Blower motor died on a 18 year old Furnace: Update 2
Well, it's been over 24 hours and my home is quiet and warm with the
new furnace motor. I have replaced it yesterday and everything is well so far. I hope it stays that way. Now another question. How does one adjust the dampers in a 2 story house. I understand that in the winter I need to favor downstairs with the air flow and in the summer the upstairs. I have two dampers to control the left and right side of the house downstairs and a third damper to control up/down distribution. I have set the bottom two to be almost all open and the up/down one to be almost closed, which would divert most of the air flow downstairs. After 24 hours with the new motor and these settings the temperature is within 1 degree between upstairs and downstairs. I am happy, but what do I do in the summer? Just the opposite? I noticed when installing the motor that the heating wire went to the high speed and the cooling wire went to the slow speed on the old motor. I wired the new motor the same way, but am wondering why is the cooling slower? Thanks as usual, love the forum! Vladimir |
