Bro was changing their own stat. Only times I've ever had these kind of calls. Thermostat batteries and flame sensor cleanings are good contenders for this avenue. Im just saying of jobs that could go good or could go bad. Watching the wheel drop takes the cake
I was sent to replace a motor that 2 dudes spent all day fucking up. They slapped on a new motor and blower wheel. The problem was it was a 240v air handler and they slapped in a 120 motor. I got there the next day with the 240 motor. Wheel isn’t coming off. BRAND NEW WHEEL AND MOTOR!!! Had to take a torch to it. FML. Come to find out they had trouble getting the new wheel on for some reason.
Was a geo heat pump, so blower is bathing in humidity during cooling. Even gave it a soak in Kroil for half an hour. Now i just have to beat it like it owes me money.
Didnt have to take a torch to it? Thats a bonus. Ive had one so bad i ended up sawing it on the motor side so i could hammer it out from the other way. Was a shit show
I’ve had to do this once. Now I keep a piece of blower motor shaft in my truck just for this purpose as something to hammer through to get the old shaft out
I just had to replace a bearing assembly on a pump a few days ago and had to reuse the impeller. Had all my shit ready to go for fighting it off. Wiggled it a teeny bit with my hand and it slid right off!
I dunno... i do like it when the unit works again after the repair. I think thats pretty satisfying 🤣
Yeah, when it runs smoothly afterwards...
Pretty much exactly how i feel
When you after market spins the correct way the first time.
I'm calling bs, this has never happened.
Had plenty that slides like butter
I love when the call is a blown fuse nothing is shorted you throw a new one in and never get a call back.

Ghost pop
You ever do a van pop?
Yep specially when you added a 10 amp fuse and get a call 6 months later cause their transformer is dead. (Senior Tech)
Gonna have to argue that an old CFM doing that is an even better feeling
I just get into the habit of taking the blade off before going to get the cfm, just to be sure. If it takes more than 5 minutes I order the blade.
Finding a clogged strainer on a chiller call
Lucky bastard.

What about when you loosen the set screw then a wad of 100 dollar bills falls down from inside the blower wheel?
On the flip side one of the worst is when you loosen the screw and nothing will ever fix it ever
He never had one I’ve had trouble removing. I got pullers and it takes 2 mins
I had one last year that was so stuck it stripped the threads on my hub puller. Was a sad day.
Holy shit. I had a sheave that was like that but not a blow or fan. When we do quotes for them we typically just price out a fan blade also.

I'm on my 4th puller on about 20 years for that same reason
I’ve had wheels that won’t budge and my puller just end up driving itself through the shaft of the motor
Is a puller the same thing as a grinder?
If is stuck pound it on further. Remove the burr the set screw created and use a puller. Majestic

Lucky. I’ve only done a couple of those and it was a pain in the ass both times.
