Yes, all manufactures are using the dreaded X13 ECM motor. If you can get a tech to do so replace it with a single speed motor and add a relay

SOURCE: Goodman Air Handler motor will not turn off.

Look at your Thermostat wiring.
If there is a green wire going to the "G" terminal, disconnect it.

If it stops running, you have a bad T-stat.

If it keeps running, you either have a stuck fan relay or a low voltage control wiring malfunction.
Those are usually related to one of the safety switches having problems.

If green is not going to G, let me know, and we will determine which one is indeed the fan wire and go from there.

Remember, when you rate the solution, it closes further dialog, so only rate when you are satisfied with the discusion.

SOURCE: What tonnage are these units and is it a variable speed.

The heat pump model number shows that it is a two and a half ton unit. I am sorry but I am not familiar with the air handler model number.

SOURCE: Home AC Air Handler is making Annoying clicking sounds randomly

It sounds like the problem is with the louvre swing motor which is either opening or closing the louvre but not stopping at the end. This is due to a faulty intergrated circiut (IC) programmable chip on the PC board. Only way to get around it is to replace the board.

American standard communicating air handler and heat pump blower wont come on new board 4 months ago any way to check the variable speed blower motor

High and low voltage AT the motor with no motor function is a bad motor. Should have 12 to 13 volts DC on r+ and r- (I believe are the correct terminals) You must test this when the machine is trying to run. Yes, it's dangerous, hire a licensed contractor!!

What causes my AC to sometimes stop cooling & can hear a buzzing from the motor?

The blower motor probably needs very badly to be cleaned, lubricated, or replaced, Michael.

I have a E2EB-017HA air handler and I want to change it to a variable speed motor. Is this possible

Some companies do sell a variable speed kit. It includes the motor and controls. Get your model and serial number of your unit and contact your local Payne dealer. The can locate the proper kit if available for you.

Wiring

Not sure about the actual voltage, but the primary power board shows 94 V @ 2A. As this appears to be a variable speed drive, the voltage amplitude should vary depending on the speed potentiometer setting. The most likely culprit is the speed potentiometer. Poor design causes vibrations on the printed circuit board. This induces metal fatigue in the potentiometer terminations at the board. Eventually one or more terminals snap off. You could try removing the pot and connecting the wiper termination connection directly to the relative end for full speed? This is assuming you want it to run at full speed? Failing that you could try variable resistance settings and then replace the pot with a fixed resistance for the required final speed?

Can you change a motorguide 65lb thrust foot control model with fix speed settings to a variable speed

well a "Speed Controller" can usually be used on ANY DC/AC motor, depending on type, some motors just will not work, with a speed controller... Think of it a bit like a "Light Dimmer", with the "Bulb" being the "Motor"
