On an X13 motor, my supply house will not accept just the module, they want to whole motor for warranty, unless something has change in the past two weeks.Quote:

We've replaced several of them. But I've found zero correlation between X13 failures and static pressure. Just my personal observation. The last two that I replaced were actually running low ESP's, as in 0.3-0.4". There was rust on the shafts though, indicating that the problem was probably condensation. Dehumidification mode may have been responsible for that. I've started ignoring the instructions and using the next lower speed tap for low cooling (dehumidification) speed rather than the "lowest speed that doesn't cause evap coil freezing." There were also some X13's that were just defective. There was a bulletin issued and it was posted in this forum somewhere. Something about a component in the motor module that would overheat IIRC.Quote:

Unit does not trip breaker. Its just a way to reset module?
George,
Confirm correct voltage. Ohm out the motor. If the motor is good, replace the module.
Mr. Bill,
Carrier is now paying warranty labor for module replacements. I'm not sure what brand your talking about.
Thanks Mr. Bill. Unit is a Rheem 3 Phase with a single phase gentec x-13 there is also a Emerson comfort alert commercial diagnostics contraption on the unit to add to the wiring nest . Any how I'll be up on that roof tomorrow, forgot to mention with a can of wasp spray there is a giant wasp nest in disconnect:yes: George
Ruud, it sure would be nice if Ruud started paying labor for module replacements, maybe they will "someday". :grin2:Quote:
