    Carrier Home A/C has busted fan motor
    Can anyone tell me what a fair price estimate would be to repair this problem. Its an older unit and I just don't have the money for a replacement unit just yet. Thanks in advance.

    Here is a site that sells these items to homeowners. They are higher than a supply store, if you can find one. They are very simple to remove and install yourself. Free Heating and Cooling Price Quotes From Local HVAC ContractorsI also have wiring diagrams for most Carries models if you need them.

    If it is a 825 RPM motor it will cost more. You can opt for the sleeve style bearings instead of the ball bearing model that came originally with your unit. Since it is older it will not make a difference since the sleeve motor will outlast the unit and you will save $$$.

    If you have some tools you can fix it yourself.

    Sorry but the link didn't come up correctly. The site for parts is: "www.myhvacparts.com" When I copied it, I see that it pasted as an advertisement for contractors. Maybe that was planned ? Anyway, the site has a very large selection of parts. I think the prices are high, but sometimes it's difficult for a homeowner to obtain the parts. Johnston supply refuses to sell to us and Grainger seems reluctant to find what you need. Again good luck.

    You might be able to get the motor re-wound, but again these shops adjust their prices upward for homeowners. Have you taken the motor apart and looked inside yet? There may be brushes that you can replace yourself. If there are, you can always get a larger one and grind it down to fit if the right size isn't available.

    Have a heating repair friend contact one of the supply stores after you give them your motor number!

    Today's time those parts houses are hungry for business,

    I did it !
