $20 bucks on Amazon, but will save you the labor cost of doing all this again later. That's cheap insurance compared to losing your heat in the middle of the night and having to call a repairman to diagnose and replace it. Generally, labor costs are far more than parts cost, so if you're taking everything apart, might as well invest a few extra bucks, especially for older RVs.
I have a worn out Atwood 8536 lpg heater so was wondering if you could get me another one or a replacement one.
I enjoy your video's very helpfull.
Hope I get a reply from you
Thanks
After watching video, I replaced motor and ignitor on my 8535, it works great! thanks for the great video...

Great video. All stuff no fluff.
I have watched countless videos of yours, extremely informative, thank you for your time. Just to add for beginners of repairs check for gas leaks with soap after reattaching a gas line.
You are simply amazing!
Thank you you solve my problems
You are welcome 😊
Thank you very much for the videos. I successfully fixed mine and couldn't have done it without watching your video's. Very very appreciated
Thanks Darren, very detailed instructions . Thanks again
Wow! Perfectly done! I'm diving in!Thx a ton
Beautiful tutorial.
very useful vid. so I say Outstanding it even looks like my model 2334 8500 1v
Excellent video, I'm doing mine this weekend.
The way that high temp sensor is buried and with the wires bypassing it. I think I would have tested or just replaced it to be absolutely sure I wouldn't have to tear it apart a second time. Great channel, Subscribed
Thank you so much for showing me how to install a new blower motor that’s exactly the problem that I’m having Now I feel I can replace it myself with confidence
I am cheering for ya'.
thank you for all the information. this video helped a LOT more than any other I have seen
Excellent job, as always. This is way to involved for me. I'll be contacting you for a bid.
Cheers.
Thank You for the education :) So much better than spending the time to figure it out myself
I'll tell you it took me several hours to keep searching. This is a great video. Yeah it started squealing really loud. + This is what I have to take care of. The challenge is this elderly woman who I run it to. There's trees and bushes in that area so. I can do it but I have to clear an area. I digress. You just got to take your time and I wish they made it easy. I was thinking maybe I just shoot some lithium grease in that bearing. There's no way to get to it without pulling it apart and if I pull it apart I might as well change it. That's what I was thinking but it's just a nightmare. Just a lubricate it and it's forget it. Anyway, thank you very much. This is a great video and I was a little like I don't feel like doing that. Then I look at labor prices and I could do it but I don't want to but it would motivated me is this is real time. Anyway thanks so much and I got to stop being being lazy the thing is I've been doing this all my life. It's almost like I don't have to but labor prices are crazy. So now I got to get back to work and do this but anyway so I may not be able to do it. And as long as your video and it's hooked up to power so I don't think I'm going to have to worry about. Well I'll see. Sorry for the long voice text and half the time is preparing the area so I can get to it Bush's etc. And maybe nice little chair and a shade. It's hot in Florida. Anyway thank you so much. Not sure if I can do it in the time frame that you did it cuz you do it all the time. But thanks very very very detailed
Great fix - now I know where all the parts go - thanks for the lesson -
I like the trick with the 12V battery pack used to turn the furnace on and test it. Very slick.
Putting direct current is the best way to check last year my blower went out in my car so I put direct current to it and it wouldn't work so I bought a new and bam good to go
Awesome job Brother!
Thanks Darren. Is exactly my problem. After watching, I know it's a repair I can do.
You're the reason I put these videos out there. Hope you can avoid the expensive repair bills. Happy Camping!
Thank you so much, very helpful! Will need to wait till tomorrow to get back at it, it's too dark to finish (NH) I appreciate your help!
Thanks for the tutorial I have the same problem same unit exactly
Great video. Thanks for all the helpful information on how to remove and replace all of that. Most informative and thorough video I've watched on furnace removal, and thanks for that bonus info too.

Thank you for your video is very informative especially the information about the high limit
Thanks Darren I think I can replace mine now good video
very good training episode. thanks for your video . mine squeals and I thought it was a fan/ squirrel cage. guess it is a motor. I will be saving your video when the time comes to do mine. Thanks My FV works inc
Excellent video, thanks so much. Loved all the detailed explanations. 👍👍👍
I wish you were closer to Newport Washington
We have so much snow and low temperatures. I don’t trust myself to do it, but I might have to mine squeals hums and vibrates.
Another great learning! Thank you so much! You really have a gift of explaining these repairs! Keep up the good work?
great video everything i needed know - thanks
Absolutely fantastic video and expert instructions from Daren. WOW knowledge is a powerful tool and I thank you.
That’s what my furnace is doing how much does a new motor cost? At least I have a son in law that can replace it. Thank you very much for sharing this with me, your my Hero
You asked for suggestions on removing the larger squirrel cage- I loosened the Allen screw, supported the whole shebang on three blocks of wood with the motor down and the blower cage resting on the blocks, took a hammer and screwdriver and placed the blade of screwdriver on the end of the shaft, tapped a few times, and it slid right off the cage👍
Thank you for your professional assistance. I truly appreciate your help.
Wonderful video!!! Thank you for making it, and explaining everything so well! My motor is fluctuating (believe bad bearings), so this motor change video is perfect! I have this exact model furnace.
How the heck does anyone give this a thumbs down? I took the wing nut off my exhaust pipe but never could get it out. I have an 8900 model.
Excellent video!! Thank you for the details. Great presentation!! THANK YOU!! Now I have more knowledge and confidence to work on mine.
Excellent video! Thank you sir
Great job. Talk about saving time and money. You da man...
