So Joe I think you are the one who rips people off, doing what ever you do to make a living! Oh how we rip people off! People like you rip me to no end! My wife supported me and she got to deduct a minus 384 dollars from her taxes too. 386 dollars: that is a minus in front of that 386 Joe! Oh and Joe how much do you make an hr? How much did you make on your taxes this year Joe?
You probably got an extended warranty for your TV but no not the most expensive appliance in your home? hmm That way you don't have to worry about the motor Joe! Did you opt out of the extended warranty? So my answer is when I sell new equipment, it has a 10yr part warranty on it. We have hell to pay with the customer.Īnother thing, I can't even buy the module from my distributor to put on the motor I have to buy the whole darn thing and it is expensive!!
Without, I would have been held up by this GE motor.ĭo you think GE tells us anything, or how to fix their motors? no sir they don't.Īs it was mentioned, GE doesn't even want anyone to know what part it is to be replaced.Īs a professional company we can't just Jerry or Joe Rig it.īecause if it doesn't work or blows out with in 30 days. I'm sure they made money on this sale and I don't resent them making money. I would have paid a lot more to get my heat working. That will save me $10 a day in electricity! Frankly I don't mind paying the $99 to have the right part with the instructions and I'm glad they provide this needed service. I was able to get rid of the space heaters that I have been using since the motor went out. The bottom line is that it worked and it saved me over $1000 compared to the quote from the HVAC repairman. It took me less than 30 minutes to fix the unit and it came with well detailed pictured instructions. There was a place that advertised that they had them and when I e-mailed they told me the part was obsolete and discontined.Ī shipped the part overnight and I had warm heat the very next day. Radio Shack did not have them and Digikey did not have them and Allied did not have them. I know others have said that you can get these parts somewhere else, but I could not find them anywhere other than. They are also on eBay and have some pictures of the burned part which is part number SG379 or SG348. And anything else I sould know about? This is my first stab at A/C repair.Īs I stated above I fixed my blower motor by going to and getting the correct part. Where is the cheapest place to get a new module? And is the wiring clip (16 pin) available? I need to clean up the wires too. And to top the cake, my Queen - Her Majesty Herself - wants it fixed yesterday. A couple of traces look burnt as well, some dirt, and some corrosion I don't know if I can fix it. I took the control module off the motor and found the C03-C05 parts (Blue caps - I think) on the board toasted. He said I need the control module and wiring harness. Well now my extended warranty has run out and my repairman wants $1100 to fix a stopped blower motor. It seems like each Spring I need to get the air fixed and each Fall I need the heat fixed. It has been nothing but trouble since day one. I have a Carrier model 50SX size 48 at home. I know this is an old thread, but it's the only one I could find with close information. Here's the web page for Digikey - once we have the specs, then this is where to search for suitable substitute. I'm guessing these are a variety of thermistor called "inrush current limiting" - someone please correct me if this is wrong. This saved me about $1400 and came with a three year warranty.īob - Digikey sells thermisters for a range of prices - if you can read the information from your part we may be able to figure out the specs and find an even more economical alternative ( wants $99 for a part that can likely be purchased for less than $10). I got the part, soldered it in and my Carrier blower motor is now working perfectly. I couldn't figure out why they had it, but the guy on the phone said they use this same part in their generators. The number on my blown and burned out part is SG379.
