Replacing the Motor Module
1 - Disconnect electrical power to unit.
2 - Remove unit access panel.
3 - Unplug the two harnesses from the motor control mod-
ule. See FIGURE 10.
4 - Remove the two hex head bolts securing the motor
control module to the motor (FIGURE 11).
5 - Slide the motor control module away from the motor to
access and disconnect the internal three wire connec-
tor. It is not necessary to remove blower motor itself.
Set both hex head bolts aside.

Testing the Motor (FIGURE 12)
If any motor fails the below tests, do not install the new
control module. The motor is defective and it also must be
replaced. The new control can fail if placed on a defective
motor.
1 - Using an ohmmeter check the resistance from any one
of the motor connector pins to the aluminum end plate
of the motor. This resistance should be greater than
100k ohms.
2 - Check the resistances between each of the three mo-
torconnector pins. These should all read approximate-
ly the same resistance within an ohm.
3 - Check to see if the blower wheel spins freely.

Motor Module Installation
All replacement motor control modules look similar; how-
ever, each module is designed for a specific motor size.
It is very important to make sure that you are using the
correct replacement motor control module. USE OF THE
WRONG MOTOR CONTROL MODULE MAY RESULT IN
UNEXPECTED UNIT OPERATION.
1 - Verify electrical power to unit is disconnected.
2 - Connect three-wire harness from motor to control
module.
3 - Mount new motor control module to motor using two
hex head bolts removed in FIGURE 11. Torque bolts
to 22 inch pounds or 1/16th clock turn as exampled to
the right.
4 - Reconnect the two harnesses to the motor control
module.
5 - The electrical connectors of the motor should be facing
down to form a drip loop (FIGURE 13). This will directs
moisture away from the motor and its electric connec-
tions on the motor.
