Searsman Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 UPDATE!!!. Repaired wiring early Sunday morning while cool in attic, removed blower housing and motor, cleaned , then cleaned slope coil. Both were yucky and I replace filters regularly.. wife retired from hvac distributors , they had the blower relay circuit board in stock. Got wholesale price. Installed it this evening.. unit working great now.. we suspect it was the three power interruptions in a row the recc did that same day. On off on off on off bam bam bam. SURGE! Pow 💥 ⚡️.. was hot that day, seems to me they already can’t keep the grid working properly as they have discontinued coal generation. could have turned it into insurance but humidity terrible here this week so I went ahead and did the repairs myself.. and yes, we were very blessed we were home . Going to research a whole home surge protector!!. Thanks for the thoughts guys.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Peters Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Keep in mind that Ron was a Sears Appliance repair guy. Many of the heating and air conditioning units have diagnostics built into the circuit boards. I was trained in heating and air conditioning many years ago but like automobiles of today the H-Vac units have also become much more electronic and computer based now. Ron doesn't how hot it was up in that attic where that unit was but he was working in a humid attic at about 110 degrees, sweating his keister (among other things) off. I talked to him after he was done. rob 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
