Well, finally, a fan that really is running backwards. 😀

Those heils are workhorses. My mom had one installed in the summer 2000 and it’s ever only needed one service call. She keeps up on the filters and it shows no signs of stopping.

Personally, I have never seen that but am so glad to have now! Wow! A reversed fan due to a bad cap! And what was all that tar junk? Old cap residue or something? You all have all the fun!

Your video is appreciated. Recently, I changed the fan motor. When I left yesterday, everything was great. Came back today and fan running backwards. I zipped off the top and reversed the wires. Operating correctly but if it does this again, well capacitors are cheap... Thanks again. Oh, the start capacitor is new as well. At 1075 RPM - 1/3 HP The dealer provided a 7.5. Run capacitor is a 40.

Had one on a York do that this summer. Found out fan wire had rubbed against metal plate and was arching. Fan would start correctly, heard a buzz, start running backwards then unit slammed down on high pressure.

That's not that bad. Our 1990 A/C was still running just great this past June. Even had a section of the condenser fins that were crumbled away due to corrosion. Ice cold R22. Also the original 1973 140,000 BTU natural gas furnace was still operational. Although we did opt to replace both with a 3.5 ton R410A condenser, matched evaporator, and 90,000 BTU 2-stage 95% ECM furnace. And we also live in Chicagoland, with the ice and snow zone. With that being said I did make a wood cover for only the top of our new outdoor A/C condenser to assist in its longevity while out in the winter elements.

It's a wonder the local authorities didn't want the water runnoff sorted out properly . I'm in a flood zone too but we have only had two floods,one in 74 and the other in 2011 . I guess i should make a offering to Greta to hold off any further catastrophes.

As soon as you see the leaves on the fan grill you know it's running backwards.

I like the passive homeowner shaming this guy does “well the homeowner wanted it that way” with an inflection in the voice that suggests that the homeowner is wrong.

A slight breeze had the fan turning backwards, and with a bad cap the motor runs the way it is turning.

I had one. One time , 20+ years ago, that was running backwards. I changed the cap, it would start running in the right direction for about 10 to 20 seconds. And then it would slowly stop and then start turning the other direction. It was an old Ruud or Rheem Cube. Now. That I think about it, I worked for another company then and I I was there to install a heat recovery and their air conditioner was a piece of s***. And it seems to me these people were paying a couple thousand I bet for this heat recovery; at least. And that was over 20 years ago. Crappy sales deal. Imagine that.

How can u tell that it's a 2.5 ton unit

30 in the model number I guess...that's how many brands do it
@pwalms65

There are 12,000 BTU's in 1 ton of cooling. Look at model numbers of any brand and there will be two digits that give the tonnage. In this video there is 30 in the model number so 24 plus 6 equals 30 (30,000 BTU's) or 2.5 tons. More examples might be XXXX24XXX would be a 2 ton system. There are also 1/2 ton increments. 18XXX would be a ton and a half. The indicator of these tonnages are at different positions in the model number, so you will have to study and look for the numbers.

Your model # 24 = 2 ton....30= 2.5 ton...36=3... Every 12 tons of cooling is 1 ton... So if you do the math...and follow nomenclature plate / model # .. It will tell you size of unit . Hope this helps.
