SERVICING
- Connectors are oriented "down" (or as recommended by equipment manufacturer). - Arrange harnesses with "drip loop" under motor.
- Is condensate drain plugged? - Check for low airflow (too much latent capacity).
- Check for undercharged condition. - Check and plug leaks in return ducts, cabinet.
*Moisture Check
Important Note: Using the wrong motor/control module voids all product warranties and may produce unexpected results.
Note: You must use the correct replacement control/motor module since they are factory programmed for specific operating modes. Even though they look alike, different modules may have completely different
functionality. The ECM variable speed motors are c
