All right, today we're at Lago Freda for an up cooling service call. Immediately once we turn the system on, we noticed that the condenser fan motor was not working. They had put a bigger capacitor than the motor was rated for. So, they blew the motor not even a year after installation. We gave the estimate to the homeowner and they decided to replace it. We go to our van cuz we got fully stocked with new motors and we start replacing it. These blower blades were a little stuck in place. Thankfully, they came out and didn't cause that much of a hassle. As we start taking the motor apart, this is the new one compared to the old one. We put it back together and then the the grounding wire and then the directional wires. You can switch those around to change the direction of the blades. Once we put the blades back on, it's nice and free and spinning. We put it back in place and we put a new capacitor for this motor. It only took us 1 hour to get it replaced and the customer has got cool air. On to the next one.
