Replacement Part For Gas Furnace
QUESTION:I'm replacing the blower motor in a Bryant (Carrier) model 394GAD gas
furnace installed about 1986.
I have the Carrier replacement motor: HC680004. No instructions or
spec sheet came with it. Only documentation is the wire
identification on the sticker.
Problem: New motor has two brown wires to connect to a capacitor.
Old motor does not have brown wires and does not have a capacitor.
Should I install the capacitor? (I bought the recommended capacitor
when I bought the motor.)
If not, what should I do with the brown wires?
ANSWER: Typical.... HO thinks they are gonna save a buck by DIY....When he fries the
motor, then whines and crys to the supply house about its a "bad" motor, all
they are gonna do is point to the sign on the wall the states "NO RETURNS ON
ELECTRICAL PARTS"..... the HO then shells out for another motor, then
procedes to let the smoke out of it too.
How many trips to the supply house?
how many hours wasted?
how many days without heat/cool?
how many burnt motors?
This all could have been avoided by calling a *competent*, licensed,
insured, professionally trained, HVAC technician to come diagnose and
identify the *actual* problem, and correct it with OEM replacement parts
that he stocks on his truck.....and all in an hour or so with minimal cost.
No its not rocket science *if* you have the training, education, and
experience.
