What should I do if my blower motor keeps burning up?
Certain Goodman units have a blower that requires an uncommon lower RPM. On this unit, the typical 1075 RPM 1/2 HP motor is not an acceptable replacement and will fail. Checking the motor amperage against the nameplate would expose this problem.
How much does it cost to replace a blower motor?
See: how to check a fuse in a car. If a blower motor is bad, it will need to be replaced. The blower motor replacement costs from $320 to $650, depending on the car. In many cars it’s fairly easy; the blower motor is located behind the glove box and held by 3-4 screws.
Why does my HVAC blower need to be replaced?
The blower motor is the part of your HVAC system that uses the most energy, so it may very well be the culprit if you see a significant rise in your utility bills. An aging, problematic, or dirty motor has to work harder to properly circulate conditioned air throughout your home, which leads to higher energy consumption.
Can a blower motor relay be a problem?
One of the first symptoms of a problem with the blower motor relay is a blower motor that does not function at all. As the relay is the switch that supplies current to the blower motor, if it fails internally, then power will be cut off from the blower motor circuit, causing the motor to no longer function or blow any air from the vents.

What are the symptoms of a bad blower motor resistor?
Another common symptom of a faulty blower motor resistor is a a blower motor that does not function on certain settings. If the blower motor resistors’ internal components fail it may cause the blower motor to malfunction, or not function at all on one or more of the settings.

Why does my AC blower fan keep burning up?
1. The blower capacitor is weak causing the motor to overheat (a good tech would usually replace both the motor and the capacitor after a motor failure). 2. The motor is undersized. The HP and RPM of the motor must match the fan.
