Hey whats up guys,
Im having issues at home.
It all started 2 weeks ago when the house got warm and I went to the inside unit and noticed that the low pressure line going into the unit was frosted and I could not hear the blower.
It was the middle of the night so I just shut the breaker off and let it melt. In the morning I checked it and verified the blower was not coming on. I did go outside and the outside unit was working.
I research a bit online about the issue and found somewhere that it said to cehck for 24vac at R & G and I did and it said to jump the two to see if the motor came on and I did and it started fine. Well after this the blower started to work with no issues for about 4 days.
After 4 days I noticed that the blower fan was coming on for a few seconds and then turning off for a few seconds and then coming back on and it kept doing. This happened again during the night so I left it for the morning. When I got up I went and checked the outside unit and the fan was not running and did noticed that the fan spun freely but not nice and smooth. I checked the capacitors and the start capacitor was bad so I went and grabbed a new one and installed it but the fan did not start until I helped it with a stick. After it started I went upstairs and the air handler blower was still turning on and off and on and off but it was throwing out cool air. The next day I went outside and the fan was not on again and it would not start even if I helped, troubleshot it to a bad motor and ordered one online and got it in yesterday.
I installed it this morning and had my wife turn on the breaker inside the house while I was outside and the outside fan works like a charm. The issue is that when i went upstairs I went to the air handler and the blower is not working now. I tried jumping R & G again but now its not doing anything. I checked the control board and its good and and check for voltage in the 5 pin plug that goes into the ECM and there is voltage there.
Any ideas what this could be?
