Well thanks KJay.I am a Electrician with a wandering toolbox.So I don't need any dyi info.You know what they say about the HVAC trade.It sucks on one side and blows on the other.Anyway what I was troubleshooting was a ge ecm or electronicly comutated motor.I guess you could call it a brushless dc motor.Trying to justify the cost of 500.00 motor in a 10 year old carrier unit.
The unit is in decent shape.A little corrosion on the condensor.So I replaced the motor for customer.Granted I am not an HVAC contractor my customer begged me to fix it.
Anyway I was just curious about the little motor.As I have never had to trouble shoot one before.One thing for sure you guys in the heating and cooling business.Sure keep a tight lid on your supplies.Which I envy.That ge motor is patented hence the high price.
