Re: Test Outdoor Fan Motor

The unit uses a DCV 3-Phase fan motor.


1. Test Winding Resistance

  • Disconnect power to the outdoor unit.
  • Wait at least 30 seconds for the capacitors to discharge.
  • Disconnect the leads to the fan motor (Red, White & Blk).
  • Test resistance across the motor windings.
Lead Color Normal Resistance
GE09/12 GE15 GE18/24
Red - Blk 28 - 40 ohms 11 - 16 ohms
Blk - Wht
Wht - Red

2. Test Motor Bearings

  • Disconnect power to the outdoor unit.
  • Wait at least 30 seconds for the capacitors to discharge.
  • Rotate the fan blade manually.
  • The motor should rotate smoothly.
  • Test resistance across the motor windings.

3. Test Motor Feedback

  • Disconnect power to the outdoor unit.
  • Wait at least 30 seconds for the capacitors to discharge.
  • Disconnect CN931 and CN932 from the Inverter P.C. Board
  • Turn on power to the unit.
  • On CN931, check DC voltage across the pins as you manually rotate the motor.
    • Between 1(+) and 5(-)
    • Between 2(+) and 5(-)
    • Between 3(+) and 5(-)
  • DC voltage should alternate between 0 and 5 vdc.
