Hi everyone,
I have a Carrier/Bryant air conditioning unit model 566dj024, which is seriously old. It is in my condo, and I only plan on owning it for another year or two, so I don't want to shell out, nor do I have the cash for a new unit.

The HVAC technician told me the blower motor is bad, which I don't deny, but it occasionally works. My AC was blowing warm when the motor didn't kick on, and when it does kick on, it blows very cold, all I do is hit the blower motor with a hammer and it kicks on :deadhorse: . Problem is, they are wanting $ for the motor and another $ for installation. The motor is a Bryant GE Genteq Double Shafted Furnace BLOWER MOTOR 208-230v (5KCP39FGG015AS), which I can pick up online for less than $. I also understand they need to get paid to pay for all costs, but in todays world, we need to save where we can.

So, is the motor necessarily bad, or would it being very dirty inside be a reason, or a loose wire? I'm OK to replace it, but if it is something that might mended, I'd rather do that for now. Thanks for your help!

Get a little person to stand inside your unit to hit the motor each time you want A/C, other than that their price is not out of line! The motor has bad bearings!

Sorry, prices are not allowed.

That is OLD and yes, the double shafted motor is likely very salty and sure not worth doing. Get a window shaker or 2 if you can't afford a repair. But it better be working by the time you try to sell. And if you can't use a window unit, a 2 pipe portable works.

I love internet parts. Sell installing and self warrantying. Experienced, self educating and automatically fix themselves for free if they break down inside the warranty period. Never have any complications and are always of the highest quality.

it would be a good time to replace the system, many home owners have had to replace there unit to sell the place and never got to use it

I don't get this. Can't blow if motor isn't running!
