I have a Carrier unit from about '97 on my house that's acting up. I'd rather keep the money in the community here if possible. Anyone know their shit out there? Thanks

Look at the capacitor and see if it is ballooned or if oil is leaking out of it. Those are dead giveaways to it being bad.
I guess the question is was the guy able to jump the blower motor to make it work?? As the blower motors are common failure parts.

The good thing is a replacement motor will have the same colored wires as the one you took out so just match the wires back up and your in business. Also I usually just cut the the wires a few inches before their connections to the wires in the unit, that way if the wires in the unit are different than the ones on the blower motor you will still have a section of the old blower motor wire as a reference.
Easy stuff. ;)
Now if your unit has circuit boards in it, then you have to see if any of the wires go to powering on the blower motor.
Also we're talking package unit here, not a split system, right??

Re: A/C repair needed near Burbank
This who I used, very helpful and when I did the repairs myself they said they would send someone out to check it if I wanted to, it all worked and I didn't need their help. I have had them out to fix stuff when I'm working on location and my wife has had a problem and I'm not there to fix it, very honest.
