Mission Accomplished!!!

**Ambush Master** · 06-17-2004, 22:50

Well, we lost the Evaporator Blower night before last on the M1- A1 Household Air Conditioning Unit !! High of 94 and luckily a low in the low 70s made the last couple of nights bearable, for those that did not go through Camp Mackall in a GP Medium Tent, that reside in my household !!! Picked up a new start/run capacitor yesterday morning and it didn't kick it over, so last night I started dismantling the machine. Today, I waited until about 2030 hrs and removed said "Blower Motor". Cleaned it up, lubed it up with Militec Oil and Grease, then re-installed it, re-connecterd all associated wiring !! Now we have "COOL AIR" !!!

Happiness is !!!!!!

Later,
Martin

Even though I FLY for FREE, I doubt that you could afford what I'd charge !!!

Although, given the right conditions and situations at hand, I would travel just to meet some of the people that frequent PS.com, if I could be of assistance!!

Take care

Sir,
I felt a 5 degree drop in temp here in Ohio just reading that.

Congrats A/C Master...

I had to replace the fan motor and the start capacitors (mine had two separate ones, one for the compressor and one for the fan motor) on one of my house A/c units last summer...

Good feeling to fix something yourself... well, that combined with the cold air and loving surprise look from HH6 when you actually fix the friggin thing. LOL

AM, are you going to write Militec and tell them about the new use you found for their product?

Well the oh-so-competent building maintenence men have been "fixing" our office building's a/c for about oh....3 weeks now. We too have had the high heat and humidity and it is rather uncomfortable to say the least. I bet I could take up a collection amongst the tenants and we'd have more than enough to make it worth your while!

AM, I'm proud of ya, when i have a seized up motor, I just flood it with WD-40 until it catches fire when it's started. That burns out all the bad grease. Then you spray more WD-40 into it and see if it still spins. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!! "Professional knifemaker who works by himself"

And I thought I was dangerous.
