Checking Air Circulator Blower Motor - Goodman GM9S80 Service And Troubleshooting

SERVICING
Some of the electronic boards being used today, with flame
rectification, will not function properly and/or at all without
polarization of incoming power. Some also require phas-
ing between the primary and secondary sides of step-down
transformers.
A step-down transformer 120 volt primary to 24 volt second-
ary, 40 VA (Heating and Cooling Models) supplies ample
capacity of power for either operation.
HIGH VOLTAGE
Disconnect ALL power before servicing or
changing any electrical wiring. Multiple pow-
er sources may be present. Failure to do so
may cause property damage, personal injury
or death.
1. Remove blower compartment door to gain access to
the thermostat low voltage wires located at the fur-
nace integrated control module.
2. Remove the thermostat low voltage wires at the fur-
nace integrated control module terminals.
With Power On (and Door Interlock Switch closed):
Line Voltage now present.
Do not bypass any safety circuit.
3. Use a voltmeter, check voltage across terminals R
and C. Must read 24 VAC.
4. No voltage indicates faulty transformer, open fuse,
bad wiring, bad splice, or open door interlock switch.
5. Check transformer primary voltage at incoming line
voltage connections, fuse, splices, and blower door
interlock switch.
6. If line voltage is available to the primary side of trans-
former and not at secondary side, the transformer is
inoperative. Replace.
7. After completing check and/or replacement of trans-
former and check and/or repair of control circuit, rein-
stall blower compartment door.
8. Turn on electrical power and verify proper unit operation.

CHECKING AIR CIRCULATOR BLOWER MOTOR

Disconnect ALL power before servicing.
1. Remove blower compartment door to gain access
to the circulator blower motor and integrated ignition
control.
2. Check for any obstruction that would keep the fan
wheel/fan motor from turning.
3. Check wiring, the motor has two wiring harnesses,
a main harness and a control harness. The main pin
harness has: White neutral wire connected to the
Neutral terminal on the control board. Black wire con-
nected to the CIRC H terminal on the control board.
Red wire connected to the COM terminal, which is a
female spade connection next to the T1 – T5 wires on
the control board.
Green ground wire connected to cabinet ground.
The control harness has:
Blue wire connected to T1 on the control board.
Red wire connected to T2 on the control board.
Orange wire connected to T3 on the control board.
Black wire connected to T4 on the control board.
Yellow wire connected to T5 on control board.
4. The multi-speed ECM motor requires a line voltage
power supply (black connected to CIRC H and white
connected to neutral on the control board) as well as
a signal on one of the speed taps (T1-T5).
5. The speed tap voltage is A.C. and can vary which tap
is energized depending on DIP switch selection. The
voltage reading from any one of the speed taps is ref-
erenced between the female COM terminal next to the
speed taps on the control board. From COM to T1 or
T2, T3, T4, T5 you should read 24 VAC on the low
voltage speed taps.
