I am in need of a new run capacitor and a fan blade. Do any of you guys know where a regular joe can walk in and buy parts here in Phoenix? Also, if you are an HVAC tech, can you decipher the fan for me? It's a 4 blade fan - If I'm smart, its a 20" 33 degree pitch, clockwise rotation blade right? |

It's a 4 blade fan - If I'm smart, its a 20" 33 degree pitch, clockwise rotation blade right? If you are smart, it's a 20", 4 blade, 33 deg pitch, clockwise rotation, 1/2 hp load fan. When you are installing a fan, the height is critical. Mark where the blades line up with the venturi. By the way, the motor is not the right one either. The motor in your pictures is an open frame air over 1/3 hp. The motor should be a TEAO (totally enclosed air over) and I think that blade want's a 1/2 hp motor, not a 1/3. I have the cap I can give you for free if you want it. I'm in Fountain Hills. Edit: I see the pictures now. It's a 20" 33 deg, Clockwise rotation, 1/2 hp load, 4 blade fan. Rod |

The whole fan issue is totally unrelated to the blower issue! Thanks for the offer of the cap! I'd love to come grab it, but I'm way over in West Phoenix.. Would be cheaper to buy it! BTW, does the .50 mean 1/2" arbor? |

Grainger. I think you need an account but I could meet you at the one on baseline and we can use my work account. It'll have to be tomorrow as I go to Hawaii on Saturday. Thanks for the offer, but I've gotta work tomorrow. If I haven't gotten this resolved over the weekend, will you be back next week? Actually, I just went ahead and signed up for a Grainger account. I am a business owner after all, and they have a branch really close to me. Now I just gotta get me one of their catalogs and figure out how not to spend more money with them.

BTW, does the .50 mean 1/2" arbor? The hub in the center of the fan can be set up for 1/2" diameter motor shaft, 5/8" shaft or 3/4" diameter shaft. I haven't done much (any) work on packaged systems (all in one units) all I have worked on have been split systems. I didn't know that a PSC motor could be used for the blower motor. On Split Systems it's usually a Capacitor Start blower motor and a PSC type for the condenser fan motor. Good luck with it, Regards, Rod |
I don't have a clue. 
From what I understand though, PSC motors are generally smoother, quieter, and more efficient. You also have to understand, the AC unit on my roof is probably 30 years old. =) One of these days I'll replace the thing, but in the 7 years we've lived here I've put less than $600 into it. With this, it will bring my total to about $640. And my electric bills are only about $200 in the summer. I just can't justify a new unit when this one really has worked so well for so long. |
