The AC worked that whole summer past the 90 days. He gave us an excuse that this is the quickest solution and that the sealant would plug up any leaks in the system (brand new system by the way) and would not harm the compressor in any way. 20 mins later and a payday of $850 (I'm sure he doesn't get the bulk of that).
So this tech comes in and inspects the refrigerant pipes.ignoring all the green joints on the big pipe and then decides to add a can of sealant into the condenser along with a new charge of r410a. We thought it would be a good idea to go for a company that's been around for a while serving the local community. We noticed the same symptoms happening last year (2013) so this time we hired a tech that works for a local hvac company that has been in business for 30+ years. He made some excuse that it would take a very long time to find the leak etc. We hired a tech in summer of 2012, who did not bother finding the leak and just recharged the system in 15 minutes and had his payday of $350. Basically the AC would run with the condenser but would not cool the basement or 1st floor.

The first time we noticed an issue with basement AC was a year later after the install (2012). Every year, there would be an issue with the basement 4 ton unit where it loses its r410a charge. The other unit (the problem unit) is setup in basement and is a 4 ton unit. One unit is setup in attic and is a 3 ton ac. This post will only focus on the AC side. Best Price on all HVAC Parts!Ī family member of mine had a bad ac install 3 years ago on a 2 zone ac+furnace Rheem systems. Perhaps my experience with this repair if I had chosen a better supplier to begin with. After sending them a copy of the invoice from the technician with his diagnoses of the system, they agreed to an RMA but with a 50% restocking fee. Caveat emptor! The technician seemed to think the replacement controller was defective from the factory, yet the supplier refused an exchange or RMA. Just for fun I tried that motor and controller and it works fine in the furnace! I'm not sure what it is programmed for, but is has been working fine all afternoon and moving a decent amount of air.Īs for the supplier where I purchased the module that instantly stopped working. Last weekend I was at an auction of a former HVAC/Plumbing business where I found a matching 1/2HP GE 2.3 ECM motor, but with a different part number. He verified that the ECM 2.3 module that I had purchased was bad, but could find nothing else wrong in the system. I had a HVAC Technician take a look at it. I have a background in electronics and industrial motor controls but am unfamiliar with HVAC controls.Īny ideas why the second control module blew? I verified the supply voltage to the air handler from the breaker and it looks good. The same fuseable trace in the new control module has now burnt up. The fan was working fine, running at a slower speed where there was a loud POP and it died.

Fired up the air handler and put the fan in manual mode. Verified that the motor spins freely and bearings were ok. Ordered a new control module online ($$$). There were no shorts to ground and nothing smelled/looked burnt so I assumed that the motor was ok. The windings of the motor were right at 2.9 to 3 ohms between each pin on the plug. The motor itself has three leads that plug into the control module.

Further investigation showed that two of the MOSFET drivers were cooked.
Upon pulling it apart I discovered that a fuseable trace on the board inside of the control module was burnt up. I was asked to look at an 8 year old Carrier air handler, model FV4BNF003.
